HELP WITH LSAT!!!!

Hi everyone! I’m trying to find someone who has taken the LSAT near Vista CA who can meet up with my boyfriend Graham. (IN PERSON NOT ONLINE) His test is this Saturday January 26th. He needs help improving speed and accuracy at the same time. He gets all the answers with unlimited time but when timed he misses some and doesn’t finish all the questions. Please let me know if someone can help. PM me anytime! Thank you.

I know this is early on in the section, but it's very tricky. None of the explanations I find online are satisfying.

For justify principle questions, the premises should connect with the conclusion, and this doesn't happen here.

First, a discussion of the stimulus:

Premise: The styling of characters in Quirks is not problematic because the film is funny, and that is necessary for a comedy.

Conclusion: The criticism of Quirks is misguided.

I would prephrase if a film is successful within their genre, actions that lead to that film's success as part of that genre is not warranted. (something along those lines)

The correct answer is as follows: D. "Films are successful if they succeed within their genre"

"if they succeed within their genre" = the film is funny, that is the most important thing for comedy

"films are successful" = ?

How can we conclude that "films are successful" = "criticism is misguided"? To me, that is still a big gap, that is not justified from the principle.

I don't think I have ever encountered a difficult LR sections as PT73. Please help!

Hi, I'm new to studying so I'm having trouble with making an inference. The stimulus states that "none of the responses among terminal cancer patients to various therapeutic measures has been more positive than the response among those who consumed shark cartilage". The powerscore bible states that we can infer "(consuming) shark cartilage has received a more positive response than any other therapy". First, how would we diagram this or is it even diagrammable? Second, what fundamental is this testing? Is it logical opposites? Thanks in advance and happy new year!

Fine Print (NOTE: you all want to be lawyers; reading fine print is what lawyers do, so READ IT!)

BR GROUP NOTES:

  • If you want to attend these sessions, you MUST click that link.
  • Here’s an FAQ on GoToMeeting.com: http://www.gotomeeting.com/meeting/online-meeting-support
  • For everyone: take the PT under timed conditions; BR as you are able; join us for all or part of the call—everyone is welcome.
  • Note: For the purposes of the call, we like to check our group blind review score together at the very end of the call :) So at least don't say ... "No guys, really, it's D, I checked it.” Use your reasoning.
  • These groups work best when folks from ALL stages of prep and with all different goals join in! Not just for "super-preppers" and definitely not just for the casual LSATer (does such a person exist?).
  • The only expectation anyone has for these calls is for you to have fun and ask questions as you desire. We are just a bunch of LSAT lovers who gather via GoToMeeting and intellectually slaughter each test.

    I've been watching a lot of the logic games videos and see a difference between open ended games and those that you need to make inferences for. Are there any telling signs that you need to make inferences, or is this simply intuition you need to acquire through practice?

    I feel like soon as I can cement this I will be good! I'm challenged to properly identify whether one can pronounce 'X' or 'Y' of a given statement as a certain condition BECAUSE the logical indicator preceded it or not. Are there circumstances with rules for when it does not? I keep getting caught in the confusion between how to label what is before and after the logical indicator. And yes, I have gone through the lessons on this.

    J.Y. can you assist with this #help

    In the interest of writing my LOCI's I've been visiting schools and contacting admissions offices.

    I recently contacted a school that told me I was welcome to do a self-guided tour, OR, to wait a few weeks and then schedule a meeting with an admissions officer. They specifically told me it was a "Wait List informational meeting" and that it was "neither evaluative nor an interview."

    What exactly is it then? Does anybody have experience with this type of meeting? Is it worth it to wait until after May 15th to visit this school or does that sound late? Does it sound like they'd take my interest more seriously if I did this then just check in at the office for a self-guided tour? I only have the $ to visit this school once and honestly even that is a stretch, so I'd like to get the most bang for my buck.

    Hi,

    Quick question about the above referenced problem. Why is (C) correct, and (B) wrong? I personally disliked (C) because of the word "remain". Stimulus is talking about "being" free (and "becoming" free), not about "remaining".

    TIA!

    How’d it go for everyone? Personally, I was annoyed by the paper test after all of the digital prep I’ve done. I had two LG sections and I’m praying that the art gallery was experimental.

    Proctors:

    Morning test start, so make sure you arrive at David Turpin building at the very latest 8:30am. The check-in will be right in the main floor when you enter in the building.

    Facilities:

    David Turpin Building - Large Class Room - Holds a couple hundred students

    What kind of room:

    The seating rows are like stadium seating sloping down towards the chalkboard

    How many in the room:

    I would approximate the attendance to be close to 150 students

    Desks:

    Large tables with swivel chairs that are very uncomfortable and do not allow for much adjustment because they are fastened to the tables.

    Left-handed accommodation:

    Yes

    Noise levels:

    Noise levels are very good. Very few distractions.

    Parking:

    Parking is also very good with a huge stadium parking lot right across the road from the test taking building. Because the tests are done on Saturday there is usually plenty of space and I only had to pay $2.50 for the whole day.

    Time elapsed from arrival to test:

    Arrival time 8:30 - Finish time 1:40pm October 2015 write date (it was very unorganized for this write date)

    Arrival times 8:30 - Finish time 12:40pm February 2016 write date

    Irregularities or mishaps:

    In October 2015 there was a section that no 5 minute warning was announced which was frustrating for many test takers that day. The staff at the February write were much more organized and more pleasant to deal with.

    Other comments:

    Would you take the test here again?

    Yes, definitely. Although it would be nice to have more comfortable chairs for the 4 hour experience.

    Date[s] of Exam[s]:

    Oct. 2015 and Feb. 2016

    I chose D as an answer based on the whole passage (It talks about literary techniques, right?), but the right answer is A. I couldn't find which part of the passage makes A is a right answer.

    I have no idea why D is wrong and A is the right answer.

    Can anyone explain me?

    Thanks!
