Prep Test A Section 1 Question 21

I was stuck between answer choices C and E for this question but am having a hard time fully understanding why C is the correct answer. Would appreciate an explanation! #help #feedback

Looking for people around the East Coast to form either a partnership or study group. I am a rising college Junior planning to take the LSAT in June of next year and have just started studying. Intending to begin by reading Scott M. Sullivan's An Introduction To Traditional Logic: Classical Reasoning For Contemporary Minds along with 7Sage curriculum. Aiming for a score of 170+. As I work full time I'm available from 7:00PM-12:00AM most days with a great deal more time available on days off.

Hi all!

Hope everyone had a Happy New Year!

I haven't been studying much since I was focused on finding employment after being laid off from COVID, however, I'm happy to say I'll be starting a new job this week, and I feel like I can refocus my attention on the LSAT.

The last time I studied consistently was probably early November. I did a bit here and there throughout November/December, but I would say probably only an hour or two every other week. I feel like I'll be rusty getting back into more of a strict schedule, and like I may have "forgotten" my strategies for LR/LG. Does anyone have any tips for someone who's taken a break for this long and is now returning to LSAT studying again?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you :)

Currently studying full time, trying to maintain a consistent study schedule for the June exam. Doing mostly okay, but some days I've been having difficulty staying focused and motivated.

We don't need to share a schedule or anything, the goal is to just keep each other accountable for whatever goals we have for that specific day. Ideally, we'll hop on Zoom at 9AM(KST), cams off, and share study goals we set for that day, and report any missed any goals(if there is one) from the previous day. The whole process ideally takes less than 15 minutes to make sure everyone can stick to whatever schedule they're keeping to. I already have another irl friend who's studying for something else but will join us when we start.

The group will meet every Monday~ Friday, excluding weekends, until June 6th. Because of the nature of the group, we're mostly just looking for people who are either in Korea, or are in similar time zones where 9AM KST is still early morning.

My friend and I will be starting next Monday. If anyone's interested, DM me and I'll shoot you a Zoom meeting link.

Okay so I have gotten above a 170 twice now, (171 and 176), which is cool and fun when I see the score, but should I pay attention to them in analytics? My average score is a 162, and with the exception of those two scores I haven't broken 165 in any of the 20 tests I've taken.

Hello 7sage community,

I have been studying for the LSAT for about 3.5 years. Normally, time standardized tests are one of my weaknesses. I have been using 7sage for the past 2.5 years and recently finished the core curriculum (CC) in July. Some of the reasons why it took me a while to finish the CC is because one of my professors and I are trying to publish a law article at the same time, and I work. Since my first practice test in July after completing CC, I have been able to raise my score from a 132 to a 144. Despite the progress, I am unsure of how to increase my score anymore. My desire score is a 156 on the LSAT by April of 2024. I want to concentrate on improving in LR and LG to achieve my target score. I recently bought “The Loophole” by Ellen Cassidy and intend to read it soon. And have been fool proofing logic games too. Is there anyone willing to be my study buddy, who is currently PTing in the 150s or higher, or is there any other advice that someone can give me to increase my score?

Working my way through the CC, and right now on LG. Should I do the board setup and questions before watching the videos? It feels more active learning to me that way whereas just watching the videos would be passive, but I also don't want to take on bad habits. Any advice?

I just finished the principle reasoning section, and I'm wondering if I should go back and redo the lawgic lessons. I still find myself really struggling with the forms (and wanting to use them when I attempt to answer the questions). Has anyone had the same problem? Or has anyone gone back and redone the lessons?

BTW I plan to take the LSAT for the first time in April

I've read a lot of horror stories about the last several LSATs taken remotely following the switch to Prometric. I'm trying not to worry. I know there could be sampling bias on discussion boards toward those who had bad experiences vs those who had zero issues.

Does anyone have advice to prepare? Additional items to have/remove, questions to ask, room requirements, etc.

I took the LSAT previously with ProctorU and didn't have issues, but it sounds like things have changed. I read the official guidelines on LSAC and Prometric, but I've also heard some contradictions (which could lead to interruptions).

Thanks so much in advance.

Hi everyone! I am from Ontario and am applying to Canadian law schools. I got my score back from the October LSAT and it was a 154 (my first attempt). This is lower than my practice exams as I consistently score in the 160's. My question is, do you think I should cancel my score and try again in January? Also if I do the January exam will Canadian universities still consider me for admission? Thank you so much for you help, I really appreciate any advice:)

Hey everyone. I am doing the core curriculum and have noticed a lot of my answers I get wrong are because I simply read the answer choice wrong / argument wrong because I was so nervous to get it right within the time limit, even when I do not show the time elapsed. I plan on taking the test the second time in 2024 because my mind absolutely blanked during the actual test. It was like everything I had learned went down the drain and was like I didn't spend months studying for the test. I would greatly appreciate it for some tips to help this from happening again, whether it be for drills, etc. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Afternoon everyone!

I have my LR down to -4 on average but am not confident in SA and NA questions no matter how much I practice. Any tips on how to do them without diagramming? I get more confused when I diagram and do not find it helpful in the least.

Thanks!

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for a study buddy and accountability partner for the LSAT living in the NY area.

I can meet weekly on Sundays in person and during the week via Skype or Google Hangout. I live in Nassau County, but I'd be comfortable traveling to Suffolk, Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Statem Island, the Bronx or Westchester.

Anyone interested??? You can send me a PM.

Hi there,

I have noticed that the questions I get wrong on RC are always the inference based ones. Anyone have any advice on how to improve on this particular question type?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I know this has been mentioned before and I even commented on a post about this but is it normal to score better on one of the 2 LR sections every time on PTs? I consistently get around -5 for the first section and -8 on the second. Is the second section generally harder or is it perhaps fatigue?

Also am I right in assuming that the experimental section on the real test isn't guaranteed to be LR? At this point I am kind of hoping two LG section come up as they are actually kind of fun. Still making small stupid mistakes on them but hoping I get more accurate with more practice.

Hello...I have really bad test anxiety and money to spend so I was planning to go through with the January LSAT and see how I do. If I don't do well I am planning to take the February LSAT (already signed up). I score pretty decently on practice exams but my question is...does this look bad to admissions?

So the stimulus presents a paradox where sales (as measured by the value of the clothes sold) has increased one year an then Fabrico closed a store the very next year due to low demand. How can sales be up but demand fall sharply the next year? C presents a situation in which a huge increase in the price of raw materials spikes and the clothing prices spike too. (for instance, a $5 t shirt is now being sold for $15. Maybe Fabrico sold 2 t shirts and now people are only buying 1 but because the success is being measured by the value of the clothing, 1987 was a good year). It then follows that it would be unsustainable for customers to keep buying now-expensive clothes in 1988 and Fabrico would close a factory.

I answered C for this question and cannot understand why C is wrong. It seems to me like it parallels the method of reasoning and the wording very closely. Can anyone help?

Also, it would be great to only have questions with access to a correction when drilling, it's very frustrating to not know why we got certain questiosn wrong...
