I Selected option B but the correct answer was option A

The reason I selected B is because I viewed that "some resident feel taxes where High" as the conclusion.

Could someone please make me understand why is option A correct?

Just starting out here. Hoping to take the November LSAT. Studying about 4 hours 5 days a week.

I've taken a prep-test and completed blind review. However, I'd still like to hide the correct answer choices to review again. Is this possible?

If Im' supposed to be taking preptests weekly or biweekly, but only studying LR through following the syllabus, how am I supposed to be learned LG and RC? Should I stick to the lesson plan in the syllabus or should I be focusing on improving LG and RC before the next preptest? #help !!!

I don't understand the use of the word broadsides or the context of this questions at all. I was confused at what it was saying and what was being asked. Please help explain.

I selected D, but the correct answer is E. Can someone help me understand why D is wrong?

If I put Gina in the Wednesday slot, I am wondering why this pattern won't work:

Struggling to see what rule I am violating. Thanks.

Hi, does anyone know why the answer is B and not C?

How can you tell the level of difficulty for the passages in the RC section? I know the passages have gotten more difficult recently and they are not necessarily in the order of easiest to hardest? Should we attack the passages with the most questions first? Or should we just go through in the order provided?

By adding the correct answer choice, the argument sound coherent, and adding the premisse ( correct answer) bolsters the argument.

Since most automobile trafic is local, and most high speed highways are used by both commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles, a net saving in full was achieved with no loss in safety.

If you have a statement that says, "Not all A's are C's," then why can't negating that statement be "No A's are C's" in addition to "Some A's are not C's?"

I can't study. I'm not ready for the Jan lsat and the last few weeks I just cannot study. I thought, 'oh I guess this is what burnout looks like?' But after researching a bit, it doesn't sound like burnout?

I lost my dad to suicide last year and it was a really wild ride leading up to his death... he was on the run from the FBI, then incarcerated. It was a really stressful time for me because I knew he wasn't mentally well and I knew things were going to end badly. I literally begged anyone I could think of--the judge, his pre-trial officer, parole officer, his lawyer, the prosecution, anyone, to get him mental health help. The way things ended was worst case scenario and I'm still processing it all.

And my husband recently lost his job. I don't work so that's obviously super stressful. So much is riding on the lsat for me personally. I left a high-demand religion after being extremely devout my entire life. I'm trying to carve out my own life and identity outside the religion, but it's been such an uphill battle.

Anyway, this isn't meant to be a sob story, but looking for advice. I probably shouldn't apply this cycle? I am scoring in the 150's on PT's but my goal is much higher. I want to reach my score potential. But I also have to balance the reality of needing to get going with law school. I'm older and I need to start my career sooner rather than later.

-Should I even take the Jan lsat?

I've never had depression until after my dad died, and then it was very intense. But I'm in therapy and feeling so much better and have been doing well with studying consistently. I'm puzzled by the study paralysis because I know I don't have to take the Jan lsat--I don't feel like I'm over pressuring myself and feel like I'm good at being gentle with myself and accepting I can't study and doing things I enjoy or want to get done instead.

Any general tips, words of encouragement, or insight would be appreciated.

I am kind of confused as to why the answer for this question is C and not B? I feel like a may be missing the basis of the argument because it seems that it is arguing for groups over individuals and not really having to do with founder v.s. non founder.

Why is the correct answer A?

What does "priority"mean in the results section? For example, when you review your drill answers, there is a column that says priority. What does it refer to?

I narrowed it down to D or E, but neither really made much sense to me but I felt D was a little better so I chose it, though the correct answer was E. This question felt much more like a reconciliation question rather than an MSS question to me

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a strategy that has worked very well for me in improving my performance on LR questions. I've been coming to the realization that around 95% of the time I get a question wrong, it is because I didn't understand the stimulus. At first, I blamed myself for this, saying that I simply was not smart enough to decipher what I was reading, and this, of course, did not help me whatsoever. But, as I started to progress through the lessons, I realized that the LSAT is intentionally confusing. If the test were written by sane, normal, and non-sadistic people who wrote English in the way we all do, the LSAT would be one of the easier standardized tests. So, I decided to look for places where I could find arguments contained in very complex and confusing wording and language. And that is when I stumbled across this thing called the Supreme Court. I found that the arguments they were presenting were strikingly similar to some of the arguments I've encountered on the LSAT in terms of complexity, grammar, etc. So I got to reading cases and this is the strategy I followed.

This trained both my comprehension and my memory skills. So far, I've done about 20 cases and I've noticed sizable improvements in my stimulus comprehension since then.

This is the book I used: https://www.amazon.com/Supreme-Court-Decisions-Penguin-Classics/dp/0143121995

(It is part of a larger series of civic books; I strongly recommend that you check out the other books).

While I haven't gotten to preparing for the reading comprehension section of the test, I am sure this will aid me in that too.

(P.S. Besides just improving your LSAT performance, I feel as though reading SCOTUS cases will be of other use as well. First, it is important to know your rights. Second, the Supreme Court is kinda important to the law and stuff and I think a prospective lawyer should know at least some things about the law.)

(P.P.S. Another strategy that may help is imagining that every argument you come across on the LSAT is being presented by your least favorite Justice; I think that will allow you to more readily see flaws in the reasoning.)

Hello I was wondering if anybody could help me with the reasoning in AC A and C.

I see how the correct answer choice of A would weaken the argument, if true, so I see how it's the right answer, however I am having trouble seeing why C is not the answer. My thinking was that time plays a role, like an alternative hypothesis/factor affecting theft rate in the neighborhood, that would justify less theft overall? So I dont know what is not clicking

Any help is appreciated!

Well I just took the L on my first lsat. With score release today I figured I need to make a change so, add me on discord if you are interested in prepping for august. I am like a 150s scorer so I don’t blame you if you don’t want to waste your time.

Discord: orbits777

I have yet to sit down and do full length PTs. I've been studying using the drill feature - so I'll do 2 games, 1/2 LR, 2 passages, etc. - and I'll complete parts of the PT little by little. I completed all sections of PT 70, but still unable to see my score?

Can I only see my score when I sit down and do full length PTs? Or will I only see my scores if I study going Practice > PrepTests > doing 1 section at a time?

I want to keep track of my PT scores without doing full PTs just yet and utilizing the drill feature. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Does anyone want to do a study group for hard LG questions?

Hello! I appear to hard time with sufficient and necessary which is leading to me applying them wrong in lawgic and getting the quiz questions backwards. Can someone please help in dumbing it down? I went back to review but somehow confused myself even more and might just be overthinking it now. I would appreciate any help.

I’m planning on writing the LSAT in August and have been recently struggling with lr. I previously was averaging -6 but on the pts in the 80’s and 90’s I have started to average -11.

Please let me know if you have any tips to recover from this downfall.

Hi everyone,

I am hosting a 2 month LSAT accountability sprint. What does this mean?

We will create a group and for 2 months we will: keep each other accountable with LSAT studying by coworking on a regular basis and scheduling check-ins.

Weekly Check-ins:

Time-block coworking:

I will host time-block coworking sessions every day. At the start of each time block we will do a short check-in to discuss our goals for that time block. During these time-blocks we will NOT review questions together or have test review sessions. We will simply do our own thing and co-work.

Time blocks:

9-11AM EST (daily)

1-3PM EST (daily)

7-9PM EST (daily)

Discord Community:

If interested, ping me for the discord link.

When does this start?

As soon as we get a solid and committed group going.

Can anyone explain how it's B and not D

I broke it down like this

I thought of it as MC for the end because it would justify why they did all this

I am a bit confused about the last sentence. Is except the same as the group "unless/without"?

Thanks!
