I picked A. Correct answer B. I don't see how the current groups give enough info to draw a conclusion.

JY states that the group of "people rely on the web when attempting to diagnose medical conditions" falls in to the group of "people who browse the web for medical information". True. But I don't think this matters?

We need to make an appeal that the first group, the people who rely on the web, will be fooled by the quackery. It's possible that the only people that group of people rely on the web only contains people with a medical background, as well as, people who can always discriminate between scientific valid theory and quackery, in which case, B doesn't assist at all in proving the conclusion because they are relying exclusively on scientifically valid information.

I see another necessary assumption being something that needs to eliminate this subgroup, and make it not possible to exist.

A was the best choice from here.

Follow up - does "typically" have a definition on the LSAT?

I am planning on applying this fall for fall 2021. I am planning my classes for my last two semesters, and am finding that with the load I would greatly benefit from taking one of the classes the summer after I graduate. I walk at graduation but of course am not completely done until that class ends in the summer. Can I do that for law school if I want to start in the fall? Or do I have to be completely finished in the spring. Hopefully that makes sense.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, all!

After some fits and starts and a few delays, I'm finally signed up, ready, and excited to take the June LSAT Flex test. And as I begin practice testing in earnest, I'm left with one question: Are Flex test takers able to use an ink pen during the test?

I ask because when I'm able to draw up my Logic Games game boards using a pen instead of a pencil, I find my game boards are tidier and that makes getting through the games simpler. I consistently score three or four points better on Logic Games when I'm able to use a pen.

I understand LSAC provided an ink pen to those who took the digital LSAT and I'm hopeful those of us taking the Flex test will also be able to use one. But before I start practicing with a pen, I thought I should ask the group to see if May Flex test takers were able to use a pen or if anyone has information I don't.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

So I got this question wrong because D looked wrong to me (D was actually the right answer).

The stimulus is saying that reduced speed limits do not protect the environment because it makes it so that cars spend more time spewing exhaust on the road.

To me, this meant that the author was assuming that if you spend more time on the road driving slowly, you will spew more exhaust (or the same) than if you were driving faster

In order for this to be true, time has to play a big factor in the amount of exhaust spewed; but is it the most important (which is the meaning of "primary")? And what if it only determines a big part of the emission spewed but not the "total" emission? I feel like the argument would still stand

This is why “total emission” and “primarily” seem like logical jumps for me

Can anyone show me the flaw in my reasoning that makes D correct?

So I've been working on really getting good at recognizing all the potential numerical distributions in certain logic games and I wanna know how some of you are going about dealing with them. When exactly is the best time to go about figuring out all of the potential distributions? Or better, how do you know when finding out the distributions will actually prove as beneficial and not a waste of time? Does anyone think it is never a waste of time to do them every time possible (if you're really good at logic games)? Powescore says it's a critical tool which I agree with but how consistent are you supposed to be with using this "critical tool".

Aiming for 162, is it possible to increase my score by 7 points by the June test? I have gone through the core curriculum 3 times and have been stuck around 155 for weeks on the PTs. How can I improve? Should I invest in an lsat book or another online program? Average -4 LG, -7/-8 LR, -11 RC.

Hi Everyone,

I'm supposed to start law school in New York City in the Fall, but I'm genuinely confused about what I should do now. The idea of paying a ton of money to potentially be taking online Zoom classes seems like such a waste.

I'm curious what other people's thoughts are who are in similar situations?

Just for transparency, I have been in the work force and out of undergrad for 4 years, so I do have the safe option of just staying at my job. I know it is a different situation for those of you coming straight out of undergrad.

Thanks!

Hi all, I’m considering purchasing the LSAT Prep Plus from LSAC. I was wondering if anyone has any feedback regarding it? Has it helped you? Do you have any criticisms? TIA!

Good Morning Everyone,

I am taking the July LSAT, and I remember in one of the videos JY discussed in a rc passage explanation that you should do a warm up before doing questions. I was wondering if anyone does a warm up routine before the LSAT, and what should it be?

Hope everyone is doing well! Not sure if this has been discussed but I notice certain patterns/trends that are helpful in making a jump from 140 to 150 and I’m curious if any of you could share tips/insights that helped get into the 160’s and more specifically 165+ range. Aside from LG which I believe fool proof is key, study tips for LR and RC that helped with this would would be appreciated!

Should I do a Prep-test throughout studying (i.e. halfway through or 1/3 way through) to gauge my growth and see what I still need to focus on or should I leave them all till I'm finished studying? What are your thoughts?

Hello all! I am looking for a LSAT study buddy, a study group and people to share resources with. I recently started my studying journey. I am aiming for the Oct or Nov LSAT but it all depends on when I feel ready. I am open to Skype, Zoom, text, calls, facetime etc. I am in the eastern time zone.

I was waitlisted at the end of February, and sent a LOCI around late March (it may have been too early since the first seat deposit date was April 15). I expressed why and how eager I am to go there (my first choice) and what I would like to do once I get accepted, including my future plans.

I haven't heard from the school until now and am getting a little anxious about waiting - although I'm supposed to remain calm!!! I have no plan to take an additional LSAT, nor have any changes at work or other soft factors that is significant. I am not so sure of my chances in getting off the waitlist but want to do as much as I can to change the decision...

I am not so sure if the school accepts a second LOCI, but should I still write one? Maybe talk about the professor I would like to work with etc... Or should I just write a short (2-3 sentences) email that just appeals my continued interest? (Cuz I don't want to push them you know...) Or since it's already mid May, is it just too late to take any additional actions?

Thank you in advance!

During my last PT, there was some kind of glitch in my LR section. I was not able to see all of the answer choices and was shown only 3 answer choices for some questions or just 1 answer choice. I tried scrolling up (sometimes the answer choices are long) to see more but that didn't work either. I had to stop my PT and do a timed BR and then actually do BR. I'm not too sure if this has happened to anyone but if so, how did you solve this problem?

Thank you.

Hey all,

Can we think that "confusing a possible solution as the only solution" to be similar to "confusing the sufficient for necessary", or is there another nuanced difference between the two that I'm not quite catching onto?

Are you sure?
