About how many Assumption questions are in the most recent LSAT tests?

Just wondering :-)

I just used the "num expected" in the analytics section if you want more precise numbers, but it looks like between 9-12 assumption types would be expected

A LOT

I remember thinking that on the Septembe 2017 and December 2017 exams - it felt like there were assumptions everywhere!

this makes me want to cry; it's by far my achilles heel in LR and I was hoping maybe there were only a couple.

If you think about it, most argument questions are really assumption questions at their core. For the most part, strengthen and weaken questions require you to identify an assumption (read: gap) in the argument and find an answer choice that exploits that assumption in a specific way. Same goes for Justify the Principle questions. And Flaws are just really bad assumptions. This is the paradigm that Manhattan LR preaches.
