@coconutsberries said: Reviewed the mirror passage, but still not sure whether the author agrees with the 1st group of scientist.. The author agrees with the first group and disagrees with the second, as evidenced by two key statements: lines 22-2…

If you have the time, it might be beneficial to take a break from games before delving back in and implementing the great advice from the people above. Right now it looks like you're psyching yourself out of being able to do well, and continuing do…

@tanes256 said: you should BR just as you would for LR. Second that. In addition to looking for the same things you would in an LR question (irrelevant subject matter being discussed, the wrong opinion being given, a shift of wording or strengt…

Do you do blind review (BR) at all? That means that when you take the test you circle the questions you're not sure about. Then you go over them after the test (BEFORE looking at the answers), preferably on a clean, unmarked copy of the test, and t…

@7JRBG180 said: totally agree, it is a pretty unmemorable topic lol. The stim started by mentioning how people/surveys(?) claim that success required something (good luck, I think?) and then argued that this was wrong since success actually requir…

@7JRBG180 said: Just a quick question, since you seemed to have only gotten 2 LRs -- do you remember having a question about success requiring hard work (flaw question, I believe)? Trying to see if that one was experimental or not... Thanks! …

@"midna_twili" said: I had 3 LR so thought I'd add in a few questions that I haven't seen mentioned yet. One talked about aliens communicating with Earth. Another talked about a benefit from eating cereal. The other was about diabetes. I had two L…

@karlxia823 said: 3 LRs here as well. I've gotten a lot of feedback on reddit confirming my suspicion that the following questions were experimental: the question about Mexican stone masks with quartz residue in them and then the question about AI …

@mk940808 said: Can anyone confirm whether the LR section that started with the baby monkeys imitating scientists was real or experimental? Real

@jowens7317 said: Not sure if this question is from the experimental section or not: It was something like a socioculturalist talking about telephones, television, and mass media don't think critically and something about only protection from polit…

@"Dillon A. Wright" it's 63.1.19. I completely forgot to point that out....

I'm in the quick read camp as well. Of course ideally you'd want to work on your timing and moving on strategy to make sure you're not in this situation, but let's assume you're already doing this and asking for the odd occasion when it might still…

So, for a "principle" you need to think the same way you would for a SA question (that's why 7Sage calls them pseudoSA questions). We are looking for the principle that covers/justifies the whole gap (more than the gap is OK, less is not). Unlike …

Interbreed means that they can mate and have viable offspring. The reason I think this question is so hard is that I feel like it relies on people being aware that interbreeding is only possible in species that are genetically similar enough (altho…

This is a very hard question, and the only way I arrived to C was to first eliminate every other answer - fortunately the wrong answers are quite obviously wrong. But why is C right? There are many reasons we might consider deciding whether or not H…

I think JY diagrams it as /Y-->(/LO) Alternatively you can diagram it as /Y-->(/OL), which is the same exact thing, just showing the contrapositive of the embedded conditional. I like having the rule in one place as opposed to separate lines,…
-
I think this comes down to JY's advice to always look how a new rule interacts with existing rules. That's exactly what JY is doing: writing down K(Monday) -->G(Tuesday) and immediately looking how that combines with the other rules. We already…

I think you can say that the phrase about the Greeks is where the author is going with the argument. However, the "meat" of the argument is going to be over the distinction between an individual having the power to decide and a collection of indivi…

Hi, @Mr.lopez - it is never the case that one answer is "more right" than the others. There is always only one right answer, and 4 very wrong answers. This is a general rule that comes in very handy because it changes the way you think about readi…
-
I think it's clarified some things about flawed arguments, so I am now able to better articulate why an argument is flawed, rather than go by "gut feeling". It's also made me a lot more aware of the precise use of words to convey specific meanings,…
-
I would have made the same deduction, and I think "exactly" does mean that there is at least one witness each day. Otherwise why use "to take exactly three days, M, T, W" and not "to be conducted M to W"? In this case fortunately it doesn't matter,…

Congratulations on the 176 average! And I echo the suggestions of others - do whatever you need to do to not freak yourself out before the test. Your knowledge is all there, the mastery is there, the sharpness is there and they'll stay there with …

It's true that we don't know what you specifically are capable of. That's why nobody will say it's impossible to achieve what you're trying to achieve. But based on real life data, it's very unlikely. Only 2% of all the people taking the LSAT get …
-
I would be weary of making generalizations about this being true of every case, or not being true. It is important if it changes the argument in a substantive way (I know that's a wishy washy answer, but it's best to think through each problem rath…

@kmarie7 said: I know the material, I just get too focused on time I guess. Any suggestions? If I could fix that, I would be right where I need to be. You can try and make yourself not look at the watch more than say 4 times in a sect…

Congratulations, and thanks for sharing your story! When people ask if it's possible, we can point them to your post!

I think for a lot of arguments you could probably think of multiple things the author is missing, but the correct answer will only point out one of them. Sufficient assumption questions are the only ones where the correct answer needs to make the a…

I don't think it's similar to WES - WES gives you an actual numeric GPA on a 4.0 scale, so it's a lot more precise than LSAC, but I would venture a guess that if you had a >3.8 on the WES scale you'd be "Superior". I know of one person who's GPA…

You are right to notice the switch from "important" to "most important". That attention to detail will yield dividends in a lot of cases. However, in this case, because people think politicians can't solve "important problems" in general, that inc…
