You don't know if it is continuing to decrease today. You know that it has decreased, however because the stimulus says so. Thus, the situation we have is: Cheaper price of surgery-->More people getting the surgery-->Higher costs overall. How …
I don't know how it'll be like in August once the digital centers open, but as of now with ProctorU once you log in on the day of the test you'll see a countdown on your session. When it becomes your time to begin the exam, you'll see the "start ses…
The rule only makes it such that, in all possible situations, one of F or G must be in Y. What about the one that remains? It's free to do whatever it wants because you've satisified that rule. Let's say F is assigned to Y and there are no other rul…
Those are sentiments I'm sure almost everyone would agree with. While sentiments are good, they should be tempered by reason. You're right that anything is possible. But keep in mind that getting a 180 is a different beast than attaining pretty much…
I'll say that anytime you get more than 10 wrong on LR, irrespective of whether you had a "bad day" or whatever, means you have holes in your fundamentals because that means you're getting questions that are 3 stars and under wrong. Ideally, any que…
You're looking for something along the lines of "Permission-->/Plagiarism." A gets the relationship reversed by saying "/Permission-->/Rights," where "rights" is the equivalent of "/plagiarism."
Because of the order of the conditional, "act responsibly-->must do x," you can never conclude that someone acted responsibly. When you don't know what is sufficient to conclude "act responsibly," how can you conclude that someone acted responsib…
As Clemens_ noted above, this is a proportion vs. absolute, and it shows up from time to time. Without doing any number crunching try to understand it this way: the overall increased. A subset we don't have any idea what proportion of the overall it…
The skeptic essentially says that odd behaviors in dogs are constantly happening and thus there is bound to be a case where that odd behavior occurs just before an earthquake. What needs to be clarified is what it means to behave oddly. If there is …
What "satisfied" means is irrelevant. You can replace it with any other word, for example "rejoicing" or "giddy," and the problem with the argument doesn't change. Imagine this: somebody just told you that we have to abandon a certain proposal. To s…
I want to ask how much do you think this "burnout" is actual burnout from studying or from feeling discouraged? If it is the former, taking a break can be very beneficial. Step away from studying completely. Give your brain a chance to rest. I think…
There could be some accuracy in scores provided there's a sufficient absence of memory regarding the material on the test. However, I'd say it's almost never the case that you forget absolutely everything from a previous test. There are going to be …
The answer lies in the wording in the question. "Could be all the solos" doesn't have to mean "all." For situations where you do need all the pieces, it's very clearly stated in the question.
First of all make sure to know the common flaws and the various ways the test can present them to you. For me specifically, what really helped was to learn how to step away from the details of the argument to see what the various elements at play ar…
Based on what I've learned tutoring SAT Reading, I've found that people who struggle with RC typically fall into two camps: you have poor comprehension, or you have poor test taking skills. "Oh, but that's the SATs and that's way easier than the LSA…
@pksmith22 @jubal.stephen Yoooo I didn't know you could reschedule so I just checked ProctorU and there were so many time slots available. I managed to reschedule to 7pm. Thank you so much!
To put it simply, you're attributing qualities of the whole to one individual. Just because the seven-member panel that resolved the Amlec dispute was both reasonable and fair, does that mean that every member of the panel will do the same?
The biggest issue here is that we're dealing with probabilities. Just because one thing is likely to happen because of something doesn't mean you can run the contrapositive back on that. For example:
If you kill someone, it's likely you're going t…
What I've heard from others is that if you can afford to, spending more time preparing for the LSAT to achieve a higher score will more than offset the inevitable delay you're going to face. And the more common advice I've heard is to take the test …
Thank you for your response. That makes a lot of sense. It seems I was too in my head about how if the simplification of tax filing eased compliance led to increased compliance it would somehow be a factor in determining the rank because that would …
When you take your test on 7sage, look at the top just below "Take PrepTest." Select the book looking thing third from the left and click on "standard." That should simulate what the actual LSAT looks like. All the options available for notation are…
Thank you for the detailed response @KevinLuminateLSAT. If you could further spare some time to answer a couple more questions, I'd be very grateful.
1) Unless directly specified, shouldn't we always assume that a particular claim about a group doe…
@KevinLuminateLSAT
Wow I have no idea how you can read those two statements in any other way. I wonder if I've been so conditioned by "the only" that my biases preclude other interpretations.
@dzxu88
Here's my take regarding your point about the…
You're overthinking it. This is a sufficient assumption question. All you need to do is provide an assumption that guarantees that the conclusion works. In many cases, yes, the sufficient assumption can be too strong. But, as long as it bridges the …
So this is one of those questions where you're directly going after the conclusion, which is something that's usually discouraged. However, it's acceptable in this instance because our main goal is to answer the question. To do that, you need to pic…
