@TheMikey Hahahahaha! absolutely hilarious.

@therealnas (A) does not weaken the argument in the parallel, nor in the original. The argument states that the jellyfish uses confusion as a method of escape. It doesn't state that it confuses the sharks to think they are electric fish. I don't kno…
-
@akistotle I am with you. (B) does not help us based on the information in the stimulus. Maybe there is some other factor that affects the likelihood of cats dying. Answer choice (B) also requires the assumption that there's a link between cats bein…
-
The wording of (A) is not great, if I'm being honest. (A) makes sense. Maybe they are not as light-footed because they do not get chased by dogs like the cats. (B) Yes, but so what? Maybe cats most commonly die because of osteoporosis haha. (C) S…

@LSATcantwin It is natural to feel afraid. Our brains register the LSAT as a threat, and hence we become susceptible to fearful thoughts. It's easier said than done, but don't be afraid. What's that PT gonna throw at you that you haven't seen this…

@zmeeker91 congratulations!! It should be an amazing feeling. What did you do different on LR and RC?
-
@"Alex Divine" thank you, man! And I actually didn't haha. My cognitive faculties were not at peak today. I think I'm getting a cold haha.
-
@TheMikey thanks!!! I am having troubling processing it haha. I did Game 1, 2, and 4, respectively, before I did 3, which gave me 15 minutes to figure it out with little pressure.

@nathanieljschwartz I just took this test yesterday, so I think my reflection is kind of good on it still. I thought the LR sections were pretty standard. The RC had probably one tough passage (well at least I thought it was tough). I think it was t…

I was thinking that they may have done it for standardization purposes.

I just spoke to a person at LSAC, and she said, "the 180 is no longer allowed because of the start/stop function." Do you guys have an idea as to why that's a bad thing?
-
@imharris The key to scoring 174 and above is mastering the logic of the exam, and having an effective approach that you can execute fluidly on every section of the exam. The skills to solving the questions on the test must become second nature to y…

Thank you thank you guys!!!!!!
-
Can you elaborate on your mistakes? What do you consider a "stupid" mistake? And when you narrow your answer choices down to two, why do you think you're selecting the incorrect one?
-
The way I got to a consistent -0 is over time. I used to have to do a logic game almost everyday to stay consistent. However, now repetition is no longer important. With time and the right method, logic games become second nature. If you keep at it,…

If I was to encounter such a statement on a test, I would just keep them separate without the "or". That's just my personal preference though. So I'd just write the following: P ----> /C K ---> /C. However, If P or K, then /C would also do…
-
@d931n027h Can you elaborate on your question because your original statement did not have an inclusive or. Neither P nor K are cute translates as the following in English: P is not cute And K is not cute. Maybe I'm missing something, so tell me mor…
-
The entities should remain separate for the following reason: P+K ----> /C indicates that they are not cute when combined. But the original statement said that neither P nor K are cute, which means each entity on its own is not cute. In your exam…

It depends on the context. Advanced causal statements can be probabilistic, partial, or multipilistic in nature.

@"sharon.kashani14 What was your diagnostic LSAT if you have already done one and don't mind sharing that with me?
-
@anonclsstudent you're right only if the language is definitive. This is beyond the point because I never denied the truth of the proposition when it is definitive.
-
@anonclsstudent Mhmm okay
-
@dcdcdcdcdc The definition of "or" in the exclusive arena does not mean at least one because at least one denotes that you could have more than one. In the exclusive or arena, the definition of the "or" is at most one. However, this is beyond the po…
-
And btw, if you painstakingly look at the logic games section of the LSAT, you'll notice that LSAC, more often than not, states that "one of A or B is selected, but not both" in this manner to eliminate the confusion of the exclusive or, where the o…
-
@dcdcdcdcdc Yes, stating that one is selected is necessary to eliminate the "/A/B" option. "You can have milk or juice, but not both" is not the same thing as "One of milk or juice is selected, but not both." The former leaves the possibility of n…
-
@Euthyphro your post is correct if you assume that one of the elements in the "not both" MUST be selected. The initial thread did not state that. It said "A or B, but not both." Your biconditional would be the case if it would have said, "One of A o…
-
@"cynthia.wu82" Yes, they are the same thing. @"nessa.k13.0" correct me if I am wrong, but I believe you're confusing an exclusive or for an inclusive one. The diagram you provided in your response to this thread is a representation of an inclusive …

@"Dillon A. Wright" Well put sir.

@Thoughtful it is not the number of hours you spend studying that matters, it is how well you utilize your study time that does (i.e. how proper your study methods are).

@ashley_k2204 You are an LSAT rockstar!! Very impressive. Same goes to you @zkchrumz.
