  • "How are you concluding that the assumption here is that the only reason Billy rides his bike is for exercise, and NOT that biking is the only form of exercise that Billy does????" Neither of those assumptions are made: "X probably did Y for Z" doe…
  • Say I see a person riding a bicycle. Say I conclude the person is probably riding the bicycle for exercise. (B) Then you weaken my argument by saying that the only means of transportation that person has is that bicycle. Thus I can't neatly conclud…

  • Ignorance is not bliss.
  • SA: A. Regardless of what the premises state, every unknown unknown which is known is actually a known unknown which is unknown. SA: B. Any thing we do not understand and do not know of that we become aware of is truly only a thing we are aware of…
  • You don't want to lose significant time cancelling out wrong answers on a question you've already gotten correct but feel tentative about. That would be the best way to increase your confidence in your choices, ruling out the wrong options, but RC u…
  • A furthers the connection between Han Purple and the Common Type of White Glass. The premises tell us that the first connection is ingredients and the second is similar production methods. A gives us a third connection--location. A doesn't just coun…

    in Old PT? Comment by Sophumbra March 13
  • Generally people advise saving very most of the more recent exams (70s-90s) for the final months as your exam approaches and using the first 50 exams for drills/full PTs earlier on. At minimum don't drill content from the most recent 10 exams and sa…
  • LSAT writers are very good at verbal trickery. They deliberately add or subtract modifiers in certain spots and sometimes one small modifier, one singular word, is the only reason a given answer choice isn't the correct answer. Watching JY in explan…

  • First off, it is unfair to yourself to contemplate concluding you are not cut out for the LSAT/this path merely based on such a small sample size/instance. August is a while from now and it sounds as though you've already made significant progress b…
  • For MSS questions, take the stimulus slow and ensure comprehension. The argument, premises, the conclusion--for MSS, all of these are TRUE. The correct answer choice must be found by process of elimination, skip pre-phrasing and let the correct AC f…
