I think your confusion with this question stems from misinterpreting the first three sentences. First sentence presents a problem. Second sentence tries to explain the reason for problem, but note it is an ascription- "it has been said..." (a.k.a. h…

I'm wondering what you think is best moving forward.
I think you sound very frustrating. LSAT is really nothing much in the grand scheme of things. Going to law school is not an end in itself. Life is so much more than just an …
It really depends on how much you care about your GPA, the rigorousness of your program, and whether you'd okay with the possibility of delaying one year for law school. If you are always straight A and you are in a top tier school,from my personal …
@Pacifico @c.janson35 , I got it! Just figured out by answering the same question for another poster. The correct answer is an example of strengthening causal arguments with correlation.
Staying active on the forum is actually helpful!! =D
@jac376 said:
Flaw: The correlation of Ra, C, and (C --> Rh) does not mean there is a causation from C to Ra. The answer which strengthens this argument will show that (Rh --> Ra) (C causes Ra because it causes Rh which causes Ra) or directly…
@Pacifico thank you for getting back! Your explanation and example have helped me to think about this issue more.

If (A) had said most bacterial "not resistant to heavy-metal" are "not resistant to antibiotics." Then it seem to be more relevant to strengthening the correlation. I would still be hesitant to interpret this as strengthening since it is not strictl…
OP review the Valid Argument Form 4 in the "Some and Most Relationships." The inference (B) in this Q is very clear. (D) is reversal of the first sentence.
If A causes B, A always lead B. If you don't see B, then you don't see A. Situations such as A causes B in one scenario but not the other entail there being joint factors causing B. For example, Eating a lot --cause--> overweight
and Eating a lo…

Could anyone give me some help? According to the lessons, it seems that "A causes B" = A-->B. However, in PT25-S4-Q12, this rule does not seem to work.
I believe the flaw for this question is not applying contrapositive to a …

1. Effective laws need enforcement mechanisms
2. There is no international police force
______________________________
International law is not effective law
Guess was editing when you wrote this. Mine was a bit repetitive.
I wrote the arg break down because (E) should be a fairly quick answer to pick since it is the only one that has "international police force" occurring as the necessary or its negation as sufficient. Remember we want to get from premise to the concl…
@brna0714 , I just used 7 sage. I believe using shapes/underline/sub-notations to distinguish items occurred in a few logic game videos, though they were never specifically emphasized.
I did this game by 1) splitting the game board into two possible worlds based on whether Q is third; 2) distinguishing the items by placing them into circle, square, and triangle. For every question, I tested the two worlds. Total spent around 12 mi…
Correlation can be non-linear. It merely means there is a relationship between X variables. In the case of X = 2: if you plot one set of variables on the x axis and another on the y, you get to see a pattern instead of scattered points. I think it i…
Note the difference between contrapositive and negation. @nicole.hopkins is talking about contrapositive and @"Jordan McMahon" is talking about negation. Contrapositive is saying the same relationship in a different way and negation is saying the op…
How do I upgrade? I bought the course a while ago and I am not sure which version of package I have bought. I recently resumed studying and saw locked blue lesson. I went to Extensions and Addons to see if I can upgrade, but I only saw "Extend acce…
If the argument had said "most BRICK houses on river street with front yards also have two stories," the argument will be valid. The argument starts with information about brick houses: they have front yards. Then, the argument discusses houses with…

Hi,
I am also looking for a people to take PTs together on Saturday or/and Sunday, preferably at UBC. I am pretty efficient self-studying, so I am not looking for people to go over exams together. However, I think it would be tremendously helpful…
I had same problem when I tried to upgrade using the Safari on iPad. I would suggest try to upgrade on a different tool (phone, computer, iPad, etc). Once I have paid for the course, I had no problem accessing the materials on iPad, iPhone, or Mac.
