To me the difference between B and C came down to the emphasis in the answer choices:
B states that future innovation would depend on "the outcome of various current research projects, including that conducted by B and H". And that is not the focus…
Firstly, good catch on >.5 and .5 as they will often exploit that kind of language, however, here were told "for despite its ability to neutralize stomach acids"---suggests that this is continuous function of the chemical. Yes, it will continuous…
I actually have the same problem---give me a tough science passage or a verbose humanities one and I'm all set. However, for me it comes down to preference of subject matter--science and basically anything in humanities is great; Econ is the worst …
As someone for whom RC is their worst section I feel ya. I think I agree with the commenter above. If you are getting -15 on a section, what is your distribution of wrong answers? Are you trying to do all four passages in allotted time? I think if t…
Ok I kind of see where you are going with this but I think in your scenario if a "better suited job" opens up (as you say) the current job of arts commissioner would no longer be "suited" to this other individual because they actually have a prefere…
We are told that the report's authors concede that yes, the critique is valid and that ultimately they should focus on creating a coherent vision. But we're also told that for them to be functional they need government funding and in order to procur…
I think this is a classic case of absence of evidence is not evidence of absence--Smith's argument challenges precisely that (E). C is not correct because Smith does not say that the evidence is not accurate (they concede that yes tools were found 1…

Woah, I was in the late 40s for PTs averaging and was pretty consistently in the 163-168 range and just took PT 83 as a more recent one and got a 157. Granted I made a few silly mistakes, especially in the Logic Game secti…
I would say this with regards to A and B:
A is the NA in this argument, and it's actually once that pops up pretty often on the LSAT, so once you get used to it, it becomes pretty obvious to note elsewhere. You say yourself that it is "restating" t…
The conclusion tells us that because businesses care about profits they will do this other thing--install safeguards. But does this conclusion need to follow? What if I told you that businesses were 100% confident they would not be responsible for a…

I actually have another question I asked on the forum today; it's about another question. Would you be able to answer it too?
Sure, although I can't promise it will be helpful.
I'll throw my two cents in.
1 We are given a conditional statement as a premise (if traveled to and from then would've eaten sea food), however, this being a conditional statement we are not supposed to take it as a fact that has actually occurred…
The way I read C is "you are entitled to withhold information to at most the same or a lesser rate than lying" which doesn't do anything for this argument because it's this weird comparative statement---to what extent are you allowed to lie on the a…

Not sure why we are bringing real world into our analysis. We are to accept the premises as true.
You're absolutely right that it's irrelevant for the purpose of answering the question itself, but I felt like Ashley2018 wa…

...that wasn't my question.
my question was why would the government help out the nuclear power plants with financial liability? seems to me the …
In Lesson 11 Question 2 we have a series of statements about someone else's conclusions, not an argument. The breakdown of the stim is something like this:
1st sentence--general statement about methodology.
2nd--a hypothesis
3rd---conclusion #1

I'm not sure I can say anything that you probably haven't read before but I could definitely walk you through one NA question that you are having trouble with or haven't done yet. But in general, NA is something that MUST be true given the argument.…

70s and 80s are definitely more recent. I also consider 52 and up "modern" LSATs because they have comparative passages, so I'd use those for full PTs. Anything below 52 I'd categorize as older (but still highly valuable)…
@Frenchy said:
Many think that the PT's in the 80's are most representative of the current tests, which I completely agree with. I used tests from 1-40 as foundational work then everything from 40-May '20 I have been using for PT'ing. Best adv…

@Byono12345 All three sections are equally weak... Seems like I have to focus equally on all three really.

@cubsfanwcg I have a feeling that unless you have accommodations that grant you this you will not be allowed to use any kind of ear "wear"--you are literally told to remove any large jewelry and show your ears to the webcam so they can see there is …
As someone who is in a similar position (albeit my hours are less traditional), I would say if you're not in a rush to apply to law school in the immediate future (say you are willing to wait out at least another cycle) then studying for two hours a…
