Perhaps trying a top-down approach in which we reorganize the structure of the argument from the conclusion down will prove more helpful.
Conclusion (sentence 3): Widespread effort for more restrictive air pollution controls are unlikely.
At this…

Way to kick ass Logician! This was very insightful/helpful. The untimed sections followed by decreasing time increments seems to be the exercise/solution I have been looking for. Thanks again for the insight and best of luck …
I do want to chime in here and say that while improving memorization can, and i'm sure will, help to a certain extent, RC is not testing rote memorization. It emphasizes and rewards structural understanding, your ability to make reasonable assumptio…
By using the term minimum, the question is asking you to reduce the number of law firm salaries (of the partners) to the smallest number. we know that every different position in the sequence is a different salary.
For example. can they all make th…
There is a slight difference, but I would say it's negligible. So I'd definitely treat them the same. The main point is synonymous with the conclusion; a conclusion is just a claim you are trying to prove via the support from the premises. In other…
Personally, I don’t think it’s too late. I think it would be reasonable to assume that if you got the consulting package now, you could have everything done come thanksgiving time- which is still considered a solid time to apply.
@canihazJD already pretty much covered everything. So I’ll just add a more general outlook. When doing your written analysis, you want to make sure that you haven’t looked at the correct answer yet (Sorry to be redundant, but you’d be surprised). Yo…
All the arguments in strengthen/weaken questions are invalid arguments. Remember, on the LSAT, you cannot directly attack the premises, you have to accept them as true. If these questions contained valid arguments, you wouldn’t be able to do anythin…
Well the good news is that you definitely don't have to draw out the logic for sufficient assumption questions. However, what you'll notice (especially when you really master conditional logic) is that it's really easy to write it out, and that most…
You can also check out the comments section. A lot of people have given in depth explanations to most questions out there, so make sure to utilize that resource too!
Another thing to ease your mind, if you're scoring in the range of your first 3 PT's it would be almost impossible to luck into a 165. People who are familiar with the LSAT know this. So don't worry, just write an addendum as you were advised above.…
Good question! In terms of the LSAT, the longer you study and the more you improve the better you'll get at determining what constitutes a "reasonable" assumption. In a sense it is a skill that you fine tune. With that said, there are also simple me…
I’ll also chime in here in regards to retaking the LSAT. The only plausible scenario in which you retake a 170+ score is if you are extremely confident you will do better, and I don’t mean one or two points better. This decision should be based on e…
Those fluctuations are completely normal. Each test is not equal, some may play more to your strengths while others, to your weaknesses. On top of it, unless your superhuman, your mental performance on each and every test will also not be equal. You…
Sure thing! @Alice003
I did not have a traditional 9-5 throughout the entirety of my studying, but when I did I would usually study in the evenings during the weekdays and then use the entire weekend to take a PT and BR. It definitely required a l…
