Hi @Small_victories ! Apologies on the length of my explanation in advance! At first I agreed with your analysis and was going to trump this up to holding this test to too high a standard, but now I see where your reading went wrong! I think you'r…

Hi @Bianca1234, I think the first thing to do is understand the meaning of "most". Lets say we have a room of 100 citizens and they all disapprove of the prime minister's performance, we thus have the scenario described in the stimulus above. Now l…

I'd suggest keeping it light this week and maybe taking sections instead of whole tests, but of course your prep method is a ball that is fully in your court. If anything, I'd review flaws in general. Maybe go back to the cc or read a prep book abo…

@acsimon Admittedly, about half of that went over my head. But what I could gather is scalar implicatures are most relevant to everyday conversations but not very well with the LSAT; especially since we have Must Be Trues and Must Be False's all thr…

@tams2018 your explanation is right on the money!
-
That's really interesting... I sometimes see discussions like this and think talking about the semantics of a phrase is superfluous to answering the question correctly, but now I'm starting to think that dismissing such conversations as unnecessary …

This story made me audibly laugh! I feel your pain, but I know you're going to crush it this month!
-
You're spot on @unclesysy I've never seen this flaw conveyed like this. I looked up the explanation in the SuperPrep book too. The flaw I learned is this: Refuting the opposite of a thing isn't grounds for supporting the thing itself. I know that s…

I like the analysis so far! I think A's interpretation turns on how one reads "actions". I might be wrong, but I saw AC A as not characterizing the conversation accurately in that the statement AC A is ambiguously referring to is Sid's only premise…

I'm reapplying and re-using mine for sure. Besides, maybe someone different from admissions will read your app.

Woah... @"Lucas Carter", how long of doing that did it take before you began knowing what 35 minutes felt like intuitively?
-
Oh, my bad @"Leah M B"! I didn't mean to sound defensive! You're right in that UChicago has that stereotype. I was just commenting on it.
-
I think we've reached a verdict...

Study with someone else if you can.
-
I don't think so, but we can talk about it here in the forums!

I've always thought UChicago was a law & economics powerhouse given people like Eric Posner on staff, but I think a lot of the law schools have that going for them nowadays. I really like the law school building. There are a lot of windows and …

Has the recording been posted anywhere yet?

Thank you, @cqas190517!

I guess diagramming is slow, but what's even slower is trying to do lawgic in your head when you could've just sketched out a quick chain in the margin. There was a specific question in PT85 that I used lawgic for and I know I turned what could've b…

Remember, Frank never reached that conclusion himself. Frank is saying that according to Lance's logic, all general rules have at least one exception. The fact that Lance's argument is a general rule itself, implies that it - the first stimulus - ha…

I agree. Accurately reading referential phrases has helped me tremendously with LR. I don't think it's emphasized enough!
-
"Its" refers to the statement, "...there are paintings that are not works of art and should therefore be ignored...". C says that the argument is made in order to establish the claim that because these two groups of people agree that there are pain…

The main reason this question was difficult for me was because I misunderstood the definition of the word "universality". I thought that universality implied being apart of a vast majority of societies, but that it didn't have to be 100% of societie…
-
I would love to talk about this question with someone! I missed it, and now that I've reviewed it, I know exactly why the wrong answer is wrong, but I'd love to get someone else's input.
-
When you say conditional statement, do you mean in terms of a sufficient and necessary condition? I'm not sure what you were getting at! The point of this question stem is to have us justify the conclusion with a principle. We aren't given justific…

Try slowing your reading down to a snail's pace. Many people think they need to hurry up and get through the words so that they have time, but this test is about nuance, not reading speed.
-
I've used The LSAT Trainer, Powerscore Bibles, 7sage, and actual LSAT test books with the tests in them, and I'll say that 7sage is phenomenal because it's database of resources (the tests themselves plus an extremely responsive forum). There are ot…

@acsimon could not have said it better

25. I spoke with a lawyer and he says that he wished that he worked as something else before going straight to law school. It helps mitigate that "greener grass on the other side" feeling, or that, "what if I worked as this," thought. That doesn't …

I skip when: LR 1. I don't understand the stimulus after the second read 2. I eliminate all answer choices RC 1. I can't find the line reference to affirm (I go with intuition, not necessarily just skip) LG 1. I get to a rule substitution qu…
