  • Hello, Yes, this is a MBT question, as that question stem is a MBT question stem since it's asking what follows logically from the stimulus, meaning that you can take the information in the stimulus and be able to accurately conclude that the corre…
  • Hello, B weakens the argument because it gives a potential reason why the same training regimen might not be effective anymore. Quincy argues that the training regimen has been used by thousands of physicians, and asks why what has worked in the pa…
  • Hello, A strengthens the argument because it's essentially saying that the more good cases that a prosecutor has, the more productive they will appear. Since A says that computer fraud cases take longer than the average fraud case, answer choice A …
  • @"MoeshaW." said: How do you receive emails from LSAC? I have an account that is connected my to email. I received the email because I was registered for the February 2021 LSAT. Are you registered for the January, February, or April 2021 LSA…
  • @jericha1 said: Do we have the option to go in and take the LSAT normally? Or is LSAT Flex for everyone until further notice? LSAT-Flex is mandatory in the United States until further notice.
  • @miriaml7 said: I really appreciate you taking the time to write this! @SSBM1000 However, I am struggling to understand "D." So in the stimulus, we are being told that Joan's friends do not like the smell of Aurora as much as the smell of oth…
  • Hello, A is incorrect because Professor Jameson is one of the foremost experts in the physiology of smell. While the argument uses his status to show that Joan and her friend's sense of smell is defective, it's still possible for Joan's friends to …
  • Hello, Regarding why D and E are wrong, D is wrong because we don't need medication to always be more effective in treating mental disorders, we just need it to be the only effective remedy for mental disorders resulting from chemical imbalances. E…
  • Hello, Your second sentence about how it's only what's valued and doesn't give a resolution is correct. You can't assume that the percentage of ambidextrous people increased because C doesn't state that or give any reason to think it did. That woul…
  • Hello, B is wrong because it says that there is enough glass recycled each year to supply all the major soft drink bottlers with enough materials to make a large percentage of their glass bottles, but this isn't necessary. What if there is only eno…
  • Hello, I'm not sure I can help with translating the sentence, but you're correct with your second line of reasoning regarding the flaw. The stimulus says that a plentiful supply of good things to eat and drink will ensure a successful dinner party,…
  • Hello, A is correct because we are trying to find the answer choice M can't make an argument for with the information they presented now that Q has presented their argument. Since Q says that children back during the period when the people M refere…
  • Hello, The different uses of "selfish" stem from the fact that the first use of the word "selfish" refers to only caring about oneself, phrased as "selfish individualism", while the second use of the word "selfish" refers to helping others to bene…
  • Hello, Answer choice C is correct because we don't know the proportion of the population who have used cocaine. For all we know, only 10 people in the entire population have used cocaine, so we can't assume that the majority of those who test posit…
  • @qwerty1234 said: That question is different because the stimulus already included the phrase "if the stats are correct," so it wouldn't be merely affirming a premise to say "the stats are correct." I can't remember my question but it was…
  • Warning! Don't read any more if you don't want a question from a 36+ preptest spoiled! Here's a link to a sufficient assumption question with the statistic being correct as the correct answer choice. https://7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-36-sec…
  • I strongly recommend finishing the CC before preptesting. You need an understanding of the fundamentals, and you'll be wasting valuable preptests if you take them without a basic understanding of how to tackle the questions properly.
  • Hello, This is complicated because it's heavily based on language. Since this question asked what could be a complete and accurate list of the stops the falafel truck vists, that suggests it's just one instance since it's asking what could be corre…
  • Hello, B is correct because it provides an alternative explanation to what happened. The argument says that based on the information, the florist must have made a mistake. B reveals that there is an alternative possibility, in that some people migh…
  • Hello, B is correct because it points to the fact that the conservation of bald eagles is necessary to ensure the survival of obscure species. Since the entire stimulus is focused on explaining the importance bald eagles serve in fostering sympathy…
  • Hello, E is correct because the stimulus states that most consumers believe that both big and small businesses provide consumers with fairly priced goods and services, but that big businesses are only viewed as socially responsible in times of pros…
  • @legalstateofmind said: @SSBM1000 thanks for replying! Here’s the link to the discussion: https://www.manhattanprep.com/lsat/forums/q21-two-doctrines-have-been-greatly-t2249.html I was mainly confused by ManhattanPrepLSAT1’s explan…
  • Hello, As far as I'm concerned, the stimulus doesn't state that the second doctrine only takes into account psychological perspectives, just that it primarily focuses on it. It definitely appears to be open-ended like the first doctrine is. If poss…
  • @Darklord said: Forgive me for not quite understanding @SSBM1000 , but how exactly can we assume anything about the people who supported the candidate from the information given in A about the people who believed the accusations? No worries.…
  • Hello, A is correct because it says that almost all the people who believe that he is guilty of the ethics violations thought he was a poor mayor. In other words, almost all the people who supported him both before and after the accusations don't b…
  • Hello, D is incorrect because it's ultimately irrelevant to the argument. Whether or not a company treats fines as an ordinary business expense doesn't change the fact that the company is still paying more in those fines than they would for the cos…
  • Hello, A is correct because it supports the idea that the hunting ban has led to the increase in the deer population. With just the stimulus on its own, we have no way of knowing if the deer population wouldn't have increased if hunting was still l…
  • Hello, I highly recommend finishing the Core Curriculum before doing any prep tests 36 and up. You need to have an understanding of the fundamentals before you start these tests, and you won't be able to properly identify what your weak spots for c…
  • Hello, You're correct regarding your logic for D. As for C, the issue is that just because other factors would determine a Pterodactyl's color doesn't mean that it would turn pink. For all we know, these other factors could cause it to turn into ot…
  • Hello, C is incorrect due to the fact that just because experts disagree with the Mayor's definition of a top priority emergency, that doesn't mean that the redefinition was what caused the reduction in turnaround times. For all we know, the expert…
