The correct answer is E.3|ink wrote:I'm stuck between D and E.KevinP wrote:Which one of the following is an error of reasoning exhibited by the poster?

B) African Americans are also liked by LSAC.
C) TLS is completely unrepresentative of test cancellations in general.
D) The LSAT is biased against minorities.
E) Minorities are biased against the LSAT.
But in all reality - LSAT bullshit aside.
Is it normal to have this many TLS posters cancelling? I made no representation that tls users are a population that is representative of LSAT takers as a whole.

Re: A lot of cancellations
It's funny though. Could it be possible that those who would score higher than a lot of others are the ones who cancel? Someone who was lax in their study wouldn't cancel. It's people who worked their butts off and didn't perform to the best of their ability and actually care.

Re: A lot of cancellations
If you take the contrapositive you will see that D is clearly a mistaken negation, thus E is correct.3|ink wrote:I'm stuck between D and E.KevinP wrote:Which one of the following is an error of reasoning exhibited by the poster?

I wish my dice read "URM" when it was rolled. I wouldn't mind a leg up on a similar candidate, with the same qualifications, for something beyond my control tbh.tazmolover wrote:People here love affirmative action.IAFG wrote:things TLSers hate:

Re: A lot of cancellations
I'm pissed too. My highest consistent PT score was 174, so I was shooting for a 171-172 to account for test day nerves. I would be extremely surprised if I break 170, but I could be underestimating myself. I've been studying for four months and have spent something like $200 on study materials, so if I don't break 170 I'll probably shoot myself in the foot.Bruins101 wrote:That's how I am feeling.

that's why I am so confused and pissed off at myself and the situation.
The thing is, I don't know for sure that I screwed anything up, I just think I screwed up the artifacts game. I might have, I might not have. There were too many hypos to check and I didn't have the time.

Let's keep on track here.
