Can someone explain the LR2 principle application question about the library books? It felt like the Cops one all over again.

ETA: in 71

That Q was bs I don't want to revisit too much at the moment but I glanced at the manhattan forum n it said sumthin bout how A didn't say overdue just that he had some out

Edit: I assumed u chose A maybe not if u didn't my mostly not useful is totally irrelevant

I had bad flashbacks to the cops question when I hit this one. In B, some of Kessler's overdue books (at least one - the novel) aren't children's books and he has been fined for overdue books before. This satisfies the sufficient condition. What did you select?

Also, having two LG sections back-to-back, then break, then an LG section (as a result of two LG experimentals) was pretty brutal.

ETA: while we're on the topic, any help on LR2 Q23 (doctors and malpractice) and Q20 (psychic abilities)?

That stupid psychic Q really pissed me off 2 there were sum good trap answers on the second LR apparently (I chose A, again maybe you didn't) but the answer is not A bc the conclusion is not general only about friends and family and I mean the obvs if the conclusion isn't general then the flaw is overvaluing a trait (telepathy) and hence B gets at that flaw

[BillPackets]

Also I didn't think the Qs to the mirrors passage were too bad I was 100% positive on all except 27 which I missed but idk I thot the passage was obvs dense but in the Qs I kinda felt like I was having a rainman moment and just blew thru them until 27

[BillPackets]

Tbh I just royally f'ed up LR2 on 71 and it just blew my f'ing score out of the water so yeah bill mad

[unodostres]

Yea I went with A. Narrowed it down to A and B, which both seemed like accurate answers. Went with A because it seemed like that was most likely LSAT critique. You're right though, he's only saying that it's *possible* so it wouldn't matter whether the sample was small.

ya wtf was the mirrors even saying

[BillPackets]

Speaking of circling answers that reminds me of the scantron I did lg n RC after each game and passage and LR I did the whole section then went back and filled it in I think that could b risky tho since ya know what if on d day I get down 2 the wire n have none filled in that would suck

[ilikebaseball]

Stop answering questions when the 30 second warning is given and just bubble.

Speaking of the lsat I hate it and probably won't get into law school.

That was an f'ing pretty tough Q IMHO I was like u had it between B and A and confidently chose A then just got slapped in the face when I graded it was like whoa

[BillPackets]

Was the right answer the one that was like "THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY OTHER BETTER EXPLANATIONS?

Also re: mirrors - the questions were not terrible but the passage was like "WHOA MAN MIRRORS HOW DO THEY WORK???"

YES GREY THAT WAS THE RIGHT ANSWER

and yes re: mirrors I WAS LIKE K IM NOT BOUT 2 TRY N UNDERSTAND THIS JUST GONNA TRY AND GET THE GIST

I mean I usually finish LR around the 31 or 32 mark so if I'm still workin w 30 seconds left sumthin is not right and if I still have to bubble everything in I might just sweat myself into oblivion

[BJS]

In LR1 I thought Q12 (Rocky Mountains) and Q15 (Vitamins) were difficult and outside the norms of LR, although I got both right.

hahahah sorry about the ALL CAPS I'm just feeling a lot of feelings right now.

And yes I picked the right one for the psychic question but I was looking at it like "why are you being so rude, LSAC? This language feels very harsh!"

Yeah idk that second LR idk I'm just very upset by it very hurt on a deep level also re the ice cream Q yeah that one was kinda weird also the PF q on the first LR #14 I think was kinda weird
