Typo in a PT? Forum

Ever run into a PT with a typo? The one I have, PT 33 LG Section 4, says: "which of the following MOST be true". I can't imagine that being anything but a typo. Maybe yours is different. I printed this off of Kaplan for what it's worth. I was just wondering if you guys ever had this happen.

There's no typo in the real PT. I just checked.

For whatever reason, Kaplan's PTs have a lot of typos in them. And it's not limited to typos. In one LG section, I remember a question that asked for something that MUST be true, and I swore that none of the things had to be true. Turns out, the real PT had it as a "could be true" question.

Wow, that's weird. How could Kaplan mess that up? Seems almost intentional to me.

I'm confused, if the original didn't have a typo, why did Kaplans? Did they re-type it manually or something?

That's what it looks like.

Guys, Kaplan's material is littered with grammatical, spelling, and logical flaws. How many times have you found issues with their logic game problems? I, myself, have found a few mistakes in their AC's (Kaplan 180). It killed my mentality, when I first started prepping. Rather than assuming that the answers had to be correct for the questions, I was looking for flaws in their logic (not a good approach to the LSAT). I'm glad that I'm not the only one~

Here's what happens:

LSAC provides the PTs in a certain format to prep companies. In order to make them editable, those files have to go through a conversion program. Sometimes, the conversion program messes the text up a bit (choking on a word, changing an 'm' into 'rn', messing up a carriage return). You catch some, others get through.
