S2E10: Inferences II, Accommodating Brain Injuries, & Applying Too Early

Today's episode is Part II of our Inference lesson. We recommend starting with S2E9 before beginning this episode.

In today's episode, Shana and Trudel return to discuss the complexities of inference questions and go step-by-step through two inference practice questions. They also bust a myth about accommodations for students who suffer from Post Concussion Syndrome, and another myth about applying as early as possible for law school (without first securing a good LSAT score). 

Practice Questions: 

1. Modest amounts of studying can produce a dramatic improvement in your LSAT score. One should study most days of the week, but one need only do the equivalent of 45 minutes of untimed test questions to obtain studying benefits. More vigorous studying is more effective, but long study sessions are not absolutely necessary.

Which one of the following is most strongly supported by the statements above?

A. Having a long study session most days of the week can produce a dramatic improvement in your LSAT score

B. Doing the equivalent of an hour of untimed test questions two or three days a week generally produces dramatic improvements in LSAT scores.

C. It is possible to obtain at least as great an improvement in an LSAT score from doing the equivalent of 45 minutes of untimed test prep most days of the week as from having lengthier study sessions most days of the week.

D. Aside from studying, there is no way to improve your LSAT score.

E. To obtain a dramatic improvement in one’s LSAT score, one must study vigorously through lengthy study sessions at least occasionally

2. Cheerleading coach: Compared to many other gymnastic sports, cheerleading is highly risky. Failing to communicate with your spotters as a flyer often leads to poor falls, loss of points, or even injuries. Such communication failure is very likely to occur when young cheerleaders try to emulate the high tosses of more experienced flyers.

Which one of the following is most strongly supported by the statements above?

A. Experienced flyers are unlikely to fall, loose style points, or experience injury from communication failures.

B. To reduce the risk of falls and injuries, young cheerleaders should avoid trying to emulate the high tosses of more experienced flyers.

C. Young cheerleaders will not experience falls or have any injuries if they avoid trying to match the high tosses of more experienced flyers.

D. Cheerleading is more risky than other gymnastic sports that do not involve high tosses.

E. Most young cheerleaders fall and experience injuries from trying to emulate the high tosses of more experienced cheerleaders.
