Law School Discussion

 Chlorofluorocarbons are the best possible solvents to have in car engines for cleaning the electronic sensors in modern automobile ignition systems. These solvents have contributed significantly to automakers' ability to meet legally mandated emission standards. Now automakers will have to phase out the use of chloroflurocarbons at the same time the emission standards are becoming more stringent.

In under the circumstances described above cars continue to meet emission standards, which one of the following is the most strongly supported inference?

D) The solvents developed to replace chloroflurocarbons in car engines will be only marginally less effective than the chloroflurocarbons themselves.

E) Something other than the cleansers for electronic ignition sensors will make a relatively greater contribution to meeting emission standards than at present.

Why is E correct? There is no guarantee that 'something other than the cleansers will play a larger role' if we assume that another type (other than chloroflurocarbons) of cleanser would replace this. I though both D and E are not enough to be proven by what was said in the stimulus. Help! 

 For those of you who took the LSAT after you graduated from college, how did you manage to get the recommendations?
If I take a year of just to study for this exam, will schools still require recommendations from college professors? Also, are recommendations really important? I decided to postpone the LSAT because I was unable to take the TM course this summer and this is giving me numerous problems. 

Why are there so many negative comments about lawyers and gonig to law school? I am just curious because I can hardly find anyone who says medicine or being a doctor is that bad. I mean, med students study longer than law students and possibly get more debt once they graduate. It also makes me confused because I dont think medicine is any easier than law and they also get similar stress during their residency years. Is law school more difficult than med school? If not, then why are there so many negative conversations about how the first year of law school is going to kick your behind. I also did not personally meet any attorneys who are poor. Many of them seemed to be pretty wealthy. So are there really that many poor lawyers? Just cruious and wanna listen to your thoughts. Thanks! 

I am stuck at 150's forever!! I am very comfortable with logics and the concepts I learned through the Bibles. The other day, I began to think that maybe my reading and comprehension skills are not there yet. I often cannot understand some of the difficultly worded passages and stimulus. This causes me to reread the contents over and over again and significantly wastes my time and consequently makes me lose my focus. I decided that having a solid reading comprehension skills is crucial for me to score higher on this test. Do you think reading lots of books with difficultly worded passages and abstract ideas (such as philosophical textbooks and essays) can help me obtain the necessary reading skills to score high on the LSAT? If anyone could give me some constructive advice on this, I would be really thankful.     

 Everybody knows that finding a conclusion is a MUST for getting correct answers in LR sections (I also do, of course). While I am very well aware of the importance of this 'understanding the strcture of the argument' process, I tend to miss conclusions. Maybe this should be a natural process and I actually do find conclusions without much thinking for some problems. My problem is that when the stimulus gets longer and has numerous details, I tend to get so confused that I end up not understanding (or only having vague understanding) of the structure of the argument. I also noticed that it is sometimes my vocab problems, as I do not understand few words (those SAT words appear in LSAT from time to time!). I am not saying my English is horrible, as I can read and understand 90% of the materials. I am just very frustrated when a word I dont know clearly appears in stimulus or one of the answer choices and confuse me. Did this happen to you guys? Or maybe I should study SAT vocab list again! lol
