Stated or Implied on LSAT
Took the third section of my second practice test, went 23 for 27, which seems to be about my upper limit on these things. On the bright side, I finished with enough time leftover to go back and look at a couple answers I didn't have much confidence in. I changed one from correct to incorrect, and the other from incorrect to correct, so I guess finishing early doesn't get me anywhere.
I'm not real crazy about these LSAT story problems with questions based on what's "stated or implied" in the reading. I thought the whole point of contract law was to get away from implied obligations and get it all down in black and white, but that's probably another misconception on my part. The easiest type of questions in this type of section for me are the ones that ask something specific about line X. The ones that give me the most trouble are the ones that ask the best expression of one of the players views about another player, or what view a player would be likely to hold about a subject. At least when I sat down and checked my answers I could accept that the wrong ones were in fact wrong, unlike the previous section. Still, I think the grading mechanism should take my implied score into account when stating my actual score. I'm willing to supply plenty of hints.
The formulation of the questions about what X thinks about Y's opinion of Z remind me of the old comedy skit (or maybe it was serious) with: "The party of the first party alleges that the party of the second party did party with the party of the third party at the expense of the party of the first party without making the party of the first party party to the party...
