Entry checkpoint: first-look questions

Try this optional sample before the lessons; use mistakes to choose a starting point.

Paper packet. Every task here also exists on screen, where it is checked automatically; answers written on paper are not assessed by Nydus. When you are back at a device, enter your answers there.

1. What you will learn

Use this optional checkpoint before reading worked examples. It samples only a few skills and does not decide placement. Record your initial answer and confidence before submitting; use feedback to choose lessons to study. Treat later attempts at these same questions as review, not new assessment evidence. No result converts to an LSAT scaled score.

2. Practice

A ferry operator predicts that replacing paper tickets with a phone application will shorten boarding time. Scanning a phone takes less time than inspecting a paper ticket. Which assumption is required by this reasoning?

Every passenger already owns a compatible phone.
Paper tickets are the largest operating expense.
No passenger prefers paper tickets.
Every boarding delay is caused by ticket inspection.
Delays introduced by the application will not completely offset the scanning-time savings.

3. Practice

All devices certified by the Meridian laboratory pass a heat test. Device K passed that test. An engineer concludes that K is eligible for installation. Which added premise makes the conclusion follow?

Every certified device is eligible for installation.
Only devices eligible for installation pass a vibration test.
All eligible devices pass the heat test.
Some devices that pass the heat test are certified.
Every device that passes the heat test is eligible for installation.

4. Practice

Most of the donated volumes are annotated. Every annotated volume requires individual cataloguing. Therefore some donated volumes require individual cataloguing. Which statement accurately assesses the inference?

It requires assuming every donated volume is annotated.
It requires assuming only annotated volumes need individual cataloguing.
It reverses the cataloguing rule.
It establishes that most individually catalogued volumes were donated.
It follows because a majority of the donated volumes are among those requiring individual cataloguing.

5. What you can do now

Keep a record of the first attempt, the error explanation and the lesson to revisit. Repeated questions are review rather than fresh evidence.
