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

All proposals reviewed this morning were submitted electronically. Some proposals submitted electronically were returned for revision. No proposal returned for revision has yet been approved. Which conclusion must be true?

Some proposals reviewed this morning were returned for revision.
No proposal reviewed this morning has been approved.
Every proposal not yet approved was returned for revision.
All electronic proposals were reviewed this morning.
Some electronically submitted proposals have not yet been approved.

3. Practice

Mira: A public database should release reliable measurements even before every interpretation is settled. Oren: Until interpretations are settled, releasing those measurements risks misleading readers and should be postponed. The speakers disagree about whether:

Reliable measurements are preferable to unreliable ones.
Readers can misunderstand public data.
Interpretation can ever become settled.
A database should publish measurements known to be false.
Unsettled interpretation is sufficient reason to postpone release of reliable measurements.

4. Practice

A fund's rule permits reimbursement only for expenses necessary to complete an approved project. It explicitly excludes personal conveniences. An investigator requests reimbursement for a required permit and for a hotel upgrade that merely made the stay more comfortable. Which decision best conforms to the stated rule?

Pay both because both expenses arose during the same trip.
Pay neither because permits are issued by outside organizations.
Pay the upgrade if it costs less than the permit.
Pay the permit regardless of whether the project was approved.
Exclude the upgrade; consider the permit under the necessity and approval conditions.

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.
