Delayed checkpoint: unfamiliar questions

Return after a study gap for different questions; keep this first attempt separate from earlier practice.

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

Reserve this checkpoint until after completing the course and taking a study gap, for example one week. The app does not enforce a waiting period. Record initial answers and confidence before submitting. Review errors by task, evidence, scope and reasoning step; a small sample cannot certify mastery. Treat later attempts at these same questions as review, not new assessment evidence. No result converts to an LSAT scaled score.

2. Practice

Each member of a negotiating team is authorized to approve a minor change alone. The director concludes that the team is authorized to approve the entire package of major changes. Which criticism most accurately identifies the unsupported step?

• The director mistakes evidence that a change is popular for evidence that it is authorized.
• The director assumes no team member can act alone.
• The argument denies that a team can have powers its members lack.
• The argument infers lack of authority from a lack of objections.
• Authority over individual minor changes is extended to a materially different collective decision.

3. Practice

Every accepted report has either independent replication or a disclosed methodological limitation. Report R has no independent replication. Therefore, if R is accepted, it has a disclosed limitation. Which argument has the most similar valid structure?

• Every admitted visitor has a pass or escort. Jo has an escort, so Jo is admitted.
• Every admitted visitor has a pass. Jo is not admitted, so Jo has no pass.
• Some admitted visitors have escorts. Jo is admitted, so Jo has an escort.
• Every escorted visitor is admitted. Jo has no escort, so Jo is not admitted.
• Every admitted visitor has a pass or an escort. Jo has no pass. If Jo is admitted, Jo has an escort.

4. Practice

A consultant says expanding a successful apprenticeship from a large shipyard to small workshops will work equally well because both train mechanics. Which difference most undermines the analogy?

• The workshops were established more recently than the shipyard.
• The workshops repair a narrower range of machines.
• The shipyard calls its trainees apprentices, while some workshops call them assistants.
• The shipyard has more customers in total.
• The shipyard rotates apprentices among specialist mentors, while each workshop has only one mechanic who cannot leave production.

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.
