Have you ever felt that you did not get a good score on the LSAT?
LSAT Question of the Day:
Several years ago, most of one country's large banks failed and were taken over by a government agency. The agency is now selling these banks, aiming to strengthen the banking system in the process. But the banking system will not be strengthened if the former owners of these banks buy them back. So the agency is unlikely to achieve its goal, since __________ .
The conclusion of the argument is properly drawn if which one of the following completes the passage?
Answer Choices:
- the agency may be unable to sell some of the banks
- a single company could buy more than one of the banks
- the country's overall economy is not much stronger than it was when the large banks failed
- the banks sold by the agency will be financially weaker than the country's other banks for some time
- all of the bidders for the banks are their former owners

LSAT Question of the Day:
John of Worcester, an English monk, recorded the sighting, on December 8, 1128, of two unusually large sunspots. Five days later a brilliant aurora borealis (northern lights) was observed in southern Korea. Sunspot activity is typically followed by the appearance of an aurora borealis, after a span of time that averages five days. Thus, the Korean sighting helps to confirm John of Worcester's sighting.
Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
Answer Choices:
- A) An aurora borealis can sometimes occur even when there has been no significant sunspot activity in the previous week.
- B) Chinese sources recorded the sighting of sunspots more than 1000 years before John of Worcester did.
- C)Only heavy sunspot activity could have resulted in an aurora borealis viewable at a latitude as low as that of Korea.
- D)Because it is impossible to view sunspots with the naked eye under typical daylight conditions, the sighting recorded by John of Worcester would have taken place under unusual weather conditions such as fog or thin clouds.
- E) John of Worcester's account included a drawing of the sunspots, which could be the earliest illustration of sunspot activity.

Bar Question of the Day:
While Junior is out trapping in the Alaskan forest, his neighbor Franco trespasses onto Junior’s land and cuts down 500 of Junior’s corn stalks, which Franco’s wife will use to make corn bread for the county fair. Franco takes 250 of the stalks home and leaves the remaining stalks next to Junior’s barn. Franco plans to come back later at night to pick up the rest. Junior comes home and finds the 250 stalks and is baffled. He moves them onto his flatbed trailer and places a tarp over them. When Franco returns to Junior’s property later that night, he learns that the stalks were moved from the area where he left them next to the barn. He spends a half hour looking for them and finally finds them on Junior’s trailer. He takes off the tarp and brings the stalks home. Junior reviews his video surveillance system and observes Franco cutting down the stalks and his subsequent actions. He contacts the police, who charge Franco with larceny of 500 stalks. Franco objects to the charges. Has Franco committed larceny?
Answer Choices:
- A) Yes. He is guilty of larceny of 500 stalks
- B) No. He has not committed larceny, only trespass.
- C) Yes. He is guilty of larceny.
- D) No. He is guilty of common law conversion.
