I took the LSAT on Saturday. Pretty awful experience all-around, but it’s a necessary evil for anyone who wants to go to law school. So for those of you still thinking about it, here are a few questions you might find on an LSAT.

1. Wu, Xu, Yang, and Zhang are 4 Wharton students preparing for exams in Marketing, Finance, Statistics, and Accounting (but not necessarily in that order). Each student is preparing for exactly one exam. They have reserved 4 consecutive half-hour timeslots in the same Huntsman study room.

Wu studies for Finance during the second time slot.

Xu and Yang study earlier than the student preparing for Marketing.

Accounting and Finance are studied for back-to-back, though not necessarily in that order.

How many arrangements are possible?

A) 1

B) 2

C) 3

D) 4

2. Giant Douche: I’m on Locust Walk handing out fliers for the Oz party tonight, but only to the hottest girls I see. I also just bought a gram of cocaine from a guy named Ty-Ty behind McDonald’s. So I’m definitely going to snort coke off someone’s naked body tonight, since that’s what I do at any party where there’s cocaine and a hot girl.

Which of the following, if true, allows the argument’s conclusion to be properly drawn?

A) Oz brothers sometimes snort cocaine off each other’s naked bodies.

B) Ty-Ty actually sells flour to Penn students.

C) You’re a giant douche if you only flier to hot girls.

D) At least one hot girl shows up to any party that fliers only to hot girls.

3. Food Critic: Anyone who thinks that food quality is always the primary indicator of sales at food carts is mistaken. Kim’s, for example, outsells Yue Kee only because of its longer hours of operations. Similarly, Bui’s outsells Steak Queen only because Ms. Bui is really friendly and attractive.

What is the main point of the argument?
A) Food quality is not sufficient to determine sales.

B) Asians make better cheesesteaks than do third-generation Italian-Americans.

C) Variables like hours of operation and service are sometimes the primary indicator of sales.

D) Mr. Bui is a lucky guy.
