This is great initiative, thanks.

Sajjad1994 · Answer

I can assure the passage would be of decent quality, way better than a few notable third party content.

Do I have to post detailed explanations to be considered eligible for even the last prize?

Just asking because I see that 5 people have attempted these passages and the total prizes are 5, since I only want the 3 month forum quiz prize, so If I were to beat just one of them and get the fifth rank, I would win the last prize.

I have kept the RC section at the end of my preparation; after I am done with SC, CR, PS and DS. So I don't wanna waste time attempting these questions if I were not to be considered eligible for the last prize.

So that's why I am asking. Thanks

Sajjad1994 · Answer

This is the first day so anything is early to say at the moment. To be eligible for a prize a participant needs to explain at least 5 passages completely. Its up to you whether you take one passage each day or both the passage for two days and one on the other day.

PS: I have clearly mentioned in the master thread that the number of prizes may be increases or decreases based on the level of participation from the members.

PS: Reply posted by you  here  doesn't meet the criteria of an explanation. An explanation must explain something and here it is an RC passage.

I hope I answer your question.

Good luck!

0Lucky0 · Answer

Yea, a few minutes before you replied, I updated my question to ask about that.

Well, as there are only 5 people who are attempting these questions and the prizes are also 5; would the criteria for eligibility be loosened a little for the last prize?

Just asking because I have done almost zero practice on RC so I can't possibly post detailed explanations.

The only way I could possibly participate in this is if I were to be allowed to post with a small explanation.

Meaning that the prizes would be reduced? or increased? ie, If there were 6 people participating, then would the prizes be increased to 6? Is that what you mean?

Thanks

Is it possible to activate the edit option after we submit our answer explanation. By mistake I submitted the explanation after attempting only 2 questions.
Alternatively, we may be allowed to submit the answer explanations in continuation to first post.

PS - My new learning is to be careful before submitting the answers

Elite097 · Answer

Sajjad1994  will you be posting official explanations? Even if you dont plan to, can you please?

Sajjad1994 · Answer

You are allowed to post your answer is continuation only up to 7 am Pacific or 8:30 pm IST. After that the OAs get revealed and no explanation will be accepted.

Sajjad1994 · Answer

According to historical data, we have at average 12-15 participant in each competition and there had been 5 prizes. Hence if the participant remains 5 or 6 the number of prizes will decrease. If you are not read for competition yet you can keep practicing using our newly posted Official LSAT questions under RC butler 2023.

Cheers

0Lucky0 · Answer

Aah, I see. So you mean to say that 33% of the participants get the prizes.

So if the participants remain at 6, only 2 would get the prizes? Right? Yea, I would almost certainly be eliminated so thanks for letting me know.

PS: In the passage that I did attempt--which you said wouldn't count--I got almost all the answers right.

$!vakumar.m · Answer

Somehow, I was not able to post my explanation for the third question of the first passage. I got a message that only one post is allowed though I had attempted to post the explanation yesterday at around 2200hrs IST.

Sajjad1994 · Answer

It is because of Competition mode probably. Please post your explanations before 7 am pacific and in one go.
