Hey avenus, could you please tell me the source of these questions? I love CR and am always open to buying new material, even if my GMAT is long behind me.

Yeah, but which company or book? A link to amazon.com would be great

Its not a book. These are notes which were compiled by ScoreTop (now banned). They have similar notes for GMAT called GMAT sets. You frequently get these notes in form of PDFs on file sharing sites.

Why banned? Were these official LSAT questions? If so, we'll have to block them.

I don't know what do you mean by official LSAT questions ? Do you mean ones such as there are in GMAT official guide? Are we not supposed to discuss them here.

You can get answer to your second question by visiting there site:
https://www.scoretop.com/

Ok, I've researched the issue. Avenus, please confirm or infirm the accusation brought to you: are these ScoreTop questions? If it's true, then all the posts will likely be removed. We do not support this kind of behavior!

Well. I was not aware of this.

But I must say that, most of the questions discussed in the Sentence Correction forum are from 1000 SC which was officially produced by ScoreTop.

It is another case that , that documents contains questions from OG and several other sources.

Infact, why do we have this official thread then for 1000 SC:

Avenus, I did not mean to offend you or anything. As I have mentioned, I had doubts about the fact that these could be "banned" questions. It was not I who suggested this anyway, it was madhur_ahuja who did. I don't think i lashed out, as you've said, I just tried to make an observation.

The case I was talking about was the fact that these SC questions could be from that source. But since it's aim-wsc who started that thread, I'm sure he has already researched the question in more depth.

As I have said, thank you for being an active member of the community. As you could tell from my answering of these questions, I really liked them. I do not believe I have offended you in any way (if I did, please tell me where), therefore I don't know if it's fair to make sarcastic comments.
