I am now going through the course content for the second time. I wanted to share that when I first attempted this question three months ago, it took me 2 minutes and 16 seconds to get it right. Now, on my second pass, without remembering the answer, I got it right in just 43 seconds. It really does get easier! Stick with the course content and make sure to do a practice test once a week.
I am just solidifying my understanding of some of the terms. It can be hard to remember every single question type thoroughly the first time through. I am also able to see what my strengths and weaknesses are.
When I do these i just say "okay" with each point or reference. I.e "All scientist love to golf" Me: okay, okay.
At the end this nonchalant approach saves me fron getting over invested in the details that do not matter. Such as, scientists who live in (insert complicated name) golf more in the summer because the weather is nicer during that time of year. Me: okay.
I got this question right after one read with this method.
Wondering the same thing. I think its probably worth it just because he goes through the stimulus which can help reinforce knowledge about how to read them. If I get the answer right I usually just listen to that part and move on, unless I had to guess.
I think it's best to practice Blind Review now than later during practice tests. Part of the Blind Review process is to know exactly why you got the answer correct and why you skipped over the other answers. Not only must you eliminate the possibility that you guessed, but you must know why you got it right and why the other answers were wrong. This question was a lower ranking (easier) question, so you might just spend like 2 minutes reviewing. But the habit counts. When you start your practice tests you might spend almost 30 minutes Blind Reviewing just one question. So might as well start now.
I have found it beneficial to listen to him explain the wrong answers because sometimes he gives useful insight into ways that the test will trick you on that question type and comes in handy later on harder questions.
I got it right but then messed up on BR by focusing too much on the word "significantly" and interpreting opposite of "more harm" as "equal or less harm" and not necessarily "less harm". But upon another review, the word "believe" made it so apparent. DO NOT overthink! :(
I think one thing I struggle with is when to stress timing rn I am trying to take my time and break it down like he does but im wondering to myself how will be be able to be so speedy on the test and properly break it down
accept when you have that "confused" feeling mentioned in a prior lesson, and come back to those questions later. The goal is to make sure you give yourself access to all questions you will 100% get correct first.
Timing comes after you master getting all answers correct without being timed (blind review).
Same! Something that helps me is when going through the answer choices is to not stop and try to make sense of them until you have read all answers. If I am going down the line, I may get hung up on trying to justify/explain B. Then i get to D and that is very obviously the answer, but i have already wasted so much time! Hope that helps!
This was hard for me to grasp at first but after reviewing the foundations, i got the last 2 excercises right! However, I took too long in answering these questions. Any tips on how to answer them quicker? For this type of question it is important to read the whole stimulus, understand it and the then parse out the answers cause atleast 3 are very similar (this different form mc/mp where i find it obvious to be only 1 option).
i think for me i usually dont struggle with time but i just make sure to hyperfocus while reading and understand what its saying as in almost picturing exactly what its saying so its like a story im interested in and then when reading the answer choices it makes it much easier to see quickly
Practice, practice, practice. Unfortunately, there is no other way to get faster than just repeatedly doing drills and honing your skills. I still need to work on my accuracy as well! Worry first about getting as many right as possible, do not worry about your speed at all. Once you feel comfortable with getting them right, then try and doing them a bit faster!
@StarBrooks Im also aiming for August and just got here! Slow and steady wins the race, don't worry too much about it and just worry about absorbing the information! People who speed through and don't absorb the info are going to do worse than you even if they got here three months ago :)!
How much should we consider every answer in a testing setting? I saw D pretty immediately, could finish this question in 30 seconds. Is it better to spend time considering other options or use the time gained on harder questions down the line?
I think it is important to take your time in the beginning. Don't stress too much about tie as you are learning so you can focus on reinforcing pattern recognition. As you get further in your study journey and take more practice tests, then I think time is more of a factor and will probably come natural.

I feel so goated when I get these right
me too!!!
Same!
@mofreund that part
Completed this question in 36 seconds and got it right, but then I see the question difficulty being 1 :(
lol me too
@matthewr1126 I definitely feel like this should be at least a level 2.

Thanks for the tips!
Can I ask why you're going through the course content again? Something in me is telling me I will likely do the same...

These are all so easy and suddenly when you do a timed drill it's so difficult :///
sammeeee. I was getting all the MC right, but when it got to timed drills I legit had to do a double take.
I wish I could write on these drill questions. Highlighting is just not enough!
Luckily they give you a sheet of paper to do rough work, as well as being able to write on the exam I believe!
I had to use caveman language, it helps.
Medicine bad, No medicine bad-er

Gov. int bad, No gov. int bad-er yayyy

lol
Ooh, I am definitely going to try this. Thanks so much!
If you get the answer correct, is it worth spending time reviewing the wrong answers? I don't want to confuse myself with too much information #help

I went about it this way ...
medicine:
ethical -> when nonuse would be sig more harmful than its use
gov intervention
justified -> when non-gov intervention would be sig more harmful than intervening (AKA answer D)
hope this helps?

how is this a level 1 question. ive done level 4-5 questions much harder
@DillonDavidesfahani easier***

I feel so behindddd, for the aug LSAT :(....but at least I'm catching on lol
@StarBrooks Hey I’m aiming for the august LSAT too, just go here.
@StarBrooks Im also aiming for August and just got here! Slow and steady wins the race, don't worry too much about it and just worry about absorbing the information! People who speed through and don't absorb the info are going to do worse than you even if they got here three months ago :)!
Just got here too & taking August LSAT :)
Is there a way to write on the question modules like in the video? It would be very helpful when trying to solve! #help #feedback
Anyone else click to submit super fast to see how much time they shaved off? I wish they were two separate buttons.
I got it right but had to re read it twice and was over by 15 seconds ugh
i really dont understand this whole stimulus
@tariksoliman7 it's funky because it's structured strange but basically, if we break it down
context: Gov intervention can have negative effects.
This is just like medicine! (principle)
(what?) Yeah, most medicines have bad and good things, so the ONLY time it's okay to use medicine is if it would be worse to not.
SO, gov intervention is okay ONLY when....
Hope that helps!
If im getting the correct answers, is it harmful to watch the video? Im afraid over-explanation is going to further confuse my instinct. Any advice?
I don't watch the video when I got it right.
Brilliant!

How much should we consider every answer in a testing setting? I saw D pretty immediately, could finish this question in 30 seconds. Is it better to spend time considering other options or use the time gained on harder questions down the line?
I have been wondering this too. I dissected the stimulus but I was pretty certain D was the answer before doing so.

As you get further in your study journey and take more practice tests, then I think time is more of a factor and will probably come natural.
I wish some of these drills were harder, so, when I get it right it would boost my ego lol.
i got it right! :) but was still over the time limit:/ hopefully I improve on that soon :)
got both of these you try q's right! this second one took longer for me to get tho lol
I got it right but it took me a hot minute
YESSS got it right!!!
