does anyone else feel like the time expectations are unrealistic? i feel like i have to skim the stim and the questions rather than properly read them if i want to meet the time restraints...this question was super easy and once i read the right answer i chose it barely glancing at the other options and still was 11 seconds over...anyone else feeling like this?
#feedback I feel like these easier questions should be placed at the front of the lesson so the relationship between stimulus and correct answers becomes apparent from early on. Personally I know I would have benefited from this.
Chat, I noticed that the questions have a difficulty rating 1-5. This one being a 1, so easiest tier. I am assuming the LSAT will also be designed like this following the same measurement for questions like this one. But do we know many of each difficulty level we will face? Also it says game difficulty level 3/5 dots. Does anyone understand the second difficulty indicator>
Anyone else get suuuper irked by this question? The answer D DOES work by order of elimination....but who says your rate of speed (or lack of speed) necessarily has to do with congestion?? To me, the stimulus says nothing about rate of speed. You could be packed like sardines on a highway (congested in my mind) but everyones still going 100mph...
Sometimes the easiest ones make me second-guess the answers...envious of those who crushed this one in 30 seconds...y'all rule!
I don’t think I have ever chosen an answer this fast and being correct. Before I read the answer choices I was already looking for these answer. It would be awesome that all questions would have been this easy because I have been struggling with these section.
up to this point i have not gotten a single one from this ENTIRE section correct should i be concerned ( keep in mind i have absolutely no idea how to do MSS) EITHER
The only thing that tripped me up about this one was the fact that the answer I chose (which was correct but I wavered lol) didn't have information that was presented in the stimulus.
As soon as I read D, I knew it was the right answer but took a little longer to answer because it was a little suspicious that I spotted the answer right away. I need to be more confident when it comes to the answer I'm choosing. That definitely stresses me out.
I picked B and when I read it I noticed that it was talking about highways that have the highest rate of fatal accidents, rather than lowest fatal accident rates but the way I thought about it was kind of in the inverse of what the stim is saying.
For example:
overcrowded --> low fatal accident rate
less crowded --> high fatal accident rate
In my mind, it makes sense for someone to have the ability to drive faster on the highway if there are less cars in the way crowding up space, therefore, if traffic is moderate it increases the likelihood that someone is driving a faster speed and would get into a fatal accident.
I also understand here that driving faster is a key caveat here, but I really really think having the SPACE to actually speed makes a difference here too.
That to say, I got this wrong but I only did not pick D because I thought it was a trick coming off of the last lesson. :((
Isn't the correct answer in effect doing what JY warns against doing with regard to answer choice B, i.e., assuming it's a linear relationship? #help

here the assumption is that one cannot travel fast on a congested road.
I don't even care that this question was obnoxiously easy. I needed that.
Answered in 38 seconds and STILL slower than the target time. You couldn't let me have this one?

Could someone please explain, in a less visual way, what about B makes it incorrect?
I was able to distinguish it from the correct answer, but I don't trust "gut feeling" as a strategy for the LSAT
Difficulty level...first bubble shaded only...a win is a win.
I can’t believe it took me only 30 seconds to find the right answer. I wish I would understand the rest of the questions like this.

I don't know why the word "serious" in AC (D) had me suspicious.
got this right but it was so easy that i felt there was a trap in this answer some how lol
This question is the perfect example of reading the stem carefully or you will lose easy points. I read "lowest" for highest. Ughhhh
If I had gotten this wrong, I would probably switch to studying for the MCAT
if i had gotten this wrong, i woulda told my parents that the lsat and law school wasn't for me
