Don't worry I feel the same way. as long as you watch the entire video after on why your process was wrong and understand why the right answer is correct we should be fine.
me three but I re-watch and re-read the explanations until I understand. It's annoying and discouraging but we all have to push through and hustle. Nothing in life is ever easy. If it were, everyone would be doing it.
Unfortunately I thought seldom meant a lot, rather then a little! Frustrating to get a question wrong just because I didn't know the definition of a word.
These types of questions are really pissing me off!! It's literally driving me crazy cuz of how confusing the stimulus is and over that you got to analyze the entire stimulus in under 1 min like how am I supposed to understand and answer in under 1 min? It's so nerve racking. Someone send help LOLLL
Understand the structure of the argument. This specific one gave context, then an opinion/conclusion. Then a list of support. The answers all contradict the reasonings that they gave. B was a little iffy at first so i skipped it but I ended up eliminating all the other answers and that was all that was left. Answer choices A and E contradict reasoning number 3, C and D contradict reasoning 2. The only answer left is B.
Strengtening questions are a lot easier for me than weakening questions. I don't understand why they are giving me such a hard time. Specially these that have "EXCEPT" on them, the LSAT testwriters make the answer choices slightly weakened so it's hard to tell if it weakens it or not. It's almost like if you have to assume that they weaken the argument.
I do believe the LSAT writers are going overboard with these in trying to absolutely fail people. Make questions hard yes but as you said, we should get more time to think the answers more then just 1 min and 30 seconds not have to make assumptions.
I feel like an anti-LSAT writers mindset is quite useless, if anything it probably hinders progress. It's important to understand how thought out each question has to be in order to make it on a real test. It's unlikely that the writers are mistaken in any given circumstance.
Guys. I keep getting down to two answers with these weaken/strengthen questions and then choosing the wrong answer. Sure enough, in my Blind Review I get the 100%. I feel like I am switching the answers for some reason? I don't know if anyone else is experiencing something similar. #frustrated
@EmmaKeane8 It may be helpful to compare all those questions and seeing if there are similarities on the wrong answers during that 50/50. If you identify that you tend to pick an answer that attacks the premises but not the link, for example, then you can make sure to look out for that in the future.

I love arguing with myself and creating random scenarios when I am eliminating answer choices
Same haha. When I see wrong answer choices I'm always like "who said anything about that? Who cares?"
I would like to use this strategy, how do you go about it in your head? LOL
I also hear JY's voice when I do that lol
JY's "ooooooookay?" pops up in my head when i read a wrong answer its extremely helpful lol
Fuck this problem.
I feel that I am getting worse at these, I'm so unmotivated ):

I mean if you just started practicing then that’s ok it obviously takes time to get better. We got this!!!😤👍🏼

Everyone keeps saying you get better through practice but I'm really concerned like you. I don't see myself getting any better.
need to just bart simpson EXCEPT onto a chalkboard a billion times until I finally learn to read the damn word
Wait im cooking...
First "EXCEPT" WSE question I've gotten correct :')
why is this only medium difficult be so fr
What's up with all the science-related questions in the latter part of this section? Anyone else absolutely loathe these? lol
I absolutely hate science questions

Me too, I am getting most the weakening "except" ones wrong but the strengthening are easier.

I think I'm starting to understand! I know the next drill will punch me in the face for saying that
These LSAT writers are crazy... I got the question right, but looking at the time... Sheesh. We have 1 minute and 18 seconds to answer the question.
BFFR!
Takes me a minute to ready bro, I need at least 3 more minutes to find the answer.
@OmarAbuaita Agreed, it's very frustrating.
@OmarAbuaita lmao
I really overthought the fuck outta this question
[This comment was deleted.]
HATE THESE QUESTIONS
I swear
I actually feel so helpless on these questions
If my clown ass narrows a "weakens EXCEPT" problem to 2 final answers and then completely forgets the existence of the word "except" one more time....

I was so certain that the wrong answer was correct, that's concerning
Same

I for sure thought it was D.
