If I'm super confident in my answer and the answer matched my prediction, should I still be reading the rest of the options? I feel like I'm only half reading them when I'm super confident and don't get anything out of it anyway.
I got it right, I narrowed it down to A and D, however I was contemplating D. It just didn't seem as relevant to the argument, but how can I narrow out answers like this because on the LSAT, if I chose D, I don't get partial credit for saying "oh well I had it narrowed down to A or D and chose the wrong one but almost got it right."
How do we know if an answer choice is the best without reading through all the answers? I recognized immediately that A was a great choice, but nonetheless felt compelled to read through the rest of the answers to be safe.
I am also thrown a bit on how to distinguish between which answer "best" supports or refutes an argument, with multiple competing choices.
I was gonna chose A initially but I felt that C was more supportive and the fact that A said in general just made me feel like the wording was not that convincing. Just be falling for these LSAT traps.
I was very stuck between A, D and E. Ultimately had to just guess. I had to outweigh the assumptions, but interested in skills in building skills in understanding the assumptions and finding the best and most sensible ones.
I have gotten the last few wrong when the answers are seemingly answered in the text because of previous lessons. I am confused where the line is between redundant and strengthening. Any help?
#feedback Does that mean a rule is always general? I was looking at the fact the stimulus says "In some jurisdiction" while the correct answer choice says "in general"
what tips does anyone have when trying to study if you feel like you cannot focus on what your am reading. I was taking a prep test today and had to reread questions over and over again till I just took a break and now I am working on these types of questions to still continue learning
whenever I do the "you try" section I do very well. Most of the time I get it right. but when I go to drilling I can' get more than 2/5. why do you think that is? should I just quit now?
I was looking for an answer that included "mandated penalties" (from the first sentence) and "harm" (from the second sentence). Only A and C included both of those objects, and C was too extreme ("unusually great harm" when the stimulus was talking about equal harm), so I went with A.
I don't fully understand what A was saying, but glad I got the answer right anyway...

Got it right originally, second guessed myself in BR. Anyone else have this issue?
The law jargon in these last two question's really through me off. I got them both right in blind review though 😮💨
#help I think I am missing something in the new version - how do you do Blind Review before seeing if you got the answer right?
So, confirming a premise or fact in the stimulus wouldn't strengthen the argument (D)
So here we try to figure out WHY they have the beliefs instead of providing the belief itself?

Lol, usually I am averaging between 2 to 3 minutes on most questions. But I somehow got this one right in 28 seconds.
Got it wrong because it was stated in the stimulus, so it was too easy to be correct. :(

im cooked

got 2 in a row right, =0 what's happening!
My last 2 choices were A and E. I picked E :(
omg I changed it at the last second and originally had it correct.

Did anyone think that the first sentence was the rule?
I chose D because thought that. Ugh
Is this PT64? Or Pt134? The search bar and the question say different things
E was very tempting but I ended up picking A because it was a better fit
uhhh...okay? that's not helpful.
im putting that at the back of my end for wrong answers from this point forward
