I heard that literary devices were not tested on the LSAT and not to worry about high level advanced vocabulary.
However, I was reading a study guide that gave an explanation of author's attitude and tone by way of a literary device for which I had to look up the meaning.
I was not an English or Philosophy major. The high level vocabulary and metaphors are destroying my progress and success. I am able to handle/understand the context cues as per science and legal jargon, but it's the thousands of other words that concern me. Even for words that I thought I was familiar with, the connotations flip and throw me for a loop.
Any suggestions please......?????

The study guide didn't give a preptest number. The solutions state it to be a descriptive tone or attitude of the author"Ivory Tower Theory". I looked up the term and found it to be a metaphor.
I have issues with humanities passages especially the tone and attitude questions.
This whole test seems like a lot of information or TMI, too much information to know, learn and study, the flaws, conditionals, and hidden literary devices. OMG
Thanks for the encouragement.
Suggestions welcome.
It sounds like that particular study guide isn’t the best resource for you. I wasn’t an English or Philosophy major, either… but I haven’t found it to hold me back from doing well on the exam.
To get a better sense of what you mean, what are some of the “literary devices” that the guide references that you’re unfamiliar with?
Thank you. I greatly appreciate your comment.
Focus on the big picture of the passage
