Hi guys I have a tip for these questions. Feel free to let me know if it works for you or even if my tip falls short of anything. So after you read the stimulus, identify the conclusion. I like to highlight it if thats your jam too. And then see how the excerpt from the question stem relates to the conclusion.
If you highlight the conclusion and the excerpt is not the conclusion. Congrats. You can cross off every single answer choice that mentions conclusion. Then you will have to decide the excerpts role to the conclusion. Does it go against the conclusion? Does it support the conclusion?
The change in pace from SA and NA questions to these is quite nice. I'm sure these questions too will get intense but stepping away from the world of always needing to dig into arguments to find assumptions is cool
Getting it right before the suggested time :) YOU will improve as you drill! Also would recommend tapping the timer at the start of each question so you cannot see how much time has elapsed, sometimes the timer just haunts you.
Lol June! I’m taking my time going through core curriculum and about to start regularly taking prep tests. Definitely planning to give myself options for fall LSATs too. When are you planning on taking it?
Read the question first, then read the argument, slow down and use POE as you are reading through the answers. BLIND REVIEW. Really test your answer choice, reread and ask yourself does it make sense considering the question stem and type of argument. This is my process and it’s been working so far, I had to slow down because the clock gives me anxiety.
Yeah, I agree to slow down because I would be so confident that the answer I choose is the correct one but when J.Y explains I get frustrated on why I did not see that before. Thank you for the top advice!!
I am not doing good this chapter lolol. NA came easy to me, now this is whooping my ass. I chose B or D, then narrowed it down to B and it was wrong :/

@JeromedoesLSATPREP absolute game changer process here – thank you!!
So glad this set came right after NA so I can pick my confidence back up from the destroyed shambles it recently became

After necessary assumptions this is like easy mode
Ik!!

i felt like NA questions were more intuitive to me and now AP questions are nottt coming as naturally.
so interesting to see what people's strengths and weaknesses are in these comment sections!
When are you taking your LSAT? I always see you in the comments section lol we're kinda in sync with the curriculum.
I’m planning to take it in June also but from core curriculum module to module I know how to feel and gauge if I’m ready

I am crushing this section
SA and NA got me so bad I stopped studying for three days, these are like a breezy summer night
i stopped studying for almost a week and used the powerscore bible to build some of my confidence back up
Legit lol NA completely sapped my soul. These are so nice.
I seriously had a breakdown from SA & NA lessons
Needed this after the NA lessons....
This kind of confused me. I got D but the excerpt seems more like context than a premise - did anyone else think of it this way?
yes!! but then i realised that the second sentence was part of a causal chain and which would being that the excerpt was the premise
@inadsiwel oh this made so much sense thank you
struuuuuggling with this section i fear
Bruh I keep getting them wrong initially, then picking the right one on blind review. Ugh.
Wow I'm being humbled so much in this section.
Brother I am dying.
B was so attractive to me, but it's important to remember that an answer choice that is out of scope from the stim's argument is wrong which B was
Doing stupid mistakes #help

Easy peasy lemon squeezy
AP questions light work (Im cooked if i get a 5/5 difficulty)
wainwater wunoff
@Jandro_47 windustrial wischarge...it's powwution
Hahah dangit I did not finishing reading B and got trapped. Was getting too confident with the easier AP questions but caught it in BR
🙋♀️ stopped reading B after seeing "It is cited as evidence that" lol and then in blind review I was like how did I miss this.
I agree sometimes the details matter they trip you up because you think it's the correct answer when you half-read it
I am not doing good this chapter lolol. NA came easy to me, now this is whooping my ass. I chose B or D, then narrowed it down to B and it was wrong :/
I miss AP always in practice tests but I've gotten all of these right easily I don't understand how that even happens :(
literally same
