really trying to get to a point where i don't have to guess and i can fully reason a question and decision (ideally it isn't the wrong one). peeling back the tape on this one felt really really good.
I think I have a problem. Whenever I try questions, I have the habit of looking at the score to see if I got it right or not. If I get it right, then I watch videos and move on, but if I don’t get it right, then I blind review after knowing I got it wrong and what I chose. When I do the blind review, I almost always get it right. I think this is unhealthy. Does anyone have any advice on this? Thanks.
@5a_san I personally always check the score before blind reviewing to save myself time. Often times I find myself getting it right in the blind review because I don't feel the time constraint and actually give myself the ability to sit down and really mull over each answer choice carefully. I don't necessarily see a problem with this approach as I still feel myself improving.
@JessM Maybe I am doing this wrong, but right now I am not focusing on timing at all for these questions. Instead I am focusing on really understanding the stimulus and deciding on an answer that I am 100% sure is correct. If I'm not sure, I don't move on. As I do this, my times are naturally coming down, but this drill I was over anywhere from 4 seconds to 50 seconds, but I knew I got 5/5 before checking my results.
@5a_san I BR every time (without looking at the score), but focus only on the questions that are circled in red. They can be circled in red either because I got it wrong or because I spent too much time on that question.
Having that doubt about whether I actually got it wrong or not forces me to think about the stim a little deeper than if I had known for sure I got it wrong already, in which case I would probably just choose the other answer choice that I was close to picking originally.
If nothing is circled in red, then yay, I did well, I move on, unless there is a question that really stumped me that I'd like to hear the explanation for.
I also try to answer as fast as I can on the orignal question/drill, like I would on a practice LSAT, because I believe that's the only way I can get my brain to reason the same way it will when actually taking the LSAT. BR is an opportunity to actually really take my time with these questions.
3/5 then 5/5 BR . I dont know how to stop second guessing my answers. If i had just listened to my intuition i would have gotten 5/5 the first time ugh
I got a 4/5 (80%) did the blind review and it said i had 3 questions wrong to now see I got 4 right and changed the 3 blind review questions and then got those wrong because i was already correct ...
@JoshuaFedrick If a question gets marked for blind review, it's either because you got it wrong, took too long answering, changed your answer too many times, or all 3 haha. It's odd ngl.

easier question type compared to the former ones
4/5
5/5 LFGGG
All you gotta do is read the stimulus and understand it completely and ur 90% of the way there.
@NixonAnderson and understand the questions too!
5/5 LESGOOOO
@Communist_Saul_Goodman hi saul goodman you're my idol
is 4/5 good?
we take those.
Okay so I got them all right but damn, I feel like I have to process these way slower than other QT's
5/5. WOOHOO
My first 5/5 on a drill I could cry
@RealAlHorford Mine as well! over the moon and over time
3/5 ughhhhhhh I need coffee.
i shouldn't be better at necessary assumptions than i am at these bru
On the you try ones I was always tossed between 2 and would get it wrong. Then I moved onto the drill and got 5/5 first try. IT DOES GET BETTER
@PowerUp_Tutoring NICE JOB DUDE!

@JaymeBlazek i don't think there's a wrong way to do it as long as you see improvement!

first drill in a while I have got most of them correct, 4/5 let's get it!!
Does the LSAT refer to actual studies? I feel like I keep learning kinda cool tidbits. I liked the baby babbling thing
@brodypringle I can't say for all of them, but every scientific fact mentioned in LSAT questions that I have looked up turned out to be real!
burger 5/5
5/5 lfg!
5/5 finally
This is literally the first 5/5 I've ever gotten on the drills I've done so far for the various question types! Finallyyy
5/5 we got this!
