using the actual tools we have while reading the passage on the test (highlighting, underline, etc.) what do people suggest doing to physically mark where one perspective ends and another starts, like Kevin suggests here?
Assuming we can't just draw directly on the passage with our mouse
legitimacy of allowing custom-made medical illustrations in court is a debate that is ongoing and there's misinformation.
(3) identify different perspectives
opponents of its usage argue that most injuries are generic and so can just be represented using generic illustrations... but they say they can see how MI is valuable for unusual injuries.
The fact that the LSAT is taken on a computer and not on paper is so brutal. I would give anything to be able to write my 2 word low res summary in the margins. It would make everything so much easier.
I agree. When Kevin says to make an internal page break, in my head I'm like howwww?! The material is so heavy that I would confuse the hell out of myself trying to recall who said what. I wonder if we can highlight on the lsat?
yea I'm kinda confused as to the technique used and taught since we cant actually utilize this technique on the computer. does anyone have any ideas other than the highlighters?
P1: Debate. Except for exceptional/unusual injuries, generic injuries just need generic diagrams.
P2: Next opinion. Custom-made drawings of injuries are biased and unreliable.
P3: Counterpoint to P2. When drawing an injury, pro medical illustrators include only components of injury necessary for a judge or jury to make a decision.
P4: Second counterpoint to P2. Medical illustrations are based on scans, X-rays, etc. and explain some things (e.g. complex terminology and anatomy) in a simpler way than words can.

It's slightly long and I may have missed some stuff but it's my first try actually doing it so I'm satisfied.
I thought that the way it says 'is surrounded by ongoing debate and misinformation' caused me to think that the author does have an opinion on this. Obviously we do not know yet, but adding the misinformation after debate caused me to feel that they likely do not have a neutral view.. maybe this is a stretch but just something I noticed.
I think that's fair -- the author is saying there's some kind of misinformation involved. But the author's neutral in that the author doesn't actually take a side yet. Who's doing the misinformation? We don't know.

@epayne17 Some people like to highlight just the first word of a paragraph or new part within a pargaraph.
Some like to jot notes on their paper: "P1: xyz"
For the vast majority this is just a mental exercise. They make a mental summary of each paragraph or part of a paragraph.
This was so funny
how do we know which section/ preptest is this from? I want to print it out so i can practice
(1) predict the Passage Style
Debate/Critique - spotlight
(2) make a low-resolution summary
legitimacy of allowing custom-made medical illustrations in court is a debate that is ongoing and there's misinformation.
(3) identify different perspectives
opponents of its usage argue that most injuries are generic and so can just be represented using generic illustrations... but they say they can see how MI is valuable for unusual injuries.
(4) predict the direction of the next paragraph.
present another opposing argument.
I would like to see test-taking tips on how to properly annotate the text and create low-res summaries that fit within LawHub test tools.

yes you can! you are given 3 coloured highlighting options and one under lining feature.

@MaryamChadegani in another video he comments that you should be able to eventually be able to do this in your head.
@MaryamChadegani We're allocated 6 pages of scratch paper.
this is how I find out invaluable means VALUABLE.
MY FINGER IS SPECIAL KEVIN
It would be cool to have a little notebook to pop open and jot down our low res summaries before moving on.
My low res summary for this question:

Rewrite of P2: "Next opinion. Custom-made drawings of injuries can’t be biased and unreliable as expert opinion needed for admissibility."
I just figured out why my index finger hurts...
Invaluable means valuable...

I love this curriculum so much! It makes understanding reading comprehension so much better and enjoyable.
I really like how these videos are split up by paragraph, because it makes it a lot less daunting. #feedback

So basically the first minute of this video describes our Presidential debates :)
