2/5, but still proud of myself! As long as you guys can understand why you got the answers incorrect, that is all that matters. Heads up and keep going! :)
@mchavez87 Remember you are learning. We all are. I try not to read too much into the comments where people get everything right. That's their journey.
I feel like the more I study the worse I get. Taking the time to stop and diagram, find the conclusion and premise, trying to distinguish if it is an argument, etc, is making me over think and second guess. Anyone else?
For 7Sage, I feel like these practice questions, even though I am grateful for the practice, are premature since we haven't even gone through the question types, foundation, etc. Just putting it out there. Any way I can leave these Drills for the end, or do I skip them for now?
@Naty I had the same thought at first but after doing the drill and going through the blind review, I think its good to get a taste of actual questions before we get too far with the foundational principles. I will try not to read too much into it if I don't do well on the drills early on. Having actual questions posed and trying (and maybe failing in some cases), to apply what we've learned so far is how I learn best. I took a lot of time to answer these questions and I referred to my notes and really talked through each question with myself. Some of these questions I spent 3-4 minutes working through, I wasn't focusing on getting them right but trying to apply what I've learned so far. I got 4/5 correct (that last one made my brain hurt!), but I was really slow. For me, I think focusing on applying the concepts to actual questions before focusing on speed is going to be the key. Rome wasn't built in a day, as they say! Pretty sure the Romans would have struggled with the LSAT too 😊
@BrittanyDeVito The more you do it, the easier it gets! I felt the same way when I first started. Thought I would never understand, but now it is much better for me!
@BrittanyDeVito It really depends on what works for you! I have ADHD so I struggle a lot with decision fatigue. If I am not understanding something, trying to force myself to actually makes learning less effective for me and I start making mistakes that I normally wouldn't when my brain is at full capacity. I usually skip over drills if I am not understanding the topic, then go back with a rested brain later :)
5/5!!!! going through the tactics actually works so well. I also highlighted premise and underlined conclusion so that it was easier to compare it with the answers!

this is the moment where i realized im cooked
@Samantha_Hofecker Same LMAO
being humbled like this is no joke
1/5, wow, am I over-analyzing or under-analyzing? I don't understand. This is frustrating,
I feel like I have to reread the questions a million times and I still never get it.
What kind of mind torture is this
2/5, but still proud of myself! As long as you guys can understand why you got the answers incorrect, that is all that matters. Heads up and keep going! :)
wow this was humbling
2/5. I started 0/5 , & now I am making improvements.
I know this I'm only on day 2 in the foundational phase, but man is it discouraging to get 1/5. It makes me want to rethink my future lol
@mchavez87 trust i also scored a 1/5. i just keep coming back

@Naty !!!!!!!!!!
@BbbaseddD hi!
I feel like the more I study the worse I get. Taking the time to stop and diagram, find the conclusion and premise, trying to distinguish if it is an argument, etc, is making me over think and second guess. Anyone else?
@Leah77 Same here.
@Leah77 if diagramming is an issue don't even bother. I've seen other lsat prep gurus say don't do it. how are thing for you now?

@JammyCakes thanks! That's a good way to see it. I am too outcome focused I guess.
OMG 4/5 on the first try in so proud of myself! :)
@sydneydarden14 same here! It feels like it's finally getting easier~!
Worst exercise I have taken.
@DJ0819 it's ok we're here to practice right?
When reading some of these questions, I feel like I’m reading another language. I am disappointed with how terrible I am doing.
@BrittanyDeVito The more you do it, the easier it gets! I felt the same way when I first started. Thought I would never understand, but now it is much better for me!
@natrmz Thank you for giving me hope! Do I keep pushing forward to the next lesson, or do I start over until I am acing these drills?
