sigh 0/5 on actual and blind review. I'm putting this here not for sympathy but for future me. I want to look back at the beginning of my journey and see where I started and how I came up. It's only up from here!
Friends - wrong answers = better study plans. Now you know what to work on, so let's work on it. This is where you find your weaknesses - so don't be disappointed when you find them! That's the point of the drill :P
It would be helpful if we were able to blank out questions to do via process of elimination from the start not just in BR. I think. Process of elimination helps me a lot
Something that is helping me is truly understanding each word of both the prompt and the answer choices. If I found myself debating two answer choices, dissecting every word literally helped me find the correct answer and feel confident about it
first time was 2/5, but when i stopped worrying about time and spent the effort to highlight the premises, conclusions, and context i jumped to 5/5. lesson learned, its better to go slow lol
Not going to lie, I got 1/5. Super upset with myself right now, but I haven't been consistent on here because of some recent unfortunate events. So, I choose to just get over it and get back to work. I will not try to do better; I WILL do better. If this message resonates with you- keep going!
I think I need to stop second guessing myself, there were a few that I got wrong... If I had gone with my initial instinct, they would have been correct... lol.
Personal note: understanding what exactly is the conclusion, why and how it's reached (support from premise + possible contextual details needed to understand) helps solidify
Hey y'all! New student here - this is literally my day two. :) A couple questions for any seasoned practicers that comes across this board:
1. At this point, should we be focusing on getting the answers right no matter how long it takes, or should we still be trying to be within the time limit of a regular LSAT?
2. Additionally, is it beneficial to do the blind review every time?
In short... what should our strategy be at this point in our studying?
@jddaph at this point definitely focus on getting the questions right no matter the time, and once you get more comfortable (consistently getting 4/5 or 5/5 on these) you can start practicing with timing. And I like to do the blind review for any question that I'm not 100% confident about, I personally find it really helpful.
Honestly I feel like I just need to thoroughly read the questions and responses better. When I get stuff wrong, it's just because I misread it or didn't fully read the question.
I got a 2/5, the ones I got wrong were ones I initially chose the right answer for and then started overthinking, but I get why I got them wrong at least!
4/5 and im beyond happy w that lol. reading the explanations and talking it out has really helped. now im nervous though because I definitely cant be doing all this when im officially testing

Note that Adaptive Drills are a random set of questions.
They're not hand-picked and they're not designed to test you only on the concepts that you learned in this module.
Treat them as an opportunity to try out a mix of real LR questions that test you on varied skills.

@gladiator same i didn't meet the timing on any of them
@lonliv oh lets not even talk about timing. Mine was horrible but I'm hopeful!
@gladiator You got this
@gladiator You are amazing, just the fact that youre trying is what matters:)
This set of quesitions were... challenging :/
This is discouraging

Am i the only one who struggled hard on these ones?
@morbigoso same with the second and third
4/5 first try. I noticed whenever I take my time and answer the question I get them right.

@AliLazim You can
2/5 for me.. and I struggled on the last set as well. Tell me I'm not alone here.
This was hard.

I am consistently getting 3/5. Bright side is I am consistently getting the "easy" questions right. Good luck everyone!
@SuperCola06 me too :(
@SuperCola06 consistently in the 60% range !! just means that there's room to improve (hopefully lol)

Worse than my last set, 1/5, did not expect this..

@clareboland05 Thank you so much! This is everything I was looking for <3
This was actually very challenging

1/5. I'm not sure why these were so hard for me, but I really was having trouble understanding them.
I got a 2/5, the ones I got wrong were ones I initially chose the right answer for and then started overthinking, but I get why I got them wrong at least!
4/5 and im beyond happy w that lol. reading the explanations and talking it out has really helped. now im nervous though because I definitely cant be doing all this when im officially testing
Getting a 100% after the blind review makes me happy! There is HOPE!
3/5 before BR and 4/5 after BR
