Just went through my wrong answers and those are the worst for me. It’s just so hard to answer bc it’s less objective!

I promise it's still objective. The LSAC has to be able to say "C is the only credited answer because the passage says. . . " You should expect that the right answer WILL have a reference in the passage that tells you why. They may not spell it out for you with a neon sign, but it's there. Do you have an example of one you think is not objective? It may not be direct, explicit, or handed to you on a platter, but it's absolutely objective!
@julielamberth That's a good mindset to remember. Maybe something like this? pt146.s4.p3.q16. it makes sense now, but i just feel like you have to know which parts of the passage to connect, which makes it much harder, especially on a first pass/ if the topic is complicated.
@ktacklesthelsat Yes, you do have to know where to look, that's the key task. Most questions have clues in the question stem to tell you where to go back and research - a highlighted line, a paragraph number, or a reference to a specific topic. This one doesn't, but you can take each answer choice and quickly evaluate whether its too extreme, etc, and where it would be if it's the answer. A question like this that doesn't clearly clue in the question stem or the language of the a/c directly is honestly a small minority. Don't fixate on this one; most of them do give you some direction. But once you find it, it's clearly objective that this would logically follow - first sentence of paragraph 3. If they didn't regard them as redundant, they probably wouldn't have replaced them.
@ktacklesthelsat
Also start with the a/c that talks about tokens or clay as most likely to be correct. Several of these are so broad that they're unlikely to be supportable with the info here.
@julielamberth I'll look into these techniques!
Also wondering if the 7sage tutors have advice for studying these after having completed all the drill ones for implied
