@meepmeep As you do more practice you will get better at it, im in the same boat rn, but as I've been practicing throughout the drill I've been doing better. Also making sure to summarize concisely is really important.
@unknown That's because the video is explaining the meaning of the different statements. In a timed situation all that time would be cut out, because we'd just be thinking those thoughts rather than speaking them out, so it'd take a lot less time.
I love the humor on these lessons kevin is great. I deadass laughed out loud when he said "maybe you insulted him on not knowing the difference between ness and stuff conditions. Great stuff keep it up kev
I've found that focusing on finding the author's A.R.E. [A - argument; R - reasoning; and E - evidence] is helpful in single-position passages. Since you don't have to focus on other perspectives, you can just focus solely on the author's opinion. Its also helpful to assign one out of the three highlighter colors to highlight each of the three categories when going through the passage the first time.
if its simple, i do it in my head. if there are alot of points in a paragraph, i find it best to write it down then keep it in my head. it's all about what effective for me. most of the time, its mental. but if its too complex, i write it down.
How is the sentence "there is no point in revealing xyz" not considered an authors opinion/perspective? Whose opinion is that? Can someone pls explain? #help
It's not a specific perspective/opinion of the author. I think it's more a "common sense" thing. Why would you reveal something that would damage your case if there is almost no chance the opponent would bring it up?
A great example of stealing thunder is Eminem at the very end of 8 Mile- stole the thunder from his opponent by rapping about himself which left his opponent speechless lol
Don't know if anyone else thinks this, but I would appreciate most of these lecture content to stay within the earlier PTs. I would rather not use these up for drills/practices and not be able to complete the recent PTs in timed conditions. These lectures are great though, thanks for the upload! #feedback
I agree! I'm not sure why we can't use old questions for drills and lessons that were part of the old curriculum, now that we're doing the new curriculum.
Under the new 3-digit PT format, a whole swath of PTs are no longer included under LSAC's license (PT1 through 18 are gone, as well as a few others). In addition, the LR CC had used PTs 61 through 65. That left PTs 66 through 94 clean. Under the 3-digit PT format, PTs 61 through 65 became PTs 132 to 135, and portions of PTs 142 and 143. Since these tests are already used for CC, then, RC passages are pulled from these same tests for the RC lessons.

I can barely read the passages and questions and answer choices in time I don't get how I'm supposed to be breaking this all down so much in time

The author says "while there is no point in revealing a weakness, some lawyers think..."
Is that not author opinion?
@Jsonf I also thought this. I'm still not understanding why the "while there is no point..." is not author's opinion.
They can steal my thunder, but they can't steal my thunder thighs...
Just for reference, he used over a minute more time on the first paragraph than is recommended for the whole passage.

Are you guys writing out your low res summary or just keeping track of it in your head?
I write it down, I am trying to slowly write less and memorize more.
In my head :-)
I do both. I find that I get lost in passages when I do not write a low res summary. Helps keeps me on track.
I've been using careful highlights as a low res summary, but otherwise keep it in my head.

Ngl I'm with the defendant on this one if someone accused me of sufficiency-necessity confusion I'd go feral

That's a good question, I was wondering the same thing.
It's not a specific perspective/opinion of the author. I think it's more a "common sense" thing. Why would you reveal something that would damage your case if there is almost no chance the opponent would bring it up?
Do you recommend reading the passage and attempting the questions before doing the videos? Or just using the videos? #help

Sick comparison
phenomenal backing up of information
Epic reference
Elite example lol

Oh that makes a lot more sense, thank you for clarifying!
