It seems that most of ya'll are getting and that's awesome, I feel that I spot the correct answer, and one that is similar and it just takes me a long time to find the correct one. Any advice? thanks in advance
@LauraBolivar Since time is a big factor, I usually go with my stronger instinct, which I have found has become a lot more accurate with drilling a lot of questions. I think it is because after seeing so many answers, I have started to subconsciously pick up on how right answers sound, if that makes sense?
@Cfb72 Yeah no I took a drill and the ones that I consciously did I got almost all of them right, however, do you have any tips on how to like get more answers right consciously? if that makes any sense
@LauraBolivar I know this is a late reply but for me I find it easier to spot an incorrect answer than a correct one. The LSAT writers love to make the correct answer choice sound extremely mediocre while making incorrect answer choices sound appealing. Ellen Cassidys book "The Loophole" has a helpful chapter on "red flag" answer choices and with practice it has really helped me to eliminate answers that "seem correct" but are too strong, out of scope, etc.
I believe the question difficulty relates to the singular question whereas the PSG/Game/S difficulty refers to the difficulty of the overall passage/game/section. So, the difficulty for this passage is a constant value while the singular question difficulty varies question to question.

11 seconds lets go!!!!!
29 seconds? Heck yeah
37 seconds is my crutch
what is the difference between question difficulty and PSG/Game/S difficulty?
I believe the question difficulty relates to the singular question whereas the PSG/Game/S difficulty refers to the difficulty of the overall passage/game/section. So, the difficulty for this passage is a constant value while the singular question difficulty varies question to question.
These are super helpful explanations, thank you all!
the S stands for stimulus. It is the difficulty of the language and subject matter in the actual passage in RC or stimulus in LR
