Just wanted to say that I've found I get nearly every question right when we do this in depth reading of the passage, regardless of question difficulty.
That is to say, when you read it out, and analyze every part and then review it, I barely even need to return to the text to answer the questions; I do them in record time and with record accuracy, since we had what I would consider "deep engagement" with the writing.
I find that when I do passages on my own, I tend to try to read the passage really fast and then go to the questions, only to find I spend too much time on a question, have to refer back to the passage, and ultimately lose time or get the question wrong.
Definitely will be slowing myself down, engaging more with the passage, asking questions, understanding it, even if this requires faking interest!, and hopefully improving my score through this!
@SofiaFuentes it seems like a necessary exercise we must all push through. as nice as it is to approach things at 100%, law school will not allow us that much time as we want to be comfortable.
A big challenge of the LSAT as well is the attrition, working through could help to build up those muscles to have the stamina on test day.
I get why D is right, but I have a difficult time eliminating C when it seems like changes in social customs refers to stuff like the increasing educational attainment levels of women, which did in fact change literary techniques. For example, the local colorists responded to those changes in social customs by increasingly romanticizing the past in their work.
For answer choice D, it's hard for me to say that "neglected" (ans choice D) means "hitherto unrecorded" (in the passage). Just because something isn't recorded, it doesn't mean that it's been neglected?!
I have gotten 0 questions right this section which is very discouraging after hours of practice on rc sections. Clearly my goal is fucked and this is not going well
Don't be discouraged. You have to get questions wrong in order to learn not to make those mistakes next time. Take your freaking time. Train your brain to see patterns. I previously got other similar questions wrong and remembered why. I learned techniques to avoid those mistakes. I was stuck between C & D and just quickly glanced at the "hitherto unrecorded aspects of female consciousness." - which gives support to D. Go through 100 Reading Comp Questions and I promise you the more you analyze and learn from your mistakes you'll end up being perfect on test day.
I chose D becuase the New Women wanted to talk about the unconscious minds of women and D says "speak of new aspects of life no one wrote about before" which in my eyes says talk about unconscious minds
#feedback I think Kevin’s reason for eliminating C was a bit hasty. He got caught up in thinking that they effected social changes when in fact it was saying that social change effected the way they write. Which I think is an apt characterization of the movement. I think the more interesting point of disagreement is the over broad generalization of said effect to all forms of social change and all forms of literature, as well as the use of the word inevitably.
Yes I agree with you and I thought the same thing when I was down to choice C and D. There was some discussion about changes in women culture in the second paragraph, which made me have to take a deeper look at choice C. I like that you brought up the "over broad generalization of said effect to all forms of social change and all forms of literature". I was still having trouble eliminating C even after I chose D so looking at it this way helped me a lot. Thank you! What ultimately made me eliminate C was the point D made about describing reality in ways that were not done previously as this has a stronger holding in the text which considering this the question asked for the most supported generalization it made more sense to choose D. For C you had to stretch the text a bit more to make it fit. It was really difficult choosing between the two as I do believe C is somewhat supported but not as strongly as D. It's no wonder this question was characterized as max difficult,

@NemoPropheta 100% he has the causality backwards. Its still wrong, just not because of the causality direction.

call me a fish cuz i got baited
hi fish
with my female consciousness, I have come to the conclusion that spotlighting Chopin wasn't interesting
LOL
#fuckRC
I like when I get questions right. But then, I feel like I deserve a 30 min break as a reward. It's a win-lose situation.
This is me. I'm keeping myself going with snacks.

Thank you Kevin
thank you for believing in female consciousness
You're telling me all this time women have been conscious? Oh brother do I have some thinking to do.
studying after work makes questions like these REAL humbling.

i hate this passage.
I picked D because it was the only one that related to the New Woman. Thinking about it any further was just confusing.

feminist political theory in college is paying off lol
I hate being woman LOLLLLL
This passage is kicking my ass
wtf................................... neglected.............................. hitherto..... until then........ help me......
C tripped me up ugh
Got the last three wrong, but this one I GOT IT RIGHTTTTT!!!
WOOOOO feels so good getting a highest-difficulty question right
For answer choice D, it's hard for me to say that "neglected" (ans choice D) means "hitherto unrecorded" (in the passage). Just because something isn't recorded, it doesn't mean that it's been neglected?!
PSA:
hitherto - up until now.
Ex - Hitherto, my main contribution to the LSAT has been personally verifying that all five answer choices can, in fact, seem correct.
Just clicked that I actually read The Awakening by Kate Chopin in my highschool AP Literature class. It was fire, Kevin should actually read it.

Don't burn yourself out. Take a day off from studying and you'll feel better coming back to it.
I was down to C and D.....but I went with D because there is nothing about social change in the paragraph about the New Women
I used the exact same line of reasoning lol
I chose D becuase the New Women wanted to talk about the unconscious minds of women and D says "speak of new aspects of life no one wrote about before" which in my eyes says talk about unconscious minds
