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

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
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
studying after work makes questions like these REAL humbling.

You're telling me all this time women have been conscious? Oh brother do I have some thinking to do.
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.
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.

@IanLSAT I think they eliminate C for the wrong reason here. I think C is wrong because the use of the word inevitably is way too strong to justify.
This passage is kicking my ass
feminist political theory in college is paying off lol
I hate being woman LOLLLLL
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.

Praying on test day that I get 3 RC sections and one LR section
@kyorofan20 Unfortunately I believe the only 2 combinations possible are:
2 LR/2 RC or 3LR/1RC
@kyorofan20 that could never happen, but it's a nice thought lol
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
