if you do it enough, eventually it becomes second nature. do the drills really slowly at first and get the actions down before you worry about the timing
I'm so excited to try out this strategy. So many of the science/economics passages are beyond me, but I can definitely make things up and translate them to make more sense!
While it can feel like these skills in this earlier part of studying feel tangential to the LSAT, I'm grateful for re-learning these at a post-graduate level. These will help with the LSAT, of course, but they'll also help day to day in some part
Excellent. This is gold. Not only will this tip help for the LSAT, but in comprehending all texts I read. That will improve my quality of life. Thank you for making this content available!
There are multiple dog breeds but the Godzilla dog is one that has 5 legs and is only in south regions. I was in a south region and saw a Godzilla dog. This is probably wrong but this was my attempt
@Kevin_Lin or anyone who wants to take a stab --general translation question: May you provide sentence examples that demonstrate the difference between "the only" (listed under group 1 sufficient conditions) and "only" (listed under group 2 necessary conditions? It would help with my translation practice. Thank you!
Love tip to read more... literally was stumped by an LSAT question cause I didn't know Aristotle's works... IM JUST A GIRL 😩 Anyways, adding the philosophy classics to my list!
It reminds me of Akeelah and the Bee. Her spelling coach, Dr. Larrabee showed her long advanced words, and taught her to analyze each part of the word. For example, "Soliterraneous" when split up uses the words "sol" meaning sun, and "terrain" meaning of the earth.
He asked Akeelah, "What are big words made up of?" She answered "Little words!" and he said "Right!"

Axolotls are endemic to Xochimilco, I think
The example I came up with was literally lemurs in Madagascar lol
My question and major concern right now is time, like how do you do all this translating, understanding and breaking up but being on time

"You really can just make stuff up as long as you don't take your own examples seriously. "
That is so funny and true. I mean what if we get caught up in our own fantasies haha

I know you didn't see a unicorn since it is mythical! (I doubt myself when I saw that sentence). Even though it's the national animal of Scotland.
Endemic. What a good word. Never used it until I traveled to the Galapagos and my use of the word went up a tremendous amount.
So our instructor DIDN'T find a unicorn in Scotland? :/ we have to cancel our flights, guys

What are some good online reading sources? Most w/o Uni login require a subscription

@Apenzer The only people who can legally vote are citizens.
(Does that mean everyone who can legally vote is a citizen or that every citizen can legally vote?)
Only people who are citizens can legally vote.
(Does this mean something different as the above, or the same?)
@Kevin_Lin That's really helpful -- thank you!
This tool is critical, I look forward to the surprise that will happen,
This page was really good!
When reading the endemic species example. I thought of a species of GOATS and how they ONLY are born in Akron, Ohio.

Should I try this trick in my everyday life to help me?

That is the approach I take with long passages.
@ElliotRosin: I could not agree more with you. Great example!!
@HealthLaw@28 Thank you. It is a criminally underrated film!
Everyone needs to be reading more!!
@an12 underrated and agreed!
love this page!!
Does anyone have specific readings they like to teach themselves about other topics that make them uncomfy (like sci-fi/ science) ?
@LydiaBoesel For Sci-Fi, I love Andy Weir books
@LydiaBoesel The Origin of Species is a genuinely interesting read. Not hard by scientific standards, but very engaging Imo.
I was naturally doing this so its nice to see that its a useful skill.
