@KyleWelch Wholeheartedly agree. However its important to keep positivity in mind. Skill builders are there to provide you with a solid foundation before you apply yourself.

@StarBrooks It helped me throw a question mark at the end.
Why will further increases of grain production be extremely difficult?
Because Most usable farmland is already being farmed with near-maximal efficiency -- ok good
Beacause Worldwide demand for grain has been increasing steadily -- Yeah it doesn't answer my question.
Because a worldwide grain shortage is likely? Doesnt answer my question -- however the original question answers this question -- "Because increases of grain production will be extremely difficult
I took a lot time to answer but I'm glad I got 3/3 right. I'm finally understand what the questions are asking. However some answer choices I don't have no idea what they mean especially one that had phenomenon in it.
@Okknicoleee lol. Everything is gonna be fine. I don’t even understand the process through which my mind goes when I am looking for the answers… somehow the answers will come to you.
@Okknicoleee I personally found seperating each sentance with the highlight and asking myself the why should I beleive this or does this support something bigger helped.
@jaypring What's working for me is: reading the question and highlighting what I think it is explicitly asking me to identify, reading the stimulus while making sure to highlight/segregate what I think is the conclusion, then reading the answer choices last and doing the process of elimination.
For me, even thinking about any answer choices before I delve into the stimulus and really dissect it is mental overload.
i feel like im really starting to get a hang of this except for the timing. The timing stresses me out as i feel like i have to read the blurb a few times to understand what is being said. Hoping practice helps my speed.
@asanz001 I feel you! I do think that right now it is okay to take your time to understand the questions and why the answers are correct or incorrect. Once we get a grasp of that, I believe we will move a little faster. We'll be able to spot what we need a little faster...at least I hope so!
@SofiyaBerman Update: I figured it out. I was lumping both clauses in the last sentence together instead of splitting them by part of argument. Note to self: LOOK AT EVERY CLAUSE SEPARATELY.
@soapster Im also taking my absolute time with this, with how much prep we have before our pt's im assuming time will gradually become more apparent. Trying not to rush to understand the fundamentals before trying to rush for time. Crawling before walking
got 3/3!!! i found that at least for myself and for right now, talking out loud while engaging with the text helps a lot (obviously for now not when you take actual LSAT). I've never really done this before but explaining the argument to myself and saying my thoughts out loud helped me eliminate answers that were incorrect!

The answers are still evry nitpicky, but after seeing the xplanations, I can see how a good amount of the answers make more sense
i am having an EXTREMELY HARD TIME indentifying premises and conclusions. the skill builders were much more easier than the actual LSAT questions.

Blind Review had me thinking I only got 1/3...My initial answers were still 3/3! I see how Blind Review works now, haha.
#2 was and still is tripping me up! Can anyone help explain?

3/3!
3/3, with over time of 1 minute and a few seconds for each Q.
I took much longer to complete the questions but I am not focused on speed I am focused on accuracy at this stage. So happy I got 3/3!

Had a brain fart and submitted with only the first question answered lol, but got 100% on blind review, let's go
@WillKing95 lol did the same thing 🤦
I'm cooked, at first I felt confident as I got the prior 2 correct but for some reason these 3 stumped me and I don't understand where I went wrong.

3/3 after successive failures in the single-question previous exercises. I do not like pressure, but it seems I thrive with it.
3/3. I'm about to make this test my b____.

@jaypring Coming back to say I lied and this is very hard the more you study.
3/3. Timing was over by a min in the first two, but I'm really starting to get the hang of this slightly

I don't know how it's possible but I just scored a 3/3. Oh yeah, baby. It's all coming together! Maybe this is actually possible.
I had no issues with 1 and 2 but got #3 wrong twice and went overtime...

Timing a lil slow but i got them all right :)

My timing is solid, but I got 1 very wrong. 2/3
3/3 but my timing is still way off. Hopefully I will get better at producing quicker results.
3/3. Definitely took my sweet time, but its baby steps!
3/3! Woohoo!
all right still too slow. any recs for speeding up?
2/3 actual take but 3/3 for blind review. The second argument tripped me lol
3/3 and starting to have fun with these!
