hi, i am taking my lsat in june, and recently my game scores have plummeted for some reason, so i am trying to get my scores back up –– when i was doing ok on them, it was right after i did the games part of 7sage, and i guess i was doing like 2 at a time over and over again, but i am wondering if anyone who has super improved on the games noticed which strategy is better (doing the same game a thousand times in a row or like alternating 3 sections over and over again)?
does anyone have any tips about where to take it? like at home, at the library, etc? because with practice tests I have had issues both at home and at the library with, like, focus, so i don't think i personally have noticed that i have a preference, but maybe other people have, so i am curious about your thoughts/opinions?
in question 12, is c not a little broud? like it's not describing how to strategize for any legal argument –– it's specifically this one. i get how e is not a great choice because it doesn't focus on the unsoundness, but i understood e as saying "the passage shows how Thurgood Marshall's strategy could be used to show how legally, not just morally (like we all recognize that segregation is horrible but even on a legal basis it doesn't work), it fails [and thus how he utilized this strategy to win Brown v. the Board of Education"

why isn't 17 b? i don't understand how traditional research is not the opponent #help
also, in question 14, i do not understand why d is correct. i understand conceptually how judges might arrive at different conclusions based on their world experience, region, etc., but that's not discussed in the passage. if "translate" means converting something to fit into the current world, then should there not, according to this passage, be a single translation?
to me, this feels like a mildly imperfect answer, and i feel like c is also mildly imperfect. i see how c is wrong but i am confused how d is better.

in question 11, if the elite cares about donating to charity, doesn't that mean they're potentially elevating people in society that would be able to have more control?… also, more importantly, if lawmakers are perpetuating their government is that not the people in control (or the political elite, seeing as they make the laws…) perpetuating their control?… #help
for question 5, how does the author insinuate that they agree that Rembrandt had economic motive –– did they not say "there may be some truth," as in there may or may not be some truth? #help
1. how can the "performance of such objective tests" be a sufficient clause with the "inevitably result in" phrasing in answer D? are they both necessary then? and then how can it be "parallel"?
2. i missed it, sort of, in this question, but can i *generally rely on answers with the same strength conclusions as the question? like the "overly optimistic" could never be "inevitable"? that strategy has been being used, but i am just wondering how reliable it is … for instance, what if there was no conclusion but the question better paralleled the reasoning? or would that never even happen?
3. how am i supposed to do these questions in like a single minute? like what do i practice so i don't use up all of the "parallel reasoning" questions? should i be trying to map all of the answers?

i got this right but felt super insecure about it –– is there something that i can do to feel more confident about my answers to passages where i do not remotely comprehend the meaning? i know that the grammar lessors sort of helped, but i wish there was more of a connection between grammar and not understanding the passage/still feeling confident in an answer

i'm confused on the last answer... if disease y is cancer, and disease x is lung cancer, then couldn't you say that smoking causes lung cancer but that smoking does not cause (all) cancer? #help
I feel like a lot of these questions involve a lot of assumptions; I am confused about when I am allowed to assume or not #help
i got number 23 wrong (i chose e) and i am wondering if you would say that usually when you get these questions about why they put this quotation that you could kind of ignore the rest of the paragraph? like if you only saw this little bit you would choose this answer? i ask because i deliberately didn't choose d because I thought that "support" was a stretch, but i see now how i jumped too far to e
