I am still confused over Good Farming -> Culture as it has "without" - wouldn't it be /Good Farming -> Culture Values. #help
@nikitamunjal950 Sorry I wasn’t that clear. I thought you meant what was my process after I finished answering all of the questions.
So yes, first I look at the stem, I identify the premises/conclusions, and I go based on my notes how to anaylze the question. Most of which, I already do by physically writing my steps down before checking the answers. If it is MBT, I know it is logic heavy. If it is NA, I negate answers and see if something completely destroys the argument. BUT I completely understand what you mean. Your advice is really helpful. As others have stated, I think what will help is joining studying groups, tutoring, going back to the basics.
Thank you! I will be messaging you.
Hi @nikitamunjal950 My process right now doing the sections untimed is to go through each question and to those that I hesitate in to then I mark them down with stars and I rate how difficult the questions are by giving them one star to three stars. For questions i have to skip, I immediately give them two stars and for questions i am lost in, I give them three starts.
After I finished a section, I go back and check to see which ones I get wrong. I have a spreadsheet that separates the questions that I wrong (those i gave stars to vs. those that I didn't *overconfidence). I watch 7sage videos to the questions I get wrong and look at everyone's comments. I then write on my spreadsheet for every question I got wrong - why I believe I got it wrong and what I should do next time. On another tab, I write down pointers of what stood out/what tricked me/what I should look for for next time. Also, after doing this for both LR sections, I look at the types of questions I got wrong and see what type I keep missing, I put that on the margin.
I have also physically in clear sheet binders PT 38-56. After I am done reviewing, I label the questions I got wrong (with one, two, three stars) and I also label if they were cookie cutter questions. I go back and look back to the questions I got wrong, but usually I already remember the answer choice. However, to those I don't, I try to do them again.
When I was doing PTs timed and then BR, I was doing a similar process above.
I haven't studied for RC as in the beginning of my studying, I focused on LG and now LR. But, from the latest PT I took with RC (Feb- March 2018), I got -17 and -6 in BR, in another PT, -12 and BR -11 and -14 and BR -8.
Hi thank you for your comments @jasminesade220 , I will message you for the study group!
After I finished the CC, I took my first PT and got a 143. I then began to practice LG. So I took several games, foolproof them all in a span of 3 months. I feel so much better in them, but I understand that I should not be getting -3/-2 in the games. I have been doing timed LGs during my lunch and re-doing them the next day. I have been keeping a spreadsheet and a binder of all the PTs that I have and noting those that I got wrong and why I got them wrong when I take my timed sections.
With LR, I feel as though, maybe the Ultimate can help me. I am certain that 7sage has helped me the most in my prep. I will have to consider my finances in upgrading or maybe even taking private tutoring as @gurikaurkahlon743 stated.
@jasminesade220 I definitely hope others chime in as well!
So two summers ago (May to August2017), I started my journey. I was scoring in 131, 133 range using the Self Trainer and Powerscore books. I cancelled my test day as I was not ready. My dream is to get into Harvard. I took a break and began studying again in December with 7sage.
In March 2018, I was scoring around 141, 142. In late July-August, I was scoring low 150s (152-153), my BR score was ranging 160-161.
My breakdown since November 2018 is -5/-4 on LR, -10/-12 on RC (I haven't studied for RC at all since I began studying), and for LR (-10/-9).
It is the last PT I took as so far, as I am still not improving in LR. So, I've been doing untimed sections of old tests and going back to the basics.
However, even untimed, I usually get -11/-12 totaled for both LR sections. In the meanwhile as I practice LR, I time myself in LG and typically go (-3).
Is this normal? I am feeling immensely discouraged as I thought by now, I would be ready to take the LSAT this June. With calculating my untimed LR sections, timed LG, and assuming I am still scoring (-10/-12) on RC, I am still scoring low 150s. If I keep studying how I've been studying, will I ever reach my target score (170-175)? Any tips?
Note: I work full-time, 40hrs a week. I try to study 2 hours before work, 1hr at lunch, and 10 hours on weekends (at least 15 hours a week).
Thank you everyone for these comments! I've struggled with this exam (with numerous breakdowns left to right).. and I've tried my hardest these past months in improving, so I guess I just assumed that I would be at my target score by now. I should try not to be too hard on my self and continue at it
So last summer (May to August2017), I started my journey. I was scoring in 133, 134 range using the Self Trainer and Powerscore books. I took a break and began studying again in December with 7sage. In March, I was scoring around 141, 142. My score as of now is 152, my BR score is 161. Am I improving too slowly? Is this normal? If I keep studying how I've been studying, will I reach my target score (170) by at least next June? I feel discouraged. Any tips?
Note: I work full-time, 40hrs a week.
I chose A because I thought "unusually inaccurate" signified that reporters is usually accurate in their reports, which I thought doesn't strength or do anything for the argument
I still don't get this as I eliminated B because how do we know that the artifacts belonging to the ancestors were in fact tools they developed. HELP

STILL confused over how the first sentence can be taken as context. Help!
I still don't understand this question. If anyone can give me an alternative explanation, that'll be great
