Unfortunately, I find myself frequently narrowing down RC answers to two choices, then picking the wrong one*. This is especially the case with MAIN POINT questions (although I have no problem identifying conclusions in LR stimuli).

While I know the common types of incorrect ACs (out of scope, too narrow, unsupported, etc.), that knowledge doesn't seem to be helping me, especially in a time crunch.

I've also come across seemingly conflicting information in my study materials* concerning main point questions: some say it has to encompass all the main points of the paragraphs (or else it's too narrow), while others say it should just focus on the main conclusion and any subsidiary conclusions shouldn't be mentioned (or else it's too broad). Which is correct?

It's hard to find the right answer when I'm unsure exactly what it needs to include (or exclude).

ANY help is greatly appreciated, especially that which I can apply within the next couple days (if possible).

Thank you!!!

Background:

**(I've just been studying on my own with the help of some misc. prep books and free online materials [ya girl is broke], but need some additional help.)

Hey guys! So, I'm currently panicking...I'm waiting on a LOR from my boss (an attorney for whom I've worked for 3 years), and haven't submitted apps yet.

I'm applying to Emory, U of GA, Wake Forest, UNC, and U of FL.

I'm worried because my latest LSAT score was from September, and most people who wait this long just took the LSAT in December. However, I've been single-handedly planning my June wedding and working, and have been lacking motivation to work on essays.

Have I significantly damaged my chances of acceptance by waiting too long?
