I try to focus on what the author/other people state in RC either explicitly or, if we can back it up with the passage, what they might have said implicitly. A lot of Trap ACs bring irrelevant info or are out of scope. LSAT writers try to bait us with information that might be closely related to the topic at hand, but, in the end, is not mentioned in the passage at all. All correct ACs need to be corroborated with the info in the passage.
It can be difficult, but what has worked for me is to have a specific time to study for the LSAT. I prefer to study before work to have a fresh mind before all the stress of the working day accumulates. Meal prepping is also a must in my opinion. It will save you a ton of time.
I guess resting this weekend would be good for your brain! But you kniw what they say...Hope for the best, plan for the worst. Congrats on taking the test!!!
Wow, this question does play with our assumptions. The test writers are mental..
@EzraG Following! Im in the upper 160s zone! I want to break into the 170s!
I think it has to do with how many 4 or 5 level questions are for the passage. It is not necessarily the topic because I have come across some passages that I had no idea wth the author was talking about, but the questions were easy. Some passages are easy to understand. However, the questions are a nightmare. They do mention in the curriculum that some passages are dense with boing topics to "scare" test takers.
@HappyTestTaker Congrats!! I'm still stuck in the 160s, but I think that the "envisioning technique" before taking a PT might be beneficial. I struggle with fatigue in the last two sections.
@CherryMayDelaCruz I think what Op is asking is to keep the recommendation flagged during BR, but for us not be able to see why is being recommended. Showing that the question needs to be BR reviewed, without telling you the specific reason when you move the cursor to the "i" icon.
@BrookeLSAT24 AC A refers to urban groups. The argument is about rural and semirural groups
@MayorOfWhoville Hello! do you have the name of the book? It sounds like a solid idea.
I work around 40 to 50 hours a week as well. It can be difficult to find time to study sometimes. However, even 20 to 30 minutes a day can help. Try studying before work and some afterwards. Being mentally drained after work is a thing lol, but keep positive! You can do it :)
Hello! Hope everyone is doing well. I just wanted to get insights on how to warm up before taking a timed PT. Do you guys do a RC passage or a couple of LR questions? If I go directly to the PT, I feel like I can't really "click" until the end of the 1st section.
Any recommendations are appreciated!
Happy studies 😊
@lsat7sjaidfjod It does help sometimes. Questions 24,25, and 26 were not that bad compared to this one.
Hello! Doing BR does help for RC. Do the passages that gave you the most trouble and dissect it piece by piece. I took PT 150 last week and S4 did have some challenging readings. Know that every correct AC in each RC passage has support in the text somewhere.
@HappyTestTaker I'm here as well lol! The people that commented are already partners in some law firm by now.
Congratulations!!!! You got this. A random stranger, me, believes in you :)
