🙃 Confused

Take another LSAT or not?

Hi everyone!

As many of you probably did, I just got my April LAST score back and am a little underwhelmed... For context, I started studying at the end of last May, took the September test, and got a 152. I took a step back, decided not to apply this cycle, and signed up for the April test and got a 164. I am happy with the significant score jump, but feel like I have more in the tank with most of my recent PTs being 168-174 (and a 162 2 weeks before :/ )

I was really, really hoping that would be my last test and did not sign up for the June exam. I am getting married on August 8, so the August test is off the table for me. September almost seems too soon after my wedding to really lock in again, and October feels so far away.

I work full-time, over 5 years out of undergrad, and am trying to decide if I should be content with a significant score jump or if I should try again. The burnout is real right now...

Any advice, motivation, etc would be most helpful.

My goal score is a 168 btw

The reason I picked C was because I think it is the only answer that offers a "false opposition" like the one in the passage.

the written explanation of C has confused me that maybe I did not pick this answer for the right reasons....

So if C said "supports one of Malthus's positions" would it be correct?

is it possible that A is actually anti-supported by the argument? If it is impossible to understand uninterrupted streams of sounds, then that would make the non-natives perception impossible since native speakers do understand their own language

Did anyone else misunderstand the last sentence and think it meant that it would be better to be ruled by the few?

I do not understand why he chose to set up the first sentence as exist -> (less int -> /determ)

instead of

exist -> (determ -> as int)

I feel like me translating the lawgic in this way set me up for lots of confusion in this question

Advice? thx :)

is it true that for most NA questions, we do not want a conditional statement to be our answer?

misunderstood the conclusion... I thought "warning" was referring to a new idea that if doctors were going to intentinally decieve paitents, the must include a warning before they do so...

If I did this passage by myself, I would definitly take it more as a critique/debate passage. I feel like the MP follows as the author's view the ideas are the important part
