I pray I get a 1 star parallel reasoning question on test day

Im ngl my strategy on prep tests so far has been if I see a parallel reasoning question I just quickly read them all and then vibe check pick an answer cuz otherwise I waste like 3 minutes and just get even more confused

I chose D because I feel it was heavily implied there was other chemicals, and it only mentions chlorine is one that depletes the ozone, but it did not say it was most damaging.

These are the ones ive gotten wrong most on my PT's

In LR there is so much bait answers, when you fall for bait just take a couple minutes to see why you fell for it and what in the passage makes it not a perfect answer, there is a lot of common bait techniques they use which after a few months of studying i've found easier to identify, and remember to always leave outside knowledge at the door and just answer the question based on the passage!

Damn I picked B without even reading the others to save time

Half the time on except questions I forget it's an except question halfway through

@yes-coconuts Yeah I hate the level 1's that have a lot of reading, makes it feel so much harder.

The reason I didn't like C was that it didn't explain why they negotiated with bus companies

Don't worry, everyone knows RC is a rng roll, Also James Harden is known to drop a playoff stinker occasionally, but you don't even need a ring you just need to lock in and get one 40 point game on test day.

@KatherineHenry I usually just do it in my head, you can write it down if you need you will be given scratch paper on test day. and you can also highlight stuff on the interface, but just doing mental summaries helps a lot with memorization to me

Congrats! that's a great score, im hoping to get there by September

Not a 170 scorer but I was doing abysmal at RC getting -12-14 a couple weeks ago, But I started doing some untimed RC drills where I focus on the low-res summaries and summarizing after the passage before getting into the questions and it helped me get a lot quicker on the questions and I got a -6 on both RC sections on my most recent one which is a 6-8 point improvement for me. I also really struggled on science passages, so I started reading some economist science articles before bed. Don't overdo it and take time off if you need! Being in a bad mental state will just decrease your score and realize your "bad" score is good enough to get you a full ride to most law schools and is enough to make you competitive for most T14's and is other people's dream score. You can take the LSAT multiple times, and you have proven you have the ability to get a 170+.

@kae I got it wrong too on the same thinking and chose D but I think why A is right is that she actually did answer the question despite misunderstanding it she told him there wasn't a decision on it yet.

@Kevin_Lin Thanks for this explanation!

Makes sense, there was a lot of conditions so I kind of guessed since I was low on time :( need to get quicker so I can get the end of section ones right

I crossed off E because I thought the premise that 7-day cycles are too little significance which I thought ruled out naturally occurring 7-day cycles. I think why I got that wrong and why E is right is because there's a possibility that something with a different cycle could affect it, like a 4 week cause like the lunar cycle that has patterns that could potentially affect 7 day patterns, and E eliminates that possibility?

I was doing so well on time and then I spent like 4 minutes trying to figure this out just to get it wrong

I thought E was kind of weak and chose B because I thought it was insinuating that they evolved from climate changes

How would C not be correct? Couldn't owning the book lead to less doctor visits since they have that resource and are confident, but also affect their health negatively since they have false confidence from the book?
