@mgarciadelaz For me, slow is smooth and smooth is fast. I didn't do too great (153) and I've noticed most of it came down to trying to speed my way through questions to make time. Making time is important, getting right answers is more important.

Funny how selecting E is wrong, but its basically guaranteed you will pick it because under time it's too messy to parse out.

B definitely felt like a trap to get you if you are skimming through the answers.

"The stimulus lays out a set of rules for who gets to receive a special discount coupon, and then this fuckin’ guy shows up, and he’s like, 'Rules? Rules don’t apply to me. My name is Pat.'" Literally my exact reaction.

My problem with AC C being wrong is that it reads as though since all coffee houses are public places, then it appears as though it would fit the rule of "most well designed public places feature artwork". I still don't get even after the explanation how that is wrong.

The writers of this question were extra tricky building the questions to lull you into treating it like a MBT and not an SA question.

I feel like the level of assumption needed to get to AC D is the same as to get to the right answer with AC C....

JY even saying this question was not just hard, but terribly done. I hope this question was never actually on a graded portion of the LSAT.

Going through all the lessons again after having just taken the LSAT (planning to take it again in August). When they say the LSAT is poorly written on purpose, that may be the most accurate description ever for the test.

I'm getting frustrated with some of these LSAT questions where, for most of the time we are taught "the right answer is the one with the least mental gymnastics" until we reach ones where its somehow the one with the most mental gymnastics?

Still unclear on how AC B is wrong but A is right when they are both just as abstract. Yes, passage A didn't explicitly talk about overall health like B did, but AC A is a real stretch to call it a main point when agricultural development on the archeological record seems more to support a main point of discussing how certain times of foods impacted early human societies.

@_ Now the LSAT wants me to do math? If I was good at that, I'd go be an engineer or something.

AC D threw me off because I could totally see the LSAT take "in order to benefit others", and go "oh no that's wrong. We said attain a certain goal and you are making too much of an assumption that those are the same thing".

The explanation for why D is wrong doesn't make sense based on the prompt. The question didn't ask us whether it was valid or not, just if it followed a similar pattern of reasoning.

Kind of bothered that the explanation for why E is wrong seems to be a similar or same issue with C, yet C is right.

These curve breakers don't make sense to me. The problem with C seems to be similar to the justification for why D is correct. Why would D be more correct at that point?

Starting to think the LSAT is just a giant exercise in justifying poorly written sentences.

I get that LR questions don't always make sense in a real-world application, but the way B is written makes it seem like the pool being open before noon is conditioned upon Biba's neighbor having a child under the age of 6.

While I understand the lesson, LR more and more feels like a game made up by that kid on the playground who constantly changes the rules to win.

I tend to work long, unpredictable hours as well. One thing that has helped me is to study early in the mornings. I'll try to get about an hour or so in every morning right when I wake up and before I start the rest of the day since it's the only consistent time of day I have. It was a little hard at first, but sitting down with my first cup of coffee for the day and digging in for an hour or so has almost become like a relaxing morning habit. I'll caveat, my circadian rhythm is a bit screwed up. So I am usually awake by 4AM whether I want to be or not.
