So, I definitely missed key parts to this, but what I figured out (and later confirmed after the explanation) is that:
"All students with C+ or lower grades had imperfect attendance" =/= "All students with imperfect attendance had a bad grade (C+ or lower)."
I totally missed that distinction while doing this question.
I used to do that, and I still have the urge to do it, however, I have found that I really understand the reasoning behind answer selections a lot more now because I DIDN'T check after every question, I only did it when I was locked in, and when I was locked in on my BR. My only issue going forward is my timing, which I am sure will get faster with practice. That all being said, that is the method of study that has worked for me so far, it may not be the best for you, but I would try avoiding it and seeing if it work!
To the last point that was made, I wish I had that advice sooner, or rather, I wish I would have taken it more seriously. In the old curriculum I focused WAY TOO MUCH on trying to understand weakening questions on the Logical Reasoning (LR) sections. I spent so much time on trying to understand them that I severely hurt my LSAT score earlier this year. A majority of my LR stuff I understood, and I was actually significantly better at strengthening questions than weakening questions (despite how similar they really are). Do not make my mistake. It is OK to not grasp something 100% when going through the lessons, that's what drills are for, and as was said, flag them and return to them later.
I love the use (and modification) of the classic Socrates Syllogism.
I wish I would have gone through the material I was stuck on as quickly (but efficiently) as possible. I hurt myself in my last LSAT because there was SO MUCH I didn't know for the rest of the test. I was too fixated on trying to be perfect that I sacrificed the RC section entirely and half of the LR. Lesson learned!
I uttered a string of expletives quite suddenly. The coffee table is moved nearly a foot from its original position. Therefore, I kicked the coffee table.
Maybe I missed it, but if I were to "Ask a Tutor", is there an additional cost associated with that?
