these are all difficult only because it is the most BORING thing I've ever read. ADHD kicks in and its GG.

It was between A and C for me and I chose C because of the wording "It is" compared to "most" used in answer A. From my perspective, both were equally good and I don't understand how to work out that A is better when it's so close.

this test is making me want to abandon being a lawyer and get a job as a test writer so i can go in and sabotage from the inside and GET RID OF THIS TEST. i HATE it here.

I think that i put too much focus into the time aspect at this point. I keep trying to do everything within a reasonable target time when maybe had I taken an extra minute or two I could have gotten the correct answer.

is it advisable at this point in study to focus on accuracy and then focus on speed at a later time?

considering it says "If true" B is still a good answer. assuming it is true it provides a reason for the recommendation. D could be incrementally better or worse, either could be argued. nonsense like this is why the lsat should just be removed, there's gotta be a better way to admit people.

Nah, this one actually pissed me off.

I don't understand why "a politician can neither be reelected nor avoid censure if that politician is known to be involved in any serious scandal." isn't applied as two parts of a conditional statement. if a politician is not involved in a scandal they could avoid censure based on my interpretation because it depends on the IF of a scandal. if the necessary condition of a scandal doesn't occur then they wouldn't be subject to the subsequent scrutiny.

the word "If" implies that it is a possibility but not a certainty, meaning that the scandal can be known but does not have to be by the colleagues.

if the scandal is known, they are subject to censure and whatnot, but the statement does include the possibility of involvement in a scandal without detection; therefore, answer E isn't incorrect.

answer A shouldn't be true because it assumes a certain condition without it being stated.

pain.

I'm genuinely surprised I got this right considering my pen stopped working and I had to do it in my head only.

Answer choice b is precisely why I cant wait to be done with this test and never think about it again. Spain without the S

Chat, i dont like this one.

I know there are some answers already in the replies, but are there any more current recommendations to "warm up?"

I find that my eyes will read the words, especially with passages like this (boring) but my brain doesn't. the problem is certainly exacerbated by it being my first passage of the day but would still exist.

any tips?

Chat, we finished LR. It is time to LOCK IN.

I really dont understand 14, can somebody help me out please?

I really thought that the word "Solely" in answer A made it wrong. OOOOOOOOF

I am finding that i understand these intuitively in most cases and that when i try to go really deep i end up losing the plot. It is kind of counterintuitive but they way it seems is that i can subliminally understand the relationships and then find the matching answer without fully mapping it in my head.

I don't know if that makes sense to anyone but me, but I'm curious if anyone else is having a similar experience.

I feel like this is one of the ones where the correct answer is the least bad, but not an actual good answer. It's consistent but that is about it.

Does anybody care to give me insight into a real-time strategy for handling Q15 fast during a real test when time counts?

I understand that skipping it could save time because typing the words into control F is wasting time, and the line numbers aren't listed on the passages on this site. I'm curious how to attack this in a better way if I choose to do so.

what is your strategy here?

this is simply the worst question.

out of curiosity, how are the question and passage/game difficulties determined? I find myself missing a lot of the "easier" questions but I got this one and it seemed obvious to me even though it was considered 5/5 difficulty.

video, video, video.

This test is a nightmare as is, with just a wall of text it is borderline impossible to focus and get anything out of it. my brain sees the words but that is it.

Chat, i got one right.

I feel like an idiot.

It's a challenge for me to know when to pick answers that address the premises directly and when to pick the ones that are less related but still make sense as answers when under a time crunch.

is there any general rule to use to eliminate related/unrelated answer choices? the words "If true" in the questions make this difficult to determine.

Im just a moron lol. This was easy but didn't read the word "except".

skill issue on my part.
