@JJR remember negation is the composition of contradictions. Cold is not a type of negation; it's one contradiction. Cold does not negate hot and hot does not negate cold.

@ryokace "more sophisticated instruments" vs instruments currently available implies that the instruments currently available are not "more" sophisticated to win the comparison. As long as you understand the argument and comparison being made and the winner, you are correct.

Hello, I am also a first-generation student who graduated from UC Berkeley. I am also looking for a study group and would love to join

I do, on average, 2 hours a day and do a full test on Saturday and a blind review on Sunday. I work full-time, and I am a part of different public service-related programs, so I tend to be incredibly busy. I know people who don't work and do 4-6 hours a day, and by the time the test comes, they are burnt out and deal with immense brain fog. Just because you don't work and have time doesn't mean to study for as long as you can. LSAT is a really hard test and requires your utmost concentration when studying! So try to aim for 1-3 hours a day of concentrated, purposeful studying.

When I first started studying, I really focused on foundations!!! I know so many people who see increases in their points, but then they come to a stalemate simply because the test is more than repetition; it's understanding the LSAT language. I also did all my tests and drilling untimed at the beginning. If your under timed pressure on a drill or test you are still trying to grasp it will not help you so my recommendation is to forget about the timing at first and dissect each stimulus, each question types and each answer options and spend as much time as you need the more you do that the faster you will get with time and then you can start timing yourself.

Anyways, you got this! everyones studying pattern is different, you do what works best for you! But please don't overwhelm yourself with studying for such a long period of time, it will do way more harm than good, and take care of yourself! Cheers :)
