You have a great GPA, don't throw that away by settling for a subpar LSAT. 169 is barely gonna cut it at those schools (if at all) and if it does you won't get much in the way of scholarships. If you can get to the mid or even low-170s you go from a reverse splitter (not where you want to be) to a legit excellent applicant.

There is a pretty significant variance in the difficuluties of sections imo. It's even more striking when you account for the subjective factor of some questions/sections being harder/easier for you specifically. I've definitely had an RC section that was immediately derailed by having a very difficult first passage that took me too long.

Focus on your GPA while you can, then LSAT. Once you graduate, your GPA is set in stone forever, but you have plenty of time to work on your LSAT. The biggest mistake you can make right now is to sacrifice your GPA for more LSAT studying. I would honestly recommend not even LSATing unless you have a 4.0 AND free time to practice. You don't need to go to law school the summer after you graduate, and you'll probably have a better LSAT score and overall application by getting a job after college and studying after work. You'll have more mental bandwidth for the test too. You get 5 chances at the LSAT over as long of a period as you want, whereas you get ONE chance at your GPA which is happening right now.

An atrociously tricky question that is quite easy when you fully understand how A connects directly but seems to be the opposite of what the stim is trying to prove. I eliminated it quickly as a result. The stim is trying to prove that money doesn't exist, so A works by giving us a criteria for existence. Since any extant thing will continue to exist after no one believes in it, we can see that money fails this criteria by no longer existing after non-belief.

I eliminated D because it seemed like that's already a premise in the stim. The earnings from the people whose lives are saved from specialized care implies employment. D was the only answer I liked but I couldn't bring myself to pick it because I felt like it was a part of the premise and was thus unnecessary. Really wish I knew how to not make this type of mistake again!

@ebelineluna589 I felt the exact same as you, even after picking D as the right answer. This answer seems to be wrong the way we understand it. I would love further clarification on why D is correct, when it seems like it isn't necessary for it to be true.
