Leaving a comment here because we sound extremely similar: Same goal score, same October score, same study schedule, same current score of about 164. My weakness is also wild swinging on RC sections, but I do incredibly well on BR (highest BR was a 177). I also want to retake in either April or June. So I'm gonna assume any advice someone leaves for you might help me out too lol

This is probably a summary of what others may have said, but when I see these I say to myself: "Negation of the way things are --> unless..."

So, in your case, it would be: "Major meteor impacts & mass extinctions CAN be consistently causally linked --> many mass extinctions have followed..."

After I memorized that easy one liner, I never had a problem with these. I hope this helps! :)

@Kevin Lin Ok I see, thanks for the quick response!

I felt the same way about a year ago. Took the LSAT twice and didn't feel like I reached my potential, so I waited another year, moved back in with my parents, and used time to my best advantage.

One of the best pieces of advice I gave myself a few months ago when I was frustrated was asking myself this question, "If I could look back 6 months from now and I'm scoring in the 170s, what would I be glad I did today to make that happen?" And then I would go about doing that, whether that's taking a nap so I don't feel drained or waking up early to fit in some drills before work.

For me, the LSAT is about setting long term goals, but even more so, it is about just doing the next right thing. Small, consistent steps in the right direction :) we both got this!!

I usually try to use my own logic first and then, if I get stuck, will go about doing diagramming, but the more you do it the better you get. Not sure how far away your exam is but this practice might be helpful: do a short drill with just conditional questions, try to figure the answers out in your head, and pick an answer based on that.

If you get stuck, then do some diagramming, but diagramming was typically my last resort unless it was a level 4/5 kind of question.

I found that sometimes questions make more sense to me when I just think about them logically and I'm became more likely to get them right without it being a lawgical time sink. I hope this was helpful. Best of luck to you, you got this!

Congrats that's awesome!!

This might actually sound strange but I think I study better when I work full time. I started studying in my final year of undergrad where I took classes and worked part-time. I had more time during the week in general, but every day looked a little different depending on college assignments I had due, my work schedule, etc. Now that I'm graduated and work full time, every week more or less looks the same. I study every weekday before and after work (~2-3 hrs combined) and then take a PT on the weekends or every other weekend. I have less time, but I use the time wisely and make the best of the consistency my schedule currently holds. It took like a month for it to click for me, but once it did I began to enjoy my lsat study schedule.

Wait I'm confused (#help). E says that people who eat nuts eat less foods whose taste stimulates a hunger response. But we don't know about the kinds of foods that non nut-eaters eat. What if there are only two foods that stimulate hunger responses and barely anyone from either groups eats either of them. Wouldn't that pose a problem for E?

Wow that's awesome!! Big congrats! Are there any tips you would say helped you the most?

B isn't the answer bc what if the essayist only knows like 5 out a million ppl?

I asked this same question on LSAT reddit like 6 months ago and the responses literally bullied me into locking in lol. I can't even complain tho bc it worked, I never had an issue focusing after that.

@Sanique Rowe Omg thank you guys so much for this update! For a long time I was stuck bc I wanted to practice using the LawHub format, but also wanted to have the 7Sage analytics. This fixes that issue so I couldn't be more grateful !

I feel so dumb for this fr

But what if warfare coincidentally started at the same time as agricultural society, but was a result of something else? How does answer choice C prove that the transition to agricultural society caused warfare?

But what if even the most expensive items came out to be cheaper than the regular items when on sale? What if the shoppers with a list didn't buy things that were necessarily cheap?

I was stuck between B and C, but picked B because to be correct, wouldn't C need to specify "more likely to seek professional treatment for migraines"? What if it was referring to professional treatment for anxiety, since the answer choice doesn't even mention the word migraine?
