@Great1720 Thank you, I still didn't get what the issue was with D after the explanation, until I read your comment.

@Marcus91 Thank you. Yea the geology and evolutionary science can be hard but at least I enjoy them. But I will research all of them particularly medical. Medical is a beast. 😅

The Cursed Medical Science Passages

Hi all.

I have some contradictory info on how to tackle RC, at least with jargon-heavy medical passages, so I need advice.

First, generally, I enjoy RC because the passages are interesting, science in particular. And I try to apply the method: being aware of the tone, structure, viewpoints and such. But medical passages with upwards of 5 unfamiliar terms are a lost cause: I can't remember what I read because I don't understand anything and even if I try to simplify it by assigning letters to each term I still can't remember it because there's too many terms that I don't understand. So the "careful reading" advice doesn't work for me here. I can read something in another language carefully but I still won't understand it because it's in a foreign language.

When I try to simply scan over the jargon and remember where stuff is so I can go back to it, and I use elimination, I get an average of 1-2 wrong answers on 7-8 questions untimed, but timed is a disaster.

Does any of you who have my problem have a strategy you have developed to score high when timed, without actually understanding anything? 😂 Do tell. 😊

The Purpose of Blind Reviews

Hi everyone.

Please help me understand why we do blind review. I have tried to do them a few times and if I remember correctly, the questions were circled red that I had answered correctly. So are we supposed to be baited into choosing a wrong answer after choosing the right one initially? Please let me know the purpose and how they are supposed to work. Thank you.

I wanted to choose the answer A but I didn’t because it seemed like it didn’t accurately describe the issue with the prompt. The prompt said that an increase in the acquisition of weapons precedes war. An arms control agreement means weapon acquisition won’t go up so no war. That looks like a negation to me.

W  —> War

-W

Conclusion: -War

The correct answer said: 

W  —> War

Conclusion: War —> W

That’s a reversal.

(2nd type is war, 1st type is weapons: If war occurs it’s because of weapons)

Please help me with my diagrams. Thank you.

Yea. The thing is that we're supposed to believe that LSAT writers are always right, that every LSAT question is a good question, and that if we don't understand the question or the right answer we're the problem. This question proves that that's nonsense. Thankfully, most questions and answers are ok and we can still get a high score even if we run into an occasional question written by someone who might have smoked pigeon feathers prior to writing the question.🪶🚬

I latched on to E because the "one type of tool" in the premisses versus the "sophisticated tools" in the conclusion totally escaped me. But once I saw that the correct answer made sense

The words weather and climate are not the same thing. I ruled out the correct answer because it mentions the weather while the prompt is about climate. How can one arrive at the correct answer in a situation like this?

Test-Taking Strategies

Is there a place on this platform where there are articles or videos specifically about test-taking strategies like whether we should answer all the questions in the order in which they appear, whether we should skip some and leave them for the end, and if so, which ones, and other similar topics?
