Hey friends -- I have a lil conundrum Im curious to find some commraderie in. When I get my PTs back, without fail every time the majority of the questions Im getting wrong are level 2/3 questions. Out of the 13 Level 4/5 questions on this last PT, I got 10/13 right, which means of the 12 LRs I got wrong, 9 were rated 2-3 stars. I get the rating system ultimately is just based on general success with the question, but it drives me insane to see that what everyone else is understanding easily, Im messing up, and sometimes vice versa! Has anyone else run into this? Were you able to name why? Does it even matter if I name why?
I see how D is wrong, but unclear why E isnt wrong for the same reason. E doesnt say "...the Super XL had been used first it would have left behind THE SAME DIRT as did the old vacuum cleaner". It mentions the quantity just as D did.
I got held up over the use of "easy" over "not difficult". With the LSAT, I get confused when to take things literally, and when to let things be flexible. Because saying E is right because it would be "easy" I think is descriptively inaccurate since we only know the conditions if something is "not difficult". I went with D because I thought it was more descriptively accurate, even though it didn't necessarily touch on exclusive permission on returning late. I totally see and agree that E is right, just unsure when I should take things literally and when its best not to.
If I can offer some feedback about some of these explanations, the tone that something is obvious is really unhelpful. If Im watching something for information, it's clearly not obvious to me. And I find when the tutor finds it obvious, we blow through the explanation.
Where does it say hes not competent on matters of scientific substance? It says his book does not merit attention from serious professionals. Attacking his character is clear, but I dont think A is descriptively accurate to what happens in the passage.
