Hey i just started recently studying for the LSAT, and right now im currently working on 15 questions untimed, and im noticing i get to question 11 and im doing much worse for that last 5 questions stretch, and soon as i get the wrong answer i recognize the right answer and very quickly. like "oh that makes alot of sense" just wondering if you had any advice regarding that, and how to reach that understanding before answering. i feel i sometimes get conflicted with one or the other answer choice a little too often. i hope my question makes sense
Oh i meant to put C lol, that was my answer, idk where B came from but i get what your saying. Like soon as it gave the right answer , i knew it instantly i just hate that i had the idea that would have lead me to the answer then reversed it back. i appreciate the advice. definitely gonna try to apply it today
Was curious on everyone take on applying i guess “common sense” vs “The stimulus didn’t mention that at all.
for example the stimulus was
“Farmer: Because water content is what makes popcorn pop, the kernels must dry at just the right speed to trap the correct amount of water. The best way to achieve this effect is to have the sun dry the corn while the corn is still in the field, but I always dry the ears on a screen in a warm, dry room”
“Which one of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy between the farmer's theory and practice?
A
The region in which the farmer grows popcorn experiences a long, cloudy season that begins shortly before the popcorn in fields would begin to dry.(Correct answer)
B
Leaving popcorn to dry on its stalks in the field is the least expensive method of drying it.
C
Drying popcorn on its stalks in the field is only one of several methods that allow the kernels' water content to reach acceptable levels. (My answer)
D
When popcorn does not dry sufficiently, it will still pop, but it will take several minutes to do so, even under optimal popping conditions.
E
If popcorn is allowed to dry too much, it will not pop.
Which i was debating between A and C but the thought of “the sunniness not being there cause of the weather came therefore XYZ” came into my head but i thought oh it doesn’t mention that so stick to what the stimulus say so i chose C, which is a bad answer regardless but i eliminated the other 3 anyways. So, i hope my question makes but just want to know
(Which in hindsight it seems stupid obvious but yeah)
when you guys i guess think outside the passage? I feel i run into that issue a lot where my thought would make the answer make sense but then i reverse it due to trying to be “strict” to the stimulus
Oh yeah highlighting helps me a lot too
i just got hit with two questions stems verbage i never seen and i was doing the complete opposite lol of what i was needed to do so i think the exposing has to do with it
I been using 7Sages platform and using LSATDemons approach and it definitely feel like it things are clicking so well for me now
i appreciate your insight 🙏🏿
