actually sounds like the plot to an awesome movie - "A tragic figure, defying a curse placed on his family by the gods, leads his city into a battle that he realizes will prove futile."

I eliminated A because I thought that the "access" being spoken about was the developing nation's access to the capability to air industrialized media. I didn't feel like there was any reason to assume that it was the individuals', within those nations, "access" being spoken about. I don't see anyway to have interpreted the question differently than I did, besides just being lucky.

If we are talking about the nation's access, then the fact that some air more industrialized media doesn't mean anything. My friend might spend a lot more time golfing than I do, but that doesn't mean we don't both have the same level of access to Top Golf.

I've been thinking about this question, and feel like if I were to see it under time pressure I would translate the second half of it differently in my head.

Listing --> easier to limit --> some people would do so --> they would be healthier.

I know JY's explanation contains far more clarity, but I don't feel that I would replicate that more-intricate-than-not level of logic under timed conditions. Does my translation work? Is it a bad habit that will punish me in other questions?

I didn't understand it much when I first learned it and felt discouraged, but it becomes much more intuitive when you have been practicing for a while. Kicking up to the domain and into the premise set is INCREDIBLY important for the future, so keep this in your back pocket even if it feels confusing right now. It gets better!

General · Very confused on how to continued from here, also any tips from going from mid 160s to mid 170s?

Not sure exactly what would help you the most, but what has helped me with understanding is to take a pencil to the screen and trace along the passage as you read. This will force you to see each word. Then think about how it connects to the past sentence and how it will probably continue into the next sentence. Lastly, just remembering that all LSAT questions are designed to be able to be understood by someone in under two minutes, so when something feels crazy complex, most the time it is just something little you are missing. It makes it feel a little less scary that way, at least for me.

When should I start live classes?

Hi all,

Any advice on how to incorporate the live classes into the CC? I just purchased the Monthy+Live plan and am planning to take the lsat in about 9 months. I am wondering at what point I should start seriously utilizing the live classes. I noticed the live classes include questions from prep tests beyond the 30 old ones saved for drilling in the CC. That made me weary of joining any of them before I have taken a fair share of the newer practice tests.

Thanks in advance for any help!

"The judges are not basing their judgements off entirely arbitrary criteria."

Because the conclusion only relates to how well drivers will drive, this pretend answer would still not be a correct NA right?

This isn't a technique or anything, but something that has helped me is just reading a book that I really love for like 10 minutes before I take an exam. It helps me get into the rhythm of reading. Kinda cools my nerves a bit.
