I can't believe I chose D after seeing this explanation. While it is a very attractive wrong answer choice, it has two flawed pieces of logic (use of "most" vs. "nearly all" and the fact the passage only refers to new zoo animals.) That is two missed opportunities. Whoops!

Just goes to show how important carefully reading and really understanding each word is.

This is essentially the same weekly schedule that I use! It has worked well for me about a month in. I had to take a couple weeks off due to some personal matters, but even after that I am still very much on track. Take the weekends for yourself. It is very important to have built-in breaks and not burn out. It's a marathon, not a sprint. If a M-F 9:30-5:00 schedule is sustainable for you I believe you will be in great shape by October!

Best of luck, you got this!

Glad to know it's not just me having this issue!

JY's method for 'EXCEPT' questions has been such a game changer. Something about circling the four answer choices that do support the stimuli just works in my brain. Prior to using that method I would often make silly mistakes on 'EXCEPT' questions, but no longer.
