@ezheng811 100%, my background is in education with a focus on equity and all that did is make me mad I didn't go to law school earlier. Learning how screwed up the education system put me in all sorts of a mood. Still does. Still doing education work and frustrated every day watching students around me feel like they can't get ahead no matter what. I come from a family of law enforcement too and I know the system is broken, so if I make it out of the LSAT alive I plan to do criminal defense for the sake of protecting those who are often taken advantage of by the systemic nature. OR a million other things that need some fixing in education with relation to the law.

In one word it's called meritocracy as explained through "upbringing, genetics, and personality type". These tests were created to keep certain people out of higher education and certain fields. Research has proven they are not a predictor of success so it's pretty bogus we're expected to put ourselves through so much to achieve a score to get into a school, when in reality some of the highest scorers actually don't finish law school. It drives me insane that I know I have to pay money in order to learn how to take this test. That means that others who cannot afford to do so will not be nearly as successful unless their cultural capital allows them to be by way of upbringing and who they are surrounded by / genetics. Le sigh. But alas, here I am, giving into the system.

Dammit, I'm an idiot. Went to fast and completely overlooked the THC and marijuana difference. Like, I literally studied this at one point. DUH. SLOW DOWN.

Screw this question being labeled as easy, because I feel like an idiot for not catching the assumption of decision making and person and then having to select an answer related to infants. eye roll I honestly just picked an answer because I had no clue. Sometimes I feel like I don't know what to assume or not assume, did I miss something in the curriculum that helps me with this or is this just a practice thing.

Nope, he stated that just because an answer choice is directly saying the same thing as a premise in the stimulus that does not mean it's the right answer for MSS questions. Sure it makes sense, but it does not mean it's most strongly supported by the entire stimulus passage, it's just a rephrasing of what was already said. So in this case, D made sense to me because of my assumption that we as readers interpret things differently. Just like my and yours understanding of this question based on what JY has said. This is the only one I got wrong after I got the hang of it, so I'm not too hung up on it. Just kind of annoying.

Answer B to me seems like it is exactly saying the same thing as the final sentence in the stimulus, which in prior lessons, JY stated that isn't correct. So I chose D since I assumed that all readers are capable of interpreting something differently there for "will always" wasn't necessarily too finite of a quantified answer.

@leahbeuk911 Thank you! And I wasn't planning to jump around, although I do understand that I shouldn't necessarily do ALL the problem sets in each module and save some for drilling or to come back to as I keep studying? Do you recommend that? Right now I'm already struggling on MSS questions just in watching JY explain them. There's 10 problem sets with my course material, should I plan to do all 10 or save some for drilling? I'm also wondering where I need to go back to in order to feel comfortable in this question type. I was doing well with MP/MC questions (could do better - but I know that stems from grammar/indicators). I've already pinpointed that issue. Any further advice would be helpful! I am a regimented person so jumping around to other resources doesn't seem like a good thing for my learning style.

Thank you all for your comments, it's appreciated.
