LSAT · Making stupid mistakes on LSAT questions

I have this problem too! I found that one helpful way of mitigating it is to highlight the key words -- I start by reading the stimulus and highlighting any key words in it (weaken, only, except, etc), then I read the actual material, and then I go through the answer choices and highlight key words on the ones that I don't eliminate. That way, it's really easy to cross-reference what I'm looking for, and the key words will catch my eye if I'm re-skimming over the stimulus or questions.

So glad to see someone else in the same boat 😭 I studied for a couple months before the September LSAT and ended up scoring 1 point lower than my last test Nov 2024... what a blow :(

The advice I've heard so far is to not cancel scores unless they're really really bad? If you have a lower score on record right now, but do better the next time you take it, it'll show dedication/commitment to improvement... at least that's what I've heard!

Anyways, you've got this! That high score is coming your way :)

Not sure if this will help, but for LR, I usually start on problem 15 (ish), go to the last one, then do 1-15. I find that this helps because they *normally* put the easier questions at the beginning, so by the time my brain is getting tired, it's answering the easier ones rather than the harder ones!

Hi!

I'm going to be retaking the LSAT in November, and I'm looking for a study buddy to practice with and to help hold each other accountable! I'm in Colorado, but have no preference for in-person or virtual. My last score was a 170, but I really would like to break through the 170s -- I'd love to study with someone with a similar goal!

My current study schedule is ~3 hours a day (roughly from 3 PM - 6 PM), with full PTs on Thursday/Saturday. I really want to hit that grind 🤞

I look forward to connecting with you! :)

I was in between A and B and ended up choosing A for the following reason:

The question is asking which of the following is least relevant in evaluating the degree of practicability

While A is relevant to the argument, I don't think that it is a consideration that will affect the practicability of the activist's hope. Whether the current methods do considerable environmental damage or no environmental damage has no impact on the practicability of this hope. 

On the other hand, the answer to B would be helpful in evaluating the practicability of the activist's hope. If the processes behind making sewage sludge (what we'll need to derive oil) have improved, then that makes the activist's hope that much more feasible and practicable.

So I'm not sure I understand why B is right and A is wrong. If the question had asked for what was least relevant in evaluating the argument, it would make sense for the answer choice to be B. But it asked to evaluate the practicability. #help

If the right answer is normally your initial answer, what makes you change it? Is it kinda going back and forth between two options and thinking "Well, maybe this one sounds a little more right"? I know that was the case for me -- I fixed it by setting a hard limit for myself: The only reason I could change my answer would be if I found evidence that the one I had initially selected was wrong. That really helped with my second-guessing! Hopefully this helps a little and good luck!!
