The white noise/background sounds are helpful but I’d highly recommend actually taking the tests in a distracting environment. A public library is IMO the closest you can come to approximating test conditions. I recommend taking them in a variety of places so that no matter what happens on test day, you’ll be ready. Take some in complete silence. Take some in a library. Take some in a Starbucks or a mall. Mix it up! There’s no telling what level of distractions you’ll have on test day.
Thank you! I am actually going to take a practice LSAT tomorrow at the public library to see how it goes.
I just downloaded the 7Sage app and I'm curious what to set the background and distraction levels to in order to simulate a realistic exam setting. I usually study in complete silence, but this isn't how it'll be when I take the LSAT in July. Any suggestions on settings would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
#help I'm still confused about this question. I chose D initially, and in the BR I stuck with D.
My reasoning:
A) didn't seem relevant because the question focuses on Cognitive Psychotherapy and conscious beliefs.
B) I felt that is was repetitive to the Premise/Conclusion, and wasn't adding anything new to strengthen.
C) saying that CP is the only method of psychotherapy for conscious beliefs doesn't mean it is effective.
D) It strengthened my belief that CP is more effective, but now as I write this, it seems to be that the word "helps" weakens the statement, because it is not directly focusing on CP and conscious belief.
E) Irrelevant. Don't care about other psychological states.
I think I just was really overwhelmed by the jargon. I think the word "focusing" in B is the key to understanding why it's the right/best choice. It emphasizes the effectiveness of CP with respect to conscious beliefs. Whereas D's use of the word "helps" isn't as strong a descriptor of CP's effectiveness.
