I'm so lost. This is the first time I've felt like I hit a mental brick wall.

I hate when the answer choices are just as long as the stimmy :(

The sheer number of words in these can be daunting.

Ok but how did they get the 40 ton ones down there?

Asking the pros - is there ever a time where a stimulus uses reasoning by analogy and the correct answer to weaken it ISN'T attacking the analogy?

The longer I read the stimulus the more it felt like it might be talking about me.

@IsabelSafar It's dumb but I've used this strategy for every test I've ever taken. Substitute the unknown word with a nonsense word, and you can get a good idea of how the word is being used, if not it's definition.

For example, I might reread the stimulus as:

"The mild winter also allowed many species to stay in their summer range all winter without migrating south, thereby limiting the usual waffles accompanying migration. Hence, last year's mild winter is responsible for this year's larger-than-usual bird population."

Waffles must be bad. Its implied that if there are waffles accompanying migration, there's less birds at the end of the migration.

@mrunordinary You might be able to get extra time from a doctor.

I am once again noticing a correlation between the number of comments and the difficulty of the question.

I got it right on accident, but it was a guess. I mistranslated the "unless" clause to mean that decreased congestion is necessary for increased profits.

Time to go back and review!

You know you're in for it bad when there's tons of comments

@Mina.G Same. B is tricky.

For me A was a little tricky because on first read, the last sentence sort of seemed to imply that cable was catching up to broadcast by allowing worldwide viewing.

Giving it another read I realized there's not really anything to support that broadcast was viewable or expanding worldwide.

@MattStickles Agreed! I actually think it would be especially nice to have them in the skill builders. I crush those, but once I'm faced with diagraming an actual LSAT stimulus I'm totally lost.

I'm cooked
