I agree. I, too thought E could be right but doubled down with C being correct in both my first and second attempt. We have to remember that with the LSAT, we must choose the BEST/BETTER answer. I almost chose E but I realized that Larissa was NOT charging/accusing Walter with falling short. She is agreeing with him, but for a different reason. She says x is wrong because of A, not B. C is the better answer here.

Yep, don't assume unless asked to do so. I too chose E ;/

I will be honest, I was between B and D. Ultimately, I chose the latter because with B you have to do some assuming and so, I chose not to go with answer choice B.

The best feeling is getting a question labeled 4/5 difficulty correct!

Ditto! It would be one to skip and save at the end.

As a side note, B is also wrong because it states "widely accepted belief". In the stimulus, we are told "some people".

In hindsight this was an easy question, but I felt the stimulus was wordy which tripped me up. I kept re-reading it and got confused. After doing this BR, I was able to get it

Answering for someone else who might have this exact question. I'd say you could have an assumption answer choice. That is, if the excerpt is regarding an assumption.

Sure!

As someone who works full-time and is also studying for the LSAT, I've been studying after 5pm. However, I heard the best time to study from most with a full-time job is during the morning. The reasoning is due to lack of motivation/tiredness after work.

I am going to start studying in the early morning (7am-8am), even though I value my sleep... maybe this will help me stay focused better. Becuase after 5pm, I am literally TIRED! Furthermore, I've always liked mornings (nothing before 9am) to study. I tend to study better mornings to afternoon in all honesty.

So I'll need to just suck it up and try early mornings and go to bed a little earlier. An hour or two before work is literally 5-10 hours, M-F and then you can study way more on the weekends of course.

When it comes close to test time as @mesposito886426 has stated, I def plan to reduce my hours and/or use PTO for certain days. If it means me getting into law school, I'll do it.

Also try studying on your lunch break and if your job is lenient, maybe when/if you have down time.

All the best (3(/p)

Omg yes, I agree with the stimulus’ of these questions being so wordy.

For now, I’m using the practice sets untimed for SA questions. It seems I’m at least getting a decent amount right when untimed. As soon as the questions are timed, I immediately panic. I have yet to take an official test as I’m trying to finish this course completely and then I’ll take the test.

I’m trying a different approach than what I previously did with another prep course, taking tests weekly/biweekly.

Wanting something so bad and feeling like it’s so far away. Ugh! But I continue to not give up and I guess that’s what keeps me going through this prep.

LOL! It’s me confidentially answering these questions wrong…

I was in the right mindset with the logic but I separated my EPp as EP -> /P.

These subsets will be the death of me.

Thank you for this explanation. It’s just what I needed.

Not five times, but I’ve taken it at least 3 times. First time as a starting indicator after I took a prep course, second time, I rushed and wasn’t ready and regret It.

The advice I’d give is take it when you’re read and I’m living by that this time around. I keep pushing my test back and although family members keep asking the most annoying question of all (When are you going to take the test/get into law school?) one day they’ll understand why I did what I did.

I was going to take the test in November, but I don’t think that’s realistic as I still have more studying to do and I’ll need to gauge what my scores on the prep tests will be. I am saving the prep tests for the end until I learn all the material.

I’m taking new approaches than I did last time and I genuinely believe this course will help me get in. You can do it! Go at your own speed and don’t doubt yourself.

Awesomesauce! I will definitely be joining. Ty for sharing.

Thanks for making this post. I feel I might need it later down the road and these comments are super helpful.

Hi, that is perfectly okay.

Rough voyage essentially translates to a difficult trip/journey. A rough voyage by sea could mean the ship going over huge waves causing people to get sea sick easier, etc.

Now THESE are the type of stories I love to read. Congrats! I too have been in it for 3 years on and off, but I'm more serious this time around. Hoping to bring good news just as you have. Good job!

This is definitely one of those questions I'd leave for later...

Great example that now looking back, it makes sense why A isn't right.

I actually chose B then blind review chose A.

Hey, do NOT sell yourself short. We are all struggling (in different aspects of the test) and that's why we are taking this prep course.

Timing is affecting me too, BUT when you're learning the skills, slowing down is important. Time will come along. I also think doing the practice sets vs an actual test might prove to be different, so I am thinking positively about my timing for now.

Each question on the test is worth the same, so always answer the easy and medium difficulty questions first. Hard questions, save for last. A hard question would be defined as anything where you catch yourself re-reading the stimulus many times or trying to decipher it.

I've been studying for the LSAT for a bit now and used to use 7sage when they had YT videos to explain questions for free. I finally caved and purchased the prep course and I'm seeing positive results. All I can say is be positive, drill and drill some more. I'm starting to like this course much better than Power Score tbh. PS was helpful as a starting point, but JY teaches so many necessary skills that I cannot believe I didn't learn before.

If you ever need help or motivation, just reach out.

Except questions doesn't mean that you do the opposite per se. The correct answer choice in these types of questions might not have any impact or it could be completely irrelevant to the passage and this is why it's the correct answer in a strengthen/weaken except question.

So a strengthen except question's correct answer could be a weaken answer, no impact, or an irrelevant a.c.

A weaken except question's correct answer could be a strengthen, no impact, or irrelevant a.c.
