Does anyone have a wrong answer journal sample they can share for LR & RC and explain how they incorporate it in their studies?

i feel like Jay is sooo advanced at this that sometimes he doesn't realize something isn't as obvious as it seems so he will tell you an answer is "obviously" wrong or flat-out rule it out without explaining

I picked the right choice, but I feel like the explanation of B is making an assumption. The only fact we are provided is that the eruption causes abnormal cold temperatures for a year or more. Making other interpretations and "may be" scenarios besides what has been provided bleeds into unsupported assumptions. We don't know that cold temperatures surrounding the area last less than a year, and the areas further away last a year or longer, because this specification isn't included in the argument. How far away and the distance they cover is not something we're given in the argument. I chose D because the conclusion of the argument focused on distance, and D fills that gap.

I love it when a question plays mental gymnastics on you, then you finally get it. I answered this as a strengthen question and got it right but learned a lot from this explanation.
The author reports a speculative conclusion based on a phenomenon. The author herself counters that assertion: only reproductive success of a trait. She applies it to the analysis that was speculated upon in the first sentence as the only possible account for that phenomenon.
D basically rules out the first explanation
The shocking moment you're going through a passage, and totally certain you're going to get at least half the answers wrong but end up getting a perfect score. I closed my laptop and went to bed.

Was studying for the LSAT while engaged. Let's just say I'm single now lmaoo
I want to try using tougher non-lsat passages to create questions. Each member will be assigned a question type to create with the same passage. Only message if you are serious and willing to commit, as this will require a group chat and a virtual meet-up to discuss approaches. If you can't turn your camera on to engage, and can't commit to meeting times, don't message. Personally I average -5 and this group will be more effective if the average gaps are very wide. From explaining answer choices to approaches, and sharing different way to tackle question stems, diverse averages will actually work best. Planning to sit for June but will reconsider if I'm not ready
I have a diagramming problem. I can fly through a complex question stem without diagraming, particularly on parallel reasoning and other LR questions but some harder former questions require diagramming and I can diagram for the live of me. Any tips on the cc?

Definitely don't test back to back like that. Only register when you're averaging around your target score for the last 10 consecutive tests. The LSAT really test your patience as a human. I've been at this for years and I'm not even sure how I will react the day I get my score and finally close this chapter

Hello,
Looking to build a small group. Aiming for January here. No rush. This group will have a shared google docs where we will upload our scores. We will track and target each other's weaknesses. I've designed a format that will evaluate the effectiveness of this strategy. We will also work on writing our own LSAT questions on reading comp. Lawd knows I hate that section to the bloodstream. We will also take full PTs virtually together. I'm no LSAT expert. I bombed my first test 150. I want to master consistency and discipline.

The test got progressively difficult as the years went by, though the concept is still the same. Understandably so, they have to find ways to make it more challenging when almost every test taker has the basics and format figured out
Is there a specific section in the CC that teaches diagraming? I can do brain gymnastics pretty well but conditional diagramming isn't my thing. Any help will be appreciated.

I'll say don't Test day pressure is something that also has to be mastered.

That was happening to me, too. No matter how many times I reminded myself to focus on key words, and not misread, I still would.
I finally decided to start giving myself more time to do a section to reinforce good reading, and other test taking habits. It’s definitely helping… we’ll see if it sticks when I start giving myself less time!
I'll try that. I'm slated for August and afraid may not be ready and I would hate not to hit my target score because I have a details issue. Good luck to us both
The questions i'm getting wrong on LR aren't because I don't know what I'm doing. They're because I keep missing minor details in the stimulus. Any tips on how to overcome this?
These 90's games are ridiculous. Should I be concerned I can't maintain my average games pt 30 and below. The wording be having me think if a dumb b!tch exists somewhere in me and comes out from time to time.

Did anyone have a 140 Diagnostic and then improve? Please share your stories!! I need some inspo!

While difficult, it's not impossible. 148 diagnostic. On a good day, I can score 180 untimed. I bombed my last timed so I don't even know what my average is at this point lol. It's just a time-consuming process lol
I'm fairly good at LSAT and can pretty much -0 my way in any section on a good day. The moment the timer goes on, it can drop to as low as -11. I've been at this for 10 months; full-time devotion and looking back, I feel grossly disappointed in myself. This was the first time I really took a chance on myself; committed 100% to something. Yet, my score doesn't improve. I'm running out of PTs. I haven't had a good sleep since I started about a year ago {because that's how bad I want it }and now I feel like it's slipping out of my hands. How do you decide, "I'll just settle with what I have and take the test?" I'm not too sure because the timed sections aren't representative of my potential-but the reality is that it's a timed exam with added test day pressure.

If it gives you any hope, eventually it goes away. I used to go from a near perfect timed section to almost zero on BR because I wasn't confident in my answers and 2nd guessed myself crazy. I went from working my way from wrong to right (via POE ) to simply scanning for the right answer, proving it and moving on. I don't even check for the other choices. Overtime, you build confidence to master passages, though it takes time.
For 12, I flagged B as a point the author was arguing the exact opposite, only for me to glance over it and pick something else lol.
E is wrong because the tenets of institutional authority do NOT change. In the example provided, citing legal systems, institutional authority did NOT change. Intellectual authority WAS EMPLOYED, supporting the author's assertion that legal institutions, while primarily possessing institutional authority, contain some degree of intellectual authority.
D is wrong for the same reason. The framework of institutional authority does not change. What changes are legal systems who are primarily wield institutional authority. They employ intellectual authority due to a range of reasons; evolving social norms, badly-reasoned decisions, etc...
Think about the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and how legal institutions decided on cases before and after, and this becomes a really fun passage.
