Preparing for LSAT Writing

I know people don't generally make a fuss about the writing portion but what is the best way to prepare?

I know the prompt generally presents two 'criteria' and two 'plans.' Does it matter whether we recognize the criteria or plan as the main point of the argument? For example, do you have to argue that CRITERIA 1 is more important than CRITERIA 2 or PLAN A over PLAN B and consider the criteria - because one could feasibly argue that you are able to achieve both criteria 1 and 2 with one plan (could argue that long-term financial stability will yield the most profits over time). Or is that seen as not being decisive enough with your argument?

I greatly struggled with this passage. I think question #27 exploits most of my issues with the passage.

#27 I narrowed it down to E and B and chose E.

-How do you conclude whether "cohesiveness" is a sufficient or necessary condition of groupthink?

- I personally concluded that groupthink's definition was the deferral of answers to the group - whether it is because of high cohesion (deferral due to high trust) or low cohesion (deferral due to fear). Can you better explain why this is wrong or misguided?

- I also thought B made the assumption that group cohesion is necessary to address all relevant options. I thought the passage suggested it was sufficient. Is there a sentence that suggests it is one or the other? Or does answer choice B suggest it actually is sufficient because the word 'difficult' suggests that other things may lead to the conclusion of 'consider all relevant options'?

It is in the first paragraph, line 9-15! They introduce the fact that most memoirs were released after the war, therefore some historians believe they could contain factual inaccuracies. In this they also mention more Royalists than Republicans published books because Republicans "risked political sanctions."

Hope this helps!

#help I chose answer choice C because I doubted myself that A was too obvious. However, I am having a hard time grasping why it is obviously wrong. Can someone please confirm that this is why it is incorrect?

Stimulus is A→B→C; C→A

Answer choice C:

Horns → Intraspecies Combat

Horns → /Predators

----------------------------------------------

Intraspecies Combat → /Predator

Q13. What is an experimental apparatus? Literally it is materials that make change. Please explain why this is wrong... This is literally why I hate the science portion of the test. #Help

I have a question about J.Y's explanation of choice A. He read "confuses a condition being required (or a necessary condition)" While the author may have accidentally confused the necessary condition of survival as a sufficient condition, doesn't the word 'required' signify a sufficient condition?
