didn't need Q21 to call me out on my American worldview lolll

pain

Got this correct during the test but just realized I spent almost 4.5 mins on it..

you know you're too far down the lsat rabbit hole when you start questioning #4..

I noticed a huge drop in my scores between the 70s and 80s, specifically on LR. I've seen others mention that it just takes getting used to. If you feel burnt out take a break, but just remember your skills don't just "disappear"; you've clearly worked hard and have seen a massive improvement. Good luck on June's test!

I honestly think the importance of a cold diagnostic is overstated. Unless you've never taken a standardized test before in your life, I don't see the benefit of sitting down for a timed test that you have absolutely no idea how to approach (I remember trying to do logic games in my head lol!). Plus, a diagnostic score also may influence how much studying you think you need to do: my diagnostic was a 159, which made me think I would only need a couple of months to start consistently breaking 170. I was wrong lol. Just go through the CC, do practice sets, old sections, and then when you're ready start doing timed PTs. I didn't start getting familiar with patterns on the test for a while, and I don't think a diagnostic helps speed up that process.

first preponderance and now amorphous.. pt 67 is telling me I still read at an 8th grade level -.-

I knew the flaw was something along the lines of improved health leads to fewer visits, books lead to fewer visits, but books may not lead to improved health (cause what if the book was a holistic medicine thing).. so I was stuck between C and D and went with C. now I see why D is correct, but it's so difficult under timed conditions to know which "state of affairs" and "effects" the ac refers to in the stim.

this problem is a great reminder to read exactly what the stim says, not what you want it to say.

#help Q2 made me think: if an author cites OPA, then is it descriptively accurate to say "the author questions the validity of a claim..." ?

peevish

The problem I had with D, understanding the whole (free product but you gotta pay $$ for handling) was the fact that the cost of a month supply of vitamins is never addressed. it just makes sense that this would be the most expensive part, their actual product. I guess we just have to weaken it a little, but still, I feel like D had too many assumptions to make.

by the time I got to E, I somehow confused one of the requirements: the stim says highest price, and I confused it with highest bidder (E seemed wrong bc even w/ restrictions it can still go to the highest bidder, except this wasn't the requirement!!)

I think it's five pieces of paper and the way you use them is up to you.

yep!

the way b was phrased made it seem so awkward to me and not just the typical "affirm necessary, conclude sufficient" flaw.. idk.. note to stop overthinking questions in the 20-25 range that are "too easy"

I think B is simply eliminated bc it's not descriptively accurate. "...from the fact that it's absence has always lead to failure", except the stim. doesn't say this. It says "when gov. have fallen" its bc of the absence.

yea I just skipped this one

did this 7/7 timed but still have no idea what I read... never underestimate the power of POE lol

I chose A but I still hate this question. It was an accident during glass production, which is why both Han purple and white glass were in the same region. But all the conclusion is talking about is the discovery. Once discovered, the Han purple could be produced wherever, so I don't think it helps to strengthen as much as it (sorta?) is a defense against Han purple and white glass never being found together. It would have been better if it said the OLDEST pigments of Han purple were found in the same area as white glass. idk.

@ honestly im not the best person to ask this question lol, I would just get a solid grasp of the fundamentals and then take a bunch of pts and review them. There’s lots of good, more specific advice from qualified people who scored really well in the discussion forum. *I do like looking at the comments underneath explanation videos bc some people go really in depth. Good luck!

I had to re-read that. Three practice tests PER DAY ?! Looks like it has been working for you but wow, I could never lol

@ thank you!

because the lsat is just analyzing the structure of arguments, it is sometimes funny to take a step back and realize the absurdity of some of these arguments in terms of content.. This one is literally "Oh carbon dioxide in atmosphere a problem?" "Just hide it in the ocean for a bit." like wha-

literally noticed it while I was doing a lg section.. it still eliminates if you click somewhere in the general direction of where it once was, but I'm assuming it's just a glitch and will be fixed soon lol
