Hi, would love to join! I'm studying for October as well
This is what worked for me, but everyone is different! I studied for ~2 years and started doing the below only a few months ago and it helped an insane amount.
The best studying technique for LR I used was doing untimed sections with a word document up and for every question do this:
Type of question
Conclusion:
Premise:
Prephrase/Thoughts:
Answer Choice Picked:
Reasoning/Why the other answers are wrong: (go through a-e and say why they're wrong and why the one you think is right is correc)
Don't do a blind review then go through Jy's explanations for each of the ones you got wrong and figure out WHY your reasoning for the answer choice you picked was wrong.
The whole thing is really time consuming but it helps a lot to figure out why you got things wrong and fix the reasoning behind it.
Q22-
As someone who is an amateur ornithologist, the last two sentences make sense and the answer choice is what makes no sense. If we increase the number of bird species by splitting, (some of which are endangered) into MORE species of birds, it'll potentially require these scientists to get new species recognized as endangered. If it's becoming increasingly difficult to get these birds protected internationally, there are going to be political and economic stakes. For lumping, if you just continue to lump species into other species, birds that are endangered become labeled as not endangered and vice versa. If it's internationally more difficult, there will, again, be more bird species (maybe within another species) that deserve the endangered label that don't receive it.
don't mind me im pissy and put way too much thought into this one question.
Interested as well!!!
