How dare they ask me to read in a lesson module called "reading comprehension!"
I can't believe I actually finished! Time for the final phase!
I read the LSAT Trainer, all 3 Power Score Bibles, and the Loophole. I even used Khan Academy back when they still had it. I definitely found 7Sage the most helpful out of everything. I'm going to stick with this place for practice tests and drills as I close out this long, long journey. Thank you so much!
"Which I hear is popular among certain types." Hmm...
Lol, Kevin's so funny!
Passage B is really gameplaying. The facts are an objective reality. Interpretation and argumentation are something else. Only my narcistic ex thought reality could be argued away
Studying for the LSAT is an emotional roller coaster. One minute I'm bummed because I missed a level two question, the next minute I'm happy because I nailed a level 5 question. This is why I have been cycling between states of burnout and frantic energy throughout this entire process. I gotta learn to be cool calm and collect no matter what.
Yaass, academic cattiness. You tell it like it is critic. I need some drama to give me the dose of dopamine I need to get through these dense passages. Not quite Real Housewives but I'll take it. Reading about smart people being catty is on a whole other level
I chose D because in the final paragraph a comparison is made between the New Women and the Local Colorists: "instead of the crisply plotted short stories that had been the primary genre of the local colorists, the New Women writers experimented with impressionistic methods." Since we know Chopin borrowed the conventions of the LC, I assumed strong plotlines would have been one of those conventions if strong plotlines were their primary genre
I wanna read Kevin's novel. I need some drama in my life. Something besides the existential worry and panic that comes from studying for the LSAT and questioning your intelligence and life choices
I wanna cry. This whole process is so intense
Seals are literally my favorite animal. Leave them alone
Bring back the science passages! At least they made me question my intelligence. I'm a sucker for punishment if you didn't know
Answering LSAT questions is a lot like finding a boyfriend or girlfriend. I look at all my options and eventually feel an attraction and connection with one of them. I don't have a lot of time, but something in my subconscious draws me to it. But then I get this weird feeling, and I hesitate because I don't want to pick the wrong one and regret my decision later
The "problem" presented in the passage is that the specialists are wrong? The solution is that they need to do research so they can see things like the author and be right?
Well, it's nice to know that if my writing sucks because I make overly long paragraphs that fail to properly break up and organize information in a digestible fashion for my readers, I can just become an LSAT writer.
My modern, social media addicted, chronically online brain can't imagine doing something so tedious and slow paced all day long. I gotta go fast, you know? And I'm always in a hurry to just get to the point
I spent too long staring B in the face thinking it was some sort of trap because I was unsure of the meaning of "until." I was thinking the "modern method" we use today started in the 19th century, so the 19th century method and modern method mentioned in B were one in the same. I only chose B because the others were just too outlandish. This test makes me so paranoid
I was home schooled in a conservative Christian context and my teachers hated teaching anything that wasn't Biblical. They taught evolution in order to follow the law, but they always kind of winked and said the Bible was the true story. I find scientific explanations far more interesting
Heh, I love Kevin's humor
Reading the passage and answering questions about what it said is pretty straight forward. It's when they want you to read OFF the page that things can go awry. Inferring information about what the author's attitude is or what they're likely to believe as a result of their beliefs drives me crazy!
#feedback More study breaks like this that maybe expand on topics presented in the LSAT questions would be nice!
There was so much work and analysis in the text that was mostly glossed over in the video. If all of the videos are going to be different from the texts, I'll just read the texts for the RC curriculum, so I don't miss anything. I probably need to recondition myself to read dense texts again anyway. College was a few years ago at this point
