Are you guys that are working full time all studying in the morning? I've been studying at night, and it goes well, but certainly makes it hard to wake up early. Maybe I've been doing this backwards!

Would "E" be considered a necessary assumption for this argument?

Thank you, for this! I'm still reading through, but wanted to mention that under the "conditional logic" section E.g., see PT54/4/16 good hunter/ cats question..... this is PT5/2/16. Thought I was losing my mind for a minute, after doing Sect 4!

Sidenote, on Phenomenon Notes: This is a really good example. PT55/1/7. I don't dig down and eliminate overly broad, clearly wrong answers fast enough. The conclusion is "The legislation, therefore, has increased overall worker safety within HIGH RISK industries." Oh, if only the LSAT writers would capitalize like that.... What weakens the argument? We can immediately cross out anything that talks about all industry or some industry and not specifically HIGH RISK industry. Maybe this is an obvious point for most people, but looking at the question again I think I just had an epiphany @ ! That is how you get faster and gain confidence.

Answer E seemed too obvious, and I feared I was using some sort of outside knowledge. So I chose "B," knowing that it was a convoluted answer that didn't exactly fit the stimulus. Does anyone else run into this about second-guessing what looks "obvious" or worrying about somehow letting outside knowledge sway your answer choice?

Logical Negation

I'm starting to confuse myself. Can someone clarify how they would do a logical negation of this for the NA Negation Technique?

"Any candidate whose visual image does not evoke many positive feelings in votes will not be elected."

Any candidate whose visual image does evoke positive feelings in votes will be elected.

Or

No candidate whose visual image does not evoke many positive feelings in votes will not be elected.

Has anyone tried Staedtler Wopex Pre-Sharpened HB#2 Eco Pencils ?

I know a number of people recommend the Staedtler Norica. Are they a lot different? I really DO NOT like these eco pencils - automatic sharpeners basically eat them and they break easily.

I think it's all about making the answers appear more obvious to you. If you do enough PTs, the patterns become apparent; and you find yourself going fast and staying interested. The RC section is just hard - I still get very distracted, but I'm trying to let myself have 10 minutes for reading and questions, so I can then slowly push myself into the time limit.

I think it's definitely possible to do well with ADHD, but I do think we have to work a little harder. I've found the question type problem sets to be very helpful, maybe more so than taking whole sections (which I did when first studying). I've read all the "LSAT Bible" books and am now going through everything with 7sage. You just have to figure out what works for you, and will help you learn and keep your attention the best.

Best of luck!

Hey @ !

You're not alone! I am in the same boat. Doing okay on the other sections but timing is a huge problem for me in RC, even if I'm getting through the passages in 4 min or less.

Going to check out The LSAT Trainer, let me know if you do and what you think.

Definitely attending! Until then...any tips on attacking LR over the weekend? I am suck in a 7-8 wrong loop, and I don't know why. I don't have problems with LG or RC. The worst part is I do blind review and the answers for LR are obvious to me. Maybe I'm freaking out about time? I'm already trying the LR in 40 min, not 35. And I have a really hard time making myself skip.

Any suggestions, greatly appreciated.

Thoughts about POE before reading all the answers? I read the stimulus again, and was struck by the conclusion being so firm on the ancestor aspect (although obviously this is what she was testing). Wouldn't it be a valid strategy to eliminate any answer that doesn't mention "ancestor" or "biological order"? Gets you down to B and D within seconds.

Would you call this a PSA or a CNBT ?
