@Studiousstudent that's what i saw as well but i assumed that you needed that for taking it in person but that maybe they'd allow remote tests to read aloud
Is it okay to read aloud when taking the test remotely? I know they monitor my computer and webcam, and wanted to make sure that wouldn't be seen as cheating or anything?
I've found that I score much better on reading comp when I read aloud than when I don't.
Not sure if this is the correct way to go about things but I just eliminated B, C, and D, and honestly couldn't really parse what both A and E were saying but saw "never" in A and eliminated it for being too strong since the stimulus doesn't use absolute terms like that.
@JoelKeenan I think that's the big thing that's tripped me up is which one am I even supposed to approach first! This definitely helps clarify that so thank you!
Since starting my practice drill I have seen soooooo many sentences in LR that feature the use of a Group 3 and Group 4 indicator in one sentence and truly cannot (see what I did there) figure out how to translate them into lawgic. Does anyone have any tips or loopholes on this?
Here's an Example:
"Major meteor impacts and mass extinctions cannot be consistently causally linked unless many mass extinctions have followed major meteor impacts."
I really don't like this question because I feel like you can't classify that experiment as indirect evidence that they have mass. The experiment proved they have mass. Sure they didn't say what specific mass, but the experiment proved, directly (at least to me), that they have mass.... ANGER
@MarcusTsang I'll definitely give it a shot the next time I dive into RC drills! Thank you for your response! :)
I've finished the reading comprehension curriculum and have always been under the impression that we should create the low-res summary in our head (which has been difficult for me but I'm trying to get better at it to save time). Is anyone writing them down and finding they have enough time to answer. I've been struggling with the timing the most on these RC questions, so wondered if you all had any strategies?
@ReaganPressley It sounded to me like you could do either, but I feel like I'll probably just wait until the passage. Based on my understanding, you could take a pass at the answers and if there's anything that Passage A didn't state, or have an opinion on, you could get rid of it. But you might only be able to get rid of one answer on a pass but you'd also be able to get an understanding of how the author of Passage A feels before diving into Passage B so that also gives you a bit of a headstart on those answers. But I think it's just up to your preference.
@b_farmer12 My understanding is that before the test, we should decide if we want to go into comparative passages with the split approach or the sequential approach. They want us to practice using both and see which one we prefer when it comes to test time.
Saw this module was devoid of comments so just wanted to come on here and say hey everyone, hope you're doing well today! :)
Did worse on the level one difficulty passage than I did on the level four difficulty passage.... Make it make sense :(
@AidenG123 high key I've been reading out loud and it helps me to stay focused and then I nod my head when I read something that I think might be a main point, or a certain perspective shift. Probably gonna have to shift away from this to save more time but just something I've been doing that helps my ADHD rattled brain.
@ctrue22 B also said "only if" so I think it was just lucky! I've done that before and picked language that was most similar to the stimulus and been incorrect. I think LSAT writers like to try and trick you with that.
Something that I just now noticed really helped me on the ones I thought could be right was rearranging the language in the answer choice to match the stimulus. So when I got to E I flipped it around in my head and said "When other people's children come to visit, parents give out more snacks than usual. Therefore, we know that most of the snacks parents buy go to other people's children."
Would it have also been correct to eliminate A because they just say "Ben" without confirming he's an Artisan? Cause doesn't it have to say something like: "Ben, who is an artisan,..."?
Reading the question actually made me cackle a bit, like who tf would make the argument that almost everyone in the country wants to be a youtuber because a lot of their friends wants to be a youtuber?! Needed this.
This reminds me of when I used to cross my eyes and everyone would say they'll get stuck like that.
love getting the lowest difficulty question wrong and all the others right :)
@CollinMcGrath Did the exact same thing.
