@ Not OP, but when you say "take a look at the LR questions you're weakest on", would you recommend going over actual questions we've missed or just the type of question we're missing most, with new stimuli?

Curious because I see this advice a fair amount and am not sure if I should be going over previously missed questions months/weeks down the line.

Have been PTing far beyond the original goal I set. EVERY. TIME. I see those results I experience an hour of excitement followed by a day or two of low-grade depression. It's exactly what you're describing; doubts about my performance on the real test, convincing myself it was an easy PT and I just got lucky, etc.

I like to remind myself that from a capitalist standpoint it's not in the best interest of the service I'm paying $100/mo for to stroke my ego with easy PTs. I am the only subjective part of this process. Everything else is just numbers, from 7Sage to the LSAC. Doing well is not an opinion, it's a statistical measure. And that includes PTs.

And then as the above commenter said, the only thing you have left to focus on is vibes.

For me this has meant a different diet (cutting out any sugar pre-studying since I'm very sensitive to it), a couple new exercise options that are more entertaining than my usual, getting completely sober (to eliminate big dips in serotonin), and making sure I have time devoted to "just screwing around" that isn't grinding on the LSAT, exercising, doing chores or working.

E isn't correct because (for the purposes of the question) the stimulus doesn't really introduce a sufficient or necessary condition in a way that's vital to the argument, so that can't be the flaw.

This becomes more clear in the last sentence: "the musical character of the performance, therefore, is the main reason for its longevity". The author is making a huge jump from correlation (the poem still being performed and it being sung instead of recited) to causation (that's THE REASON for its longevity).

The flaw isn't in any form of an if -> then statement. That's the simplest way to describe it.

I'm curious what you identified as the sufficient and necessary conditions in the stimulus, I might be able to explain further with that info.

I'd love to join, I'm in the ~171 range and am trying to whittle things down to ~175.

Also sipping something that has a low amount of sugar (I do fruit juice cut with a lot of water) has helped me maintain blood glucose that, when low, contributes to focus issues/headaches/etc.

Kinda silly but those little gel packets that runners use during marathons that are just sugar/vitamins/electrolytes are good during the 10 minute break and won't bog you down.

Are you sure?
