I'm gonna try to put this into my own words.

World view: Don't worry we can produce more food than the rate of population increase.

Malthus: Lol no actually you're wrong World, there's gonna be insufficient food that will doom us.

Author: Yeah you know what? I actually kind of agree with Malthus but kind of don't. I think RIGHT NOW we're okay on the food production but EVENTUALLY we're gonna be screwed and we're gonna experience what Malthus predicted.

Author's reasoning: Why do I think that? well because biodiversity will decrease which means we literally cannot produce food.

Question stem: So what is the role that the WORLD VIEW plays in the entire argument?

Answer choice D: It's a general fact that the argument offers reasons to believe will EVENTUALLY change. Yes, author thinks the World view will eventually change into Malthus view.

Answer choice C: It's an observation that supports Malthus' position. No no no, the world view and Malthus' view are very different. World view is saying chill out we're gonna be fine on food and Malthus' is like no we're gonna be short on food and it's gonna cause wars. So how could World view support Malthus' view?

Basically this question had me do mental gymnastics and I would definitely skip in during timed run.

something about A was calling my name but of course I was like "nah no way in hell that's the right answer" ugh

no weak sauce, we want strong sauce got it

soooooo the quorum can't last 30 minutes? ugh god Idk if I hate my realistic brain or the LSAT

I definitely misunderstood the stimulus.. oh my god I thought the highway went from downtown to the suburbs and I was reading these answer choices like wtf no no no nothing makes sense

sometimes my stupid simple brain lets me get questions like this right

but its not a HORSE ugh

good question got me thinking a lot

Fell for B and it still is a really attractive answer to me. Reading the stimulus I really thought it was necessary that the crows way of thinking that someone is threatening is by shrieking and dive-bombing. Like what if that's their way of saying hi?? lol like wouldn't you NEED that in order for the argument to work?

After like 15 minutes of BR on just this question I guess I can kind of see A being right only because answer B says the word "always". If it didn't have that word I think it would've been a better answer choice but I do see that no, we don't need the crows to ALWAYS perceive threat by shrieking/dive-bombing. They could technically respond in other ways like idk pecking at your face and that doesn't mean that shrieking/dive-bombing didn't happen or isn't part of their way of perceiving threat because the stimulus never said so.

I picked D but in BR got confused by the word manufacturers. These are not the vitamin manufacturers but the ones that make "commonly consumed foods" like jelly beans. Jelly bean manufacterers put all the vitamins found in fruits and vegetables in them so this weakens the argument that you need to take vitamins.

You could submit all your applications but the school will just keep your application on file and "incomplete" until all of your LORs are in! So I'd honestly just wait to save yourself the back and forth communication from all the schools about incomplete application.

For me, when I negated C, I realized it was the correct answer. If fish raised in traditional hatcheries were NOT timid in foraging the food then the argument isn't really there anymore. Why are the stimulated fish more likely to find food if both were equally bold or equally timid?

Stuck between C and E and the only way I chose E was because it talked about actual lower back injuries. C talks about being encouraged to use techniques that reduce lower back stress... but like that person could go to work and still have a lower back injury. I could be encouraged to study the LSAT more by JY but doesn't mean I actually will or it will prevent me from getting a low score.

#help I"m confused by answer E. I understand the negation to be "The aerobic exercise group did not exercise more (So could be the same or less than weight group)". but HOW does this wreck the argument?

have to connect vegetation with drought... missed that

My reasoning for #24 was I thought well the whole sentence is saying pharmacologist may be able to design a drug that could help with brain disorders and we already know from the last paragraph that GABA receptors are different in regions of the brain. So I just thought if neurons "influence certain parts of the brain" then obviously these are the neurons pharmacologists want to mess with to find the drugs. Why would they want to mess with (insert the other answer choices) of neurons?

easy when I read it the second time around but first time, this passage and the questions were kind of hard for me :/

Honestly the LG is the most improvable once you start fool proofing each type of games. What helped me get section to 0-2 missed is start fool proofing the types of games like grouping for one night and then in & out the next day and repeat until you're sick of the game haha

RC is just hard for most people unless you're naturally fast and good at reading. Definitely as a business major, I didn't do enough critical and dense reading so RC has def been my weakest section and the longest to improve for me!

Mostly I was interrupted when my connection is lost which you should prepare no matter how great your WIFI is. I found that the Proctor U system is finicky and you can run into some connection issues per section which can throw your focus off. Other than that, foam ear plugs are fine and they try not to interrupt you too much.

replace = must've been somewhat of equals to be able to replace real faculty with TAs. Therefore, University would benefit from TAs in the same way they would from real faculty.

For me, PT 60s was my highest scores and weirdly into some 70s PT, my score tanked.. it also freaked me out and I started to study at like every moment I had which honestly stressed me out more. Just take some time off and come back into studying knowing that scores will fluctuate but that doesn't mean you forgot the fundamentals.

Can you please share your experience with ProctorU? my exam is on Thursday and really nervous about random tech difficulties

Thanks everyone that's actually really helpful!

I chose E :))))))
