I disregarded B as the correct answer because of how it includes the word "easy". I saw that Alex says shrimp farming makes quick profits and that Jolene disagrees, but Alex didn't explicitly say that shrimp farming profits came easily. I didn't want to insert my own assumptions into the answer choice by thinking "quick" also implies "easy". Am I thinking too hard for this?

Frustrated with Speed!

Hi everyone,

The whole time I’ve been studying for the LSAT, I was under the impression that once my accuracy was good, my speed in answering questions would just fall into place. My blind reviews and untimed practice tests have increased to the 174-177 range, but my practice test scores are stuck in the 164-169 range! I feel like I understand the material decently now, but that I’m stagnant in my actual test performance.

I’m super frustrated and I’m wondering if maybe I’m just too inherently slow, which is super demoralizing. Has anyone else faced this issue?

This question stumped me because I was thinking of the average price paid for a new car in the wrong way. I initially thought of it at a price point that everyone was paying for a new car, which led me to incorrectly choose A. I thought that maybe this single price point was actually being split up by multiple people, so people weren't paying more than they did 25 years ago. It seems so obvious but I forgot that an average is just a reflection of a bunch of different purchases that have happened in a set amount of time. It's possible that people are still spending the same or less compared to 25 years ago, but they're being overshadowed by a bunch of other buyers who are spending big bucks on expensive cars.
