I'm finding it difficult to just turn off my understanding of the previous passage and jump immediately into trying to understand a completely different topic. Did really well in the first, and just struggled to concentrate throughout the second passage
honestly shocked that I was under the time for reading. Thought for sure I'd be like a minute or two over
@Andrew.spiers2 nowhere in the passage does the author imply they have appreciation for the difficulty of the medical expert's task of explaining things. It discusses how verbal explanations can be difficult to comprehend for judges and jury not well versed in the medical field. Difficulty relating to the explanations themselves, not relating to the medical expert's task in getting the point across.
@yellowfinsalmon483 the point is that it could also not be most, so you can't cherry pick part of the truth that works and discard the rest.
using the actual tools we have while reading the passage on the test (highlighting, underline, etc.) what do people suggest doing to physically mark where one perspective ends and another starts, like Kevin suggests here?
Assuming we can't just draw directly on the passage with our mouse
got tripped up by the word "compelled" - felt that made it inaccurate since the argument for snell surrounded free will.
@cpdevill307 if you click "show question" at the top below the title of the lesson you can do the question without seeing the answer first.
@DNAlex Unfortunately, restating the conversation that has already been had and adding nothing new is not an argument. In fact, its yet another common flaw in these questions. I think you need to relearn fundamentals. Happy to hop on a call and walk you through it though.
@DNAlex looks like I replied directly to your argument and that's all you can come back with? You'll do fantastic in law school!!
@DNAlex big difference between giving context on one's train of thought in choosing between answers, and showing how you got there so others might benefit, vs what these bots do saying "got it right" so they can get a virtual pat on the back from strangers. Focus on your studies buddy.
Initially thought this was it, but had to read the rest cause I thought the difference between speed and acceleration was a trick. still came back to this but ended up wasting a lot of unnecessary time
First analyzing whether the conclusions match, ignoring everything else, is a great way to eliminate answer choices quickly. In this case, D was the only answer choice that had a matching conclusion structure.
@Kaileavesley when this happens for me, I just don't move on until I feel better about it. No point learning something new if I don't yet understand what I just learned. More practice.
continuing to assert that the write answer can be the same as if it were an SA question does NOT HELP when you've already told us these cases are in the minority. Stop it. It only confuses people into thinking they can go through these questions in the same way they do SA.
I'm learning that when you read an answer that passes the tests for being the correct choice, just choose that and move on. Trust the process, because reading further will only confuse you and waste time
How do I read faster? Feel like there's no amount of practice that can change that I'm a slow reader. Always have been. RIP my LSAT score I guess :(
