you know, in hindsight I wonder how this looked so hard before. Feel like time pressure gets to me because upon reviewing the answer sounds obvious.

@BConnor9 Whether or not it is a conflict of interest is irrelevant (a reasonable person would conclude here, though, that a conflict of interest is possible). What is relevant is what the author's attitude is, not the accuracy of the excerpt.

@wildhorse "i got it right because i know the right answer is right" ahh comment

@lebronfan fr. I totally understood that C accurately reflects the layout of the passages, but actively chose something else because of the way it is worded.

I overthunk it

how the fuck am i supposed to do all of this in my head in 60 seconds

I mean to me it seems a fair explanation that people aren’t going on strike because they are getting pay increases

man these "except" type questions always get me confused. End up forgetting im supposed to choose the one that isn't supported halfway down the questions

@PS7346Y8 unreal that you took the time to write this essay. wow.

Welp, still have no clue which approach I'll use. On to the practicing!

Besides, because there aren't many to go through, you'll do that first round of questions quicker and when reading passage B you'll already have an idea what you need to and don't need to pay attention to

@mjcard517 not at all. Maybe not the best for you, but its certainly not accurate to call it a bad method. Not all comparative passages will have 80% of the questions require the 2nd passage to be read to infer anything. Just unlucky here.

@AshManicka because we haven't read passage B yet, so we can't possibly know what the author of that passage means in calling evolutionary psychology a "conspiracy theory"

really starting to see how this can be helpful, but still worried about the timing for the split approach

I mean the whole point of passage A is that historians shouldn't even BE persuasive...they should be neutral. So AC E saying contrasting different kids of 'persuasive writing' eliminates it pretty quickly to me

i feel like the best one to start with to get a feel is the sequential approach, no? Just to see if I get the main points jumbled up in my head and such...

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 :(

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.

@TiffanyM 100%

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.

was anyone else confused by the term "economical package"
