Very difficult to understand.

Best explanation so far. Thanks

Do you guys/gals map questions with conditional logic?

Not sure when you are submitting but I am submitting mine on February 1st (priority deadline). January LSAT scores won't post until Feb 2nd. I'm willing to bet that they wouldn't get to my application hours after I submitted it. (The school even told me that I was safe to assume that.)

Maybe it will be the case for you if you are talking about less than 3-4 days.

@lindseysegal382 I have the same question.

Also OP, don't be discouraged. We are about the same but I'm a little worse. My raw is around 153 (163 BR). I struggle with everything, but LG has gotten better. I believe my LR will see significant improvement because I just had an amazing "ah ha" moment where I am seeing things in a more abstract way. JY talks about it in CC. I distinguish context from the argument. I focus in on modifiers and referential phrases. I will also boil the argument down to the bare bones: Ex on a Parallel Flaw: "If A then B. C is a B. So C is a A." Any variable may represent a mouthful of words. Doing this has helped me tremendously. I used to fight against "boiling it down" because it was so foreign to me but it gets easier and faster with repetition.

I wish you all the best. I'll be satisfied if I raw a 162+. Less than two weeks to go!! We got this!

For this one, I simply thought of me doing the action upon someone.

- I'm employing you. Check

- I'm paying you. Check

- I'm absenting you. Huh?

ACs:

- I'm honoring you. Check

- I'm appointing you. Check

- I'm nominating you. Check

- I'm transferring you. Check

- I'm escaping you. Huh? Must be correct AC

Agreed with poster above. Diagnostic means nothing. I scored a 141 on my diagnostic. This was a cold diagnostic. I never read an LSAT question in my life before that test. I was puzzled as to what the question even wanted me to do. On top of that, there were time constraints. I ended up not answering 31 questions. I completely guessed on others.

I just ended the core curriculum and will take my first PT within the next couple of days. I know I will see a significant improvement simply bc I now understand each question type. Furthermore, on drill sets, I notice that I often choose the same answers as those who score 162-168.

Agreed, And since there was a poll of elgible voters, I assummed that Panitch's supporters were more likely to be questioned in that poll.

For B, I'd have to assume Mulhern's supporters would vote for Yeung. Damned if I do, damned if I don't.

I didn't think this was too difficult.

Dang, saw and misread A. Then went on to next question to try and save time. E is clearly the right answer.

LOL, Same. I didn't want to assume that the kids would be psychologically harmed. Although when I read D, my initial response was "ouch, telling that lie would hurt!"

Same here. I chose E as well. But now I see the error in my ways. I believe we both got thrown off by the first statement in the response, "But erosion in Rochelle is caused...."

The response stated this way made it seem like Alan discussed a cause for erosion but he did not. He simply stated, unless something is done, erosion cannot be controlled. So it's very easy to dismiss E. Alan didn't identify anything as a cause.

The lesson I learned from getting this wrong is to slow down. The sections before this have been whooping my butt and now I'm finally excited to be on a section that seems easier. I'm flying through the questions and selecting answers without blind reviewing. Take time to read the material and ACs closely.
