I'm still confused about why D would not be the right answer. Personally I chose A first and then switched to D during the blind review because I thought D would bridge the arguement. I was thinking more alone the lines that the argument structure would be kind of like:

If A (reasonably expected) then B (pay for it)

A (she did reasonably expect it)

So... B (she should pay for it)

And I get that A gives us a rule but a rule is merely a rule I think if the question was asking us for the underlying principle A would have made more sense but it's asking what would help us properly infer B.

So then is D only incorrect because it causes us to assume the fact that she knew means that she could also reasonably expect it?

I'm actually having the same problem. @ do you mind forwarding me the email as well?

Would it make a difference it A had said something like "Most people who purchase sunscreen don't purchase the most expensive brand and only the most expensive brand actually helps with skin cancer prevention"? Or something of the sort #help

That's amazing news! I don't have any advice. BUT I'M WISHING YOU THE BEST!

Hi I'm also interested!

I would say if you just started using 7Sage to honestly not sweat it. It took me a while to get used to the actual questions and passage setups in itself. Just the exposure to the type of language used is helpful. Might take a couple weeks to be completely comfortable with it. Until then what I would do is continue breaking down the passages in the way JY taught. Then once you feel like you can "predict" the questions/ structure and the answers and you're still not doing well then maybe try this method again to see if you have improved. For me, because the sentences were so convoluted it took an entire month to get used to it.

Also I ramped up on the amount of reading that I do on the daily. I read at least 30 minutes a day now and whenever I'm free. Getting used to the different ways words are used was also extremely helpful.

If anything, you're allowed to take the LSAT more than once. So study hard for the August one but if you don't wind up with the score you want don't stress since you can still take the September or October one. Even the November one wouldn't be too late.

Also really breaking down logical reasoning questions and understanding those structures and reasoning really helped with reading comprehension as well.

GOOD LUCK!

Interested! Virtually over discord would be amazing!

I found that I was on the same boat as you for a really long time. But I actually greatly improved my score just by not thinking too much. Generally when I read I read and I make a mental note or a physical note on structure and I usually will highlight some keywords to remind me of what the role of the passage is. And that should take care of about half of the questions. I found that when I pay attention only to structure I 1) get through passages faster and 2) actually carve out time to take a second look when it's a detail oriented question.

I think for the first few untimed practices while you're getting used to it, definitely use JY's method. But at some point it will take way too long so instead trust that the efforts you put in will help you because when you do the passages enough you will subconsciously know what you're looking for.

What put this into perspective for me was when I decided that I should try to do one set of questions reading the question just once without looking back at the passage and without doing any highlights, doubling back and rethinking about what I just read and instead just making a mental note of structure and purpose of each paragraph. I wound up doing really well with 80% accuracy on a 4 level set and with 30 seconds to spare.

I would say that on your next attempt read through the passage just once and head straight to the questions without looking back. This is more of a "trust in yourself" exercise but it worked wonders for me.

Obviously not perfect yet on a regular timed exam I still get about 8 RC questions wrong. So I'll be following this thread as well!
