The strategy of skipping was a godsend here. Skipped this, ninja'd the remaining 5. Came back to this, got it wrong, but it was the only one I got wrong in the whole section. Skipping works friends !!!

This is fantastic and i totally see this reasoning. Seems like a common trap where the conclusion says something is likely to happen and the bait answer choice just says "it happens EVEN MORE" (i.e. AC D says well because atmosphere heat is mostly from bouncing off sun heat, then the conclusion is going to happen A LOT a la - the atmosphere is going to cool off A LOT. well thanks, that's great, but it doesn't really matter because all I'm saying is it's going to cool, it can be .00001 cooler or 10000 degrees cooler. )

C ensures that the cooling is going to happen (in addition to it cooling a lot more) by giving us some info about the the water. What if the water was also, say, increasing the amount of ship transportation and decreasing plane transportation, and the ship emissions warm the atmosphere way less than planes? If less water was available then planes would be of more use and maybe that sunlight save would be totally useless because now we have a bunch of 20$ Spirit airlines flights in the air. C says, no the water is actually INCREASING the atmosphere.

I also agree that the LSAT writers did not mean that the earth warms twice at all. If you didn't catch that, I would totally not beat yourself about it.

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to hear some tips on folks who are very comfortable with Reading Comp. I absolutely loved JYs breakdown and framework for science passage - phenomenon and hypothesis. I studied literature in college, so those science passages are daunting, but with that framework, pretty much every science passage can be broken down into that structure. It's like a swiss army knife to understand them. Love it.

Wanted to hear if you all had similar frameworks for Law / Human/ Arts passages? Particularly law. Those also seem daunting to me and I get overwhelmed by the specificity that many of the law passages tend to have under time pressure. Any type of larger frameworks in law that I can use as a swiss army knife (human / societal practice ---> law, problem existing --> law with answer ???)

Arts and Humanities are fine - my lit degree really comes in handy haha - but would also appreciate your tips in case I get a passage about Ayn Rand or something that I'm not inherently interested in (I hate Ayn Rand).

I usually do pretty well on RC, average 3/4 qs wrong. But sometimes I blow it and get 6-7 if it's a hard science or law passage. Want to be ready for the worst case scenario.

Thanks!
