can someone explain why C is not a good explanation? #help
I noticed that I don't manage time well in my tests, how can I improve? I end up skipping loads of questions when I'm running out of time and it's frustrating. I have a pretty solid understanding of LSAT fundamentals now but because of my time management, I can't budge the 150s. Meanwhile, in my blind review or untimed tests, I score in the 160s. Please help. My LSAT is in 7 weeks and I don't know what to do anymore.
Hello All,
I recently drilled this PT section. While I found the game to be pretty smooth, I was quite confused when I missed nearly all the questions on the first try, and 3 questions on the 2nd. I've located the issue to my interpretation of "3-hour block starting at 1pm." In JY's videos, this leads him up to 3:30 pm. But isn't that only 2 and a half hours? Although my game board is just like JY's in that we both have 5 slots, mine ends at 4pm. Because 1-4 is 3 hours? I'd appreciate further insight/ ways to avoid, or at least, finesse interpretation errors such as this one. I'm failing to see how "3 hour block starting at 1pm"could possibly go up to 3:30 no matter how its read. Thanks!

For #7, I felt D was wrong because it didn't completely match the whole passage. It seemed to only be a part of it, representing the last paragraph: "Expanding farm production does have the potential to alleviate some of the pressure on wild fishery stocks....Nonetheless, even these benefits may in the end be lost because niche markets..." While B fully encapsulated the passage making it the right answer.
I'm conflicted because J.Y. says this is wrong because "it's totally unclear." Was my interpretation of D wrong? #help
What helped me understand why answer choice A was wrong was realizing that it shifts the focus to the election results as a result of the debate, rather than staying on the survey results from the debate. This makes D make more sense, as if most people before the debate wanted tanner, then the idea that they "just liked lopez" falls away.
I'd love to! I've plateaued at the 150s and have only broken 160 once. I'm aiming for 170+. I'm feeling desperate atm so i'm down!
the "only" in E felt a bit too strong
I was wary of B because it felt too obvious lol.
Thank you so much. I'll be sure to split LR and RC, and try to develop a method that works with RC. I often take notes with RC but I'm starting to notice it sometimes slows me down. I'll be sure to update this forum with any changes.
In August, I hit 159 in one of my preptests. I took the LSAT and unfortunately bombed it, scoring a 153 or so. My goal has been a 170+. After a break from studying, I resumed studying around mid to late October to prepare for the January LSAT. Since then, I've been averaging a 157-159. My BR also remains between 163-164. The highest BR I've ever gotten was a 168. I'm starting to feel that day was just luck. I panicked last week and shifted my exam date to February. As you can imagine, this feels pretty heartbreaking. I took a PT today, scored a 158. BR 163. I've been consistent and thorough. I spend 4-6 hours of my day studying. Sometimes more. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm starting to fear that maybe this is my limit. While I don't want to accept that, it may just be a hard pill to swallow. It's pathetic but I can't help but cry right now.
To break down my progress, I average a -5 to -2 in LG, -9 in LR, and a -10 in RC.
My goal this December is to bring LG down to a -0 which I think I am on track doing and LR to a -5. I fluctuate a bit too much with RC to get comfortable but I will try to work on my time when reading passages more as I noticed time is a my limiting factor there.
Most of my frustration lies with LR. I would appreciate any tips. I've read various forums and have incorporated these tips into my regime but after today I don't know anymore.
Wouldn't it be worded differently then? Because irritable (i) is a sufficient condition. (i → t)
So doesn't it take a sufficient condition for her being irritable to be a necessary condition?
(t → i)
The wording is why I didn't choose E. #help #feedback
