"sure, data is important, but I think our higher priority would be for patients to stay alive"----it is at times like this when I think JY is literally born for this!

Sorry if this is a really silly question. But just wanted to make sure: if "however" is the beginning of the argument, does that mean the "argument" in the stem does not consider the first sentence of the stimulus? Aka when we are going down the list of answer choices, does it mean we are confined to the sentences starting with "however" and ending with "false"?

Exercise and eating right does help you focus longer. Although I noticed that when I run in the morning, I get hungry so frequently that it is actually impossible to focus due to increased metabolism and depleted glucose (I also work out about 3 times a week in addition to running).

That being said, I don't think focusing for a super long period of time is necessarily a good thing, at least in my case. When I used to do it in the past, it put me into autopilot mode, which actually became harmful for making progress because I believe that successfully studying for the LSAT requires an acute awareness at all times about what you did on certain questions, why you did what you did and how you can prevent them next time. Without such awareness, I'd just repeat the mechanic process of doing questions and moving on, which is a waste of both time and energy and LSAT materials.

However, if one could focus for long periods of time without losing the ability to quickly review and reflect, then I don't see a huge downside. But no matter how long you study, I think it is important to keep your goal in mind, and keep the study period to serve that goal.

Time between PT and BR？

This morning I took my first timed PT---not even a full one (so minus the fifth and the writing section), but during the last section I felt extremely and absolutely exhausted. Both the first and the last sections were LR, but I knew I was processing information at a lower speed and efficiency in that last section. It's pretty atypical for me to feel so burned out in just 2 hours' of concentration so I think it might just be the result of eating less than usual for breakfast. So I decided I'd wait to do BR after an afternoon workout.

But, here I am, almost 8 hours later, still not able to start BR---even just the thought of it makes me cringe.

What is a recommended time between BR after PT? Are there downsides to pushing it back a day? How do I get over my BR anxiety?

Thanks!!!!
