@michelle189 I interpreted it as "resume," which does imply a period where it stopped growing!

additionally, it says it was HISTORICALLY one of the largest production crops in Kalotopia, but CONTINUES to be a major source of income for other countries, which to me further implies that it does not currently grow in Kalotopia.

How common is it for a correct MBT answer to essentially restate one of the premises? That's what made me shy away from B on #3 !

@AlexCaches I read the full question (using the show question button underneath the lesson title) and try and answer it on my own. These videos aren't aligned with my thinking process, so they really overcomplicate & confuse me.

If I get it right and feel that I really understand my answer, I treat it as a normal drill question and skip the video entirely.

If I get it wrong or don't fully understand, I read the answer(s) analytics that I was confused about and the video explanation if needed. Usually that's enough for me. But everyone's brain works differently! :)

@karlee448 for me personally, these videos don't help, they tend to confuse me, especially because they prevent you from reading the question and its answers in the same order as when taking the lsat. instead, I attempt the question (using the show question button at the top) on my own and if I get it right I skip the video entirely. if I'm confused at all, I read the analytical explanations for the answer choices. and if I still don't get it then, I may watch the video!

@DustinBarnett the apparent discrepancy is that AC use will still likely overload the power grid throughout the rest of the heat wave, even after residents have been asked to cut back. so in a way you are looking to further explain the issue - why will the power grid still be overloaded by AC when the request is heeded?

This one I found remarkably easy to answer without even evaluating the answer choices! From the initial read I knew that diagramming this degree of complexity would get me stuck. So this was my reasoning instead:

Premise 1 = all coffeehouses and restaurants are public places

Premise 2 = all comfortable places are well designed

Premise 3 = all comfortable public places have spacious interiors

Therefore, a well-designed PUBLIC place has to have a spacious interior. And we know coffeehouses and restaurants are public places. Thus, it had to follow that that all comfortable coffeehouses and restaurants have spacious interiors

How is E not leading us due to correlation without causation? I thought it was wrong because there could be other explanations for the increased blood pressure of mainland Kuna.

Maybe painfully obvious but... how do I bookmark a lesson again? 😅

@emmasabin I looked at it similarly, but said that the quantifiers are "21+" and "in the US" -> "can purchase alcohol." I'm curious about both our interpretations because I truly don't see how they are wrong!

@NoNamed92 yes, that's exactly what I'm debating is getting an iPad & Apple Pencil! Really appreciate your insight. I think I'm leaning towards this. :)

🤔 Curious

Physical vs Digital Notetaking

Hi all,

My undergraduate degree was in astrophysics, so with the exception of coding, I am used to taking all my notes on paper. I know this is the best way for me to retain and visualize information. However, I am on the fence about switching from physical to digital notetaking for law school.

Does anyone have any experience, reflection, or advice about this transition? Pros and cons maybe? My understanding is that law school will require a lot of reading case studies etc which would obviously be easier to annotate digitally than print out. But what about general 1L notes?

Thank you for any feedback! Best of luck to all of you with studying <3

Hey y'all! New student here - this is literally my day two. :) A couple questions for any seasoned practicers that comes across this board:

1. At this point, should we be focusing on getting the answers right no matter how long it takes, or should we still be trying to be within the time limit of a regular LSAT?

2. Additionally, is it beneficial to do the blind review every time?

In short... what should our strategy be at this point in our studying?
