4/5 with a lot of difficult ones. Woohoo!

@ThePaladinOfChedder I did the same! Eliminated all the others and got back to A.

@Jessievitarelli You're probably already diagramming in your head. If you already have that skill, there's no reason to put it on paper. Speed is the name of the game here :).

@bcn no. You should guess and move on if you don't see the answer immediately.

Wooo first 5/5 drill!

@LSATstudyer That's why when I see what I feel is the correct answer, I smash it and move on. Don't want to confuse myself with worse answers that I may accidentally convince myself are better.

@pbc45 I'm similar in that I felt like C was the correct answer but kept staring at it and rereading it to figure out why it was the correct answer. Ultimately, I could not parse the grammar but selected it anyway because everything else was definitely wrong.

Got the last two of these right after getting some easier ones wrong. Definitely helps slowing down and highlighting the conclusion so I can see which answers actually support the conclusion.

@jackghenriquez1 it's because a virus like Ebola would have caused a lot of people to get very sick and die, and because those people died, they wouldn't have been able to spread the virus, thus shortening the length of the epidemic. A milder virus would have lingered.

@AOnifade I chose the same but I think you have to take it as true that multicellular organisms only started to exist half a billion years after the sandstone. So, even if it was the first multicellular organism, it still would be one of the first known ones, which puts it 500 million years after the sandstones. You would have to make the assumption that something we do not know has to be true in order for E to weaken the argument.

@LazyBrain You will once you start focusing on time. You'll get the easy ones really quickly, then be able to devote more time to the tough ones. And some tough ones you'll get really quickly and can devote even more time to the ones that are really stumping you.

I'm so proud I got this one right in 44 seconds. I didn't read the other questions after B since the worst thing I could do was to continue reading the other answers and start confusing myself.

@kimwexler I originally marked it off, marked off every other answer, than reread A and realized I had read it wrong.

I got this wrong because I was so focused on making the latter conclusion correct that I ignored E making the previous conclusion correct.

Ugh I knew D was correct but my assumption got in the way that there's no way stretching is all a cat needs to do to keep is musculature. And I answered incorrectly with my cat sitting on my lap. The shame!

A is actually saying the same thing in the stimulus, just in an obscure way. There may be less thieves abandoning cars because they are being caught before they can abandon them, hence conviction rates going up.

But I only got this one right because of POE and all the other answers being contradictory.

@Eymendkk I work from home, so my home is my workplace, but because it is my home, I am allowed to smoke in my workplace.

@StanHolt I missed it too. There's a foundation lesson that goes over And that we should review. Basically, instead of writing two separate sentences, we use and to combine them into one. So if we think about them as two separate sentences, it becomes: Most large nurseries sell to primarily commercial growers. Most large nurseries guarantee their plants to be disease-free. Most is modifying the subject here, saying they're over 50% but not all.

@bcn definitely kicked myself in blind review when I realized Pat didn't have to be a member.

@MadlynV It's good to practice and solidify the skills. I was feeling similarly until I got to this question and it destroyed me. Had to review the rules so I could diagram correctly.

@AlexZelaya234 I would still do them in blind review to reaffirm you know why you're getting the correct answer. You could run into harder questions on the actual test, and that's when mapping will come in really handy.

@ChelseaStack old folks represent!

@CheyenneBandy diagramming takes time so if you intuitively know, you should answer and move on. Diagramming feels more useful when you need to eliminate answers.

@ARo I don't think it's worth it if you're 100% confident in your answer. The other answers will just slow you down and can shake your confidence. If you go hunting, grab your prey when you can.

@NatashaChander-Levy it suggests blind review on some questions if you took quite a bit longer than the suggested time.
