It went okay, didn't feel as confident as I wanted to be and scored slightly lower than my PTs. Going to take it again, but I'm happy I totally didn't bomb my first LSAT and it's a score that could still get me into a decent school I think.

Great, taking the LSAT this morning, did a set of LR questions and I keep falling for the most popular wrong answers. Very annoying.

I'm dumb and took the difference between an outcry and a criticism too literally and picked D. I had a feeling that the most polluted cities 30 years ago could still be the most polluted today...

E seems like a weird issue with correlation and causation. I can understand why the answer is correct, but it is such a weak strengthening answer that it borderline doesn't even make sense when you really think of it. Again maybe overthinking just consistently plagues me.

I was staring at D thinking it could maybe be right and then for some reason went with E. Upon rereading in an untimed setting I just realized I was overthinking.

Was tempted between B and E and chose B. I tend to pick the most popular wrong answer when split between contender and the correct choice. Very frustrating at times.

It's weird how I can get Flaw questions that are much technically harder right, but yet have missed this question twice. Maybe it's the language of answer E?

A big aha moment after I tried this one was realizing that the food processed w/ gamma rays lost vitamin content while it was raw. So if raw-foods have a higher vitamin content than irradiated raw foods then the flaw described in B makes total sense.

Question 6 is definitely evil. I wish there was a little more explanation considering 56% of people apparently pick D as the wrong answer (including me). Does anyone know what line references the "ability to anticipate later artists"?

Edit: Maybe this is just an old test???

Thank you.

It is so important to know how to approach each question type exactly. Going back and reviewing the basics has significantly helped me.

I'm in the same boat of thinking when it came to answer choice D. I feel like these extra assumptions we make can be a dangerous way of thinking for the LSAT.

For some reason I am getting the questions about blood , fat, and cholesterol wrong, but getting the harder questions in these MSS drills right. Very strange.

Was stuck between D and E and unfortunately chose the wrong answer. Thanks for the explanation though as I know what to look for next time and feel many mistakes could be due to overlooking a word. I realized if you aren't quite confident about what the answer is for some of the easier/medium difficulty ones, you probably are wrong.

Fell into the trap of picking B. I figured that if the controls were harder to observe that verbal communication would be good. But I realize B is too strong by saying "most valuable means".

On the harder questions I have a tendency to pick the most popular wrong answer choice consistently. It feels very frustrating being stuck often between contenders and picking the wrong one.

As someone in a different comment said, I let personal bias come into my answer choice decisions. Maybe from some personal things I went through, I didn't want to pick A as an answer even though it was a contender. So don't let bias get in the way of answer choices.

Picked E. Needed to go back to these harder Main Point questions and get humbled!

Had C as a contender and was picked but then changed it to B. Definitely a tricky question.

Picked B, then was over thinking and picked the incorrect answer of E. I have a terrible tendency to change right answers to wrong ones and get hung up on the question....

Classic me, changed my answer from the right one to the wrong one, showing ultimately that I don't know what the F I am doing. Also, D is such a gross sounding sentence in terms of structure and the way it reads. Maybe it's just me. The wording in answer choice D makes me frustrated/aggressive feeling after the word "or".

Picked C then changed my answer to A :) hate myself! Constantly doubting myself and changing from correct answer to wrong one.

This one made me so F*ing mad. I feel so dumb as the answer is so obvious upon review, even without an explanation. It's amazing where one's mind starts going when doing a timed section. I hate my mind and the way it overthinks/overcomplicates and can't sort through all the other BS efficiently. Are the questions accompanying the lessons purposely easy to give us false confidence?

Thanks JY, I'll try to "facepalm....get with the program" as you say, even though I'm paying for your overly complex explanations. There is no need for your extra commentary. Explain why it's wrong and move on. No one needs to be made to feel worse when all of us are just trying to improve.

I picked A then switched it to E... I need to stop switching answer choices as it is leading to more incorrect changes than correct ones.

That was what made me take awhile to answer this question. Ultimately I saw that difference and it was what led me to pick answer D. But it was definitely tricky to spot at first.
