Why did I eliminate the right answer?

I eliminated C because I was looking more at the price of the software connection when looking through the answer choices. I didn't really see a connection with C when looking at the choices and was looking at D and E due to mentioning things like "cost and expensive". I can now see how C is right though when looking through it again due to it saying prime purchasers won't buy if ___ and then saying can't do ____ if wanna be successful linking the connection of C.

Why did I choose this wrong answer?

I ultimately chose E because when reading the stimulus I took it as being difficult/ timely to learn these commands for the training staff which makes it more expensive. I do see how that could of been a jump though due to it never mentioning its difficult but I assumed so based off of what the stimulus was saying.

What can I do better next time to get this right?

I can read the answer choices more carefully and depict them and not just look for certain key phrases. I need to take more time and depict everything better.

Why did I eliminate the right answer?

I eliminated D at first because I believed that the word "only" was too specific. I also saw a link more between nervous system and mis treated and felt like D was too broad of a statement. I was torn between hat choice and E but ultimately chose E but I also see D.

Why did I choose this wrong answer?

I chose E because when reading the stimulus I took it as you need to have a nervous system in order to be mistreated. Which ultimately connected me more to E due to it linking with how I took the stimulus.

What can I do better next time to get this right?

I can focus more on depicting the key words and seeing if it links or is too broad/ specific like "only and any"

Hi! I'm Kaleigh, I am taking the Lsat in April.

The time is so hard for me

I'm so stuck on the timing aspect I understand the questions but doing it in the given amount of time is so hard for me.

Why did I eliminate the right answer?

I eliminated D because I wasn't really connecting with any of these choices off the bat and felt a connection with A the most at the end of the day. I think what made me not choose D was when it says "a given activity" because I didn't see it as the passage wanting the government to finance a given activity I interpreted it as funding all the candidates campaign not just a given activity for the interest of the society.

Why did I choose this wrong answer?

I chose A because it just felt the most right out of all the other choices to me at the end of the day and I wanted to go with my gut. I saw in the passage that our society has an interest in maintaining a political system where candidates adhere to their principles and they don't want that which led me to A. But I can now see when going back over my choice could be a big assumption because it never really says "they should not run" but I could assume that from the stimulus.

What can I do better next time to get this right?

Not jump to as big assumptions and try to rush because of time. Time is a big stressor for me because I'm a slow test taker.

Why did I eliminate the right answer?

I eliminated B because I felt as that explanation could also weaken the argument. When reading that I took it as they are no more likely to suffer meaning they could suffer just as much. I now see how B could be right though because even if it suffers just as much that still means it would be just as effective. I just took it as not a strengthener at first because it didn't say it would suffer less it said no more likely which got me stuck.

Why did I choose this wrong answer?

I chose D because I was trying to find an answer choice that mentions cost since cost was a big thing in the conclusion. I didn't fully understand this answer choice but I did see how it mentioned the higher costs of brand name drugs strengthening the fact that they cost more than generic. I can see how that could be a big jump though because I didn't understand what it meant by underwrite drug companies investment.

What can I do better next time to get this right?

I can read more carefully and not be so quick to cancel one out/ jump to conclusions.

Additional notes:

Why did I eliminate the right answer?

I eliminated A because I was moreso stuck on this question and felt it was possibly irrelevant information with the fact that it was easier. I realized why it was right though in my second take because it says that they contain the same quantity of the same nutrients which calls into question when the nutritionist says "But there is no indication that juice separated from the pulp of the fruit or vegetable has any properties that it does not have when unseparated".

Why did I choose this wrong answer?

I chose C because when looking at the conclusion it contradicts the "save your money" aspect because it's basically saying it wouldn't be a major expense inferring you don't need to save your money. I had chosen this because I felt like no other was right at this time. It was a minor connection so I see why it is wrong.

What can I do better next time to get this right?

I can read into it more. I feel like I rush to try and have a good time which I don't need to always do. If I had read and compared A more in the stimulus I could've gotten right first time around. I didn't connect the "same quantity of the same nutrients" part until my second time around.

Additional notes:

Why did I eliminate the right answer?

I felt like D or E could be right but in the end I eliminated D because I felt E most seriously would weaken. I just thought it was better.

Why did I choose this wrong answer?

I chose E because I feel like it weakens it because the conclusion says if you want to be as happy as possible you would consider to not have a pet and E says all people who have no pets feel unhappy sometimes which contradicts the conclusion that says you would be happy as possible without one. Since you feel unhappy sometimes you wouldn't be as happy as possible.

What can I do better next time to get this right?

I can look into it more and work more slowly in the blind review and not assume my answer was correct when going through it.

Additional notes:

Why did I eliminate the right answer?

I at first eliminated A because I felt as if the stimulus already hinted towards that. I realize that I did assume that the stimulus was already telling us that even though it never specifically did. So I had eliminated

Why did I choose this wrong answer?

I chose C because I felt like it saying no system of peer review would be effective meant that physics for sure wouldn't be and supports the fact that it would have to do what biologists changed to in order to progress. I realize I made Nan assumption in a way when choosing C.

What can I do better next time to get this right?

I can read more carefully and not go as fast.

Additional notes:

Why did I eliminate the right answer?

I eliminated C because I felt it could be true but not the most true weakener. It doesn't explicitly state whales and ichthyosaur so I feel this answer choice could be quite broad, having a chance of not applying to ichthyosaurs. I had it as a option but didn't choose it because I felt it was too broad.

Why did I choose this wrong answer?

I chose D because I felt it was saying even with this comparison whales have certain characteristics needed for deep diving that its not shown ichthyosaurs do. I felt that could disprove it. I also thought E because it shows that their shells being porous actually might not be the reason for them potentially being deep divers.

What can I do better next time to get this right?

I can move slower and not just choose.

Additional notes:

Why did I eliminate the right answer?

I eliminated E because I was more so trying to find an answer choice that contradicts that the park would benefit visitors. I saw E as more so contradicting a premise which is why I didn't choose it.

Why did I choose this wrong answer?

I chose B because I saw it as something that contradicts the supporting factor for the conclusion. It makes it seem like it would more so hurt rather than benefit. I then chose A which I was torn between because it contradicts the conclusion by basically saying how it would improve those things for the visitor but it is not enough which I felt was contradicting.

What can I do better next time to get this right?

I can take my time better and not just focus on the facts of the conclusion.

Additional notes:

I was confused on this one.

Why did I eliminate the right answer?

I eliminated D because ultimately I was torn between B and D. I didn't choose D due to me seeing the word fail in B which made me think that it was completely contradicting the argument.

Why did I choose this wrong answer?

I chose B because I thought it was basically saying that even with the marketing campaign it would still fail no matter what. Now I see the word many which doesn't mean all.

What can I do better next time to get this right?

I can go slower and spend more time thinking and evaluating.

Additional notes:

Why did I eliminate the right answer?

I eliminated E because I had felt that C was more true when answering and didn't know that copyright would ever expire after an authors death.

Why did I choose this wrong answer?

I chose C because I believed it meant that when someone uses someone else's work like AI for example it may be hard to find a publisher and the copy right method may not work so I thought that was true and went with the argument.

What can I do better next time to get this right?

I can know my facts better because I didn't know E was true so I didn't choose it and was stuck.

Additional notes:

Why did I eliminate the right answer?

I eliminated B because I didn't really get that vibe from the paragraph where it was stated. I just more so read the sentence as a small blow or discreditment or even a like example of other things being able to do it. I think I eliminated B due to me interpreting it wrong.

Why did I choose this wrong answer?

I chose C because I feel by the passage saying "short range species" it in a way discredited the fact that it could be long term. I can see how B is correct now though because similarly since it said "short term species" it could be trying to tell us to reconsider it since its a system of many short range species which is similar to what I chose in a way.

What can I do better next time to get this right?

I can read more carefully when going through the passage and comparing to the answer choices. I can also try to x all answer choices but one.

Additional notes:

This one had me a little confused because in a way I feel B and C are saying similar things which led me to choose the incorrect answer. I do understand how B could be correct though, I just need to work on my instinct and power of elimination.

Why did I eliminate the right answer?

I eliminated the correct answer due to me being quite stuck on this question. I was torn between three choices and ended up going with my gut. I eliminated B since I hadn't thought it wasn't satisfactorily identified completely at first but when doing my blind review I realized that was correct and I misinterpreted some of the information.

Why did I choose this wrong answer?

I chose D since when reading the passage I saw a lot about how experimental it was for the process of the homing pigeons and they did a lot of research throughout the process/ different experiments which led me to think D was right. I can see now though that, that may have happened throughout the passage but doesn't really seem to be a main idea just an observation of what happens in the passage.

What can I do better next time to get this right?

I can read more throroughly and do better on my lo-rise summaries to better know the main idea of the passage. That has been a bit hard for me to do.

Additional notes:

Why did I eliminate the right answer?

I eliminated the correct answer, E, because I was torn between D and E and went with my instinct, D. They are two similar choices. I had felt E could be correct but ended up going with D.

Why did I choose this wrong answer?

I chose d because the author did say it "may be a contributing factor" which made me think that the author didn't seem too convinced on the fact that it is a contributing factor.

What can I do better next time to get this right?

I see that I may have assumed a little bit so I can work better on not jumping to assumptions. I can see how E connects more to the passage and isn't as much of a jump.

Additional notes:

Why did I eliminate the right answer?

I eliminated D because when reading the authors explanation I looked more at how the author was stating refuting evidence to the researchers claim. I more so saw one alternative explanation to the massive die off which made me to eliminate D.

Why did I choose this wrong answer?

I chose B because when reading the authors last paragraph I felt the author was giving us their reasoning for how the illnesses could be correctly diagnosed/ why the researcher didn't diagnose it completely right.

What can I do better next time to get this right?

I can read into it better. When reading it now I do understand how the correct answer is correct. B is a little foggy and confusing because I guess we aren't being given a specific process. I can see D because I guess the evidence could be alternative explanations for each thing I just didn't interpret it as possible explanations. So in the future I can take my time better on each question to better understand.

Additional notes:

This had me stuck... Why did I eliminate the right answer?

I was torn between the right answer C and the answer I chose B but in the end chose B on both attempts. I eliminated C because when reading the passage I didn't connect P. Brevis too much. I just didn't see too much of a connect with C as I did B. It had me stuck.

Why did I choose this wrong answer?

I chose B because when reading the passage I saw that both the author and researchers emphasized on the synthetic pollutants. I do see how I could have made too much of a jump when deciding though since the synthetic pollutants aren't mentioned closely to the Atlantic sentence or gulf sentence. I just felt it was making a comparison when bringing the gulf up.

What can I do better next time to get this right?

I can not jump to assumptions and read/ interpret my information more carefully. Take my time.

Additional notes:

This is frustrating. I get it wrong but in the video it shows I did it correct with his reasoning. Like #1 for example the answer in the video and the question are different views.

@AlexMarko no same im so confused on how to know that.

On number 5 in the video explanation I got it right but in the question wrong.

I'm also confused because in some questions it'll say if... but won't put it in front of the arrow as the sufficent?

Im so confused.

It just keeps getting more complicated

I'll be getting wrong on the question like #4 but then in the video it shows I did it right.
