Real challenging passage - but these are always the ones where the most learning occurs :-)
Oh geez, I was way off the mark! Def a tricky question.
The specifics in language always have me over thinking. I stared at this question for 7 minutes, finally the correct answer emerged. But my goodness, she was hiding in the weeds for a good long while!
I get the most confused when the language is extremely specific (which I imagine, is one of the many reasons I struggled with weakening questions in general), but find I have a better understanding of the abstract. Interested to see how this will play out in Flaw questions! Let's keep learning!
Oh goody gumdrops!
Very into these study breaks and the extended learning acquired! Great idea to do this.
I read that part in the stimulus as, "Our school system does not need reform" and ultimately paid the price because of it!
Both of these are so valuable. I watched them each in full! Thank you for sharing.
Very interested - I'm one of those "slightly older" students ;)
I'd like to join as well! I live in CA but also plan to take the June LSAT and Zoom sounds great to me.
We've got this!
These types of questions are really great opportunities for discovering what is best way for you as an individual to learn.
I've learned that using lawgic and writing it all out super confuses me and mostly leads me to the incorrect AC. However, when I think through the question in my mind and give myself time, (it took me 4-minutes to get this question) I nearly always get them correct.
Has anyone else noticed this about themselves? What kind of learning type is this?
Most of the responses on here are very encouraging.
I haven't felt ready to take a PT yet because I'm still working on understanding every question type and identifying my mistakes so that I can learn more. I had no prior knowledge of the LSAT and have been studying on and off for 3 months - with the last month being fully committed. I know everyone works at different paces and this can all be very confusing but the response above was hitting the nail on the head:
-You have to understand each question type
-You have to know why the correct answer is as such
-It is arduous and tedious work, there is no way around it
I'm looking for a study group that includes others interested in taking the June LSAT, please let me know if you hear of one!
The intuition was not strong enough on this question, but it is getting stronger! I thought about A for a moment but it was overridden.
Congrats everyone! You're doing great.
Goodness me, these questions are the abstractest of the abstract. They will take lots of practice to feel confident/choose an answer/choose the correct answer.
To anyone else struggling with these: You will get better! Everyday you learn more and become better at understanding these questions. By the time you take the LSAT you will be an expert test taker! :-)
Really tricky question. Very deserving of it's 167-level difficulty. Requires 2-3 layers of additionally complex, high-level thinking that I need to practice more. Bring on more of these questions! Let's do it.
When Kevin says, "Let's see what we get next" all I hear is the Law & Order, "DUN! DUN!"
