Hi all,
I've been struggling with staying focused even for small drills for extended periods of time (30min lol) periods of time and it is genuinely so frustrating. Anyone else have trouble with focus? I get distracted so easily it makes me doubt myself and future career prospects :(
I NEED TO STOP SECOND GUESSING MYSELF. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
@ReneBarseghian I saw the "It probably does" as the conclusion. I can't really explain why I did it, but it felt intuitive b/c the statement after that felt like evidence, not a conclusion. For me it went like this:
Driving blah blah blah? (establishes argument)
It probably does (conclusion)
Driving position affects blah blah blah (evidence for argument, argument goes on to explain its position)
Man. I completely missed the "no sense" part and chose B like an IDIOT! I have to learn to read the entire question.
This didn't feel like a 5-star question but something something practicing for the LSAT actually makes you better something something....
am I cooked
Almost fell for D but it talked more about consumers and the process. Surprised I got this one so fast!
Side note: America's national parks are one of the most beautiful things the country has to offer. I wouldn't want to privatize the Grand Canyon or Glacier National Park, keeping land like that accessible to all is super important!!
I got this one through process of elimination, but only because the other answers didn't make much sense.
A: I don't think the immune deficiency in the brain matters that much. It shifts the blame from the microglia causing it to the BA protein.
C: this feels irrelevant and also a reverse of the causal effect that we established in the question.
D: Kind of the same problem as A, why are we shifting the blame away from the microglia?
E: Not really relevant - it doesn't mention cognitive decline at all, so why is this relevant?
My biggest opp is me....I didn't realize this was a strengthening question and nearly blew my brains out trying to figure out the answer....
That construction question almost made me give up b/c of the passage length - anyone have any tips on getting over this hump? Whenever I see a big LR question I don't really want to do it lol
Not sure why I didn't go with my gut the first time and chose C. C didn't even make sense when I looked at if after choosing it. What is wrong with me!?
@Sameer_Ahamad This is my general strategy for most LR questions. I sniff out the conclusion/support first and then I try and analyze the passage. Helps put things into context much faster!
@Moffiemoff I think for this one, I immediately eliminated it because the answer contained "no pet stores" and that language always stands out to me as being too general or restrictive. Also, the passage says that if they sell fish but NOT birds, they sell gerbils. This answer says "if they sell fish and birds, they DO NOT sell gerbils". It feels like a stitched-together version of what the answer actually is and is meant to throw us off. Hope this helps!
I felt like a damn child drawing the set circles (in different colors sob) from the fundamentals part of the course...but I got it right on the first try! This was a difficult one for sure.
I'M GETTING THE HANG OF IT!!!! Turns out the fundamental curriculum really does help!!
Gah, I initially picked A because I got trapped by the "fundamental knowledge" bit. Glad to see I picked the right answer after some more thinking!
the LSAT makes me wonder if I'm cut out to be a lawyer LMAO (mainly bc I hate taking tests) but so far I see improvement! #iamscaredofthelsat
I thought we were told to never assume...? Whatever happened to that bro
