I wonder if you might be able to reduce reliance on the medication by performing 30 min. of aerobic exercise, mediation and/or yoga classes? These activities are not as easy as popping a pill but could both, help reduce anxiety and promote a good nights sleep. They are proven to be helpful.
Sleeping tips I found helpful: Studying or just being outside in sunlight. (Shade or with sunscreen, of course) Breathing exercises (in/out thru nose) balances the parasympathetic nervous system with the sympathetic system. The sympathetic system controls anxiety. The long exhale promotes the parasympathetic nervous system, which is part of the relaxation response.
CANNOT is group 4 (negate necessary)? JY simply mentions it's in the lessons, but it would be helpful to know where exactly in the core curriculum (CC) this lesson can be found. The CC is vast and complex and difficult to find exactly what is needed.
How do we find the "Group 4, negate necessary lesson"?

Such a seemingly easy question, however I choose the wrong answer, E. To me, a way to weaken an argument is to point out overlooked possibilities. If horse racing was a popular diversion in 1900, as the answer affirms, then it's weak to highlight "reading" as opposed to the many other ways they may have chosen to amuse themselves. So, I thought it's a weak argument to choose one diversion like reading which has not been confirmed to be popular, to a known popular diversion such as horse racing. But this doesn't weaken the argument as much as "B".
However, since the argument compares our reading to their reading, the best way to attack the reasoning is to attack the faulty comparison, by showing how unlike our lives are to theirs. Lesson learned!
I have an issue with B not illustrating "backwards" planning. The first step in planing a garden is to first determine what plants you want, because that will dictate how to then prepare the soil. Some plants require different fertilizer, soil, shade, depth of hole for the roots, etc... So preparing the soil before you even decide what to plant is, indeed backwards.
For this reason, I feel the question is invalid, or at least ambiguous.
Greetings fellow LSAT enthusiasts! I have decided to learn each question type one at a time. This way, I feel I can master one fully, then proceed to master the next one.
Is anyone aware of any listing of LSAT questions according to type.
IE: Necessary Assumptions questions:
Test 14 Sec 2 # 13, 15, 20.
Test 15 Sec 2 # 6, 16, 23
Test 15 Sec 3 #, 3, 12, 18, 24
Congratulations on your LSAT score of 171! Along with your resume, you seem to have a strong application. However, your cumulative GPA is what is reported to US News, not your 4.0. I too have a low (3.2) cumulative GPA but even thought I have a 3.98 and graduated summa cum laude, the cumulative is taken into account. (The low GPA from 20 years ago which brought my current GPA down.)
That said, it appears that your high LSAT is sufficient to be accepted at many law schools but not the very top ones. So, it would be very interesting to know what schools have not accepted such an otherwise stellar application.
A few points higher may not make a difference with the low GPA? Not sure, but something you may wish to pose to the application office of your school of choice. I find they can be very helpful is providing general questions of these types.
For those planning on applying for Fall 2019, why take the September LSAT vs the November test?
It seems that waiting until November provides two additional months of study, yet still early enough to take advantage of early applications. (increased possibility for higher scholarships etc.)
Great post and very inspiring. I wonder what you meant by taking a "photo" of the question types you got wrong? Do you literally take a photo of the entire question or just the question stem? I suppose if you got many "weaken" questions wrong you would only take one photo of that question type, not all? It would seem the question stem (weaken) would be redundant.
Just thought I'd share some things I've learned in the course of studying for LR and that I'm really excited about!
Compile photos of the question types I got wrong most often. I have folders on my desktop labeled "Para," "NA," "Streng," "Weak."
Regarding tricky answer choice B, always beware in a necessary assumption question of answers that are too broad.
