TBH, I had no idea what the stimulus is talking about when first reading it...

Need some help here too.
I got it correct, but it took me 4:28...
I think this requires some common sense... otherwise, it would be painful to understand the logic behind.

Don’t worry about PTs until you’ve completed the core curriculum. The problem sets provide timing exposure.
I had thought it was suggested to start timed test earlier.
Where is this suggested?
I don't remember exactly where... on some forum perhaps. It's good to know that no need to start it now, cuz I am really frustrated over the time issue.
I'll just be patience and prioritize the correctness over everything else for this stage.
Many many thanks for your help!!! Happy New Year!!!

I thot the conclusion was the third sentence: "An act or omission by one person is not right if such an act or omission by large numbers would be socially damaging."
The failure to vote and the theft then serve as two examples to prove that the conclusion is right.
Can anyone tell me what is the problem with my thoughts?
According to the explanations, the main conclusion/what the author tries to convince you is: Every citizen should vote [despite that a single vote may only have insignificant impact, because if everyone does that it would be detrimental to society].
But I do think this is a very weird question. I am not fully convinced by the explanations...

Speed is largely a product of mastery. Having just started, focus on acquiring the core skills first. Trying to force speed now does no good because to be frank, you don’t know what you’re doing yet. You have to correct and slow before you can be correct and fast.
Hi, many thanks for your help! I just took the first diagnostic test yesterday and felt terrible under time pressure.
Do you think it's better postpone timed practice and focus on the foundations first? I had thought it was suggested to start timed test earlier. But if not, when do you think it's the best time to start it? After I complete all the standard courses on 7Sage? Or are there any other indicators?
May I have your ideas on this please? Thank you!
Hi, I'm a new starter for LSAT - having read the Trainer, and started the courses and drills on 7Sage about a week ago.
I am a bit frustrated by the time pressure, cuz every guidebook tells you to complete certain steps when solving the questions, e.g. read the stem, stimulus, and the answers, then anticipate, eliminate and confirm the right answer, etc. But, however willing I am to complete all these steps, there's simply not enough time for me even just to read everything, not to mention the reasoning process, with RC especially so.
I'm not sure if this is the same for every new beginner, or more challenging for me as a non-native speaker - my job is an interpreter and I'm doing okay, so I would assume my language skills are not the biggest problem.
Are there any tips for me to increase my speed, the reading speed and the overall speed? Is such frustration over time pressure a common process for any new starter? How do you overcome it or improve on it please?
Please help!!! Many many thanks!
I really think this question is very badly written in a way that "follow my example" has a very ambiguous meaning - does it mean to "follow my example campaign against the incumbent" or to "follow my example campaign against the incumbent but with exceptions". Since the correct AC is A, we know that the reference does not include the "exceptions."
I got it right by doing elimination... others just cannot be right.
For B, "most" cannot do anything with the results. We all know that the electoral system can be so complicated that is not decided by the number of voters. And also the "eligible" is tricky, cuz you don't know the demographic changes in the area, etc.
