woooooow i made up a "kids" in AC-C and crossed it off bc i thought it was saying librarians choose what kids want....i was so confused as to why i got this wrong. even in BR too. UGH !

hard to read super carefully while also trying to go fast...i guess more harm comes from trying to skim rather

i didn't know what contravened meant :(

Ugh I chose E thinking that before anything else could be reasoned, the promise had to be acknowledged and allowed to be broken... did anyone else think that way?

After watching the explanation, I see that the question clearly asks what would "require" Jack to do what he did, and answer D of course now makes sense. Guess I have to read the questions more carefully!

Hi, I'm also working my way through this same issue. One of the 7sage tutors - I think Raphael - gave me good advice on this. Practice timed sections for sure (like AlegxLSAT said) -- repetition under timed conditions so you get used to what pace you have to go at. Raphael also suggested practicing on just easy questions first which I have found super helpful! I create drills for myself with just EASIEST / EASIER level questions (this has been for LR practice I should note) -- with 20-25 questions, all easy level, and that has really helped my brain to 'warm up' and learn patterns, get used to the speed, etc. Then I do drills with a mix of easy/medium, then easy/med/hard, etc.

Maybe this was just me, but I realized I actually wasn't practicing that many full-sized timed LR sections (bc I hate them but I'm trying to pretend I love them) and so this has been a great way to sort of ease into them and make them less daunting + practice the core pattern-identifying and reasoning skills.

I also agree with AlexgLSAT said that a higher BR is a good thing -- it means you understand the core curriculum and the actual meat of the material! so don't let it discourage you! i like to think/hope that improving speed is easier than improving the initial material comprehension. Hope this helps maybe!

ok there is no way this is a 2-star passage....

also following!

Hey! I'd love to join if there is still room :)

Thank you for commenting this! Like many others here, reading this thread has made me feel a lot better.

I am also taking the Oct and Nov and am feeling a little discouraged that my score hasn't been increasing the way I want it to...I'm going to listen to the advice here and try to take regular PTs to get more comfortable with the length and format.

I'm struggling a little bit with figuring out what the best balance is between PTs and just drilling timed sections. My LR in particular has really been really hard to improve - so frustrating! I even bought and read the Loophole book but still having trouble. My first PT post core curriculum was great and I'm afraid it was a fluke :( I almost feel like maybe i'm overthinking everything now...If anyone has been feeling similar or has any tips for anything mentioned here please LMK!!!

Grateful for this community here!!
