I'm struggling to see how the argument specifically states that Sumerian civilization collapsed due to irrigation-related factors. The argument says "when its soil became unable to support agriculture, Sumerian civilization collapsed", but two things can happen at the same time without one causing the other. I read this as an assumption that the two occurrences were related.

I got this wrong during the timed PT and during BR because I thought that the "system posited by the two physicists" was the riddled basins of attraction, while the model was the system described in paragraphs 2 & 3. I'm not sure how I made that error, but any tips for making my brain not do it in the future?

I've been spending at least 1:30 too long on each passage (according to the PT analytics) since I've started studying and I've felt like that's a problem, but it seems like the takeaway here is that it's not a problem as long as I'm answering questions more quickly?

tbh the scene where Charlie is confused about Pittsburgh immediately made me think of part-to-whole flaws

Now that the August edition is out of the way, what are some best practices for preparing for the retake in September? I've been doing weekly PTs/BR and daily drill sets since April, and I've been presuming I should try to stick with that rhythm so that my LSAT brain doesn't rust, but I'm curious if there's a different approach I should be considering.

I got this correct but spent 30 seconds too long on it - does anyone have tips for processing the ACs (and their implications for the reasoning in the stimulus) more quickly?
