The first part of this is killing me lol. That being you are so right about the mindset going in. I'm currently on the road to taking my second attempt and I have days where I feel I am on top the world and on the right track and days where I am a complete crash-out, but the mindset you have is the rubber band that snaps back (eventually lol). All that to say, test day is pretty standard. You check in and you just start, right then and there. All happens kind of fast in comparison to all other standardized testing in my opinion. Good luck!

These damn implied questions. For whatever reason, I struggle the most with these :(

I hate when in a lesson, an aspect of the answer does not encapsulate what has been clearly pointed out. I understand that answers aren't going to be perfect sometimes but similarly to this one, it the answer feels wrong because it doesn't mention everything....POE I guess..

The wording of this answer is kinda throwing me. I understand that Jazz is being used as an example of how Ellison's work is, but I guess I should have attributed that to the term "context" - Using an example of an art where what Ellison is doing is more identifiable.

@notsurewhyimdoingthis It just one of those things were this is just so your brain has a map to follow. After understanding the concept, the idea is it'll become intrinsic.....but, yk... the journey gotta come first : |

The mental gymnastics I just did for number 4 for some reason was unreal.

The only way that this makes sense to me is the transitive property.

The conditional statement is " Only if their financial problems are solved can they and those around them be happy"

being happy is a subset (suff.) of having solved financial problems. (nec.)

In order to be happy, one must not have financial problems

happy -> /finance problems

finance problems -> /happy

The whole visualization of bubble subsets has really helped me internalize the idea behind conditional statements while my mind tries to reinforce word triggers along the way. While I am not 100% perfect at these yet, I feel like I'm finally making some leeway in actually understanding the patterns.

I feel like I am getting it but I literally hate this so much. I am losing my mind.

😞 sigh

Having a moment of weakness.

For context, I signed up to take the June LSAT in congruence with graduating undergrad this past May. I didn't have anytime to really study and with the expensive nature of the exam, I went and took it anyway with low expectations of course. I scored a 150 which is exactly where I though it would be tbh. Since then, I have started a full time job and studied as much as I can with the timing of work and while its definitely going to take more of an effort on my part, I'm overall just feeling burnt out and slightly scared for this next exam I scheduled. I am not doing amazing on my practice drills and I am personally aiming in the 160-165 range. I know its possible, I'm just having a hard time with it all. I really want to apply this app cycle but I'm having this sinking feeling I may have to put it off another year all because of this score.

long story short....I'm in shambles.

@philanderknox The way I interpret it is that A more or less supports the conclusion being said which is that it is not wise, "not prudent", to grow genetically engineered crops. In other words, it is not wise to grow enhanced products because there is a large financial risk, and there could be a study that exposes them as stated in the exceprt.

I accidentally just ignored the "Except" part in this stem for some annoying reason.

I often fall into the issue of not following my gut on certain questions like this and its so frustrating.
