realizing that if i had read the paradox statement as "why did the foundation chose to build a modern organ despite their goal of reconstructing the church to its original form?" - AC A makes more sense.
I had interpreted this paradox more from the angle of "why did the foundation choose to Not rebuild the old organ despite their goal of reconstructing the church to its original form?" - and that's how I waltzed myself into AC D.
@mateoking same same same. I thought I knew - but I did not know. I thought "angler" was short for anglerflish, i'm pretty sure i only know about anglerfish from finding nemo? in my mind, those are the fish with the weird illuminating hooks hanging off their head but what do I know. I literally don't know and it cost me this question lmao
i got this right but felt like i just got lucky.
I understand that AC A saying “most people” is an issue … but I also feel like saying “People” is like saying “in general, typically, usually” etc, all which imply “most” ?
I ended up eliminating AC A because it said that the argument used a claim about what most people appreciate—to me the argument only said that people “MAY” appreciate.
@SeanStrauss this was my first time getting -1 on RC so I won’t pretend like I have any wisdom to share haha pretty sure it was mostly luck. I still struggle with Implied questions but progress is in progress! The worst feeling is going through blind review and seeing all of the bars turn from green to red sigh I switched from the right answer to the wrong one and I need to stop psyching myself out! I try to come up with a prediction before looking at the ACs but I will admit I sometimes panic about timing and so then I go into the ACs and hope for the best — not -0 behavior that is for sure lol. Thank you for the response!
@ScienceAlex wow this is really interesting strategy! i am going to experiment with the highlight feature. i usually just yellow to make the conclusion and main premise pop, or sometimes i highlight the Verb i’m focused on in an Except question stem — i’ve never heard of using it in the answer choices themselves and I’m a bit embarrassed to realize i didn’t know we could highlight the ACs lol
i’m in a similar boat — just had my best RC section score ever with a -1! That same exam had -3 in one LR section … and then i missed 10 in the other LR section. Not sure what it was about that section that just wrecked me? Really unclear what next steps are but i’ll blind review and go from there i guess. How have you navigated the big variance in section scores?
Heavy agree — right now I use “Most Recent” … and then I scroll to the very very bottom of the filtered results lol I really wish there was a better way. A reverse sort makes so much sense.
@Phee 
i feel seen hahaha yup that's been my workaround too - but it's annoying to have to have this weird parallel google sheet i have to refer back to. It "works" but it's far from ideal
I am currently on the Live plan, but I prefer to watch the videos when they are recorded and uploaded so that I can pause, fast forward etc. What's cramping my flow is the lack of a way to keep track of what videos I've watched. It's the worst to settle in for a class video recording and then halfway through the 2nd problem you realize that you've already watched this class.
I'm shocked there's no playlist feature, no "Seen" tag? The bookmark feature is bare minimum tbh.
I'm also realizing that more recent classes tend to not be tagged by Question Stem and Stimulus Logic type any longer? Which is a shame because that's a great way to be able to sort through available content.
@quinn_andreychuk i found LSAT demon unbearably snarky lol I'm not sure they're any better on that front but everything is subjective of course
@mkalsi14 your explanation of AC B clicked with me. This is a strengthen question...but it's also lowkey a Resolve-Reconcile-Paradox question in disguise?!?!
Results for a retest are released the same day as the standard test administrations! So you should still get your score by aug 26th or so
@JEK23A i hate how good i am at convincing myself to pick the wrong answer with amazing and elaborate trains of thoughts
following/commenting to see if this gets more traction because i'm in the same boat. I've been watching some of the advanced causality classes and I totally get it while watching and working on the accompanying drill -- but it's just not really clicking the way i need it to click during the actual testing experience
@Farah see above! ☝🏾 truly just my two cents though and i am not a 180 scorer haha it’s just what’s been helping me be more consistent in the mid-160s!
@TeklaCo same. I also thought this question was a delightful gift, a gimme - since the introductory text specifically states that passage A is a newspaper article, I thought wow AC C is perfect! Alas! They tricked me haha
@Rena12345 this is what messed me up! I selected AC A as an example of a project that would violate the draft convention sigh sigh.
@nr that part! and that's the kind of nuance that absolutely would not have been included in my low-res summary haha. Granted, I still have puh-lenty of room to improve with RC. I've just decided to embrace my tendency to want to re-skim instead of trying to train myself otherwise. I'm taking the August and September exams so at this point I'm just focused on refining what works for me!
@nr I've found not taking notes has also helped me tremendously. I always end up skimming and stealing a look at the passage again anyway because it's right there to the left of the questions haha I can't help it. I realized that writing down an outline, no matter how low-res, just ended up not really being useful. Definitely still want to keep note of the function/structure the paragraphs play.
@yes-coconuts I of course didn't want to tag them and call them out explicitly, but phew — it's getting out of hand (to me! hence my desire to block haha).
But I thought Pulford did state the principle explicitly? Pulford's last sentence is the principle that he is using to support his conclusion no?
