I took the September LSAT, I wish I watched this video before I took the LSAT. It is pretty perfect in describing the experience.

Yeah! I completely agree that drinking water while studying helps a lot. Make sure to take breaks too!
Don't beat yourself up about it. It is a smart decision to take the test when you're more ready and I think it will pay off for you. Thanks, good luck to you too.
I think there are other ways to simulate the "real thing" rather than risking taking the test when you're not fully prepared. 7sage has a tool that you can use on your phone that simulates a proctor. I wouldn't take the test if you're not ready; if you go into the test knowing you're not ready that is what will make you anxious versus if you've studied and have consistent scores you want on your practice tests--you'll be less anxious because you're more confident.
I found this one tricky too and thought about it for awhile. Remember this is a Necessary Assumption question. You're only looking for something that has to be true for the argument to be true. E doesn't have to be true to make the argument true. Try the negation method. If you negate E does it wreck the argument?
Negate Answer Choice E: Parts made for cars in our country are poorly constructed.
If parts are made in this country are poorly constructed it doesn't necessarily wreck the argument--they could still be better constructed than the foreign cars. You don't know what is necessarily true.
Try Negating Answer Choice D: Parts that satisfy our government standards are as poorly constructed as cheap foreign made parts.
The argument is wrecked. Why? Because Clarks parts satisfy government standards---which means if we negate this answer choice it would mean that Clarks parts are just as poorly constructed as the foreign made parts. So why prefer them?
Yeah...hahahah. This explanation is amazing and also hilarious. A nice display of the use of quick essential math skills.
