Whenever I was having trouble with time I would completely stop paying attention to it. I would do sections with unlimited time and take as much time as I needed and hide the clock. For my mental, the most important thing was knowing that I CAN get these questions right. Once I know I can get the questions right then I can work on getting them right quickly. Once I gained that confidence in my logical skills and reading comprehension, I started completing sections naturally under time. I think confidence in your ability to get questions correct is paramount to staying under time.
One thing that has helped me recently in reading comprehension is paying attention to adjectives. Outside of the LSAT, I would usually skim over adjectives thinking the only provide color not substance. In the LSAT, the adjectives the author uses tell us the authors opinions. Keeping track of adjectives, especially comparative adjectives, has helped me so much in author or character opinion questions. It also helps you understand main point. Even if a passage feels like it's super complicated and you cannot translate the subject, if you pay attention to the adjectives you can identify ideas (even if you don't understand them) that the author or characters deem good, bad, or anywhere in between.
@Robert Carlson I understand now about vacuous truths, but wouldn't the first half of your explanation apply to answer choice D as well as far as last year vs. this year?
How on earth is B descriptively accurate. I eliminated it because it is not and was left with C, the only accurate answer.
B says "the reactions most commonly displayed by participants in the Ultimatum Game." The reactions we are talking about are not even CLOSE to most commonly displayed. The interactions/reactions we are looking at only account for 4 in 100 of interactions. In the Ultimatum game, 2/3 of people offer about half. And for the 4 in 100 "most respondents reject such offers." This is conflating the referential "reactions" in the AC to a much smaller subset of "reactions" in the passage that mentioned.
How am I supposed to know that this referential is talking about only the 4/100 reactions?
All other answer choices are not accurate except C.
I've done this twice where I think "latter" refers to something happening more recently in time rather than something mentioned second in a sentence. I thought E was talking about His 1929 sculpture. Then the answer would be correct.
@ppersau6621 It got me. If they switched the order of E and A, I wouldn't have fallen for it. A good reminder to read all answer choices no matter how confident you are on non prediction questions.
I am very confused as to why answer choice C in its contrapositive form does not strengthen.
/canceled-> /PD.
PD -> canceled.
I don't think it's a some or most statement, so why wouldn't this contra help. It looks like the other premises and links them together.
I hate the wording of this question. When discussing art, the term "latter" is often used to discuss time period of an artist's work or a period of art. I thought "latter" was a referential to the descriptor 20th century not to the second in the list (permanent collection) therefore thinking that everything in the store was displayed. I guess it's incorrect to think that 20th century could be latter considering there is no relative and an even "more latter" period (21), but I still believe the usage of the word latter in an art context is poor.
"We are the ones who are confused when we to read their language because we are not used to processing language the way they are." I am the one who is confused when there is a typo.
I was able to eliminate all the other answer choices, but was hung up on AC (D) because i thought we were taught that /uncomfortable does not equal comfortable, it only equals not uncomfortable, which could be mild comfort. Took too much time on this question.
