Love the holistic approach to studying. It's so true that a healthy lifestyle really benefits your studies.
Really in my head about taking the next practice test. I'm freaked out that after spending HOURS over the span of MONTHS on this curriculum that I will see little improvement. Hoping I'm wrong! Fingers crossed.
Woot woot! Very surreal to be at the end of the core curriculum material. So nervous to take another practice test and see where I'm at now!
Also, it really felt like there should have been confetti or something when I clicked the "Complete" button for this lesson lol
@IsabellaP The text says the local colorist's applied a "mythic significance" when describing the work of the "women's culture" they were mourning. It went on to describe the "women's culture" they were mourning in overly optimistic terms (the garden as a paradisal sanctuary, etc.). But for me, it was the specific wording of "mythical significance" that made "misguided" seem quite appropriate.
@caldepp686 This helps me, too. Sometimes I highlight just those things to strip everything down and just have the primary points clearly shown.
Man I want to get to the level where I feel like I develop a mastery over the test. So inspiring... Thanks for sharing! Loved hearing his strategy tips.
Brutal. Honestly thought I was doing really well on this drill and was surprised to see how many I missed. Also surprised to see the level of difficulty on my second passage, because I really thought it would be a level 5 and felt like I was crushing it. Haha shoot!
@Gracetorres151 Haha relatable. I feel the same way after this drill. Absolutely brutal.
Kevin's explanation for why answer choice "C" is incorrect is excellent. Answer choice "E" felt clunky, but it definitely embodied what the reference to the Fur Seal Treaty "primarily served" best.
This question took me almost 10 minutes and I can't believe it was only a level 3 haha
When I saw the question was on the 1991 case, I used the search to find "1991" and highlighted "1991," "After hearing testimony," "the court reconsidered," and "The court now held." These phrases seemed to show the flow of how their decision was made, which is exactly what the question was asking.
I knew A was wrong because they were widening, not narrowing, a term, and the term was not "long-standing."
I knew B was wrong because the interpretation question was not over "within living memory."
I knew C was wrong because they were not adhering to the FWS regulations.
I knew D was wrong because they weren't making a new interpretation on the original treaty.
That left E, through process of elimination, and E was very easy to see as correct just based on my highlights from earlier. "After hearing testimony" (testimony establishing)--The testimony surrounded the historical facts around the many uses of sea otters before occupation by the Russians in the 1700s.
If I were to guess what the answer would be by just reading the question stem before reading through the answers, I never would have anticipated E to be the right answer. But process of elimination and really watching the "flow" of how the decision was made made it an easy answer choice even though it seems like an odd choice.
@soflaw I agree! The legal drama is way more exciting than science or humanities lol
@EricT024 I liked this stimulus better. And the questions were even interesting. But the freaking answer choices were impossible! I definitely preferred the answer choices from the LHB stimulus.
@jansenbienmbelarmino Took me just over three minutes, but still feels like a win after missing the last two on both initial AND blind review lol
Hi there! I'm interested in tutoring. Can you send me a message with your pricing? Thank you!
