I misread A and thought that it was asking about the 17th century versus today. I totally understand why I got it wrong.

I rejected B on question 20 because of the word "new". It was clearly a new "language", but hasn't fractal geometry been around for longer than that?

I hated this book in high school, so I was curious to see if my perspective had changed to a significant degree.

Nope.

It may be a classic, but I just cannot stand the storyline.

For 17, I got confused, assuming "fungal components" meant "components of a fungus" rather than "the fungal portions of the symbiotic lichen". This makes a lot more sense now!

I definitely got confused by the wording and assumed it was asking his opinion on the rock itself rather than arguments about it.

As someone who studied science with a minor in astronomy, thank you for walking me through all the other things in the entire 7Sage curriculum that my studies didn't cover! It's a bit of a treat to get a passage that I'm more familiar with.

The last question really helped! This time, I was more cautious with my choice, and made sure to pick one that involved a "measuring stick", as that was present in the stimulus.

I assumed that physiological science was the inappropriate authority, as we are discussing mental maturity. C makes more sense, though.

I got this right, but I was still considering B to be a weaker possibility.

If I understand right, B is merely a further explanation not considered, but because the existing argument is still intact, B is the incorrect choice?

#feedback this question had a glitch for me. The word alignment of the paragraph kept "jumping" back and forth a few time every second, making it very difficult to read the stimulus.

#feedback my first question had a glitch where the words in the stimulus kept bouncing back and forth--like the system was trying to align it, but couldn't settle on how to do so. It was incredibly difficult to read. The question was Prep Test 112 Section 4 Question 3.

Oof, I'm struggling. I was between B, D, and E. Part of my confusion was the term "qualifies", which I interpreted as "shows why the conclusion is correct". Note to future self: in an argument, something that "qualifies" something else means that it adds conditions or exceptions.

I've been reading some of these quickly, and going with my gut, but I was getting a lot wrong. Finally got this one, though I took a lot more time.

Lesson learned, AP questions require slower thinking for me.

Astronomy was my minor, and it definitely did not help in this case.

I just need to rant to set the record straight. Stars actually become brighter towards the end of their lives--and even that is an oversimplification, as there are stages of brightness and dimness. Furthermore, brightness is also dependent on the mass of a star, so you cannot determine age from a snapshot of brightness alone, and you will often need other data (such as composition, the star being present in a star cluster, or monitoring changes over time) to determine age.

Yes, I know none of this matters on the LSAT. Even so, it's annoying to have baseline knowledge be a genuine hinderance--especially when it usually comes in handy.

At this point, I feel like a high number of the ones I get wrong are due to misreading something. In this case, I somehow missed the word "not" in answer B, so I selected A as I didn't like the other answers.

I was absolutely expecting the answers to exploit grammar rules, as the opposite of rising is simply not rising, yet the conclusion of the argument states that milk will DECREASE blood pressure. It doesn't change the correct answer, thankfully.

Oof. I read this as three sentences, with the "however" portion being its own sentence stating that photographs MAY represent reality, so I picked D. It makes so much more sense when you read it correctly.

I got to the correct answer quickly by finding the line at the end of the first paragraph, which states that critics often miss that the purpose of the genre blending is in order to advance a social message.

Could number 4 be combined as "If plant material is mixed into the soil, then the person can cast the Herbivicus charm, and the bacteria will increase as a result of the mixing."? Sure, it's not the most elegant sentence, but I'm trying to figure this out.
