LSAT flex: skipping questions

I am practicing for an online version of the LSAT and one difficulty I am having is knowing which questions to skip, specifically when unable to easily see the next few questions. For example, on RC or LG it might make sense to skip a game / passage and come back to it later but such a gametime decision is difficult when it takes time to go ahead and look at future questions. Comparatively, in Live Commentary videos, it looks so easy since each side of paper has 4-5 questions.

Any advice?

The goal here is to find a distinction that breaks the analogy down. Just like there is a difference in motivation behind entering the lottery and purchasing an insurance policy, there could also be a difference in the odds of collecting on that. In fact, there could be many more distinctions to break down the analogy than just paying for chance v.s. paying for protection.

However, even with this distinction in odds, it does not necessitate that it is unwise to purchase a lottery ticket but wise to purchase insurance. The odds actually do not matter. What matters is the result of each action and the average expected payout of the lottery could still be higher than that of the insurance even if the odds of winning the lottery are lower.

Seems like there is an equivocation between the terms "religious" and "divinely inspired" as opposed to what answer choice B suggests which is that the two times "religious" shows up, those words refer to different concepts

Confirm action

Are you sure?
