It looks like this is a rare one. There was one similar to this one from the very early prep tests and it had something to do with train lines/subway lines. And it would be helpful to practice the ones in PT 1-35 too to prepare for the possible weird ones even if the probability of them showing up is low.

Looks like A is wrong also because it is a causal statement however the stimulus appears to have a chronological statement, though causation may have been assumed in the stimulus.

@alexissiegel9219 first of all it is awesome that for difficulty 1-3 you are able to identify the flaws with rare misses. I would also like to say that for some of the hardest questions it is okay to let the answer choices let you feed the flaw so do not feel too bad about relying on the ACs sometimes.

I would suggest to go through the list of some common flaws if you have not already at https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/19-common-argument-flaws/ and study it thoroughly and think of making your own arguments to solidify the understanding. I think that helps a lot.

You may also want to think about the mistakes you are making deeply - are they common among some specific question types or are they related to you making a mistake in processing the stimulus for example not able to correctly identify the structure of the stimulus. You may then specifically target these weaknesses by maybe going through the relevant part of the curriculum again.

For tough questions i feel it also helps to isolate the fluff and focus on the argument except when the context may provide useful information to answer the question.

I suggest that while you are drilling these questions circle the ones you are unsure of and take some time off after the drill. When you come back to review the questions use a fresh print and type out the reasoning behind eliminating an AC and keeping an AC. Doing this repeatedly will make you better not only on the hard questions but will also improve your timing on the actual full length sections.

I think D is also wrong because it is much broader than what we need, our conclusion states the most effectiveness in terms of the ascent of the rocket. It does not talk about working of the rocket in general. If we negate D then the rocket is still working effectively overall after reaching into space too where it is not ascending anymore and maybe it has landed somewhere there but our conclusion that to work most effectively throughout their ASCENT we need those two nozzles still follows. I think D baits us to make the assumption that if a rocket's engine works most effectively by doing something then the rocket over all also works most effectively by doing that thing which may not be true since rockets are so much more than merely their engines.

there was one where there was a president and some managers and technicians, pt 14 i think.

I usually diagram when the information presented in the stimulus is a little simpler. In the question you are talking about there is a lot of information and sometimes diagramming using few letters cannot capture the information which may lead to incorrect inferences or confusion. However, it helps to just keep in mind the conditional structure as you are reading the stimulus. With lots of practice and blind review you will reach a point when the conditional diagramming will happen in your head automatically. I have seen JY using just symbols or a letter in order to represent complication information in the stimulus and referring back to the stimulus in order to see what the conditional is saying.

Hey, sometimes MSS questions do involve synthesising and drawing a conclusion or an inference from the stimulus, however, the correct AC can draw support from any part of the stimulus and it may not necessarily be a conclusion drawn from it. It could just be an inference which is most strongly supported.

Hey, there are going to be many folks retaking the LSAT now (even 4 times) don't stress too much about it. If you get that high 170s score the fourth attempt will be worth it. Most schools look only at your highest score. All the best for your prep :)

Hey @mickeycaleb788 apart from blind reviewing thoroughly for LR, it is also helpful to have extra time for the hardest LR questions and in order to have that one needs to answer the easiest questions on LR very fast. I would say first 10 questions (even if you skip 1 or 2) in 8 minutes and keeping an aggressive pace throughout the section so that you can give like 2 minutes to the hardest of questions which you circle (after finishing one round of the LR section). If you see some of the JY's video doing LR, he has more than 10 minutes left after finishing one round of LR section.

Make sure you are doing the blind review correctly for LR especially. Write out explanations for each question you get wrong describing why right AC is right and why an AC is wrong and try to have a take away from that particular question. Before you attempt the next PT have a look at those take aways.

Don't worry, the hardest questions are hard for most test takers, it is just that they try to keep more time in the bank in order to tackle those beasts and a thorough blind review helps in having more of that time.

It feels so sickening to wait for the score and i keep visualising the worst. I have been eating my feelings out since i came out of the test centre (had a whole large pizza by myself with a lot of cheese). I hope this gets better in the coming days for everyone.

This is absolutely fantastic! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!

I am also interested in this question, i mean how does it work? Do the schools on their own get to know your new score? I was almost convinced that none of the T-14 schools will accept the February LSAT score.

Congratulations :)

Congratulations!! this is great

Thank you @tristandesinor505 and @danielmoshesieradzki129 the session with you was super helpful and congratulations to you toooo, I just saw you have become a sage now, this is awesome

If anyone is looking for a tutor Daniel is great especially for LR, i had a session with him and he helped me with the conceptual process of solving LR questions and it helped me a lot.

Congratulations!! this is awesome

I had no idea about the LSAC tweet, i got the score while i was video calling my friend on gmail and in the middle of consoling her cause she had a break up, i was so damn freaked out too. My friend had a great time watching my reaction in real time lol

Thank you @7sagestudentservices @14719 @tristandesinor505 @tristandesinor505

@tristandesinor505 - what was crucial for me was to save time by marking less on the passage, you may already know the basic RC mantra (to read for structure and main points) but saving time was something i really needed since i could not come back to the circled questions and marking less and just absorbing the structure and main points helped me save time to get to those circled questions. May be that is something you may give a try since i have heard that different marking strategies work for different test takers and sometimes it helps to mark less.

I found the RC section in LSAT Asia to be quite difficult, initially i just skipped the bepop passage and came back to it after doing the oyster chemical protein passage. It was hard to figure out its structure.

I used to hear JY's voice in my dreams saying "First game in prep test X, it is a simple sequencing game, you should finish this game in X minutes". I thought I was going crazy.

I get why AC C is wrong, however, I did not like D cause it seems like it is saying that the changes in the automobile design in past ten years have helped drivers but our stimulus says that reduction in accident rate started to happen the very year after the reduction of speed limit. It appears that we are to assume that such changes in automobile design happened in the next year itself.

It is crucial to remember the difference between new shows produced last season and shows produced last season and to not assume that just cause it was produced last season it is going to be a new show.

Am i the only one who thought of Kungfu Panda at 4:59 lol
