So for me, it's become gospel to take my time with every single question I encounter. It might sound simple, but it has done wonders for my progress. I stop after every sentence (or paragraph for RC) and put it into my own words if I need to. I spot the logical gap, if possible. I ask myself if I really understand the stimulus. Because if I don't, I am going to fail. Oftentimes, I would convince myself that I get the general gist of a question and then try to select an answer choice which, unsurprisingly, is the wrong one. After I go through all the ACs, select an answer, and review, I ask myself: Why did I get it right? Why did I get it wrong? Could I confidently explain my answer choice to a layperson?

I was stuck in the low 150s for quite a while, but am now scoring in the mid-high 160s. By simply slowing down, I found tremendous improvement. Four and five star questions still stump me from time to time, but I know what I need to do to keep improving. It's just a lengthy process and you have to have patience with yourself.

Best of luck to you!! Keep at it and I know you'll keep improving!

This really helps a lot!!! I do find myself getting a bit careless when it comes to giving each question my full attention, and this mindset will definitely help me out. Mid-high 160s is awesome, and good luck to you too!!

Thank you! I'm glad I was able to help!

It's brutal

The question stem got me on this one lol

I didn't run into any problems until I was trying to start the last half of the test. Waited for over half an hour to hear from my proctor, but gave up. It was incredibly frustrating.

For real! E really stands out when you negate it

Missed the except....... :(

agreed

Same LOL

Immediately identified it as a sub-conclusion!! So happy that I am understanding the flow of these questions.

5/5!! I finally understand it!! Woo!

I got it right, but I feel deflated lol

3/5 but pushing through!! :)

Then it isn't burglary under common law! According to the Legal Information Institute, in common law jurisdictions, nighttime is an element of burglary. However, in those jurisdictions that have adopted the Model Penal Code, it is not considered an element. Fascinating stuff! https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/burglary

LMAO

4/5! On the final question of the drill, I had the correct answer selected and decided last minute to change it lol don't overthink everything!!

Same!

By slowing down and mapping this out, the right answer just popped out at me! Take your time and make sure you understand the argument being presented!

#fuckyoupat

Agreed!!

TRUEE. I panicked and changed my answer from C to E :(

I'm so glad I took logic classes in college lol great vid! I think this is really important to know for the test

I hate that it's not tilde!

Also looking for study buddies for September LSAT! Let's make it happen! :)

Taking in Sept and would also love to join! Let's get it done!
