Would appreciate if others could share best practices/approaches to note-taking when writing the test virtually. I believe six pages are allowed; how do you optimize for those six pages? Also, I haven't used LSAC just yet - is there a way to take notes on the test platform itself?
For this question type when we are resolving the discrepancy or other types of RREs, where do we draw the line between bringing in outside assumptions vs relying on the world of the stimulus? Are we only allowed to bring in five assumptions (aka the five answer choices)?
I get why (B) is right; I chose (A) because the assumption did make sense as other items could hog the electrical grid. Also, the passage didn't say air conditioning was the only strain on the electrical grid. So the causal relationship wasn't that strong imo. Anyways, would appreciate clarity on the point about bringing in assumptions. Thanks.
I get that some assumptions are more reasonable than others based on the likelihood of being true, but I thought we are not supposed to bring our "outside knowledge" into these passages?
Will the right answer always explicitly include the same subject in both statements? For example, "voters" was mentioned by both Tanner and Saldana giving us a nice indicator here.
Thanks for this video. If I've been out of school for four years, would one academic reference be sufficient? Or would you still suggest getting two academic references?
Is it fair to say that questions in the form of "most accurately represents" is another way of saying find the conclusion
In a "weaker" question such as this, are we not supposed to replace the conclusion in the stimulus with a conclusion from the answer choice? If this is the case, diatoms were only mentioned in the conclusion and we would be replacing the the conclusion. So how do we know that answer choice (D) is correct if we're supposed to essentially ignore the existing conclusion? Perhaps ignore is the wrong word here but would appreciate any guidance.
If we’re saying Elias is late, why can’t we say that Kumar is late?
Kevin, as I'm studying, I'm trying to look for patterns to help me on test day. Like in this question, I've noticed that the majority (three out of the five) answer choices start with "the decision should...". If there are repeat instances in which an answer choice starts off, is it clever to hone in on the majority aka (C), (D), and (E) here?
Or, is this recognized pattern unfounded, meaning that I should not automatically rule out any answer choices.
Kevin is the man
