Yes!!

Even if you got a question correct, you may not have gotten it correct for the right reason. It helps to know the specific strategies that the LSAT creators expect you to use to get a question right. If you skip over this important step, it could come back to bite you later on in the curriculum or you LSAT journey.

Watch the videos for insurance to make sure your reasoning is sound.

Hope this helps!

Hey! Well that sucks

How much time are you spending doing the CC at one time? A big part of learning from the curriculum for me is taking time to digest it.

I don't study too much within one session. I study, and then what I cover for that day, I make sure I understand it before I move on.

For instance, when I was working with MSS, I really struggled in the later practice sections, so I halted and went back over the questions I was struggling with. I looked over them and worked through them until I understand every detail.

If you don't feel like you can teach a subject you just studied, then you need to slow down and go back over it. If that means going back over the basics, then do it!! Conquer don't slide by. Do your best to glean everything you can from every part of the curriculum.

I hope this helps!

@cjstevens138583 and @ryanlattavo516 thanks a lot! That did help tremendously

When learning Basic Translation Groups 1 and 2, I noticed that an example pertaining to Group 1 was worded as so:

"Where the judges are independent there will be a good legal system."

I can't seem to find the correlation with the word 'where' in this sentence and how it fits into Group 1. Can someone maybe explain why it is similar to the word group that goes with Group 1, and how it can't be with the word group for Group 2: Only, Only If, Only When, Only Where, Always, Must.

Thanks!

This is sooo attainable. I think if you shoot for the stars and you fall short at least you'll fall somewhere in space. But if you don't shoot for the stars and jump, you're just going to fall to the ground. Shoot high.

A year is an awesome time frame to get some serious work in. Good luck!

Note: Think of these as if you were having a conversation with someone. Odds are you only interject when you strongly agree or when you disagree.

Example: My brother: the food has been on the stove for a couple of days. I think it's been there since Sunday, but you left it out.

Me: No, I did not leave it out. You technically left it out.

I interjected because I completely disagreed with what he said before I interjected. I didn't disagree with the first sentence or the second sentence. It was that last half of the second sentence that I couldn't agree with. Hence..... I interrupted.

That's how I look at these questions because I couldn't understand how to derive the correct answer. Hope this helps!

The fact that it said "in the short term" was the exact problem I had. It was just illogical and too presumptuous to me.

I chose A both times. I think learning how to utilize the previous grammar lessons in every question is more important than I set it up to be.

I think maybe "in the short term" correlates to the last sentence where it says, "At present, however, there is not enough African grassland to support a wild cheetah population larger than the current population."

But I still don't quite understand how "in the short term" makes it acceptable.

Can I ask what test this is? Maybe I'm just not looking it for it correctly. I've gone through this question before and nailed it, so I'd be glad to help. Just point me in the direction!

So, I got this question wrong both on the first try and in the BR. I REALLY struggled.

I've gone over it and finally understood.

(A) Young mammals of species that are preyed on by other animals are likely to engage in forms of sudden mock flight, bolting away from locations where no predators are to be found.

> the wording on this was terrible, but what I did to help it make sense was use the grammar techniques. If we pick apart this sentence we can isolate and make it look like this:

"Young mammals (of species that are preyed on by other animals) are likely to engage in forms (of sudden mock flight), bolting away (from locations) "to" where no predators are to be found."

I'm not sure if I'm explaining it effectively, but when it says "where no predators are to be found", 'to be found' expresses the future.

That's how I made sense of it. If anyone has a better explanation, PLEASE put it in here.

I've taken J.Y.'s advice and written down on small pieces of paper the PT problems that I don't understand. For some of the questions it helped, and I moved on from those once I fully understood why the correct answer was correct, but what about the other ones that I just can't seem to get right?

I only have about a few, but they drive me crazy. Should I move on? Or keep reasoning them until I have them fully understood?

How did you go about studying LR. Was that an everyday thing, or did you spread it out based on your improvement needs?

Could you go ahead and put the stimulus and questions in here? I tried to look at it, but I believe I would have to start that section.

MSS Continuance

So, I don't know about everyone else, but MSS just kept getting more and more difficult, and I feel like I have so much more to practice before I get it down.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to practically continue studying MSS? I want to be able to deal with the difficult questions a little more.

Much appreciated!
