Sadly, I played myself. I was going to choose D, but then I convinced myself that I was being tricked and that the right answer was disguised in "It succeeds" only if I read them carefully enough. Talk about being your own worst enemy sometimes. smh.
Hello everyone,
I am posting this in LR because LR is something very new and foreign to me and I feel that if I can master LR, RC is going to be a breeze. Now, I know the answer off the bat is going to be "do what feels best for you," focus, and discipline. I completely agree with that sentiment, yet I wanted to see what has worked best for you and why with the entire goal of inspiring others to learn and add new tidbits into their current strategy.
If you do chunking, how many words do you chunk when you read and why does that work for you?
For those of you who don't chunk what works best in your strategy and why?
I have realized that for myself, that I had developed very bad reading habits after leaving college, I've been out a good while so I skim a lot and hardly read as much as I used to. For now, I have gone back to "word by word" reading until I can spot important words while chunking. My goal is to chunk 3-4 words as I read.
Currently, I time out towards question 4/5 leaving me rushing to just pick an answer and pray I got it right. Slowly, I have gone from getting 1 answer right to 3/5 on a good day until I get to the level 4-5 difficulty level questions and then I get 1 or 2 right if I am lucky enough to figure it out, but then time out for questions 3,4,&5.
Looking forward to reading your story.
Thank you for your time,
Alfonso
I was on the right track searching for the conditional indicators Unless(in the text), Until, Except, Without, but failed to realize that OR (in the answer choice) is part of this group! Now, it's not the best strategy, but a lot of the answers are heavily paraphrased compared to the text, and you can eliminate a lot of the wrong answers by identifying paraphrased words from the different groups (1-4) you will at least get closer to the right answer. Again, it's not foolproof but logical strength/similarity does matter!
D seems so tempting because her conclusion brings up the additional cost. I know we are supposed to strengthen the support, which is why C is better than D. Still... :( lol
Stay away from Marijuana=THC or vise versa. I could have easily gotten the right answer if I didn't think that M&T is one and the same.
In a time crunch, I completely fell for the trap answer. Touche.
I knew I should have added the percentages. I had chosen D but then I was like hmmmm maybe the math isn't related and chose C :/
Although I completely understand the question, I took the LSAT Flex in February at 4:30 pm, after having an amazing relaxed day the day before, a nice meal healthy to fuel me before the test, and was in the most comfortable office provided to me by one of the partners the results were horrible for me. Let me help all of you by sharing my experience with the test and that is regardless of what time you take the LSAT-Flex, it's not going to matter if you don't breath LSAT. I urge you more to study for this like the hobby you love to do the most. As of now I am studying 6 hours a day, broken up into 2 hour blocks. Find a study schedule that works for you, and I will hope that regardless of what time you choose to take the test you are so well prepared that it just doesn't matter.
I got this wrong because I somehow fooled myself into thinking that any answer choice with strong logical force is automatically wrong. Pay attention to the logical force in the text and find an answer with the same logical force. The only good thing I had going was that I did have A as my 50/50 choice, so I would have chosen it if I didn't buy into my mistake that it's "too strong of an answer."
Holly, congratulations!!!
