@DaisukeKaga

I saw that you uploaded a screenshot from the WAJ for PT114.S4.Q16. I think you should also include "What made you pick your Actual Answer?", "What made you change your answer in BR?", "What makes your Actual Answer wrong and how could it be a better answer?", and "How can I do better next time?". It's important to self reflect on everything, so you learn from your mistakes

  1. oh will do that!

7sage reasoning structures are good because that's how the tags are formed.

  1. I think I will use it more effectively from now on!

I don't know where you picked up on "the only is a SA and only is NA. few is less than some", but that's incorrect. "The Only" indicates a sufficient condition indicator. Ex. The only way to water your plants is with water: Water Plants -> Water. "Only" indicates a necessary condition. Ex. With water you can only water your plants: Water -> Water Plants. SA and NA refer to Sufficient Assumption and Necessary Assumption, so don't get those question types confused with the sufficient/necessary conditions?

  1. what is the difference between sufficient condition indicator or SA. something I didn't consider.

Few is "Some are AND Most are not". Ex. Few people go to the store nowadays: Some people go to the store (people <S> go to store) AND Most people do not go to the store (People -M> /go to store).

  1. duly noted!

@DaisukeKaga Hey I will respond to each one!

  1. Get a good grip on the foundations, CC. You need to be able to parse grammar in stimulus, passage, AC. You need to be able to recognize reasoning structures and what you need to do in those: conditional reasoning, causal, phenomenon hypothesis, reasoning by analogy, example, etc. You need to be able to diagram conditionals either on paper or in your head and be able to translate everything correctly. That’s means not mixing sufficient necessary, knowing difference of The Only and Only, knowing what “few” means, and the strength of conditionals. You need to be able to translate the stimulus into something you can understand.

    1. I think I have a decent of understanding the basics. I think i need to work on translation drills. For reasoning structures do you recommend I do follow the 7sage reading structures? I will keep that in mind I think I can diagram conditionals pretty thoroughly. Yeah I literally learned this yesterday! the only is a SA and only is NA. few is less than some?

  2. Knowing, understanding, and habitually applying your question strategies. If you’ve been drilling great! But have you been applying the same strategy to your questions (Meaning treating MSS question strategies different from Strengthen question strategies)? You will need to have developed a strategy for answering questions and need to drill using them. This part takes a lot of time. I had to start with untimed drills and practice using these steps then habitually train myself to use them even when stressed on time. You need to re-wire your brain to see how to approach a certain Qtype and then switch gears when you see another. You NEED to approach the questions strategically. The only way to do this is consistently drill questions using your steps.

    1. I have certain strategies on how I approach certain questions! maybe! I need to hone on the type more!

  3. Thank you!

  4. I hold a really extensive WAJ. I blind review on reading, however, maybe for LR?

Thank you so much form commenting!

😖 Frustrated

Need advice to get a 165z

So I took my first timed section this weekend. I got a 150 on a full PT and feeling not great about it.

I have been studying seriously for 6 months straight. Any advice would help. I am considering getting a tutor. Any advice would be helpful, I can message my analytics.

My goal is a 165.

My best untimed sections at 19/25 for LR 21/27 for Reading. I will say from the beginning I have seen improvements but people on the internet make me feel like I am slower to learn the LSAT!

It could be a timing issue, the 4 star and 5 star questions are simply hard.

Why I got this question wrong.

By organizing civil disobedience, the minister were jeopardizing their very facts that led CORE to seek involvement.

..

"Urban African American ministers and churches had been working for decades with community and government organizations to address the social, political, and economic concerns of their communities, and ministers of African American congregations in Brooklyn had often acted as mediators between their communities and the government."

..

(Ministers) worked for political parties and ran for political office themselves.

Inference: the pastors were going more what what CORE sought to intend, even to the extent of jeopardizing their relation.

The primary function of the reference to past activities of ministers and churches (third sentence of the second paragraph) is to

a. demonstrate that the tactics used by the leaders of the Downstate campaign evolved naturally out of their previous political activities .

b. explain why the leaders of the Downstate campaign decided to conduct the protest in the way they did

I do not think it explains the motivations.

c. provide examples of the sorts of civil rights activities that the leaders of CORE had promoted

They in fact did not promote it.

d. indicate how the Downstate campaign could have accomplished its goals by means other than those used

This is what they did.

e. underscore the extent to which the Downstate campaign represented a change in approach for its leaders

This means: highlights the extent to which the downstate campaign represented a change in approach for its leaders.

This was word vomit. "It directly achieved neither all of its participants' goals for government action nor all of its participants' goals for changes in union hiring policies." -> It did not directly achieve government action OR It did not directly achieve participants goals for changes in union policies. "This agreement did not include new legislation or a commitment to a specific numerical increase in jobs for African Americans, as the protestors had demanded." P4.

The reason why I got this wrong. In passage B there could be multiple necessary conditions to explain a behavior. "behavior would be reasonable only if one had that interest" and "But such cases are vanishingly rare: an interest in Y might explain doing X." Obviously the answer is "To explain a type of human behavior in evolutionary terms, it is sufficient to show that the behavior would have improved the reproductive success of early humans." This mean there are no other explanations.

This was a fun question.
