I thought this was A because I read B and thought "well why should they be renovating the train station?" because they need to attract more residents. And that lead me to thinking this was the over arching argument being made. I think its a little more clear now that my logic is backwards. Attracting more residents is supporting the reason why they should renovate the station, along with all the other sentences pertaining to why a train station is good. I'm a little upset I got this wrong lol
Also just tip, I know probably nobody else is taking it. but do some warm up questions! I didn't have time to do any warm up LG's and it threw me off because that was my first section...we persevere though!

My order was LG - RC- LR
LG
ordering of student seating (maybe?)
upper and lower floors
break in at a museum
econ course w prerequisites
It was really hard mostly because it was my first section and I was really nervous. Also I kept getting the upper and lower floors mixed up in my mind. Could have been -0 could have been -5 (LMAO).
RC-
Britaain - English Pacifist
Inuit gov't in Canada
Judicial philosophy
Keystone species
Relatively easy. I thought. One question in the keystone passage that i'm still unsure about.
LR-
high sodium diets (still can't figure out the answer RIP)
Chinese dinosaurs
arson/cracked glass
Huh...I had the same RC but totally different LG and LR....is that normal?
My test wasn't so bad I felt...But I was pissed right when the time went off I just figured out I was wrong about one of the LG's. and it was SO obvious....now it was me second guessing everything.
For A I was thinking that since the enemies didn't want people to know they are lying they destroyed as much documentation as possible so people could only go off what they said.
same..the motivation is trying after work :/

my test scores were hitting my target and now they are lower than they've ever been. no idea what's going on.freaking out!!
This was exactly happening to me last week. I was getting 9 points below my average for like 3-4 PT's
What I realized is that I stopped reading the LR and RC critically and stopped doing LG's without fully trying to find all the inferences I could. Basically my test taking strategies were getting lazy and I was relying to heavily on my intuition. So what I did was went back to basics and reviewed breifly each type of question to reinforce the process in my head. Remember every question comes down to
Know the question stem, seeing the conclusion, then the premise, and then figuring out what you need to do for the question.
After that my score went back up slightly but I decided to stop taking PT's and just review with the goal of reinforcing good habits.
Hope that helps!And also go easy on yourself, you were flying high before, you can get there again with gentle reminders.
Anybody else just really anxious about this test for some reason? I know that I studied a lot but I really want this test to be awesome and kill it. I've been meditating before I do any LSAt stuff and that does help. Anyone have any other tips for calming down or relaxing when you get nervous or anxious? It's my first time taking it so also no idea what to expect.
According to the website you have a year after your test date to complete it but you won't receive your score until after it is complete I think. And it takes up to 3-4 weeks for it to be processed.

C tripped me up because I saw "A work of art of art commissioned for a public place ought to benefit the public, and popular opinion is the ONLY way of determining what the public feels is to its benefit"
I guess that sentences breaks down like
Work of art commissioned for public → Should benefit the public → Popular opinion say its good
but that's still not what answer choice c was saying....sigh.
