My previous tutor who scored 176 on the LSAT Flex and attends HLS now submitted the following wrong answer journal to me. Currently, this is the template I use to to visually represent my reasonings for LR and RC sections. Could you please share yours as well? I have seen folks use Excel, table, etc to do it but personally, I like what I currently use the best.
MP+MC Pset 1: LSAT 35 Question 9
Prephrase: Not intended to be in accordance with formal set of rules → reason did not play a role in the act → cannot be considered moral behavior
- A: Extremity (all), irrelevant (selfishness → do not extrapolate. Stimulus never defined this or introduced this idea)
- B: Extremity (all), irrelevant (doesn’t touch on the relationship between altruism and moral behavior)
- C: Extremity (must), incorrect definition of moral behavior (stimulus talks about the presence of reason as the key to moral behavior)
- Correct. In line with pre-phrase → Reason does not play a role in certain altruistic behavior, which means certain altruistic behavior cannot be considered moral behavior.
- E: “Develops through”? Misinformation. Use of reason is linked to moral behavior in the stimulus, not altruism itself.
Comments
I write it out on my Ipad I can share with you a screenshot: DM me.
I try to leave some space to draw a figure that explains the stimulus (when applicable). I do that to help myself train my brain's ability to visualizing things as I read. I find that this way I will avoid misunderstanding tricky statements. The rest I do just like you, except I do not go into detail with every answer choice. About 2 or 3/5 answer choices I just write irrelevant next to: when I am sure i'd never fall for them (to save time and allocate it to other questions)
hope that helps
