I read somewhere (maybe 7sage) about how you could approach MSS questions like NA questions, and that kind of approach helped me a lot! What this means is that you approach it with the kind of surgical or otherwise very restrained caution, to make s…

This is one of those annoying questions where it comes down to a single word. In this case, it's "several," which could mean anything like three children or 30 children. Either way, it's not a big enough portion of the 100 children studied to really…

I'm also signed up for both, but will cancel March if I don't feel like I'm within shooting range of my target mid-Feb. Commenting to see if anyone else is in a similar situation and follow this post haha

@ata9144 @oshun1 When I first started taking PTs my "average" was pretty skewed because I wasn't as strict on time (sometimes gave myself a couple extra minutes here and there), so it's hard to tell if my scores dropped more because of applying the…

@Bamboosprout You can bring an analog watch, so I just pace myself based on that. And yeah, it varies depending on the passage but in general if I'm going way over time then I'll know I need to really hurry up if I'm going to get to the last passage…
-
Recently I've been playing with reading speed and have started spending more time up front on the passage and going through the questions faster, but sometimes I do feel what you're saying -- I start becoming too lax with my time and thus start to s…

I'm also tentatively planning for March, but I'm working full-time so I can only manage one PT a week + BR through the first half of the week and then drill sections the second half of the week (ideally). But if you're studying full-time, you can de…

@"David.Busis" -- as always thank you for everything, but just wanted to point out that the link doesn't work!

Love this thread, as RC is also my biggest issue/focus right now. How long do most high scorers tend to spend on the passage? I know this varies, but I've been trying to spend longer on the passage and am just curious to see the ballpark range.
-
One thing I've noticed recently in my prep is that if I can't articulate the flaw or the reasoning very well just from the stimulus, then it's better to skip it and come back later. Your chance of getting that question right is extremely low at that…
-
One thing to add to this is that the time you spend studying will depend on what stage you're at in your prep. If you're in the core curriculum and early phase of getting used to question types and developing baseline familiarity, then you can reall…

@akeegs92 I can get in about 1.5-2 hours before work and then after work I try to get in about 2 hours but I seriously need to work on the quality of that time haha (often distracted / doing other things so the actual study time may be less).
-
I'm also working full time but my work starts a bit later than your situation, so I can afford to study a good amount in the morning (which is more optimal than studying after work, which I used to do, just because you're not tired from work yet). S…

Thanks for bringing this question up -- I got it wrong so it's good to review! I'll try to give the explanation a shot. Starting with the stimulus, let's say that the Scorpio Miser costs 200, the regular Scorpio costs 100, and gas costs 5 dollars a…
-
@Nicolekh sums it up nicely, and just to add in: It might be helpful to rewatch JY's video in the curriculum about Necessary Assumption questions because D is very clearly not an NA but could be seen as a kind of Sufficient Assumption. I think the …
-
This is a hard question, and @bobalicious points out a good way to modify the conclusion to make the argument more airtight. I say it's hard, though, because even though the argument is vulnerable to the question of what would happen to a dog if you…
-
I also thought this question was a bit difficult, and I think I got the answer by leaning heavily on POE. I felt weird about B because I also didn't want to equate "advantage" with "not being damaged." But I think I can grasp a bit of your misunder…
-
Unfortunately I haven't taken this PT yet so can't help out here haha but hopefully someone else will come through. Best of luck with studying!
-
Ah I see --- and yes, I am treating 1 and 3 (Financial Rewards and Money) as the same thing. I kind of understand why you might see them as two different things, but I feel like it's one of those LSAT stress/burnout situations where you start makin…
-
It's interesting because what you say: And so at this point I'm almost not sure what I should tackle. Do I tackle the fact that the author's conclusion doesn't address the argument of the Economists properly or the fact that this survey only rep…
-
In response to the statement you quote, "To weaken the author's argument, we need to strengthen the economists argument," that's definitely true, though I don't think I consciously think about it that way. Unless it's one of those disagree questions…
-
Thanks for your response! During BR it did cross my mind that the "most" argument seemed reversed. But I thought that it would still strengthen the argument because it shows a relationship between the two types of resistances. I messed around a bi…
-
In terms of POE, I think you do a good job with the other choices. For A, I would refrain from going too deep into thinking about what constitutes a "good" reason for either the merchants or the government. Who cares about the reasons and/or whether…
-
Your analysis is really good, and under timed conditions I just pre-phrased like you did and went looking for the answer that most matched. The others I quickly eliminated without considering them too much because they didn't seem to get at the cruc…
-
Answer choice A is correct because the argument being made is paradoxical. It says now that we found titanium in this one thing made by Gutenberg, we can be support two things: 1) this other thing was made by Gutenberg and 2) this Vinland Map that a…
-
Yeah you're on the mark -- A is correct because what must be true for the city council to be changed is that not everyone follows the guy's lead and campaigns against everyone else but ultimately votes for the only person they actually have the righ…

It would be helpful if you could explain why you thought C would block out any alternate explanations for the prevented deaths. So the conclusion being made is that the use of safety seats has been effective. It does this by anticipating a countera…
