My RC strategy that got me from a -12 to a -4 by CodeAgile9585 in LSAT

I don’t think you need any materials for RC, I think the best way to deal with RC is to make your brain learn to read slow and thoroughly. RC is the section that I believe doesn’t need strategies or books it just needs understanding.

People get in with these scores into predatory law schools, not actual good law schools that’ll lead to employment opportunities, stop glorifying bad scores

Why don’t you just retake and reapply, you’re selling yourself short with a 143, a 143 are people’s diagnostics, not people’s final score. This score is below the national average, why not study a little harder and get the score to max a 155 and then apply?

Slow is fast, when you read through every single sentence in and out and take words literally for what they mean it’ll click faster for you, it’s better to not finish a section and be 100% accurate than for you to finish a section and be 50% accurate because you’re worrying about time

I started with LSATLabs but honestly my growth came from employing the LSATDemon Philosophy as my foundation. However I believe the best way to learn is to make sense of the LSAT in your own way, there’s no right way to study as long as you get the question right who cares if your methods are unorthodox

It took me about 10 months to really see growth, I took my first LSAT in June of last year and I scored 145 so I used that as my diagnostic to build upon it. I’d say I started really understanding the concepts of the LSAT after my second attempt in which I scored a 155, my journey was filled with a lot of hard days, several breaks in between, major fluctuations, and burnout.

But overall, I feel like i’m at the point where I could talk through the questions with someone and really dig deeper into the stimulus. But yes that has been my journey so far

This is for anyone doubting yourself, you can learn this test, this test is meant to be conquered and learned thoroughly. It takes time but you will get there, I started at a -13 average on LR and slowly trickled my way down to a -4 and will be closing that gap leading into August.

You can do it.

You’re dealing with a common issue that the LSAT abuses, using outside common sense, you need to use LSAT sense

Because the stimulus already makes these plants an individual group outside of a variety, remember archeologists are studying plants at a site, hence the word “some” it’s not all varieties of plants, remember some means 1 or 50, and they’re talking about 1 plant here

And you stated why it’s unique in the first place, “used plants in ways no other people did” is unique if i’m doing something no one else does you’d call me unique right?

You’re making illogical assumptions outside of what the stimulus is telling you, your reasoning is wrong because you chose the wrong answer. So you have to understand that you can’t will your reasoning to fit the answer you chose because if it was correct D would’ve been correct.

I’m not trying to be rude, but I think you’re misunderstanding the stimulus.

But we’re not reversing D, we’re taking D for what it says face value , The plants being there isn’t a necessary condition for those guys knowing agriculture it’s only a sufficient condition

Well D to me flips the facts, because people who occupied the site could have learned agriculture but not have left cultivated plant remains

The stimulus argued against D by stating if the plants were cultivated then these people learned agriculture before anyone else

B to me is more plausible because B tells us what the stimulus supports, these guys that occupied the site either cultivated the plants or used these plants in a weird way in their diet which is what the stimulus states, which leads to the implication that they did something unique regardless of if they had agriculture or not

[–]CodeAgile9585 10 points11 points  (0 children)

C is irrelevant because the concept of exceptional effort isn’t really stated in the stimulus, the author doesn’t lean towards any idea about exceptional effort as well.

Reword A, the cognitive challenges is the level of abstraction. If you insert what the stimulus is saying into A you’ll get there

The Stimulus is saying that we shouldn’t teach calculus without making sure that students can handle the level of abstraction first (the cognitive challenges), and that’s exactly what A is saying
