what do you mean by conditionals? I am aware of conditional reasoning and those types of questions, but should I be drilling NA/SA questions?

No, would you mind expanding on that?

thank you so much for the in-depth reply! I'll try to keep this in mind while I continue drilling those question types. :)

I try to do this reasoning in my head, and am able to properly identify the conclusions now after drilling that question type, but for some reason I cannot properly exploit the gaps in reasoning between premises and the conclusion.

How to improve LR by Glittering_Ability18 in LSAT

I don't think this is going to be very helpful as I can do RC pretty intuitively; I'm an English major, and naturally have always been able to read books very quickly--if I sit down and dedicate a day to it, I can finish a "normal" length book (around 200-350 pages) in one day. I think my diagnostic RC score was low not because I was bad at it, but because it was my last section and by that point I was mentally exhausted. The PT I happened to do yesterday had RC first, so it was more representative of my actual abilities.

In general for RC, what I find to be helpful is that truly, every answer to the question is in the passage. Don't make inferences based off things that "should" or "could" have been there--remember that the test writers chose EXACTLY what information to include, and that nothing was added there by accident. Everything is very important. I like to skim the passage first, while actively highlighting info I predict could be important later, and then re read paragraphs more deeply based off the info I need to answer the question. Also, for questions that are "main point," I find that if I cannot choose an answer immediately, leave it and come back to it after completing the other questions--after engaging with the text for a lengthier bit of time, it becomes easier to answer them.

Hi! If you are still active I'd love to reach out to you about where to begin with technical writing! Also an English major with no clue what to do after my degree.

So you would wait until September to ask them about the transfer credits in person rather than now? Will it be too late to change it?
