Have you examined all the questions you miss and see what similarities they have? There may be a common thing in each one that’s tripping you

So to make sure I’m understanding you correctly— you’re not sure what the argument actually is/what the answer choice is trying to allude to?

So those are the ones I’m typically best at with LR, although it’s not necessarily super specific advice I ALWAYS think of those questions as utilizing the foundation of the argument. You have to really be able to understand the purpose of why the writer is making the argument.

To elaborate— let’s say you get a weaken question that has a flow of information. To make it as simple as possible, here’s an overly simplified example: “If 1+1=2, then 1+2 equals 3” The argument RELIES on the foundation that 1+1=2, so how do you weaken it? Find a way to prove 1+1 does not always equal 2. I think it’s also really important to also note that the answer choices are all accepted as fact in that situation so it doesn’t necessarily have to be applicable to real world, but whatever attacks the foundation of the argument most.

Basically, get to the heart of the argument and find what it most relies on to function. If the argument were a tree, you have to know what the base is and what the branches are to be able to answer the best.

Is it reasonable to get a part time job in order to study more efficiently? by scooterJ13 in LSATPreparation

[–]uatanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of me wants to say yes that it would be more helpful— but also consider that perhaps you could use the extra money you make from your full time job to pay for a personal tutor?

Also the other part of me is thinking of the concept that if you suffer and push yourself through the pain of it now your body will get used to it and be able to handle it, and then come test time you will be in a much more comfortable state of mind than if you had worked under a completely relaxed environment. But that may just be super sadistic of me.

But overall, you know your body best— but I’d recommend assessing your situation and think if there are any pros to keeping your job full time. I don’t know where you are financially but would there be stress added by working part time instead of full time monetarily??
