PT 66:
RC: -2
LR1: -0
LG: -0
LR2: -1
Total: -3 (RS: 97)
Curve was surprisingly rough.
God damn tone Qs on RC always kill me. The editors of the RC passages and I clearly interpret authors' attitude differently. I do just fine understanding what the author is saying and how they feel about an issue (or else I wouldn't be doing well on the other Qs), but those tone Qs always have such bizarre answer choices. Definitely require the most subjective interpretation on the test.
Anyone have any tips for these? Or know of any good resources for help with these?

Regarding photo ID, what did you use, and how old was the photo you used? My most recent ID photo is about four years old, and I just realized that this may be too old for LSAC usage.
Have any of you who've taken the test before encountered this issue?

With these questions, are you struggling between two answer choices? If you are, the more toned down one is always the answer. Tone questions to be pretty one dimensional. For example:
This following example is from an actual LSAT that has been edited changed to avoid copyright.
The author's view toward blah blah blah described as:
A) Unbridled enthusiasm
B) Qualified approval
C) Absolute neutrality
D) Rejection towards it
E) Strong hostility
Usually by reading the passage, you have some idea of whether the author supports something, feels neutral about it, or disagrees. After you've figured that out, it's pretty easy to pinpoint the answer. Answers like A are always wrong. If A is right, then B HAS to be right. If someone is unbridled with enthusiasm, he must have qualified approval. But since we can't have two right answers, B has to be the right answer because it's way easier to establish. Same goes for D and E. If someone has strong hostility towards something, then one has to reject it.
In this example, if I get the sense that the author is supportive of whatever claims the question is targeting, I'd pick B and not look back. If he's neutral, then C. If he's against it, then D. Looking at these answer choices, I wouldn't even touch A and E.
I've always used this method and I don't remember the last time I've missed a tone RC question. Like ever.

LR1: -2 (#15, 23. Misinterpreted the context of "indifferent" in #15. #23 was just a biotch.)
LG: -1 (#3. Surprisingly time-consuming section, but missing this question was inexcusable)
LR: -1 (#14. Can't believe I missed this one. Not reading thoroughly.)
RC: -2 (#12, 19. #12 makes me furious (see my topic).)
Raw: 95 ---> Scaled: 175
Worst PT in a long time, but I'm honestly okay with it. High scores and a lack of fresh material had let me slip into complete burn-out mode these last couple weeks, and this is just the wake-up call I needed. The LR sections were surprisingly tricky, and I just made some silly mistakes on RC/LG. I only have PTs 65, 66, and 67 to go; hopefully I'll get back to form over the next week.
