Am I supposed to just keep doing LR questions like this? Is this supposed to do something for me of which I'm not going to be cognizant until I hit the next PT?
You did the whole packet?

I think so, yes.

Only 120 questions. Seriously, I've seen half of these.

Then make some of your own.

Do weaken questions and think about what would strengthen the arguments.

Or just redo the strengthen again

Well maybe I will!

Nah, I'm moving on to Weaken now. But, I'll flip through Kaplan and see if they pulled different Strengthen questions tomorrow. If I see that question about the bronze age spear arrowhead battles, I'm out. Worst question ever.

I took LSAT 41 today and got a 162. I'm going to chalk part of that up to having many interruptions including, but not limited to: a cat jumping on my lap and deciding to clean herself before jumping off to puke, a certain individual outside with a tiller in a garden beginning to scream because she hit a rabbit nest, and having to pause to give someone a ride to the body shop.

It's just hard to get into a good rhythm when you have those sorts of distractions.

However, 7Sage Memory Method is helping my RC scoring. I understand it is more or less the same advice as several other companies. That is, read a paragraph, understand the main point of that paragraph and how it fits into the passage as a whole, then move on to the next paragraph and repeat the process, etc. But, sometimes you just need the same thing said to you in a different manner for it to click.

What level r they

I went -7

Last game destroyed me going -4 on it alone (including the acceptable scenario question).

Spent way too much time on game 1, and just felt rushed to properly think about the rest of them.

LOL

They become carcinogenic when heated, they've been unquestionably been shown to cause birth defects, and some people just enjoy avoiding preservatives in food that are unnecessary. And nbd I bought it at TJs, ya know what that stands for bill?
