Same answer, different reasoning
Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2014 12:27 am
Hi all, hope everyone's prep is going well.
I'm working through the PS bibles and for those of you that don't know, each chapter covers a concept and concludes with a set of practice problems from past LSATs as well as a section that explains why each answer was wrong or right.
What I've found happening to me from time to time is I will get an answer right but using different reasoning than the book describes. I imagine that this isn't a problem, seeing as A) the answer is right and B) I used the methodology correctly enough that I was able to determine why the other questions were wrong. Still, I can't help but think that this will become problematic when I face that one big bad question that will stump me, or worse: that this will be good enough to secure a "good" score but will fail to earn me an elite score (170+).
Thoughts?
