Highlights

Nathan began class by offering sage advice. Practice tests don’t lie. He also suggested the Ask Button Heroes program as a way for students who score in the low 170s to consistently score in the high 170s.

We jumped into a Reading Comprehension passage about statutory law and the way law schools have apparently failed their students by neglecting this subject. Nathan reviewed the questions that the students had the most difficulty with.

Then Nathan answered some Logical Reasoning questions using the drilling feature. The class answered a Strengthen question and a Necessary Assumption question. Nathan demonstrated that closely reading the answer choices, with skepticism, is an important step when it’s difficult to predict an answer.

Finally, Nathan analyzed the students’ diagrams of the Family at the Opera game. The class learned that splitting worlds based on one variable at a time, before making inferences, can avoid confusion and incomplete setups.
