This book is making me feel exteremely frustrated and stupid PG95 basic translation drills
I got the book about 3 weeks ago, Im starting to study the LSAT and a friend of mine who took the test recommended it to me.
I just finished chapter 3 and I am now on the drill ater that called basic translation drill on page 95
Throughout my time reading it so far, I don't know if its because I am reading it too slow or if I am stupid but this books as made me feel extemely dumb. I am getting alot of the drill questions wrong and I am having to go back to figure out what I did wrong and I thought at the time I was just new to alot of concepts so I made a wrong answer journel and have been putting eveything I put wrong in there.
As soon as I got to the drills after chapter 3 I feel as if I am just too stupid to get things right, I am trying to translate like the book says but I keep misremembering details or not translating everything like the answer key does. I really want to do better and translate the stimulus better but I don't know how to improve or if there is something I missed.
I read the stimulus
Cover the entire stiumus with my hand
Do my best to translate without looking
I feel like I am missing something, I have not gone past question 10 on the drill. I am unsure if I was supposed to do this in one sitting or not. I don't know if I am going through this book inncorectly, I try to tackle the book everyday to try to see what I am doing wrong.
Sorry if the post seems like scattered thoughts, I am extremly frustated that I may not be understanding something, I really want to learn and continue on but I don't know what I should be doing to understand how to translate the stimulus correctly.
I don't think it's the book's fault but I really need some help understanding how I can approach the translation drill or the book in general.
