PrepTest 130 · Section 2 · Question 2

Phase 1 (your first ~400 questions): read the guidance, then answer. No clock.

Step 1 · Pre-Question Guidance · read this first

Question type
Attitude
The one idea it tests
Find the author's mood from word choices, then match its strength.
The basic logic
Use the Voice Tracker: is the author worried, critical, or pleased? Look at the adjectives for progress. Then pick the attitude that matches the evidence in strength, not one that predicts the future or doubts the work.
Tiny words that decide it
  • “yet”
  • “despite”
  • “progress”

Playground logic

The kid passage calls the new tools helpful and replaying "a great way" to test guesses. The writer sounds pleased with how far the club has come.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 1 (Questions 1–7). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: The Lost Recess Games →

Step 3 · Try the model question

The kid passage's author most likely feels which way about the club's recess research?

Choices

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 130, Section 2, Question 2 in your official copy from LSAC (for example in LawHub) and read it there.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 2 in your official copy and answer it first.

Circle the evaluative words across the passage, especially near the opening turn and the words describing methods. Decide positive, negative, or mixed, then decide how strong. Choose the attitude that matches both the direction and the strength. Make sure every word of your choice has support in the text.
