Not being confident in MC questions would be a big indicator imo and I would focus on labelling every single part of the stimulus until it becomes automatic. After all, main conclusion questions are really the foundation of LR, given that being able…

I haven't noticed any difference between 70s and 80s. I have noticed a different between pre 70s and post 70s though. LR gets more convoluted via denser language and typical phrasings of answer choices are rehashed to say the same thing as they did …

In timed I think reading stem first is good. But when you're in an untimed setting I also think reading the stimulus first can be a really valuable heuristic. It can help foster a sense of the broader unity of logical reasoning and the ways in which…

I've been reading the full opinion on the overturning of Roe v Wade. Here's a link if you want https://d3i6fh83elv35t.cloudfront.net/static/2022/06/19-1392_6j37-2.pdf

@dzxu88 @u______u @KevinLuminateLSAT Great diagnosis by Kevin and great discussion thread. I have a marking in my notes on this exact question that reads "Interesting question re logical indicators...employing the sufficiency indicator blindly he…

You're absolutely right. I just went over my PT48 notes and found that I'd written about 700 words in my notes on Q12 alone lol. Basically tossing up this exact issue where in timed I'd selected C.

Good shit!! congrats!
-
Awesome job, really agree with your tips. Congrats on a great score!
-
Awesome timeline that reveals serious effort, congrats!

Thank you for such a detailed and very helpful response Kevin! To answer your first question, and after doing passage 4 of PT52 again just now, I think I erred when I said I felt "rewarded". This is because, as you point out, you probably don't get…

Hey dz, I think your intuitions as they stand may be what's causing your confusion here. You can definitely represent these types of statements conditionally, but they should be represented as bi-conditionals. E.g. Most Real Most Truthful. This the…

Your latter diagram is correct. It's M or W ---> MP. What do you mean you say you "know" it should translate as the former one? I think you might be getting confused by the 'ands' and the 'ors' in your first translation since it doesn't quite cap…

Hi there. My first bit of advice would be to know what score you're chasing and whether say around -8 on LR is compatible with your goal score. Given that your posting here I'm going to presume that it isn't. Since you're making ~7 errors in a secti…

Bring in 5 pages of A0 paper and you're set!

I'm doing October but I'll have done every PT from 36-present to timed conditions, while drilling and learning from 1-35 untimed

That's a bit weird since weaken (like all question types in LR to a degree) is only superficially different from strengthen. I would say try to identify what you think it is that is making you feel confident in strengthen questions. That will carry …

I avg -1 (only on PT's though and haven't taken the real thing yet) and I never finish with time left over, not so much from time pressure, but because this is how I can do the questions most effectively. For me, going back to a question after havin…

@NNNNJJJJ No problem, you are most welcome. I definitely agree that the RC theory is lacking. But a rigid approach towards RC, like that of LG, is pretty much impossible. That's also part of the reason why I think LSAC are making RC harder and keepi…

Well there's a lot to unpack there. I'm going speak on two different cases. They differ in that they depend upon the score you're aiming for in timed. If your goal score is anywhere from mid to high 170's (if it isn't, just skip this lengthy paragra…

Absolutely agree and can vouch for this method anecdotally.

@AlexgLSAT said: Claim that has consequences: A > B Consequences proven false: /B Found claim to then be false > /A Conclusion: /B > /A This is not as simple as just negating A, because the AC states that claim (suffi…

@AlexgLSAT said: This AC is saying that the stimulus says that the necessary condition is not true, so the sufficient condition can not also be true... which would in practice look something like: A > B /B /A This is…

I mean it depends on the content, but that form certainly could be a valid argument. Consider the claim, "The painting is completely red and completely green". If that claim is true, then you've got a logical contradiction. So to conclude that the …

Hi. In my view, you should detach untimed tests from timed scores. Scores are only relevant insofar as they represent the curve of a timed test. Without the time constraint that curve would be very very different. When it comes to untimed questions/…

John is taller than Mary is a logical inference though, in that it must be true. MSS is not the same thing as a proper inference. An example stem from an LSAT is "which of the following can be properly inferred from the statements above". Any answer…

That's really helpful thanks! I can even see that if we take a few to be 2 or 3, then the support the premise gives to the conclusion is still weakened, because there are now fewer cases reduced by the switch than there was without it. Is that fair?

I would personally go over the games that you've already done, preferably starting with the ones you took longest ago. Because the answers, and to a certain extent the games, are fairly mundane and repetitive, they should feel fairly new. Then go ov…
