I don't want to be that guy, but you really shouldn't have applied early to NYU if you weren't 100% dead set on attending. You made a commitment to the school, and the fact that you're so eager to drop out of that commitment because another better o…

The necessary assumption TAKES CARE of the flaw in the reasoning. So let's say that our argument is this. Rattlesnakes grow sections on their tales each time they molt. Therefore, I can know the age of a rattlesnake by counting its sections. What's…

So I got -0 on LG in November, and also currently average -0 on LG sections of PTs, usually finishing within 27 minutes or so. That being said, take what I say with a grain of salt, as it could be purely speculative on my part. IMO, the thing that …

Unfortunately, with your undergraduate gpa, figuring out which law schools to apply to will be determinant on what your LSAT score is. Law schools don’t really factor in graduate school GPA as anything other than a good soft [carries abt the same we…

Speed comes from accuracy, so focus on accuracy and foolproofing. Remember, accuracy doesn’t just mean getting questions correct. It also means getting questions done in a time efficient and game efficient manner. Focusing on accuracy in this second…

Boards are a tool, and only a tool. You should use whatever is most intuitive for you. If using a particular game board is hindering, rather than helping, your ability to comprehend and solve a game, then don’t use it.

I’d say yes. I didn’t absolutely love the 7Sage LR explanations, as I feel you learn LR better by reading through and truly thinking about the material than you do hearing someone else’s thought process. I utilize the LR portions on the Core Curricu…

I hit a breakthrough with this when I stopped trying to immediately assign a game board to a specific question and started to actually understand how the game operates. Often times, especially for hybrid grouping/sequencing, you can use a variety of…

@Amrina96k You can find that information in any LR Book, or on 7Sage. The material is going to be more broad than specific plans, so you'll have to develop a simple process for each question type yourself based on trial and error. What it really boi…

As for LR, I'll just say this much. Improvement on LR isn't going to come from reading another book again. It's going to come from doing a lot of practice questions, and thoroughly reviewing why right answers are correct and wrong answers are wrong.…
-
@Amrina96k Well, the thing is that the reason you're not getting to the fourth game on time is because you haven't improved your LG skills to the point where that's a possibility. Timing comes with increased ability. So just because you're getting …

You get the stimulus and the first question on the first of two pages. The rest of the questions are on the second page, with room below for work.

Learn some skills! Maybe learn to program or use photoshop. You could spend time learning a language you've always wanted to be fluent in. The opportunities are endless. Congrats btw

I delayed law school. The thing is, anyone who tells you that you're not pushing back major events in your life in your 20s is wrong. Of course you're going to be missing out on things that you would otherwise be able to enjoy if you dedicate yourse…

Yes, burnout is real. But you won't know where your limits are until you push them. Make sure to take a break when you're getting burnt out, depressed, tired, etc. I do think that a lot of people think burnout is far more severe than it actually is.…

I mean, if it works for you then do it. Nobody can tell you what methods work best for you. All I can say is that in my experience, the toughest strengthen/weaken questions have been ones where the negation test doesn't work. Specifically, a lot of …

LG is easier to improve than LR. If you're only finishing three games on time, then on the actual test, you'll likely get all the questions on the fourth game wrong, and a handful of the questions on games 1-3 wrong. The key to getting above 160 is…
-
You can use the negation test for some strengthen/weaken questions. In fact, strengthen and weaken questions are VERY similar to necessary assumption questions, as both highlight flaws in the stimulus. That being said, it doesn't work all the time,…
-
Yep. The key thing to remember in strengthen/weaken questions is that there can be outside information in the stimulus. More specifically, for weaken questions, counter examples are used to highlight and expose the flaw in the stimulus. For strength…

Weekly Recap Time! Last Week: Took a lot of time off from LSAT prep. In addition to the holidays, I got sick, and had to go through a round of antibiotic treatment. Went back to it today, and managed to get my best score yet on logical reasoning (-…
-
@Bougie_Bre So, Blind Reviewing is like this. While you take a PT, circle any questions you're even slightly unsure about. Then, after taking the PT and before you grade it, go back to the circled questions. Really think through the problem with no…
-
The important thing to keep in mind is that you may be putting too much pressure on yourself. The test is important, yes, but it's not the end-all-be-all. You don't have to score a 170+ on your first try. A lot of people take literal years to re-tak…
-
@hurdlehopper101 No problem. Yeah, I think it's a good idea. You want to make sure though that you're foolproofing games not only from that bundle, but also from every PT you do. I highly suggest at least purchasing a starter student acct on 7Sage.…

Photocopy the LG sections in your books. Do the PTs timed, then when you’re reviewing, foolproof. Use the photocopies to repeat games
-
You may want to use a visual notation if you can to deal with the distribution issue. For example, the other day I did an LG where there were 2 slots in each of three groups. There were seven elements. The numerical way to write that is: 3-2-2. I ju…

Word on the street is that, even though January will be undisclosed, it'll be a new undisclosed, not a previously used one.
-
@Ohnoeshalpme You're actually wrong in claiming that no cause, effect happens doesn't weaken. It does weaken, you can find examples of cases where that's been the correct answer for certain questions. Check out: PT46/S2/Q17. The correct answer choic…

Really comes down to what you find easiest. I also took modal logic in university. I just use ampersands. A --> B & C A Therefore B&C (1,2) B (3) C (3)

The inference making process is something that can be damaged under pressures of time constraint. What helped me for this was literally putting my pencil down while reading the rules and forcing myself to think about how the game operates. Try it, i…

Weekly Recap: Last Week - Foolproofed games from PT4-PT6. Blind Reviewed PT46. Nearly done with the RC chapters in the LSAT Trainer. Averaged 4.5 hours of studying per day. Next Week - Going to start PT'ing again. Two PTs a week, with days in betw…
