Does anyone know how to quickly recognize these? or how to notice one right when you see it? especially with the time constraint? how do you almost perfect RC and LR scorers do it?

I would appreciate any tip on how to recognize these more often, i find that most of my wrong answer choices are bc of these.

Hello fellow LSAT warriors!

I began to notice that I got really good at LR but my confidence was not reflecting during timed conditions. Today I took two LR sections from PT 47 using two different strategies. The first, I took my time with each question until I was very sure, rarely skipping! I only got 14 our of 26 correct!!!! I attempted 19 Questions.

In the second LR I tried to be very fast. I read the stimulus, and once I saw what I thought was the right answer I quickly moved on(this was very hard for me because there is always that voice in the back saying what if you mis read, this feels to easy). Second, If a question seemed to convoluted or complex, I skipped, even if it was a question in the first 10 Q. In this section I got 19 out of 26!!! I attempted 20 questions. I got lucky once!

In summary I think moving fast, in the sense that you quickly pick you answer, and if you hesitate ask your self if this is a question that you can understand in the next minute, if not pick you best answer and move, if yes, re read the stimulus briefly and make the best choice!

What do you all think? I think my mistake was doubting my self and that was causing valuable time spent in a questing that I was still going to get wrong!

I just finished PT 61, and after blind reviewing it extensively, I feel like it would be beneficial to completely retake 61 again. This is the method recommended for logic games, for example. I am wondering why this is not recommended for whole LSATs?

I have the need to prove/ explain why every answer choice wrong before I feel confident with the correct answer. by the time it's time for me to select the right answer, I see much work on my scratch paper that I overlook the correct answer! suggestions on how I can stop feeling the need to prove why the wrong answers are wrong?

secondly, how are you guys working to improve attention to detail? i rush to finish in time, and end up missing out on important details. (Especially on Logic Games)

Im sure I have heard the answer to this question in the lessons but I cant find it now. What is the best way to practice tests of 5 sections instead of just 4? I have only done 4 practice tests so far. Do the later practice tests have a fifth in the pdfs or do I just need to add a section?

Hello,

I have been studying off and on for the last year or so. From my initial diagnostic of 139 I scored a 155 on the december lsat. I began studying again after taking a three month break. Initial diagnostic this time is at 152. My goal is to get to a 160. However, recently, my energy levels and focus has begun to drop! I need help getting pumped up and maintaining my M-S 9-12 and 2:4 schedule. I cannot afford not to get a 160 or more. I quit my job to study all day!

Hi all,

So I have been studying over 7 months for this darn exam, but I am still not reaching my potential despite significant gains! For instance, I blind review at a 169, but receive only about 50 correct under timed conditions. I leave 40-60 questions unanswered. I have seen dramatic increases in my LG after going through all of 7sage's LG lessons, so thanks a lot for that YJ! However, my LR and RC have remained stagnant and I feel I hit a hump here completing about 14-18 LR's/section and 13-14 RC's/section. I have faith that I can get over these humps, considering I have score perfect on all three sections before.

However, RC is my main problem right now, since it is difficult to cut problems, and do much more practice on apart from blind reviewing the passages in comparison to "the fool proof method to a perfect LG section method." After reading an RC book by manhattan and going up a handful of points to about 11 correct on RC, I have consistently scored 9-13 correct on this section without fail. This is sort of expected, because I don't really practice RC the way I do LG, as I don't drill RC at all besides in PTs' (I am scared to run out of RC passages for PTs' - stupid I know), but I also replaced them with Economist passage drills. In any case, Is their any suggestions for both RC and getting my speed up to a 160+ speed?

Thanks everyone!

I live in an artist cooperative. It is stated in our Bylaws "Except for the chairperson of the committee, such committee members need not be Directors."

The chairperson of one of our committees is not a Director.

That doesn't fly with the logic of the given Bylaws, right? Doesn't the chairperson NEED to be an elected Director? The quote-unquote chairperson in question says that I'm wrong, and that the chairpersons of our committees need not be Directors. Who is right?

Hello! My name is Shirin and I'm creating this discussion for anyone who was at Overlook last night and wants to keep in touch.

JY, thank you for organizing this amazing event, it was really awesome to meet you and everyone else. I left with new knowledge and insight, the phrase "LSAT employed" comes to mind.

My lsat analytics graph won't show the blue color of the bars, so no mater how many pretest I do, the chart remains white and empty. I was wondering how to have to have it colored in.

Any help form anyone?

Thanks.

Hi Guys,

I have just heard from my Top Law school that my application is currently wait-listed. Does anyone know how to get off this and become an admitted candidate? I know re-doing the LSAT is a possibility, but with less than two months, it sounds like a rush reaction. Any suggestions would be awesome. :)

Thanks.

I work full time and would like to start taking PTs asap. I plan on doing 2 on weekends and 1 during the week. I have tried taking PTs after work but I am usually too exhausted to finish/score well. I am thinking about doing my PTS @ 3am on mornings before work.

What do you all think? Does anyone have experience with early morning PTs?
