@Marcus Tsang Thank you! I'll keep all your advice in mind. Yes, the hard work starts here. Just need to consistently keep at it.

Lots of practice. I mean like lots of it. Take you time too.

If you need to, make some flash cards and drill them so you know your Group 1s, Group 2s, Group 3s, and Group 4s. Consistently practice them so that once you're doing the real questions, you don't just skip over the conditional reasoning in the future.

The more your practice and take it in now, it'll pay off in the long run.

I took my first post-CC Preptest, and I'm pretty disappointed with the results.

It wasn't really about the score, but the amount of questions I missed in each section, specifically LR. It just feels like I haven't made any progress since taking my diagnostic, learning and finishing the CC, and now taking my first post-CC Preptest.

I did notice two things that I'd like to hear other folks' thoughts on.

1) I noticed that I reread the LR stimulus before ID'ing the Premises and Conclusion. First, I would read the question, and ID it. Second, I would read the stimulus once, then reread it again while highlighting the Premises and Conclusion. I think it's a really bad habit and would like to break it. Has anyone else had similar experiences? Any advice on breaking it? What can I do to take in the stimulus better on the first read?

2) I can feel myself rushing starting question 10. The first point gets worse when I'm rushing too. How do folks manage "rushing"? What can you do tell yourself not to rush? Or, how can you practice and drill to not rush?

Thank you!

@NathanielWright Remember that we are just trying to answer the questions here, not question the truth of them. Same principle goes for LR where we don't question the truth of premises, we just take them to be true.

In this question, we're just looking for an AC, which is phrased as a question, that the passage can support to answer.

AC A is correct since we can use the passage, specifically the last paragraph, to answer AC A's question.

In all other AC's, the passage cannot be used to answer them.

Let's say you didn't realise this question was a strengthen question. Could you have gone with like a Sufficient Assumption technique to find the Correct AC?

Isn't it more clear that AC A is correct if you think about this as an SA question rather than a Strengthen Q?

Could I have translated "are generally resistant to neither HM Poisoning nor antibiotics" in Answer Choice B as " aren't generally resistant to HM Poisoning and Antibiotics" since "neither... nor" means "not this and not that"? I think I eliminated Answer Choice B because I didn't click in this grammar and then moved on.

@sammeybobammey Yeah I actually have the same reaction. But I looked through this discussion section and other people's explanations and understandings helped me understand this question a lot better!

So just to clarify: if an answer choice contains information that hasn't been discussed in the stimulus or information that we cannot determine whether it is true/could be true/could be false, then that answer choice can be dismissed as not being the POI?

The correct answer choice needs to be one that must be true for one person and must be false for the other person? (as we saw on the MSS Must-be-supported scale?)

@ionicinstinct I see. I guess I can use the addendum to explain, but I'm not sure if admission officers will understand what a 60 (2:1) or 70 (1st) will mean since it's unweighted and has a different scale? Well regardless, it clears one thing up. Just means LSAT score is super important!

That's super helpful. That emphasizes that I really need to lock in (Capitalise LOCK IN). Thanks for the input Metroidude!!

Hello!

I'm studying for the LSAT right now, but to give myself some understanding on the importance of my LSAT score, I thought I would ask this question: How Important is my LSAT Score?

For context, I did my 4 year undergraduate degree in the UK. I took some summer classes at US universities, but those grade outcomes did not impact my 4 year undergraduate degree. I graduated my university with a First Class Honours.

Obviously, I don't expect LSAC or law schools to understand what "First Class Honours" means or why I don't have a GPA. But, if I read correctly, LSAC does rank me in the general GPA scale somewhere between "Superior" and "Above Average".

Now, given these circumstances, how important is my LSAT score then? If I want to increase my chances at T25, does that mean I need to really go high to achieve a high score? Will law schools emphasise the LSAT score over my near-inexistent GPA?

If anyone has any experience with this or knows something, it would be greatly appreciated! I'd like to use this knowledge as another motivation for me to work even harder in LSAT prep.

Thank you!!

That was kind of mind blowing. I can see this being super useful in translating (decoding) stimuli and making it simpler for me to understand!

  1. Disney Vacation Club offers only 2 ways to get Genie+ pass. So, if Walt didn't get it one way, he must have gotten it through the other way. There is no room for possibility of other methods.

  2. Tigers is strong but it can still be challenged. It's not an ironclad argument entirely.

  3. Trash Bin is weakest of the three. It has a lot of room for possibility. The premises of"Mr. Fat Cat is perched on the counter or he is licking his paw to clean his face" don't fully increase the strength of support for the conclusion. There are still ways to get to the conclusion, not necessarily by the premises the author provides.

Robin eats cheese excessively. Doctors report that consuming cheddar, a type of cheese, can cause gout. Therefore, Robin could get gout.

Hi everyone! I'm Dais, and I just graduated university. I'm taking a gap year right now and using it to focus mostly on the LSAT. I'm hoping to take it in January 2026, but I might push it back to February! Let me know if you're interested in studying around the NYC area!
