Hi Ryan, the reason why there are conflicting answers is because the optimal PT frequency is different for each student. Here are some things to consider: Taking full PTs simulates the actual test-day experience as closely as possible. It tests things like your mental stamina (taking 4 sections back-to-back) and familiarizes you with important things like how the difficulty on a section ramps up. While these are all very important for a good performance come test day, these don't allow you to zero in on specific weak areas the same way that doing drills, or focusing on LR/RC do. So my advice is usually to prioritize your mastery of concepts and add full PTs only as needed.

Hi Yakov, I'm looking to tutor a couple more students atm. Please check out my recent posting here: Tutoring (176 October) at $40/hour (but 1.5 hour sessions lol).

Hi! I'm looking for a couple more student to tutor. My "style" is that I like to approach questions as simply as possible and really emphasize the concise language used in arguments. The testwriters love including "fluff" and choose to say things in roundabout ways to trick us. I'll show you how to simplify questions to their core. Knowing how to negate ACs ("negation test") and basic diagramming skills is all I need you to know how to do, the rest comes down to simplifying and understanding the flaw in arguments. I'll show you that these 4 tools are enough to tackle nearly any question on this test. I break down logic to the point where ESL students can understand and explain the flaw within an argument (see review below, lol).

One thing I teach my students is to focus on the intentional specificity of language throughout arguments. Sometimes the question "Why would author choose to say it like that?" is surprisingly insightful. I've found that if your reasoning is just careful enough, you're able to simplify a difficult question into a series of simple questions. You'll realize within the first few sessions how invaluable the skill of "breaking down into simpler parts" can be on the LSAT.

Anyway, if you think my style might resonate with you, check out my tutoring page below for more details about my teaching! Oh, and I can connect you to any of my past students/reviewees to ask any lingering questions before you finalize anything.

Hit me up if you'd like to schedule a free intro session to see if we'd be a good fit! Thank you :)
