I hadn't realized 87 was out, so I didn't take it this weekend. Will anyone be taking it next weekend and can review then? Thanks!

LSAT · Underconfidence Errors?

alexissiegel9219

Monday, Aug 27 2018

I do that too and depending on your score I don’t necessarily think your issue is the fundamentals. On my last pt I went back at least three or four times and switched my right answers to wrong answers. I think I tend to panic when I have time left for a test and I run to questions I’ve circled trying to go over each and every one of them. Since I don’t dedicate enough time to really looking at them and I’m dividing my limited amount of time between a bunch of questions, I just choose a different one out of panic. Not sure if this is how it is for you too, but I think I need to just take a breathe and get to what I can get to and just dedicate as much time is needed to a question rather than rush over it. I feel like anxiety just really plays a big role here.

@nikitamunjal950 that’s a good idea, I’ll try it next time I take a section. But I think I may fidget too much and flip through pages a bit too much to do that.

@samanthaashley92715 if that’s the only reason, then couldn’t I always have them handscore it? Obviously not ideal and annoying to spend more money but I feel like that’s not a bad trade off.

Avoiding bubbling mistakes

So I’ve been making some bubbling mistakes where I’ll accidentallt bubble in the answers for one section into the wrong bubbling section on the answer sheet. I was thinking of just folding the answer sheet so that I can only view one bubbling section at a time. I don’t see that folding of the answer sheet is prohibited anywhere but does anyone know if that would be ok to do? Or would that perhaps depend on the proctor you get and whether they’re comfortable with letting you do that?

If you want to determine whether or not the whole test is generally harder/easier than others you might want to take a look at the curve.

@forestdearing2017997 Do you mean create a discussion thread or if I will initiate the skyping? I wasn't going to create a discussion, I was just going sent you (and whoever else) a skype request.

@colinturner06598 What time works for you tomorrow?

@forestdearing2017997 Haha no worries! This test is making me so discombobulated it's crazy. Yeah sure, so tomorrow RC from PT 46 at 7:30 pm EST. We'll be skyping so would you mind messaging me your skype username when you have a chance? Then we can do the RC section from PT 53 on Friday. And does 1 pm EST / 10 am PST work for you? I wasn't sure if that call is on Friday. @colinturner06598 Do you think you'll be able to join either of those sessions?

@forestdearing2017997 I don’t think I can do tomorrow. I work 9-6 and I’m going to be reviewing a different RC section (46) with some people at 7:30 EST (which you are more than welcome to join by the way!). Could Friday still work for 53?

No Thursday nights it is! @forestdearing2017997 and @colinturner06598 could some time Friday between 12pm EST / 9am PST and 5pm EST/ 2pm PST work for you? I’ll be up at around 6am EST and I’ll probably be drilling all day until we review so just let me know!

? I have been especially terrible about this. I haven’t asked anyone and I have no idea what professor to ask since I’ve been out of school for 4 years now.

General · Preptests 40-50

alexissiegel9219

Tuesday, Jul 31 2018

Those are ok to drill with, but for full PTs I would suggest using 65-84. I feel like the more recent ones are more difficult and so you won’t be able to fully gage your scores if you just use 41-50.

Hey I’ve been ranging generally high 160s. I’d be happy to discuss strategies and maybe do some review of sections. Let me know if you’re interested.

I’m good with whatever works for everyone so if GoToMyMeeting works better let’s do it. And those two passages work for me.

LSAT · Financial Rewards vs. Salary

Thursday, Jul 26 2018

Yeah I feel like they have a few that they revamp and reuse. Like I’ve definitely run across a few different questions asking you to explain a circumstance where the best detective/police officer doesn’t solve more cases than any another officer and the answer is always that the best officer is probably given the hardest cases.

LSAT · Flaw Questions

alexissiegel9219

Thursday, Jul 26 2018

Admittedly, flaw type questions are one of my weaknesses. I would really suggest getting the LSAT Trainer though. The drills in there really help you hone in on your flaw skills.

Also, if after a test I really can’t figure out a question, I diagram it out. I write out the conclusion (in laymens terms) and then write out the premises (again in laymen’s terms). Then I try to determine where the jump in reasoning was and try to figure out what assumption they needed to make to get to the conclusion that wasn’t explicitly said in the stimulus. While flaw type questions are still not really my strongest question type, I think that helped me recognize flaws quicker in actual timed conditions.
