True stuff !

like farzana said, youll get to a point in your lsat studying where necessary assumption questions start to feel like must be true questions. approach them like that , and youll have an easier time finding the right answer

tags are im assuimg the stems ? lr question types are fungible, on my last pt i got a PSA question right even thoug i thought it was a strengthen. that is because my mind was oriented toward strong validating answer choices, so the PSA answer choice worked. this isnt always the case but its a good reminder that questions stems are just asking you to perform different operations on the same body

great question. its complicated....on rc i woud read every answer choice. but not on lr. any question on lr that is MBT, MBF, PSA, SA, NA you do not need to read every answer. there is a kind of unequivocal true or false, right or wrong construction to those questions. on the others i would read each answer choice. i struggle with this myself becuse sometimes i think ii would have been right to read each answer and other times it does me a disservice. this comes with prac

what the other users are saying is that even if you say with your hands folded for the entire test while the clock was running, a score below 120 would not be possible

Well definitely don't take it again for a while. Do the CC and take PT's for a while. I sort of did what you did back in 2021. I took the test twice and got 144 then 146. It was a dumb decision because I knew very little about the test and took it anyway. Now my PT scores are low 160s and I'm gearing up to take it in September

I use a yellow legal pad and g207 blue ink pens. I go through each answer choice, writing out why I did or did not pick that answer choice

I'm a low 160s scorer and I still diagram anything conditional. It takes some time but you end up saving time because, when you finish the diagram, you hunt for the correct must be true or must be false answer choice. You dont need to read every answer choice at that point.

In conclusion, you can continue to diagram anything conditional and still answer the question faster than the 7sage target times. It's just a matter of how fast you can find the right answer and move on once the diagram is finished

Because PSA questions aren't formulaic like SA or MBT. So when you draw a contrapositive, it's a (soft) contrapositive. So the reason you csnt say something could be morally right contrapositively on a PSA is because you're only entitled to conclude that something "isn't morally bad" or is morally neutral

move out of DC, maybe out to virginia, and go to a law school there. plenty of quality schools will take a score of 165 which is a stout performance. richmond, uva, regent, george mason etc. one of those schools will take you

@saniquerowe thank you for the response, I understand. One other question I have is do you recommend I take 4 full sections when I am doing my prepetests? 3 scored sections and one section from the old preptests to simulate the experimental section?

@bpp000007598 did you try it when you took the test?

Narcissistic abuse is , according to you, correlated with lower lsat PT scores. Therefore, the abuse causes the lower scores. Maybe the causation is reversed? Maybe your lower test scores caused your mood to plummet which made you more vulnerable to that abuse? Or perhaps there's a third factor causing both the Narcissistic abuse and the lower scores on your PT's? It's worth thinking about , correlative conclusions are often specious

As soon as I read the stimulus under time conditions, I knew the explanation was gonna be hilarious

@ntrepanier5164 Cooley law school, that's hilarious. We've all been there, bombing a PT and thinking 'at least I could still get into widener or cooley"

In my experience , easy to medium level MSS questions always have an incredibly weak answer as the correct answer. But hard mss questions will have the correct answer be some tiny reference to one sentence in the stimulus or sometimes even half the sentence. It's very sneaky but it ends up making sense when you blind review the answer choices for the question!
