LSAT · What's the most effective way to diagram a rule like this?

assuming slow to fast on the chron: then I would do T which splits into two dotted lines, one going to WV and one going to WZ. (T> WVZ) ( T > WZV) (Sorry don't know how to do this on the comp)

This means on the diagram so long as the other variables (e.g ones you didn't list) aren't ruled by W nor T, then you can place them accordingly. At least that's how I would diagram.

no I mean, I wouldn't fill out applications until fall 2014, to start fall 2015, if that makes a difference...I think for me, RC is by far the easiest section. I happen to be a really fast reader and I think it's always been the easiest section for me throughout hs and college, since the questions feel pretty intuitive if you remember what you read. I quick underline (and not a whole sentence, just the key word) a)the sections where I find myself "arguing" with the premise/assumption, with the thought that there's usually a "weakens/strengthens" sort of question, etc. b) find the conclusion and keep it in mind as the questions typically reference the conclusion c) as you read, think of counter-arguments (to pair with my comment in a), and finally things that seem extreme.

Which section to focus on?

I generally get 163s on my full length practice exams. Using (http://www.lsatqa.com/), it shows that generally my LR is 20/19, LG is 17, RC is 25. The problem with my logic games section is when I have a full hour, I can get all of them right. When it is timed, I only get a small section done, and then speed guess on the rest (in an attempt to get some points rather than none) if there's 2 minutes to go. My question is: I sit for the exam in December. Should I focus on improving LR, or try and improve on LG to get more total points? I don't need to apply for law school until fall of 2014, so I can a) choose to withdraw from Dec and take in Feb b) try and study as much as possible before Dec 7, c)_____?

2 RCs for me, with that 1 awful mirror article. Also, there was a girl taking the exam for the 5th *yes, 5th!* time, and midway thru section 2, she bolted out of the classroom. Needless to say, it was pretty awful to behold.
