I think there are some that can be found in the NA drilling sets. I am, no by means, an expert, so take my observation with a grain of salt. I've found that for NA questions, if you encounter both in the AC, go for the NA (a "well no, duh!" moment I'm sure), but if you're debating between 2 choices, always go for the "safer" and "weaker" AC. Although, I will contradict myself and say that there are some NA questions that have such short arguments that the NA actually doubles as the SA as well. In reverse, if it's a SA question, you don't want to pick the weaker choice, you want to make it so that if someone came along, they couldn't say anything about the AC you picked. Why? Well because it completely seals the "gap" between the premise(s) and the conclusion.
@ and @ thanks so much for your input guys! I am a huge "lurker" and prefer to keep to myself in terms of studies, so that's why I don't really post that much on the forums!
So, I'm confused, what are we supposed to do with the Misc. Questions/LR Drills/LG Drills/PT 1-35 PT drills? There doesn't seem to be any defined instruction? Can I skip over those sections aside from the LG Drills (foolproofing) and go to the PTs? If it helps, I am writing in September (and most likely December)

If your set on taking in September just focus on 62-81 and use 52-61 for timed section. That's what I would do anyway. And don't feel like you need to do all of them either. More PTs won't necessarily to a better score.
Timed sections are your friend, and, blind review, of course.
So, if I'm understanding you correctly, I'd do PT 62 this week, foolproof LG (PT 1-35), and use 52-61 as timed sections? (Forgive my ignorance here, but how would one incorporate timed sections in one's study?).

Yeah. I did sections from PT 50-70 in the two months leading up to my test, both timed and untimed (approximately 70/30 split). I didn't touch 75 or above.
Sorry. Sections or full PTs?

Plot twist: we're not allowed to bring paper (duh) and have to pay a fee for each sheet of paper we want to use during test day.
Is it just me or has anyone realized the cruel irony of paying LSAC $180 or $280 (if digital) to serve as guinea pigs for the experimental sections? Maybe for the extra $100 - there won't be an experimental?
Hello all,
So, I'm basically 1 month behind, but I'm trying to make up for lost time (I work at a law firm, and I work A LOT of overtime), but essentially the only thing I can really see (in terms of losing out) would be the number of PTs taken before the Sept. 2017 LSAT. I am leaning towards just finishing the CC (I'm in the Ultimate+) and have about let's say 16 "topics" to do, and I think what I will do is cover the topics (but not do every single problem set). Maybe do 1-4 problem sets for each topic and then move on to the PTs in preparation for the Sept. LSAT.
Thoughts?
It's these kind of questions that annoy me, as when I hear JY explain it, I'm like, "Why did I not see this stimulus in that way..." Either way, these LSAT explanations are a lifesaver for sure!
