-Main Conclusion drilling will help you spot Conclusions faster and faster as you improve. Realize that the conclusion and the support relationship is flawed and majority of the questions that ask you to be critical will play on this relationship.

-Additionally, it's helpful to understand why 3-4 answer choice is wrong immediately than it is to spot a correct choice. Especially with the subtle answer choices (i.e. Required Assumption).

-You want to be in a consistent comfortable groove of crossing out at least 3 answer choices before you decide (and confirm) the correct answer choice.

-Understanding what context is (aka background information aka fluff), where it end and where the argument starts is crucial. Expect a wrong answer to speak on this, which is, commonly tempting. (Depends on the question of course)

Live Commentary for Games in CC

Namaste peeps,

This may already be out there so bare with me. As great as the videos and explanations for Games on the CC are, I have a hard time with space and sub-game boards with individual questions (right now I'm practicing with PT 33 Game 3). It's hard for me not to erase and/or I just run out of space. I'm practicing on a separate piece of paper just for the sake of learning. If there is a video (or videos) where certain games are done in pencil, that would amazing. It would help to see how someone writes everything in the space provided, including master game boards, conditional chains AND the specific questions without confusing themselves with there own handwriting (like me).

Bless y'all.

Here's overall advice that helped me. 1st like the CC, we must remember that 1% help or 99% help strengthens an argument. Whenever you see an stimulus argue causation for a conclusion, 1st remember this is a flaw, to strengthen a causation argument the AC may be subtle ranging from showing without B present, A was also absent. Remember this doesn't prove the argument 100% valid but it helps. Also another subtle strengthen AC may be a similar comparison (ive seen this on earlier test especially). [in PowerScore's drill book they have a chapter on specifically cause and effect, watch JYs lesson on Strengthen and Weaken then drill from this chapter. Cause and Effect can be used for majority of the LR questions]. Also ive seen a couple times, Strengthen may have a defender AC that also helps. I had to get in the mindset of just helping an argument for Strengthening and not fixing (i hope that makes sense). I'm sure some other folks have better advice but thats what has helped me in recent weeks.

Keep drilling though. Patterns start to become clearly.

Namaste.

CC in order (took a while to digest)

C**bridge drilling packets for LR and Games

LSAT Trainer

IMO The Trainer and 7sage compliment each other well. Some material is better in video form, other was better through text. I love(d) them both.

But I always went back to certain videos on 7sage (especially the Grammar lesson).

Namaste.

I did the LSAT Trainer after CC and it was helpful. In 7sage, The Grammar curriculum, the Valid and Invalid arguments and since it was a weakness for me all the assumption lessons should be looked at as many times as you can. The Trainer will make you a beast with flaws.

NAMASTE

@ said:

After every RC passage, after every game, after every two pages of LR (which means each time you turn the page). After a bit of practice, it becomes second nature, and provides you with a couple of breathers throughout the section.

Great advice and very underrated.

Same here. I'm 36 years old. I was in the Army up until this past February (medically retired). I was supposed to take the LSAT this past December but operational requirements got in the way.

I always wanted to go to Law School, but got distracted by a job in the Intel Community, which brought me to the Army and ultimately my Masters degree. I'm taking advantage of having uninterrupted time to study between now and June.

Thank you for your service.

Small LG strategy

Spoiler alert: Doesn't break the bank.

I had a bad habit of using my eraser on LG so I........dramatically took the eraser off my pencil. Took a couple times of me still flipping the pencil over but now I'm crossing out instead of erasing (and actually making less mistakes).

Namaste.

1st and most importantly, Thank you for your service.

I'm eager to finish my full sleeve. Dress how anyone in your position would. "follow" dress code for specific situations but dont let it be something in the back of your mind. Anyone being nitpicky about what ink they see is someone (or school) that I personally dont want to be associated with. That includes any and every admissions officer. On the flip side, tattoos or not, if i had an interview I would wear a collared shirt (for example) for the purpose of the interview not to cover my tats.

Good luck

Choose a school you are interested and do your best to leave with as little debt as possible. It's my opinion that it'll be a lot less stressful to look for a job when loans aren't breathing down your neck (i.e. less pressure, more patience etc).

Additionally, it'll sound a lot better at Happy Hour when you tell the group you hardly have debt and they're on a two drink limit lol.

But seriously, so many factors go into getting a job in all walks of life. I personally think some people could just be bad at interviews. Law degree or not, it's humans hiring humans.

Either way, you'll be fine if you have a positive mental attitude.

What does a "full" scholarship entail?

First off, good fortune to the peeps taking the test tomorrow.

I have a question regarding a full scholarship. Hopefully yall could help (article links accepted). When a school gives a "full" scholarship, does that mean full tuition, full everything (COL, books, other fees)? Is there any such thing as scholarship that covers "everything"? Friend of mine just got a "full" scholarship but had to take loans out for rent. I went to a very cheap public undergrad school so me taking a loan out was literally a few thousand dollars. My entire undergrad debt is less than $7k so I'm not too familiar with scholarships and financial aid. During research, I'm hearing financial aid in law school is totally different and a nicer way of saying loan.

Long story longer, if the latter of my question exist (full scholly for everything) what are the approaches and ways to obtain that?

Your boy aint tryna pay $200k in debt! -in my Brooklyn accent-

Thanks peeps,

Namaste

Could the 1st section be experimental? Bro, I seen a LR question stem that asked some shit about which one of the following questions would be in response to the stimulus....on some jeopardy show/Alex Trebek vibes. If that aint experimental, I may have to drive up to Newtown PA.

25/50/75 scores are on a bell curve. In other words, there COULD be applicants that have above the 75 percent number and/or below the 25 percent number. Im not sure a school is "allowed" to have a cut off. But remember these schools, as much as they say it's a holistic process, they care about the numbers.

Confirm action

Are you sure?
