It was the "probably" in answer A that threw me off, it didn't sound like enough to match the "good evidence" in the stimulus

It would be helpful to see the admissions process through the "lens" of an admissions faculty. As in, at what threshold numbers-wise would they begin truly considering your "soft" application such as letters of rec/personal statement?

#help For question 27, I selected E on BR because the passage ends by saying that future progress requires a restoration of balance which includes cooperation and nurturance. So if there is a continuation of the process of social evolution (future progress) doesn't that mean that the necessary condition of cooperation and nurturance would have been met?

If you are able to, JY is running blind review sessions for PT 85. There are two more sessions (RC and LR2 on Monday/Tuesday). I have participated in many of these and they are super helpful to confronting your flawed reasoning and how to approach these questions. Especially helpful if you are in a quiet place with headphones and a mic. It is amazing to hear JY explain reasoning, but also challenge your own with a group of serious LSATers. Literally you can talk to the LSAT master himself on a PT you have already taken.

There is nothing like that OOOHHH moment when you figure out why that AC is 100% wrong and the other one is 100% right.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to make the live session, is there any way I can view it once I get out of work later tonight?

I'm currently stressing out considering I completed the base 7sage course and have seen great increases in my scores (155 on diagnostic, 163 average, 167 max) throughout PT 30's-40's. My all time highest was just last week on PT 44 when I got a 167, so riding that high I took PT 85 this morning and got a 158. I haven't scored so low since July, and while I know it there is a degree of variety, a drop of 9 points within a week is very concerning. I have heard that recent PT's are slightly different, could this have contributed to it? I usually average about -4.4 on LR, -6.1 on LG, and -6.6 on RC. On 85 I got -7 on each LR, -6 on LG, and -9 on RC.

I'm trying not to let this get to my head, but November is my last chance to take the test (3rd try within a year). I could definitely use some advice on how to spend this final week. Should I go back to the basic lessons, keep drilling, or take another recent PT to hopefully do better and get the bad taste out of my mouth going into test day? As of now I am leaning towards taking another PT tomorrow for reassurance but I also don't want to burn myself out. No matter what I am taking Thursday and Friday completely off from studying for peace of mind.

Same exact scenario as you. Bengay, stretches, and getting a bit more sleep have helped me
