For real, a comment from a tutor earlier today said anxiety does not mean you don't know anything. Such a great perspective, and from my own— the anxiety only last for 5 minutes because once that test starts you are too busy with the questions to even think about anything else. A great walk before helps clear the head

I like doing first to last because it warms up my brain for the harder passages— but that does not guarantee that the first two will be the easiest. There are many sections that have the harder passages second

@ZahidAli the important thing about E is “thought” which implies belief. We do not know if these beliefs are correct— its how you should approach any belief found on this test. For that reason, E is not a good weakener. And also E says “speaking staff” — which is in line with the the conclusion

@PhoebeHopp Thank you so much-- i really appreciate it

@AMS1281 It is important to note that the quantifier "any" includes the possibility of "all." In this case, it is possible—in fact, it is likely—that the historian’s use of "any" implies "all.

Any does not imply all-- any refers to a specific individual, where all refers to a specific group. It is clearly supported, and taken as true, in the premises that contradictory ideas are acceptable.

@cristiangarpec no because after is generally a modifier, or more loosely a sufficient indicator. If you say "after [X], then [Y]", that means that when [X] happens, then [Y]. For example, after I take the lsat, I will apply for law school.

LSAT->Law School

Now that doesn't mean that the LSAT is necessary, which is true with JDnext, it is just triggering the necessary condition.

Sometimes it helps to just put it in your own words

@i.like.ike i think where your thought process goes off a little is you cannot assume the only way to be disciplined is through your verbal actions. You can be disciplined through other ways, as the ACs demonstrate-- maybe it is by not respecting the rules of school, some nonverbal laws.

There is a difference between asocial and antisocial: we conflate the two to mean the same thing, but they are infact different. What you're thinking of is asocial behavior, not antisocial behavior

No not at all-- I find that sometimes experimental sections are exceptionally harder. It could just be that that section was dominated by a type of q's that you are strong in. Good to know that all exp sections are true LSAT sections, so there would be no way to discern between exp and graded sections.

It definitely will get a lot easier once you start seeing the patterns of the test. The core curriculum does a good job guiding you through the basics but I would also recommend even starting with one star questions that have to do primarily with the conclusion and involve finding it (e.g. sufficient assumption, main conclusion, strengthen and weaken.) Give it some time and eventually you will do mc questions in the matter of 30 secs

@ChristopherTobin Inference questions are another way of saying MBT

Okay so I definitely understand where you are coming from and can definitely empathize with you! You are not alone. I am in no way in a position to recommend anything; I feel that decision is up to you but I can provide my own thoughts that might help you!

I started studying June 2025 with expectations of taking the test in September to apply for the 2026 cycle. I did not feel comfortable enough in my pt range to take September, so I switched to the October LSAT. And since I have the fee waiver, I also decided to sign up for November to provide a final cushion for me, so when I got my score in November I would be ready to apply. To be fully transparent, my October LSAT was a 154 and when I got my score I knew I had added pressure in November because I, too, had goals to get a score in the 160s. I had an 8 point boost between the official October and November tests and came out of the November test a lot more comfortable because I knew what to expect going into the Prometric center and what not. Am I saying that my comfortability was the reason why I scored better? Maybe, maybe not. The studying between October and November definitely lit a fire under my behind so I felt especially motivated, but in my case I wanted to have my applications in by November, and in your case, you have the whole summer to studying. If you think this summer would be a good opportunity for you to reach the 160s, then maybe it would be a good idea to wait. The worst thing to do is to rush yourself for the sake of time-- I learned the consequences of that. But also, June may be a good time for you to try one more time before the summer to try and hit 160, IF you feel as though you can hit 160.

It truly is up to you, and honestly the journey probably won't be as you originally planned, but being honest with yourself and knowing your capabilities is the best thing you can do. I've been honest with myself and wanted to give the test one more try in June and will hopefully get a higher score.

As for the score cancel, I kept my score because I really didn't care about having it on my profile. I just wanted a score on my profile because I kept saying what if I get lower on November. I do not regret keeping it, and honestly it just adds to my profile. That might be a question for an admission counselor on this site.

DM me if you have any more questions or thoughts.

Keep-- especially because it is still a solid score. Schools usually only look at highest score, and cancelling could indicate a score much less than a 160

@EmmaPradere942 thank you and when it clicks, it clicks haha! Still struggling through rc being a little more volatile for me but its definitely an improvement from wherever i was a year ago. Good luck to you as well!

@Rbee The adaptive drills setting really helped me with LR. Ive also been doing sections. For RC, its really just about slowing down and understanding how each part of the passage plays into the argument as a whole. Takes time but isnt impossible.

@NatMan great to see someone in a similar boat. Been a long journey but wouldnt change it— hope june is the last for both of us

I like it— but maybe make it forgiving for a rest day

@JuliannaCalder the appositive "after a week" is a modifier of the noun anyone infected by the virus. With those two conditions met, infected and a week, then we get antibodies.

Think of a similar situation: a tennis player. Anyone participating in Wimbledon, after reaching the semifinals, will receive prize money. The two conditions we have to meet to "receive prize money" is both "Participating in Wimbledon and reach semi-finals." I usually like to change the appositive to "and". So rather than the commas, I just think to myself: If you're participating in Wimbledon and reach the semifinals, then you will receive prize money.

Participate + Semifinals-> Prize Money.

This is the same structure as the one you are asking about. Let me know if this helps

Good luck-- great score and momentum to into the test with!

Aside from it's current price, E is also wrong because we do not know whether or not the ranchers are even buying in bulk.

Unfortunately-- it is by doing! Haha. Getting your accuracy up and doing questions will help you comb through questions a lot quicker with a lot more confidence. You'll be able to spot patterns and see what good answer choices are vs bad. Mix both timed and untimed

When I started, and was going through the core curriculum, I initially just finished the CC and then started doing drills. For me-- big mistake. Once I started doing drills, after watching so many videos from the CC, I was still struggling to even get the theory right on questions. Definitely complement your journey with the CC with drills: easy, hard, whatever. As long as your doing questions, it will pay dividends because at the end of the day the theory can only help so much when you are having a hard time with questions, whether that is because you cannot break down a stimulus or struggling to find the gap to then answer the question. One of the best ways to do good on something is by doing it, and starting early with drills is a great start.

I read that a lot of people have found success doing timed sections, which in your case might help because you are not only doing questions, but also doing them in a time-restricted manner. I would compliment your timed section with an untimed to help build a foundation of strengths and weaknesses under no time restraints. I get pretty insecure when it comes to PTing because they can be scary, but definitely start when youre most comfortable. I went in and out of doing PTs but am now consistently doing 1 a week-- but there was also a long time where i was doing mainly drills and really benefitted from that.

If it works for you and you are getting the questions right with the timing, then it is a good strategy for you! I pretty much do the same

I would recommend the class spotting the gap, especially if you’re struggling with assumptions. I felt the same way but it’s just part of the learning process! Struggling is good bc that means you have something to learn
