I'm a 169 looking to get to 173+ by August. Currently my weaknesses are RC speed (avg like -3/-4 per section usually cuz timing) and conditional reasoning/phen-hyp LR questions. I was pretty committed to only using self-study to get my score but now want to pull out all the stops before this august test. I'm specifically looking for someone who has helped people make the same jump I'm trying to make.
@AriVilker1 I see. So I wasn’t planning on applying in the fall but I’m in a better spot with the lsat at this time than I previously thought I would be, so now I’m considering applying in the fall on the condition that I get a “t14 worthy” score in August or September. To address the second consideration, I’d say that yes this is my first time studying in-depth. I got a 157 diagnostic in the fall, worked very sporadically through the core curriculum bits at a time for a while, and then finally got through it and spent about a month drilling recently (back from school) and then got a 169 on my second, more recent pt. I’ve only studied with 7sage and I’ve done the core curriculum and an additional ~275 questions of drilling. Does this help clarify your two considerations? Thanks again for the help, you are a lifesaver
@AriVilker1 if I could ask a follow-up: it looks like the deadline to register for August is June 25th. Would you say it would be imprudent to sign up at that time if I haven't already PTd at the score that I want? Or unwise if I am, say, more than two or three points below where I want to be?
I PTed a 169 a week ago and am looking to get to 173ish. Is this feasible by August? I'm trying to decide whether or not to sign up.
shouldn't the stem make some note like "the reasoning is flawed because the argument fails to recognize that which of the following could be true ... blahblah"? Becuase E is only maybe consistent with the facts, right? E is consistent with the facts we're presented with, but we're not sure it's consistent with reality.
tldr we don't know for sure (if the stem doesn't say to assume) that E is true, so how can I pick it?
At least E should read "it may be that.."
I think I'm missing something, can anyone help?
conclusion says "extraterrestrial in origin" but B says "from other planets" which made me get rid of it at first bcs extraterrestrial could just mean space and not necessarily a planet. anyone else?
Whats the best way to get faster and more efficient in RC?
At what point should I start taking practice tests regularly? I'm currently on week 6 of studying, in the "theory" phase of my study plan. Thank you for any insight.
@AlexandraFriestman thank you for your reply. Do you think it's worth going through the whole Loophole book or just the conditional reasoning section?
