Hello,

I'm still confused as to why B is not the answer.

It seems to me that answer B would establish the temporality component, which is necessary for a causal relationship. That is, to say that X causes Y, X has to precede Y.

Can anyone explain to me why B would not strengthen the argument?

I did 5 points worse than my last score. I'll be taking it again this July!

Keep studying and working hard everyone!

@ I am sure you did well. Don't fret. You will get into a good school. I am sure that your February 2018 score is good. Be patient and wait. Slow down and breath. Now, it is time to wait and be patient. There is an ancient saying "A flower that is rushed to open before ready won't blossom. When it ready to open, then, it is ready show the world its beauty" You should have more faith in yourself and wait. You may be surprised and get a great score. Time should be your greatest friend by waiting.

Hi,

Thanks for the advice!

I am going to recommend listening to this webinar by Accounts Playable.

He was in a similar situation as you and outlines a really good strategy for reusing materials and improving on them first. He would only use the new PTs when he felt he had conquered all his issues on retakes and needed to test how he was doing on a brand new PT. He ended up scoring a 174.

Good luck. :smile:

Thank you for the advice!

@ Yeah LG was pretty standard. I was glad not to see some games like the infamous virus game haha

What do you think about the LRs? I think the 3rd one was easier than the other two and hope that was one of the real ones lol

I think all the LRs was quite easy. The LG tripped me up a little. Probably missed a question or 2 on LG

Had the same sections as yours. What do you think about the LG?

Seems pretty standard but difficult qs at the same time.

Wanna take another LSAT, running out of PT!!

Hello,

So I took the February 2018 LSAT but I am anticipating to retake it this June.

I think I did well (probably around 168-173), but I think I can do better next time.

That being said, I think I currently only have 5 full PT left. Usually my study consist of mostly doing full PT and BRing.

I haven't done PT 1-35, although obviously I have done many of the QS from the curriculum and the LG drill.

My last 5 PT averages are 171.

Any tips as to how I can improve my score on my June LSAT?

Thanks!

Yeah I don't think it was too hard.

I finished right on time for the RC section and one of the LR section. I wish I had time to go back.

Here's the link for which sections are experimental and which are real.

How to make use of my time most efficiently?

Hello,

I'm posting this to get some of you guys' recommendation about the best way to make use of my available time to improve on my LSAT. Since my classes will not start until January 16, I have a lot of time to study for the LSAT.

Just a little background, I'll be taking the LSAT on Feb 10 and I've been averaging around 168 on my PTs. I am aiming to get 173+ on my LSAT.

Here's what I've been doing everyday:

  • Do one PT
  • Blind review
  • Do LGs that I missed in the past (~5-7 games).
  • Read Powerscore RC to improve on my RC section (averaging -5 currently). I'll be reading the powerscore LG and LR when I finished the RC.
  • Do around 40 LR questions from 7sage.
  • Here's some questions I have:

    Should I keep doing one PTs everyday, or is this an inefficient way to improve my score?

    So, I know that JY recommends doing at most 3 PTs in a week, but I don't find myself getting burnt out doing one everyday, so I don't see any reason why I should stop doing this if it will help me improve. But I'd like to have some of you guys' opinion on this. I currently still have 20 PTs available to do.

    How to improve my LR section? I currently average around -2 to -4. Should I just continue to do many many questions and review?

    For LG, I've been doing the "Fool Proof" method recommended in the curriculum (redo all LGs that I missed, multiple times until I mastered it). I'll also be reading the powerscore LG soon. Any other tips?

    How would you approach improving your score if you have a lot of time available?

    Thank you very much!

    I don't remember that question on mine and I had 3 LR.

    I did not have a question about samurai, and also had 3 LR. I also did not have the probiotics & baby question that powerscore says was in the real LR.

    I had 2 LR and I remember getting the probiotic question.

    @

    Don't overthink it. It happened to me too, I dropped 8 points from a previous PT one time. I ended up getting 172. Take another PT. One PT doesn't always accurately reflect your ability.

    Hi, does anyone know if the released score percentile(as indicated on the email we received) is rounded? i.e. if my percentile is 98.6, would it be displayed as 99?

    Anyone got a percentile that has a decimal?

    Thanks!

    Here, I think, is a simpler way to eliminate answer choice D:

    "Only the best artworks are beautiful"

    Surely, this is not necessary because other things besides "the best artworks" (e.g. flower, dogs, etc.) can be beautiful too. We can accept that flowers and dogs are beautiful too, and the argument does not break down. Therefore, D is not necessary.

    I think the mistake I made for choosing D was that I had assumed D as saying "Only the best artworks are beautiful artworks", which I think made it much harder to eliminate.

    Confirm action

    Are you sure?
