Hi all! I'm new to the forum although I have been using the LG videos which I've found very helpful - thank you for providing this free resource!
I'm curious, does anyone read the questions first before reading the passage? I used to do this on the SAT (baaack in the day) and found it helpful.
Any other good RC prep tips? I haven't really concentrated on this section in my studying.
Thanks!!
I've done it, they're nice, you just go take your test and leave - helps break the nerves!
Yes A-> C in both cases! Because
A(--)B means A->B AND B->A so look at which the arrows go.
I feel completely the same way. If you are not ready and do not have to take it this year or apply this year, don't do it. I regret taking it last year when I did so poorly. And I wish I had found 7sage so much sooner!
I am also still scoring 155-160 even after having studied for a year now. What to do the next 2.5 weeks? I am going to take the rest of the PT 60s and review. I believe there is still time! I only feel more confident and get better with each test and review. I don't believe this is like other tests where cramming and memorizing at the last minute won't help. Continuous practice AND REVIEW helps. It is KEY to review, sometimes I just let practice tests sit there and am afraid to grade them.
I've been noticing a lot of biconditionals in the rules of the logic games in the 50s PTs so far, and I believe the wording goes something like this:
Either A or B, and not both
indicates A(--)/B
same as A->/B and /A->B
If A then B otherwise not B.
indicates A(--)B and /A(--)/B
same as B(--)A and /B(--)/A
I hope I did that right.
Is there any other wording that would indicate biconditional?
Thank you JY for the LG videos they are SO helpful and much better diagrams than other books.
Thanks everyone for your answers. If you are or were in the same boat and you're waiting until your score comes out, are you going to submit applications at the end of December? Or right after your score comes out? I am trying to think of how to minimize the amount of time between clicking the Submit button on applications and when the admissions officers actually get the applications in their hands, while still trying to take advantage of rolling admission.
For chrijan7- I would say submit as soon as possible if you have the time now (although you are also studying for December). They can't review your application until you have a LSAT score on record. It's not considered a weakness, they just will not read it. Many people do it. But since I already have a score on record, I do not want admissions officers to see my incomplete application even though it may appear "complete."
Thanks so much!

I want to get started on my applications although I am still studying for the December 2013 LSAT. I hope that someone here can answer my question because I have seen such helpful, nice responses to other questions.
I already took the LSAT once last year and did poorly, and I will be taking it again in December. As we all know it's better to submit earlier rather than later. When should I submit applications? Should I do it ASAP even before December scores come out in January, say in December? But I'm worried that schools will overlook the part where I check off to wait for a pending score, because I have heard of people who were rejected right off the bat because the school did not wait for the later score. Or should I submit right when the score comes out? I already have my transcript and CAS in, which helps.
I feel like this must be a common situation for many people, yet I get conflicting answers from everyone! Thanks so much for any insight.
Thank you!!
