Hey guys I would love to be able to BR with y'all but I can't do Wednesday nights. I know the Saturday ones exist and I plan on doing those. Is there a possibility to move the midweek BR group to a different day or is that set in stone? @jhaldy10325

If that is not feasible no worries.

LET'S FREAKING GO!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!

Hey Chels if there's one thing that has helped me out is understanding the nature of this exam and to not let my self worth or identity come from my score on it. This exam is a beast and I am learning to respect it as such.

I think a drastic, but rewarding measure I took was to quit my job so I can focus on this test full time. I am currently living off my savings. This might not be ideal for you but I know that it has helped me tremendously to concentrate on it and to make the time to take the preptests and to truly understand the Core Curriculum, which is essential. You will not progress very far without a proper understanding of the logic and fundamentals in the curriculum.

Stay positive in light of all this and continue to work hard. You want honest optimism accompanied by effective and meaningful productivity. Mentally, the LSAT is one of the most challenging things I've done, but I am actually at a point where I enjoy learning all of this crazy reasoning and fast paced inferences that need to be made.

Finally, when I took my first PT after months of reviewing the core curriculum I got the same score I did in my diagnostic. I was crushed. What helped me get through that was a hard 2hr+ lifting session and an attitude of this is bull: I WILL NOT let this be the case. I took another test the very next day and my score jumped significantly and has remained around that area ever since.

Hope this helps.

I'll be there.

yea the same thing just happened to me, I was scoring between 160-165 and even got a 158 like 2 weeks ago. took five days off and just hung out and slept in and last pt I did got a 173. I don't know what happened but im thinking breaks must be a good thing lol

Mind Blown.

@gregoryalexanderdevine723 thanks bro!

@ethanrauf617 Thanks I'll definitely look into that webinar

Overthought this one. Should have gone for the jugular!

Hey thank you I was unaware of that. Is the BR calendar up-to-date?

On both my first attempt and BR attempt I skipped over the CANNOT be true and thought this was a MBT question so I picked B. Read each question carefully!

@deepikaraj2398 Hey so the logic games bundle book definitely is a solid investment. I've been working on it and its legit LSAT questions so go ahead and give it a shot if you want.

23. A – Who cares what types of lightning it causes other than ball lightning? The assumption lies in that the ball lightning he saw has the same cause as the ball lightning caused by superheated plasma in which electrical resistance is a factor.

B – Irrelevant to our argument.

C – No, this assumption actually weakens the argument and does not help it to follow logically.

D – Irrelevant

E – Correct. If all types of ball lightning have the same cause, then yes this argument makes sense because it identifies the assumption being made.

21. A – Motive is not to benefit other people but to benefit leader’s chance of being reelected.

B – Does not succeed.

C – Correct. Proposition mentions evidence, benefiting other people, performing the act to benefit other people, and succeeding in that endeavor. In this answer choice, the evidence is overhearing heating contractor say that regularly changing the filter in a furnace helps to keep the furnace efficient. Benefiting other people is the fact that Betsy changed the filter in her daughter’s house. Success is shown in that it never required maintenance.

D – We do not know if there was success or not in the outcome.

E – There is no evidence that psychotherapy could help parents, just a “hope” that it would.

20. A – Wrong subject. We want to know about people with specialized knowledge about a scientific or technical issue, not those without it. Required to make assumption that just because "commoners" won't understand the issue at hand, that jurors that do understand the issue at hand with more specialized knowledge will still be fair.

B – Correct. This answer choice correctly weakens the argument by giving a reason as to why they are being systematically excluded from juries for trials, and deals with the issue of “fairness”, as opposed to answer choice A which does not. Doing the action prescribed by answer choice B does make it more fair, thereby removing support from the conclusion.

C – Who cares? No one is talking about arbitrators.

D – Requires us to make the assumption that people who have specialized knowledge about a scientific or technical issue can be considered “experts”

E – Irrelevant

What if this was a necessary assumption question? Where the question was "The conclusion drawn by the professor requires which following assumption?" How would it change our answer choice?

Being a whiny b*!

Savage.

Hey thank you for sharing this. My diagnostic was a 155 and I am getting discouraged since the last two PTs I took were both 155 as well, doesn't seem to be improving.. Great job on that awesome score!

I had trouble too with D but finally got it. – Properly negating the statement reads “the social behaviors of macaques are sometimes independent of their genetic heritage”, which does nothing to destroy our argument because the stimulus may very well be including in those times where they are independent.

Where can we find the recorded video?

I would love to have them. Message me thanks
