I'm working my way through the syllabus, and for some of the question types there are a lot of Problem Sets (10, 15, 17, etc). Should I hold off on some of these and use them for practice after PTing, or should I be doing them all now as a way to drill in the material?
I have PT 74 left to take. I was going to take it Friday morning at the same time the LSAT is being held on Saturday. I'm concerned with burnout, as my scores tend to dip if I take two PT's too close together (I've performed better with 4 days between, and worse with less, though correlation/causation could certainly be an issue here).
It's Tuesday. I took PT 73 last night. How should I go about taking my last PT? Should I just do sections over the course of the week?
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.
I'll take a crack (warning: I'm using "!" to mean "not"):
As you says this flaw is:
A -> B
B
___________
A
What's the flaw in B?
If you have discovered something new (DSN), then you have examined all possibilities (EAP).
DSN->EAP
Fran has NEVER discovered something new (!DSN). Therefore Fran has never explored all possibilities (!EAP).
So the flaw here is:
A->B
!A
__________
!B
I think your issue may be with the "therefore" in answer B. As it's not saying !DSN->!EAP, it's saying:
!DSN
_______
!EAP
Does this follow for you? I admit that I'm possibly wrong, but that's the way I see it.
@.hopkins 65+ is typically the range when we talk about subtle differences
What do you mean by this exactly? Subtle differences as in 65-Present are a bit harder than, say, 50-64?
@ Just a note to anyone else reading this thread: Do not take PTs without a scantron
I hope that nobody inferred from my OP that anybody should do this. As @ says, take every PT with a Scantron! This is what makes me feel most defeated, as I'd done ~20 PrepTests with no issues, and then on the real deal...there it is. I drilled with them, I PrepTested with them. So frustrating
@.janson35 Try this out next time/when you practice
Absolutely. I'm probably going again in December, so the next month or two will definitely involve this strategy.
There it was, staring back at me, a giant albatross of a mistake. As I confidently marked down the final LG answer as time expired, I look and realize, I'm marking bubble on row 24. This section only had 23 questions. Where did I go wrong? Did I skip a line? No. Did I double up? What happened?
And thus ended my chances at enjoying the possible post-LSAT high. Months and months of work and studying and prepping and a Scantron is going to be my doom.
See you all again next year.
I guess I could be talked out of taking it. I took one yesterday. My last 4 scores average to the score that I want (and are all within one point of each other). I'm happy with the place I'm in, I just tend to worry that when I sit down I feel like I won't be up to speed after a 4-5 day break. Like the brain is stuck in molasses for a section of two.
