I think in your case it would be helpful to keep in mind the fact that you mentioned at the start of your post, which is that you are only 2.5 months into your studying, that is still very early. As long as you keep to a consistent and rigorous study schedule, the stamina will come in time. If you want to try and accelerate the process, consider working on your speed, it goes hand in hand with stamina, if you finish sections faster and easier you will have more bandwidth and mental capacity for later. I wouldn't stress it though, give yourself some slack and keep at it.

In regards to burnout, I would recommend giving yourself ample breaks if you can. Remember that studying isn't just about raw time spent, it's about the quality of that time. A 4 hour study session that is broken up by 3 breaks where you are focused is far superior to a grueling 8 hour session where you might have gotten more than twice the amount of content "done," but you were absolutely drained by hour 4.

Great advice, thank you. I try to tell myself similar things concerning burnout, but it's hard to step away when the test is just around the corner. And as for total study volume, I'm coming to terms with the fact that three months isn't really enough time to get the score I need on this test. I'm half-planning to retake it, depending on the score I receive in September.

During your break, refuel with caffeine, nuts, whatever keeps you going. Happened to me till I did that.

So, I enjoy the caffeine — but I'm trying not to drink it during the PT's, because, honestly, it makes me pee, and you can't really afford bathroom breaks on the tests.

Whole Test Stamina

Hey everyone,

I am taking the LSAT in September. I have been studying for about two and a half months by now. Since the beginning of August my studies have been more "serious." I have been doing two practice tests & review a week, and timed sections (usually on "target time," which is typically around 30-32 minutes for the recent PT's) from other practice tests on the days in between. My PT scores during this time range from 162-169 (the mean is around 166), my BR scores range from 170-177 (probably average is around 174), and in my timed sections I typically miss between 0 and 4 for each section on RC and LR.

My concern is that my PT scores tend to be lower than my timed section scores. Occasionally I will do very poorly on a single section in the PT, because I get overwhelmed, tired, confused, or frantic during the test. Sometimes I feel this is due to some general burnout, and sometimes this happens because of a perceived lack of time on my part. For example, on my most recent test I got -2, -4, and -8 on the scored sections, and on that last one I ended up running out of time and more or less guessing during the end. On the Blind Review, which I start within an hour and a half or so following the PT, I am able to see the answers clearly.

I'm aware of the issues, but I'm not sure how to safeguard against them when the real test happens. If anyone has any tips regarding stamina (also regarding burnout), I would love to hear them.

This has got to be one of the most ridiculous questions on the LSAT.

Is B wrong merely because the answer choice refers to the set of all accidents while the stimulus restricts its claim to the set of all "highway" accidents?

GPA Calculation

I hope someone knows the answer to this question —

I am currently enrolled in a master's program (at a different school than that which I attended for undergrad), in which I have gotten straight A's. I know that graduate level courses do not count towards the LSAC's calculations of GPA. However, I have taken five undergraduate courses during the course of this program (4 were prerequisites and 1 is an elective language course). Will these undergraduate course grades count towards the calculation of my GPA when applying for law school?

All of the answers in Parallel Reasoning so far have been E. I wonder — considering the length of these questions, if we are faced with one in time trouble and thus cannot read the entire thing — should E be the default random selection for these questions, which is preferred to just not answering the question in time trouble? I think it might be ever so slightly more likely than the other answers, especially if the test writers' goals with these questions is to make us spend time (thus prompting them to place the correct answer last).

I could not figure this one out, and I think it might be partly because I assumed "Drew" was a guy...

I yesterday took the PT in which this passage is found. It's cool to see it again. I had already done some of the new RC modules before taking the passage, and I did pretty well on it (-2, -0 BR). Having known the basics of Critique & Debate was a great help, even if I had just started on them the day prior.

Really glad you guys updated the curriculum.

When a clause/sentence has a term such as "any" or "every" or "one exists," is it not necessary to translate it into a logical form that includes these quantifiers in its syntax?

Is this equivalent to the "modus tollendo tollens"?

Can a set contain another set? Can a set contain only one entity? Can a set be empty?

Fun fact: Aeschylus's tombstone famously did not cite his achievements as a poet. Rather, it cited his achievements in battle.

Same thing is happening to me. I logged in through both Chrome and Microsoft Edge, but it won't link to my account.
