@.Y. Lol you should watch his Vatican Explained and Electoral College Explained video. So mind-boggling.
Go watch the new star trek movie. Its great! Just watched it last night. There is some nice logic thingies with spock you will enjoy and would motivate you.
Don't worry, its not like the first one (if you didn't enjoy the first movie). Its so much better than the first one too. And if you haven't watched the first one, you would still understand this one.
Depends,
How are you doing on the more recent PT's (60-68)?
There are stories where people just studied for 2 weeks and scored high.
Hey Alan,
I noticed that if chat screen is open and you scroll the page it bugs out sometimes and gets in the way.

I don't know if anyone else has this problem. Happens sporadically.
-Using google chrome
Does anyone know how people can get few (like 1 or 2) to zero wrong on RC. I find it ridiculously hard sometimes to attain the necessary information within 8-9 minutes and to answer the questions for each passage.
Are those people just going back and forth between the Q and passage really really fast?
Analyze those rules and inferences carefully. Take more than 10+ minutes if you have to. For those future games that you will have trouble on, look back at them and analyze what was wrong. Be sure not to look at the explanations and answers until you've got it down. Use the explanations as a last resort.
Hey Kyuya,
What exactly do you get stuck on? (The rare special rules, the "twists", etc).
I promise you, do all the games you had the slightest bit of trouble; print ten clean copies of each and do it habitually. It will come. When you are redoing it, place yourself in a "new" position (pretend that you've never seen that game before and try to do it). It may sound ridiculous but it helped me.
Lol, I'm reading on reddit how people had proctors from hell; they come 40 minutes late, frisked the test takers like they were at an airport, very strict in giving instructions, etc.
Here it was pretty laid back. One person forgot her photo on her admission ticket and was still able to take the test.
All I can say is keep doing the fool-proof guide to perfection on LG.
Are you reacting to how the game is set up? Like if a game said "scientist are testing 5 of 7 medicines A B C D E F G, are you making 5 in and 2 out? After doing the games over and over again, you should start to react instantly. It took me more than a few months to get it down.
If you're doing the games prior to 2000, those games are arguably harder than today's games. Today's games are much more forgiving. But it still helps to go back and master the older games.
I was wondering if you can whisper to yourself during the LSAT? Or is it strictly no noise during the exam? Sorry this may be a dumb question lol...
The Secret of Monkey Island....if anyone knows what that is, I applaud you for being part of the greatest kid generation ever.
Only now do I understand what you meant by "intuitive feel". I went back to this and I at first I was like there is just no way at Q23 under timed conditions can anyone get this right through conditional logic and solved it through understanding and finding that assumption.
Hey Jerrald,
It still depends largely on the game whether or not you have to resort to sub-diagramming. If you find spots where stuff like either A or B must go in this slot, then you would make sub-diagrams for each and see if that affects the other rules.
If a question asks you to put C in group 3, how does that affect the rest of the variables? Almost all the time something triggers or is an "eye-opener".
Other than that, I would keep doing the LG method guide. It took me about 2-3 months and everyday of drilling to go through grouping games like water.
5. And remember your J.Y.isms. When the clock is ticking, you're on the last question of the last section, palms are sweaty, your head is heavy and a million things are running through your mind, and you're looking at the answer choices, just ask yourself this:
"Okay, so what?"
-J.Y. Ping
If anyone wants to review PT 68 with me tomorrow (Friday) over google hangout/skype. private message me and we can get started. Logical reasoning, both sections.
I'm soo ashamed lol. They got me!! They got me with B!!!!
@
That's why I was hesitant to get those lol. Who knows? I might have received the faulty one.
@-Ah Yoo
I wouldn't get that. I read reviews that it breaks down easily. Get a watch with a bezel.
I'm not advocating you get the watch in the video (the tissot is like $1500 I think) but a simple plastic casio with a bezel would do just fine which is like $10-$15)
@
Meditate :D
And after that say to yourself "I will f$8k this test up!!!!!" while listening to some motivational music.
This is mines:
(caution: strong language)
I remember you mentioned something about LSAT using random ideas but still logically connecting them with one another and I think this question is a prime example. It was so hard at first to see that "appetite cannot be satisfied..." as the "gap".
I noticed that NA are a lot harder than the older test because of the most random ideas that produce the subtle gaps.
Hey everyone,
You can click on the persons name and "PM" them. This is a good way to start google hangouts/ skype if you feel hesitant about sharing your personal info/email publicly. This is how me and a couple other 7sagers got to do BR over GH, by PMing each other through here.
Keep doing the games over and over again until you feel like you're getting carpal tunnel and crying blood.
I'm kidding, but you should always try to do games that you had trouble with (finding all the inferences, shortcuts, etc.) over and over again.

Is the "two or more" superfluous? I feel like you just needed "two objectionable characteristics".
Also for (C), I thought it would have been necessary for the critic to see all the plays in order for the critic to make the conclusion that none of the plays will be popular centuries from now. Is this wrong because this is not based off the critics argument?
So for (A), "intervening time" means several centuries and and decades? I'm kinda lost on the section portion of (A).
This RC section had the most words I was unable to define lol.
I've noticed that in some LR questions, there would be sentences that start off like "Even though","although". These sentences are qualifying the the argument a bit more correct? I remember in one particular video something about this, I think it was acknowledging something so as to prevent the reader from using it against the argument or something like that...
What are your opinions on this?
Hi Alan,
I noticed that for every PT, you have to fill out the answer sheet no matter what in order to get to the explanation video.
I've already taken a few PT's before the LSAT score sheet was implemented and for some of those PT's I don't have my answer anymore (all i have is my PT with writing and scibbles on it which I just use to refer too). I've used my own spreadsheet prior to the implemented lsat score sheet.
If possible, would it be possible for video explanations to have its own little dropbox with a heading like "Video Explanation for Preptest X" in each PT webpage that you can open and close like in the "Progress" page for each PT without having to resort to filling out the answer sheet? (e.g., if you click the title of a group of question types like "Method of Reasoning", it collapses the lessons and uncollapse them clicked on the title again".
What i've been doing when reviewing older PT's that I took awhile ago, I would bubble in one random answer choice, then click "Score" and then scroll and look for the question that I would need a video explanation for.
What the heck man. Are they seriously allowed to phrase Q4 like this? I honestly thought text referred to the passage itself as a whole. Like you know when someone writes in all capslock and someone replies "WALL OF TEXT".
Also, I didn't know what preponderance means lol. Ironic how I knew what vaudeville was thanks to my theatre major but was of no help :(

What was your approach for RC during BR after taking the PT?
