I have noticed my order of doing LR q's makes or breaks my score. What are some methods you guys use for skipping and doing questions. I usually do 1-10 regardless, then usually the next 5. Then work my way from question 25/26 backward while skipping to do question types i feel comfortable with.

I apologize if this question has been asked before but I was unable to find any previous discussions. Would anyone be able to point me to a source where I can find information about which schools average your LSAT scores and which ones only take your highest score? And that goes for both American and Canadian law schools. I would very much appreciate any information because I am currently on the precipice of a mental breakdown about whether I should postpone the test to September and cancel my registration next week! Thank you :)

So currently i work from 9-1 and study from 1-3:30 and then work from 3:30 until 8:30 and then study from 8:30 till 11 pm i have a pretty packed schedule and i was wondering what you guys think of taking a break on saturday from studying. Seeing as i keep the sabbath, i wouldnt be able to start studying until 9:30 pm and on. So it would be a late night anyways. Any thoughts?

U up?

Hi! I'm looking for a BR partner in the city/brooklyn for the September 2017 exam. I'm hoping for 170+ so while somebody with similar aspirations would be great, it's not totally necessary. Ideally we would meet on Sundays or early mornings on weekdays (6-8AM). Lemme know if you're down!!

Hey everyone!

Could anyone shed some light as to the issues with (D)? I didn't select it because I had an eerie feeling about it, but even as I read over it now I can't seem to put my finger on why it's incorrect. The more I read (D), the more I think (D) could suggest that beauty is subjective, which would effectively weaken the argument. Thoughts?

Thank you!

Although the instruction said "Snacks and beverages are permitted only during the scheduled rest break. Consuming food or beverages in the testing room at any other time is distracting for other examinees and is not permitted."

However, it could be uncomfortable not to drink any water for approximately 2 hours (3 section plus instruction, etc.)

Therefore, can someone share their insight on what the real situation is like? Will test proctors allow us to drink water in the middle of a section?

Thanks.

Hey everyone!

I'm pretty confused about this question. Could anyone speak more on why (C) is incorrect? I chose it because I thought it was blocking out an alternative cause to the cited change in attitude: philosophers spreading their ideas to the public.

Also, how exactly does (A) strengthen Kim's conclusion? Couldn't really follow what JY was saying!

Hey im still confused after reviewing the CC again

I know a some statement can be reversibly read but is there a way to negate it?

For example:

A some B --- C

If I negate C, what does that do to the some relationship?

To enhance its commitment to access and diversity, LSAC has entered an innovative partnership with the Khan Academy to develop free, online practice materials for the LSAT with the goal of making personalized, online LSAT practice free for all. LSAC is also expanding the frequency and formats of the LSAT to reduce barriers to entry to legal education, including piloting the first nationwide digital LSAT exam on May 20, 2017. Further, LSAC has made a significant investment in the Council on Legal Education Opportunity, Inc. to assist in that organization’s efforts to advance the diversity of the legal profession.

On another note, I also read in a different link that apparently LSAT test takers will be able to take the LSAT as many times as they want, and the number of LSAT test dates per year will be increased to 6 (from 4).

Weaken and Strengthen questions are my weakest section types and take me much longer to do than any other questions.

I'm not able to prephase what the correct answer would be

Are you guys able to prephase your answers?

I feel like sometimes I just jump into the answer choices with soo many differnet possible answers in mind like "ok the answer could be a different cause, a different element presented, attacking a flaw, necessary negated" and basically I read the answer choices without even knowing what I'm looking for lol

Hi friends!

I'm revamping my resume this morning to send to someone who's agreed to write me a recommendation. Did y'all use the GPA you graduated with, or the one that LSAC calculated for you? My LSAC GPA pushed me into a different percentile, so obviously this matters for admissions, but it feels a little dishonest to put the higher number on my resume. Thoughts? Thanks!

Ok, we've talked a lot about Logic Games strategies as well as Logical Reasoning strategies, primarily about skipping, but I feel like I haven't yet found or come up with a solid Reading Comprehension skipping strategy. Yes, I have been able to come up with a personal amalgamation of JY's memory method and other methods but I am yet to figure out how to skip questions. First of all, do you guys ever skip questions on one passage, only to return to that passage after you've read some of the later passages? I think that's a bad option and I very rarely do so. Second, do you rather skip questions within a single passage with the intention that some of the following questions will bring about an explanation or light a bulb in your head about what that one previous question you skipped was asking? And finally, I have generally tried to stick to the rule that I have to be done the first passage within the first 8-9 minutes, and the second passage no later than 15-16. Do you guys agree? Any advice, comments are welcome :)

I seem to have trouble with MOR questions in RC sections.

For example:

PT 73 s1 Q22

Which one of the following most accurately describes the main purpose for which passage A was written and the main purpose for which B was written?

A Passage A: to propose a solution to a moral problem

passage B: to criticise a proposed solution to a moral problem

B Passage A: to sketch a general outline of a branch of moral theory

Passage B: to give a particular moral analysis of a real case

C passage A: to spell out the details of tow fundamental principle

Passage B: to examine a case that exemplifies a moral ideal

Q27

Which one of the following most accurately describes the difference in approach taken by passage A as compared to passage B?

and so on.

Well, you get the idea. I have noticed from PT 70s, it can get very confusing due to tiny details especially in comparative reading questions. If you have any insights as to how to approach such questions I would be grateful :)

Hi, i was wondering if, after watching the video explanation, you still finish after the suggested amount of time should one try again the same day? Or wait till another day?

P.s. i fool proof by trying the game and then watching JY and then attempting it again right after. And then again the next day and then the next week
