I am trying to transfer course PDF files onto a flash drive so that I may be able use a business size printer at my father's office, rather than print hundreds of pages off of my own printer, or even worse have to pay for them at a public library or something of that nature. However, when I transferred some of the files I wanted to print onto a flash drive for him to take to work, he could not access them once he tried to open any of the PDF's on his own computer. I understand that there may be some copyright restrictions on these files, however by paying for them I thought I would be able to transfer them for the purposes of printing. Can someone please tell me if this is even possible or has been done before?

Do you guys use the double not arrow that the PS LR Bible is talking about? I haven't yet stumbled upon a lesson where JY talks about it so it doesn't look like he's particularly fond of it. I personally find it quite confusing. Is the same as /A (-) /B?

I am looking for a study partner who is aiming to score around 175 or higher. I live in Miami, but your location doesn't really matter that much to me. I am consistently getting full-scores in the games section, so I am mainly looking to talk about RC and LR sections. We can talk over the phone, e-mails, or Skype whatever you prefer. I am taking the LSAT in Dec. Your age, race, sex etc do not matter one bit to me but just for your information: I am nearly 50-year-old, European woman and former professor of neuroscience specializing in memory and learning.

I expected a few f-bomb responses. Yea, I'm well aware that people swear. I've dropped my share. But I don't go into a professional setting and expect to hear it. You don't walk into a Dillards and expect to hear the sales associate say "let me get you some f---ing pants" Its nice to have some places where you don't have to hear it. I can be "light" and "humorous" without swearing. And if everyone does it what's so humorous about it anyway? I have emailed J.Y. My complaints were heard. The end. On to the next lesson. Back to the LSAT.

Hello, I am trying to improve on logic games and am wondering if recycling old games is a good strategy. I do not want to burn out through other logic games in PTs because I will need those for simulated test prep conditions.

In short, does using old logic games that one has already completed have any value when attempting to get better?

So I thought SA questions were rough, but nope! NA questions are going to be the death of me! I'm just not able to distinguish between sufficient and necessary when looking at the answer choices but it makes sense to me when reviewing the lessons before the questions. Weird, I know. Initially I didn't negate because it won't always work so I wanted to learn how to actually find the necessary Assumption, but now I'm just like screw it! I'm wondering if I can get away with just negating the answer choices? How badly do you guys think this will harm me? Anybody wanna take a stab at getting me to see how you conquer these questions? Anything is greatly appreciated! TIA!

Has anyone figured out when "complete and accurate" means complete and accurate for any one individual game board (PT 43, S4, Q18) vs. when it means complete and accurate across all possibilities across all game boards (PT 43, S4, Q15)? Its a stupid mistake that often causes me to lose an obvious point.

There's been several posts about this, but I haven't found any consensus. I understand that we should attack the support relationship, but is it also proper to directly attack premises (assuming that they legitimately attack them and it's not an LSAT trap)? Does the same apply to conclusions? Is it just so uncommon that a well-grounded on either of them exists that it wouldn't be beneficial to examine questions in that mindset?

Hi everyone,

I've noticed that on the recent prep tests I've managed to get my hands on (albeit not the MOST recent out there) there is a comparative reading section. I noticed that there aren't really any lessons on this in the curriculum. Is comparative readings still part of reading comprehension on the LSAT or no? Thanks in advance.

Is it really necessary to be dropping f bombs and swearing through out the lessons? This is your product that you as a business are selling to customers. Don't assume that just because your customers are young they don't expect professionalism.

I would like to print out all of the PDF's for this course, however when I click on a specific lesson that is signified to contain a PDF file, the system marks that lesson with a "check mark", indicating that I have completed the lesson, which I clearly have not. Is there a way to download the PDF's from a lesson without having this occur?

Hey everyone! I just took Pt 72 this morning, and I was insanely nervous! I kept thinking that this this test "was it," and I ended up putting so much pressure on myself that I flopped! I missed 17 questions, 14 of them from sections 1 & 2. During my break, I received a text from my boyfriend, who knew I was nervous about this particular morning, reassuring me that it was just another test. After realizing he was right, the rest of the test went fine -- I ended up getting a 166. I've been very consistent between 168 and 172 for months, and I was really hoping to peak this morning.

I think at this point, the only thing standing between me and my best performance is my own anxiety about the test. I know that I will be nervous on the 27th, but I don't want to be paralyzed. I've put so much into this test and it would kill me to lose points to my nerves! Does anyone have any ideas for overcoming nervousness in order to achieve a top score? Any insight would be immensely appreciated! :-)

How do you breakdown your time during a LR section? Sometimes I feel like I'm spending too much time on a particular question and am wondering when I should skip it. As of right now I usually have about 15 mins left for about the last 10 questions give or take. On a side note, when you do see a hard question that is mainly just a time consumer how much time do you give it before moving on? Just looking for helpful ideas on how to tighten up my LR score and timing. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!

Hi!

I just signed up for this course and I am eager to start using this method. I finished watching the videos on the Blind Review Method, and I just want to make sure that I am understanding this correctly.

1. Take the test and/or a section under time constraints and circle any questions you are not 100% confident on. Also, circle the questions where you are not sure if an incorrect answer is actually an incorrect answer.

2. After your time is up, go back over all the questions which were circled and not circled, and go through your reasoning. Talking out loud, go over your reasoning on the questions and if you have to change your answer do so, but make sure you make a note of it.

3. Check your answers.

4. The questions you got right and did not circle, do not worry about them. The questions you got wrong and circled, go over them by watching video explanations. Same thing with questions you circled and still got wrong, even when you changed the answer during the blind review.

If anyone can add anything or tell me if this is all correct I'd greatly appreciate it.

Cheers!

Hey everyone! I just started using the blind review method and it has been really helpful in helping me see where my mistake in reasoning was. With that said, I wanted to know what the blind score shows? Is it simply what would we have gotten if we selected the new answer choices originally or is it showing the potential range we can be scoring in? Thanks in advance!

During the beginning of many of the logic lessons, a mindmap is shown containing the relevant topics of the logic curriculum. Is there anyway that we can access that mindmap?

Thank you in advance,

Nick

Hi,

I'm taking the LSAT in December and I have a study schedule mapped out. I'm having a hard time with the sufficient assumption questions. I was doing really well. I understood the reasoning behind all of them, I could anticipate and get the answer when I did the questions before his videos to explain how to do it, but now that I'm on the quizzes I find that I can't even map out the stimulus by myself.

Did anyone else have this problem? What did you do to help yourself start understanding these types of questions?

In my studying program I started by focusing on games until I was consistently scoring perfect.

Then I shifted my focus to LR until I was scoring between -0 and -6 total (two sections).

Now that I have shifted my focus to Reading Comprehension, my LR score has been decreasing to -8 or -12. I am also having a difficult time finishing the LR sections on time, leaving 3-4 questions blank and having to guess.

Did anyone else experience this and have any tips to handle this situation?
