I've already taken the PTs in the 70s and 80s and I want to retake them. Is there anyway I could just create another fresh copy for the whole preptest? I only saw an option to delete my first take - which would also delete the wrong answer data that were used for analytic purposes

Please let me know if I'm missing something obvious (lol). Thanks!

Hi all - I'd really appreciate your help on understanding the argument in this question.

I get the gap in this question is that just because first doctrine states that "all historical events must be explained in economic factors" doesn't mean that historical events are explained only in economic factors.. that's why A is the correct answer for this question.

However, explanations in other forums state that second doctrine is rightly mistaken because it's apparently stating that all historical events are explained by psychological factors and psychological factors only. But I don't really understand how this is inferred from the statement in the stim - "The second doctrine attempts to account psychologically for all historical events." Does "attempts to account psychologically for all historical events" infer that historical events are accounted only through psychologically?

Does anyone have suggestions for how to foolproof LG and stay organized without printing the games out? How do you keep track of which ones you've done/need to go back and re do? How do you take new games while also redoing old ones?

I am scheduled for 230 pm on the 29th and was wondering if anyone had any tips/recommendations on what to do (OR NOT TO DO) that morning and the day before test day? I am thinking just waking up getting little workout in just to do something but not sure what else... thank you and good luck to all August test takers.. go get what's yours.

LSAT Wizard

Has anyone tried LSAT Wizard's logic game methods? and how do you feel about incorporating that with JY's method? I recently watched LSAT Wizard's videos and I feel like it is quiet helpful but also feel like I'm even more confused on how to learn LG

Hi,

Can anyone explain why the answer here is A and not E?

I have major trouble understanding why A is right when it doesn't seem to explain why the 52% of people who like the candidate continue to like the candidate-- it only talks about the people who don't like the candidate.

Likewise, E at least seems like it could apply to both groups of people since the people who liked the candidate believed the candidate's excuse while the people who didn't like the candidate may not listen to his excuse.

Any #help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

With just under three weeks until the August flex, I am persistently testing 156. I have tested higher, and reached my goal of 160 once last week. 160 is my goal, but I can't seem to make it stick. A 156 on flex is really only 4-5 questions off of a 160, but I am struggling to close the gap. Any suggestions on how to get those extra points in the final stretch? My weaknesses continue to be both LG and RC. Wondering if I should reschedule until Oct or give this one a shot (first write). I'd love to hear your experiences with score fluctuations in the final few weeks of study :)

I'll be taking August Flex exam and I have a big fear of LR section.

I've been reading Loophole despite the test literally being in few weeks. Now I'm not sure if that's the best way to go about bringing my score up 3+ since I consistently score around -4 in LG and -6 in RC. Should I focus on perfecting LG or go back to the basics and read up on Loophole to strengthen my fundamentals? I'm feeling defeated because I can never get past 170 when doing BR, so I feel like this indicates a fundamental weakness. But on the other hand it feels like I'm beating a dead horse by reading LR textbooks when I should now strategize to maximize my scores.

I've recently been working on Parallel Flaw questions and have realized that I am struggling with linking up conditional statements. When I am given a statement such as:

All dogs are happy. If you are happy, you will live a good life.

The presence of conditional indicators allows me to recognize that the statement above uses conditional logic. Beyond that, there is also a "link word" that allows for me to chain these two statements together. The "link word" is "happy."

However, I have started to come across stimuli that use conditional logic, but do not have an outright pronounced "link word." An example of this is PT32-Section4-Q21. The stimulus provides us with the following:

Premise 1:

Experimental psychology requires application of statistics

experimental psychology -----> application of statistics

Premise 2:

You can't understand such application without training

understand application -----> training

In the video explanation JY seemingly seamlessly uses logic to link together the two premises.

I am struggling to see how these two premies can be linked up. I thought application of statistics and understanding of statistics were two distinct ideas.

There have been a couple other questions where I have run into a similar issue. I think that for me there is a disconnect between the context of the sentence and the conditionality. I would really appreciate some insight regarding this particular question, and just a general idea of what I can do to get better with this gap in my understanding of conditionality.

Thanks in advance!

Just took PTest 55 and I had a GIANT drop in my score. I've been testing using buffered time; on my last PTest I used a 7 minute buffer (42 minutes) and got a 166 and a 167 in blind review. Before that I had gotten a 173 in blind review.

This test was horrendous. 156 in score and a 157 in blind review. I don't understand what went wrong. I was doing two tests per week before this; should I go back to that? I was going to move to 1 test per week in order to keep up with my job and also not run out of tests. I started my job this week and had to work weird hours (NY Time) but it's only temporary. Maybe that was why?

Any tips on whether I should massively reorient my schedule? So far I've been doing this:

Monday: drills

Tuesday: drills

Wednesday: prep test

Thursday: blind review

Friday: going over answers

Saturday: drills

Sunday: rest

Feeling terrible!

Hi I am currently struggling to get out of the 150s as I have been consistently scoring between 154-158 on every PT. I am looking for a private tutor to help me achieve my goal score which is in the high 160s- low 170s. If you have any recommendations or are a tutor yourself please let me know! Thank you and we've got this!

I feel like ive developed a solid grasp on the test. I have mastered LG so I consistently get -0 on it every PT -- my wrong answers typically come from LR and RC. BRing takes a really long time and so im wondering if my time is better spent just ditching the BR and doing targeted review after each PT? Any advice would be appreciated as im really torn up on what to do and i want to permanently jump out of the high 160s and into the 170s for the August exam. Thanks!

Looking for 2-3 people to review 1 LR section per week on Saturday (beginning from PT 63). Meetings will be held over Zoom or Skype, and will cover only questions we each found difficult (this way, we should be able to finish within 1 hour)

Update: Hi all, I unfortunately will not be able to meet for this group anymore, but feel free to contact any of those who commented and arrange meetings.

Hey guys,

I'd love to get some thoughts on different ways to go about practicing RC. I feel like I'm not getting tons of progress from just practicing over and over. Do you have any advice to offer me in regards to practicing for this section of the test? Timed vs. Untimed. Reading other things. Breaking things down. IDK, just trynna keep things fun and fresh!

Thanks
