  • Thank u @Dillon A. Wright @lpadr009 that is very creative of u! I guess if all else fails that's not a bad way to go lol. Was it kind of pricey?
  • Yes I know they are sold in increments of 10. I just lumped all the ones I could not find together that's all, not meaning to write it as if they would all be found in one booklet. I was just hoping that these exams were available for purchase in bo…
  • 160 or higher- GSU is my top school! Love it and also did my undergrad there!
  • I am not finished with the curriculum due to some tragedies that occurred. However, I would still like to be a part of the BR group. Who is leading so that I know who to pm? I am working so hard to play catch up guys. Hopefully, I will feel confiden…
  • I like "The Economist!"
  • I use the former method as well but I think I only do so because it is ingrained in my head from using the trainer. I read the passage with minimal pauses to mark for reading structure, which takes me about 2 mins. I made it a point not to spend mor…
  • Thanks @emli1000 .

  • @Matt1234567 do you mind posting the Amazon link to the LG drill books you are referring to? I SUCK at the them lol.

  • Thanks for posting this resource!
  • For these questions, elimination is a very powerful tool. At least one answer uses very strong language such as all, only, or never that the original argument didn't necessarily state, another answer will be unrelated to the argument (bring in new i…
  • It looks like we are settling on sometime in August @emli1000

  • @Matt1234567 thanks for responding and yes I am using process of elimination to get the right answer. It does feel rather nice lol.
  • 17th works for me! As long as I am PTing by September I am good with whatever day you decide to start. It is taking me a while to get through the curriculum and drills anyway because of my busy life lol.

  • No duck likes water means that if u are a duck then u don't like water. Idk how u guys use the lawgic for this question. For me it is a matter of understanding what is being said. I forget all about the reverse negate rules when the words unless, no…
  • I had a hard time identifying the flaw in various arguments as well but recently strengthened this skill. I re-read the chapter regarding the overview of flaws and it was easiest for me to think of it this way. Either the author is focusing on one …
  • Ok thanks a bunch! I was reading the entire argument for those types of questions anyway so I won't even think about not doing so. I agree that it does bias the way that you read the argument if you read the question stem first. However, the bias is…
  • Thanks @david.busis only thing is the school I am applying to doesn't require a diversity statement. They ask for a 2 pg double spaced PS. I would love to write a DS since it seems to better suit me. However, I don't want to seem snarky by adding so…
  • I see you went into detail about the differences regarding diversity statements in the last post. Would you say that diversity statements are a particularly advantageous to minority and/or foreign students?
  • What is the key difference between a personal statement and a diversity statement? Is there a way to incorporate the characteristics of both into one essay?
  • Congrats! It was well deserved. told u not to count yourself out man. It ain't over til it's over! Lol.

  • Agree with both of them. I will add that an easy sort of mechanical way to recognize major conclusions is to look for certain indicator words (therefore, thus, hence, so etc). Premises also have indicator words (since, because, etc). Do not rely on …
  • Which would make the conclusion that Stephanie always drinks her coffee black less likely. Ok that makes sense. Thanks! I think since it is so new that I prob mix up strategies for different questions and end up picking the wrong ones due to mix-up …
  • This is great! As so have written many times by now lol the time commitment towards studying for the LSAT is a very difficult thing for me to overcome considering my son, night shifts at hospital etc. So doing LGs 10 times seemed like an impossible …
  • Thank u guys so much! I really appreciate such prompt responses and your willingness to give advice. It is 1 am and while my son is sleeping before his next feeding, here I am playing logic games. Lol. I think for me a lot of it has to do with burn …
  • I had to read it a few times but I think I understand. I am guessing that there were some rules that linked to make the A_B_C_D_E chain and that one of the rules restricted the chain to position 3. Or that elements F/G were "locked" to positions 1 a…
  • @Pacifico when you say in CBT questions anything that moves is a candidate what exactly are you referring to? Are you speaking of the entities that are mentioned in the rules?
  • @fuzzy228 you are definitely NOT alone! I struggle with this as well and while I am still able to figure out the correct answer most of the time, not splitting the board game board has proven to be a huge time sink in some cases. After playing a few…
  • Sounds GREAT to me! I was just thinking about how I really needed more time lol. I am hoping for a solids BR group as well. Got a sweet patient load at work tonight so I have 5+ hours to study if I want to (believe me I do). Lol.

  • Thank u everyone! I really appreciate it. I am already getting better at LG! I just fold under pressure when timing myself and do DUMB things that are obviously incorrect. I suppose that I should probably refrain from timing myself until I get a ver…
  • Wow this is very generous of u! I am guessing you took the test and feel confident that u scored well.
