This is all great advice. Something that helped me that hasn't been mentioned yet is memorizing the 21 common flaws. Know what they're called, what it means, and most importantly: WHY it makes the argument flawed. The vast majority of LR questions d…

You are not alone! I got a 165 a year ago, 162 in October, and then up to 166 in June. In all my PTs for over a year of studying I never did as badly as a 162. Gun to my head, I still wouldn't be able to tell you what went wrong in October. I think …

This was the warm-up exercise I made for myself before writing the June exam: 60.3.6 60.3.12 61.2.13 74.1.12 77.2.15 80.1.13 82.1.16 87.3.15 M20.3.13 M20.3.23 I picked these questions based on "cookie-cutter" type questions and arguments.…

I agree with @dubatt that recalling your thinking process will be helpful. Remember, getting a question wrong means making two mistakes: thinking the right answer is wrong and thinking a wrong answer is right. I can only think of a few questions whe…

Thank you so much!

Definitely agree about the 1 right answer thing. Try writing out a detailed explanation for why right answers are right and wrong answers are wrong on the questions that gave you trouble. Even write explanations for ACs you easily eliminated. I've f…

I don't know how helpful I can be since MBT has been giving me trouble, too. But I've been drilling 5-star MBT questions recently and a pattern I noticed is that the answer is always much simpler than I expect it to be. Since must be true is such a …

I have a 2020 MacBook Air and closing all my other tabs seems to work for me. I've seen other people say clearing their cache or something helped too.

I agree with everything @tahurrrrr said. I also struggled with not trusting myself and something that really helped me was a "confidence calibration" exercise. Take a full LR section at normal time, but answer every question according to your intuit…

The flaw is "confusing one possible solution for the only solution". The premise is that the course doesn't NEED to be taught by a maths professor. Then we jump to the conclusion that the department is unjustified in making it taught by a maths prof…
-
Also agree with @"Burden.of.Floof" I'm doing the same thing and am down to about 9-11 minutes per passage. I would also recommend not moving on to another passage until you've thoroughly reviewed the last one. When you look at the questions you got…
-
Agree with everything @REALLYTRYINGHERE said. A lot of it is very similar in terms of what the CC teaches, but some of it she reframes in a way that may or may not make more sense for you. Her memorization practice is also good if you find yourself …
-
I agree this would be very helpful! Would it be possible to make the 'target time' an option? It can be frustrating to do a practice game or passage and run out of time, only to find out it was designed to take 9-11 minutes. Or vice versa, think I'm…
-
I would also recommend, if you're not doing this already, to read the whole game before you even pick up your pencil. I used to struggle with setting up the board incorrectly because I was trying to save time and read and write simultaneously. When …
-
Congrats that's awesome! I agree with @T14plssss that that doesn't happen by chance. I also broke 170+ after taking a break after getting my lowest score on a PT to date. Don't underestimate the power of giving your mind a break. After taking a brea…
-
I think it depends on where you're at. Have you finished the CC yet? If not, I would recommend going through the CC including the problem sets the come with it. Start off untimed and move to timed when you can get through an untimed problem set with…
-
Pretty much the same as any other LSAT haha. I took July and October and didn't get any misc games. October was actually 3 grouping games and 1 sequencing. It felt easy but I guess I won't know for sure til Friday TT July was a bit more difficult. I…
-
@TimeIsMoney I absolutely agree that LSAC's money-grabbing tactics are just shameful. Having said that, if a few thousand up front saves me hundreds of thousands later, I'll take the up-front investment. I'm not overly concerned with rank, but I'm s…
-
I haven't done the LSAT trainer but I did originally start with Khan Academy and Barron's (it was the cheapest lol). Especially since you're preparing for next cycle and not the November Flex or anything, I HIGHLY recommend just starting at the very…
-
Come on reverse splitters! I'm waiting on my October score and it's killing me haha. Honestly, I've started applications, but if I haven't reached my goal with the October LSAT I'm probably going to take a short break try again next year. I know I c…
-
That is so frustrating! But keep in mind that it's the norm to score on the low end of your range your very first time writing the test. The same thing happened to me in July and I felt so defeated but I know it doesn't reflect what I'm truly capabl…

@"attal.taima" said: I’m taking the October 3rd international exam. I’m a little confused about the writing sample. Will I select the time to do at when I choose my Flex test time? Or do I have to sign up for it separately? The writing is se…
-
I agree with @daphne06 and @dos_cool. Just making sure that what studying I can get in is good quality. I work 60+ hours a week and am so burnt out by the end of the day I don't have enough energy for quality studying after work so I started waking …
-
@Vibrio said: They are only saying "try to be more accommodating"? Since we now have to take LSAT online, why can't we have the same number of test dates as North America? Does anyone know if we can register for Nov from Asia? I'm pretty …
-
Yeah the language they used in the email was so ambiguous it made me nervous. I guess hope for the best and prepare for the worst... I might try to get in contact with them if I end up with a really inconvenient time slot but they might not even res…
-
November will probably be Flex (right?) too though so that seems pretty risky. Is LG or RC your weakest? Since they're now worth a third of your score that might be part of it? I would probably try to focus on improving in those areas. As far as I k…
-
Second what @sebramirez said. Once I started stripping the stimulus down to it's bare-bone "X is a good reason to believe Y." It got a lot easier to look at the argument more critically and analyze why X may or may not be a good reason to believe Y.…
-
Hi, @ndilmagh Do you know what's throwing you off with these question types specifically? These question types tend to rely heavily on formal conditional logic--the very basics of the CC and Loophole (haven't read Powerscore or Trainer but I assume …

I had to download it in order to test my equipment, but it didn't take long or anything. Highly recommend you test your equipment beforehand!

How early should we log on to proctor u? 10 minutes? 20 minutes? 6 hours just to be safe? And it's just the desk that needs to be clear, right? Anything like bookshelves in the background shouldn't be an issue, right?
