All the advice above is so great. This isn't directly answering your question, but maybe something that can help you avoid that situation altogether...focus on process. When I am in this position, it's usually because I read a rule wrong or missed s…
Hi! My score dipped a bit a few weeks ago when I dove into the 80s, since test week was getting closer. I don't think the 80s are "harder"-- everyone has different strengths and weaknesses when it comes to the test. But they are different from the 5…
I know this is an old thread, but looking for some input:
Before even getting to the ACs, I knew I needed something that helped ensure that the actual cost of the TP was in fact currently higher than the TP. This AC D was the only one that addresse…
The main conclusion is that ABC should implement flextime, not that they should increase production. Increasing production is the goal of the company but it isn't the author's conclusion. Imagine ABC having a company meeting to discuss how to increa…
For AC C, without the second half of the sentence ("and all city councillors agree...services"), you'd be right to say that we're not really weakening the argument because why should we care about those exempt from city taxes? After all, the stim te…
If I'm understanding your confusion properly, I think the solution might be that Q stem explicitly states that the following conclusions (aka the AC's) refer to ice ages. So I read every question,"In a typical ice age, [insert ac]". Does that help?
I wouldn't think it would matter much so long as the professor explained in the LOR the circumstances of her teaching you. What's most important is that you've chosen someone who can speak to your academic abilities, preferably someone who at least …
I'm so interested in joining! Been studying on and off for a year and also am aiming for 165+. Currently averaging around 165 with BRs in 170s. Really struggling with consistency-- my best and worst sections seem to change with every PT. grr. Thanks…
I think it might be easier to argue that AC E attacks the premise if it said, "the extractable oil amount was incorrect" and just straight up sort of said to the premise, "nope". Instead, AC E gives us way more detail. It tells us that when we measu…
Yeah I'm really struggling with the same thing. I've been taking regular 4 section PTs, but I have a feeling having 2 RC sections (if RC is experimental) will drain me more than another LR section. I'm considering taking a timed flex PT and then may…
I absolutely agree with @LetterOfTheDay. It has made SUCH a difference in my score. I don't ever really refer to the summary I write, so it doesn't matter much what you write down, it's just the process of actively thinking about each paragraph so t…
Whatever your preferred method of memorization, that's what I would advise. I used flashcards for all things LSAT that I needed to have memorized, and I drill them whenever I have extra time. It's especially nice since 7Sage is online and requires w…
I also had a few days of unusually bad practicing before test day. Just tried to do things that would bring my confidence back up, and tried to have the most positive self talk possible. I ended up just quitting studying about 2 days before because …
@cpeaks13 you can absolutely use a Mac-- just make sure you have the right Operating System. I think you have to have at least Mojave or something, so I had to download that which took an entire day and pushed me back some. If you go to your LSAC p…
I think it would be fine to wait the day of your test if you really think that the time could be better spent on studying for the test. My biggest issue was that I had a Mac and needed to upgrade my operating system, and it ended up setting me back …
Quick tip-- you might want to be sure to check out the LSAC practice tests and get comfortable with their underline/highlight tools before you start training yourself to rely on them...I found LSAC's to be finicky so forced myself to practice withou…
@kilgoretrout I think I might have forgotten to show paper..and I read the directions a million times and I could have sworn they never mentioned it, though now I do see it on the LSAC website. They really should have questions on the screen that pr…
I am so frustrated with the LSAC writing sample...it was a nightmare to install the software and I felt like their instructions about what to do before the test (room scan, scrap paper, etc.) were not super clear. Still waiting and it has been a wee…
I don't know that you should aim for a specific word target (quality>quantity), but generally I think you should aim for one paragraph that explains your position, a second paragraph that explains why the other position isn't as good as yours, an…
Don't beat yourself up! I've realized that having a positive mindset is huge when it comes to the LSAT. The second I start thinking about how badly I need a good score, or start telling myself negative things during a PT, all I do is waste time/ener…
I think it kind of depends on you personally. I'd go back through prep tests you've done and see if there are any patterns that emerge...for me, I tend to panic toward the end no matter how easy or hard the questions are, so I've found that drilling…
