I have been in that situation so here are my 2c:
I would tread lightly. Most top schools like that you waive your right to see a recommendation, because it increases the likelihood of candor. Adcoms will get to know your writing style through your …
Depends on where you are in your studies. If you have not prepped before, I would recommend going in order. If this is not your first time with you could pick and choose based on your needs.
Either way, the estimated study times are just a guidelin…
Who cares if K's argument is adequate? Au believes it's not. Au assumes that K did something bad anyway, so he deserves the criticism and completely dodges the question of bias. It's easier to say K's arg is bad, rather than find proper evidence.

I mean...without knowing who we are talking about and getting their background, assessing their current skills, thought process, and current methodology you might as well throw a dart and hope for the best. Numeric scores don't tell the whole story.…
@Confidence123
In an SA Q we need something that guarantees the conclusion follows 100%.
The structure is:
Thriving Population -> Beneficial Conditions
/Thriving Population @ WPond
Clearly A->B, Thus /B, so we need /A i.e. /Beneficial …
Hi Jess.
You mention provincial registrations so if you are in Canada and applying to Canadian schools I have no idea whatsoever.
If you are in the US:

I hate it when my diagrams don't match JY's and I'm left wondering whether I even did them correctly.
Don't do that. JY always says to do the games the way it is intuitive to you. So, use his methods to learn, but your goal…
LR-LG-RC-LG.
LR felt on the easy side.
LG with the musicians game actually didn't click with me for some reason, though I could remember similar games from PTs, so made for an intense finish. That was weird, since I usually have at least 5 min …
Definitely A _ _ B.
A _ B is one space apart. The Space apart concept always refers to the number of units b/n the 2 items in question.
I see the poll is leaning towards A _ B. That would work if the verbiage said: B is located 2 spaces to the ri…
You can only guess. To figure out which one it is, you need to discuss with other ppl and compare. For example: You had 2 LR and Jonny had 1. The matching one would be the real one. Caveat: I think back in June maybe they had 2 real LR with multiple…
My pleasure.
5. I think the underlying concept is that the zebras don't have standard-issue savanna camouflage. The implication is that in packs they camo i.e. blend together and that confuses the lions. We have to assume here the camo works.
For …
Great advice so far. I would just add that you didn't specify the category of flaw you are struggling with so I would assume both.
Either way, if you confuse yourself while analyzing ACs, you most likely have some gaps in internalizing the concepts…
5: E is the only answer choice that accounts for a benefit to the zebras from having the stripes. The stimulus clearly states that the stripes allow the lions to see zebras clearly. With E we directly address that by affirming that all the lions see…
I picked D and then changed it to A.
There is 0 evidence that heirloom varieties can help maximize specific crop yields and that's why the crop geneticists are paying attention now.
The geneticists tended to focus on imported agri techniques, whic…
D actually has a very specific problem: the word "discharge."

Mindset is at least as important as the practice itself. The more you grind at this test, the more prone you are to thinking it's this big mountain you have to climb because the test makers exploit every opportunity to take you down a few notches.

This one hinges on distilling the meaning of 2 separate concepts:

I agree this is a tough one to deal with, but I actually think JY nailed it - it's the emphasis.
What you want in a main point Q is for the correct answer to be all-encompassing (as much as possible) of everything that the passage contains - both i…
I see it as a viable strategy when you can't handle timing and you are targeting a 150-160 score.
If you have higher goals, run from this like the plague. There is no shortcut for taking the time to put in the work and develop the skills. It may t…
Assuming you have no base-line concepts, I think Powerscore may be easier as a starting point. It is creatively straight forward and has good foundational skills to work on.
7sage on the other hand has, in my opinion, more in-depth explanations tha…
Get out of your own head. You are in the zone of "I did everything and it doesn't work." That is a dangerous place to be, because you can psychologically impede your progress. There is no reason to worry.

First, don't worry. If you convince yourself you can't make it - you won't. As a matter of fact, undermining your own confidence by worrying can result in 10 point score swings compared to what your actual skill set can produce.

There is no straight answer to this without a more expansive picture of who you are and what your story is, but:
If you can make a compelling case about why GPA wasn't great and how it won't be a problem in law school - absolutely do it.

Cannot...Unless is super common on LG and honestly, I translate these only when it's group 3 or group 4 independently.
Group 3+4 are the easiest to handle because they cancel each other out, so you just drop them:

Not sure what you are using for drills, but on the recent tests the descriptive flaws are far more prevalent than the classic flaws. You absolutely must know the classics cold, of course, but you need to be able to ID the gap or the diversion in the…
