Hey there, With 1 week left, realistically speaking, there is not much time left for you to "learn" new things. I think it is actually wiser for you to spend the remaining time on other important prep for the LSAT: maintaining a good physical and m…

your welcome
-
I agree with your categorization of weakening questions. Here is my big picture approach to each category. (1) Causation: almost always flawed due to correlation -> causation (A corr B, therefore A cause . So in order to weaken.. 1. A exists, B …
-
I think we are on the same line. "Hasn't accounted for" is precisely why it is irrelevant to this particular question. Think about what A is saying again. It is not "agreeing" with the stimulus' conclusion. It is saying that "let's suppose it is tru…

@K Great! Yea, "retaking" old PTs helps you to recover confidence. I usually get 180 when I retake one and it makes me feel like the king of the world. I don't really know what is the best way to review wrong answers once you reach a certain level …
-
@Nevill Haha I just took 3 days off and I feel so much better. I did some games to get rid of my guilt for good during those days, but none of the heavy lifting. You should definitely recover from burnout prior to the test day. We only have 2 weeks …
-
Hey there, Since you understand why E is the correct answer, I will just give you a reason why A is wrong. "Crying must have the effect of reducing emotional stress" is the conclusion that the argument is to reach. So considering what happens if th…
-
For MP questions, it's almost always a paraphrased version of the conclusion explicitly stated. No more, no less.
-
haha @paulfan2011, that's a weakening answer choice right there.. and yea, I can't believe I am actually thinking about it in LSAT terms. Anyway for James, I think it certainly is a burnout. 170ish to 160? That is just insane. I guess we all have…

How do you guys recover from burnout?
-
Hey lawschooldreams, First of all, I do understand your frustration. SA type questions have become progressively more difficult and opaque, especially their answer choices. But remember that the fundamentals are the same. Your job is to link up th…
-
Ah, this PSA was a hard one. But like all SA type questions, just focus on the premise and conclusion, and how to link them. The conclusion says that record sales should not be used to gauge the success of an indie rock band. Why? Because good sale…
-
Haha.. my symptoms seem to indicate a burnout. Yes, I do feel guilty about taking a break for an hr. I actually feel guilty all the time. I will make sure to give myself 2~3 days of complete rest before the test day.
-
Hey there K, I don't know about the others, but you certainly are doing better than me. -1 RC?? That is amazing. My lowest RC ever was -3 and that was from the 50s. 60s RC is wooping my ass so hard that it is bleeding haha. Anyway, I just want to t…
-
For those who have not taken 62 yet.. be mentally prepared.. It's a total mind f@#$. I thought maybe it was just me but turns out to be a notoriously difficult PT. Jesus I was shocked by the LR Game RC combo attack haha.
-
I can see where this is coming from. I feel that there is a major shift from the 50s to 60s in terms of LR and Logic Games. For LR, I don't think the logic is harder per se, but the answer choices are way more confusing. Even though I understood t…
-
AH! That is a great way of explaining this question, % of %. That clears it up. Thank you very much!
-
Hey JY, thanks for your input. When I was reviewing this question by myself without looking at the explanation, I actually paraphrased the conclusion exactly the same as yours: large cars are safer than smaller cars. Your explanation of jumping fro…
-
omg that professor is evil..
-
I actually got worse with the newer ones.. because I do tend to make silly errors when I am flooded with so many possibilities.
-
I feel that the newer games are different in the sense that they are much more labor intensive (not restrictive). It seems harder to pinpoint the key inferences and neatly split up the boards to cover up all the possibilities. So yea, I guess we ne…
-
God, I feel kinda relieved(?) to see that so many others are facing the exact same problem as I am lol. I know how to do it, but seem to completely forget about everything I learned under time pressure. Would love to have an intense discussion on t…
-
Check out PT59 Section3 Q22. This is a sufficiency-necessary confusion flaw taken to its extreme, and also a rare question that asks for double flaws. Always watch out for any sufficiency-necessary indicators in the stimulus and see if they try to …
-
I agree with the other guys here.
-
I strongly recommend that you start fully timed PT drills ASAP. My experience tells me that understanding the material is necessary, but not sufficient for you to do well on the real thing. I say its about 40% and the other 60% comes from testing t…
-
This is a trick question (hint: look again at the question stem). There is one word that completely changes the direction of the answer choices.
-
I don't think Jon's explanation is wrong. We just gotta get used to the fact that the new Principle questions have slightly changed more towards being really uptight about specific words. For example, "generally" rules out all the answer choices wit…
-
Yea I also got this question wrong and picked A, but still am uneasy why B is right. It seems to me that the nature of principle questions has slightly changed in the recent PTs. They seem to be hybrid MSS and PSA. I think we should be more focused …
-
You got it!
-
Think about D as a blocker. What if someone tells you that well.. weather is not that important for plants (although, our outside knowledge tells us that duh, it is). What if love and care are the most important factors? Then having current maps tha…
