@helenharris Hey Helen, no problem. As with any drug you can take the side effects will usually be different for each person which is why I recommend trying it for practice tests before the real thing. As for me, propanolol had no negative effects…
For people who get extreme performance anxiety I always recommend asking your doctor about beta blockers. Some people just have a fight or flight mode that shuts down their minds way more than the average person and beta blockers can keep your body…
Each term in a biconditional relationship has a necessary and sufficient condition, so they trigger no matter what. K/M breaks down to:
K--------->/M and /M-------->K, with contrapositives M------->/K and /K---------->M
So it doesn't…
This used to be a big problem for me too and I know the frustration. I just kept drilling more and more and eventually I got to the point where I just understood the main point because I knew what to look for as I was reading. Asking yourself why …
If there is any harm in delaying your application(and I don't believe there is), it would surely be far less than a poor LSAT score. So delay away and get a great score and go to the school of your dreams, possibly with money if you score high enou…
Logic games are just like any game. You need to keep practicing until you are good. Eventually they will come natural to you and you will be much faster.
I think you are just judging B too harshly as if it's a MSS question or similar. While it's true that nothing is mentioned about staying in power, that doesn't really matter for this question. We just need a sentence that makes sense given the con…
I called LSAC because no matter how many times I cropped the image, it still slowed a sliver of white on the edges. Despite it saying it has to be completely filled in, the phone rep told me it's fine if it isn't filled all the way in as long is it…
I argued that in certain cases, reneging on the vow is appropriate. For instance, say you are someone whose father has connections to the one true king; in this case, you would be free to renege on your oath in order to join the king on an adventur…
Ya it's so important to pick the right test center. There are some websites and blogs out there with reviews of the centers. http://www.simugator.com/lsat-test-site-rater.php
It lays out routine non-punishment as a sufficient condition for chaos and then implies that sometimes allowing an instance of non-punishment will lead to chaos, since it concludes we should never allow any instances of non-punishment when rules are…
An alternative explanation would work for weakening if the conclusion was "the reason these reporters are paid less is because they get compensation in the form of valuable training." Then you could say "no it's maybe because of this reason instead…
A or B translates to /A -----> B, or is negate sufficient. The not both just makes it a biconditional /A B. So that would just be two worlds, A in, B out and B in, A out.
The quick way to see maximum or minimum can be done by counting your unique not both, either or, or forever apart biconditional rules. Not both and forever apart biconditionals limit your maximum and either or and forever apart biconditionals limit…
I second @Mellow_Z with searching for other sources to complement your strategy. I like to google and search for different strategies when I run into an issue with certain problem types or RC in general, etc. But ultimately it just came down to me…
I am much sharper and more attentive after an exercise so I will be doing this on test day, but if you don't exercise regularly it may throw you for a loop. Regular exercise is always recommended because we just perform better mentally when our bod…
This is a great idea. Sami our hero. Would love this to be in the 50-59 but I guess patterns are patterns so they should show up in the older tests as well, even if they aren't as wordy as the modern versions.
Even if D suggested that beauty could be subjective, that isn't what we need because it doesn't affect how the premise supports the conclusion. That may weaken the conclusion, but that isn't what our job is. We have to weaken the support the premi…
You need to be able to fully understand how to get the questions right in an untimed setting before you should start worrying about timing. Going faster means nothing if you can't get the problems right. With more understanding, will come faster t…
I think it's the first one you did. Nothing would be negate necessary indicator and fails would be a negative. So you'd get "If you should not have desired it in the first place, then it is a pleasure". No one who studies for the LSAT fails to be…
Ya that's basically right. A premise supporting another statement that is a premise for the main conclusion becomes an intermediate conclusion. An example is PT 30 S4 Q13. The subsidiary(intermediate) conclusion is "Probably this alleged theorem …
Hey @Sami , I see you said you are all bubbled in by 25 mins so am I correct in assuming you are bubbling as you go? For the questions skipped, did you just leave those blank and unbubbled? If so, have you ever had bubbling issues where you misbub…
An intermediate conclusion acts as both a premise and a conclusion. It receives support from another premise and it acts a premise for the main conclusion. LSAT will call something a premise if it has no support itself and it supports an intermedi…
Sometimes medication can help when nothing else will. Ask your doc about beta blockers like propanolol. It's great for people with performance anxiety and it doesn't alter consciousness. Give them a try for a PT and see how it goes. If that does…
