Yay! Congrats.
-
I think everyone here has given good advice, so I would recommend following theirs first... but I experienced something similar. I was making stupid LR mistakes due to lapses in concentration/misreading. What immediately fixed it for me was reading…

Congrats. It's awesome that you made it into your top choice school.
-
That's great news! Congratulations.

I studied for 5-6 months. I used both PowerScore and 7Sage. I would recommend against switching back and forth between lessons. I think that would be unnecessarily confusing. Overall, 7Sage is stronger, so complete that first. Honestly, I would put …

If you're studying 8+ hours a day, when are you taking your PTs? At the beginning of that study session or towards the end? If it's towards the end, fatigue could be an issue. Regardless, I think you may be doing too much as well as putting too much…

Congratulations! That's great.

I'm glad to hear that your studying is going well. Keep it up! A lot of people may read this and find it encouraging.

My chart looked similar. I was consistently around 170, but I had some crazy fluctuations. For me, I think it was for a few reasons. First, my grasp of LG wasn't super strong. I didn't have enough practice with it. I never finished the bundle, so so…

I hope that I explain this clearly. B does not weaken the argument. It's possible for something to be both nutritious (if consumed in small quantities) and deadly (if consumed in high quantities). B does not tell us that angiosperms aren't deadly. …

If your numbers are above their 75th and they're coupling the fee waivers with enticements to visit such as offers to cover the cost of your transportation/accommodation, then their interest is probably genuine. But beware, especially if your number…

Try imagining two regions: Region X and Region Y. In Region X, the average changed from 1 to 2. In Region Y, it changed from 2 to 4. So it increased in both places. However, since Region Y's average is significantly higher than Region X's, if a bu…

I think the range is going to be the same as it is for anyone else. I never experienced any plateaus, but I generally scored in the low 170s. Once, I dropped down to 166 because I took that PT while extremely tired and misread game rules. If you h…

I agree with Nicole Hopkins. You don't have to post them here, but it may help if you define your goals. Thinking long term is good, but in this case (if you still want to become a lawyer), coming up with very simple LSAT goals will probably be ben…

@wlamont I think that only the June/Oct/Dec North American regular Saturday tests are disclosed. They become the numbered PTs. Everything else is a secret. You'll be able to see your writing samples.
-
To me it sounds as if you'll be fine. My timeline was more condensed than yours (with almost a PT a day) and while it wasn't ideal, it worked well for me. With 3 PTs a week, I think you'll be fine and if you're not, you can always do 2. You have a g…

I also didn't. It's not necessary.
-
I took the LSAT in Oct. and Dec. In September, I did 5 sections. Going along with what @bbutler said, I would always redo old LG sections as my 5th section because I really struggled with LG. But when prepping for the Dec. test, I did not have the …

@DumbHollywoodActor Sorry. I didn't mean to imply that one should use the negation test, but just that something needed to account for the set of problems that were govt. created. Luckily @runiggyrun explained it well.
-
If all serious problems are caused by the government, the conclusion is wrecked because their solutions might not need to be economically enticing. Perhaps they could be fixed by electing new officials. I think A includes that idea. I'm not sure h…

@jamiearabi_29 I don't think there's an easy place to purchase the bundle anymore, but you can get the games from PTs 1-40 through PowerScore or you can search online for companies still selling them as PDFs (here's one link: https://www.cambridgels…

I had a similar problem. It was because I just wasn't good at LG. It remained my most volatile section. If I got lucky, I could go -0, but if I didn't I could have a potential disaster because I wasn't comfortable with all of the game types. If you …

The stimulus is a bit confusing, but we need to find out why it claims the approach it discusses is flawed. The approach basically states that if something is posited by one of the most powerful theories (in terms of explaining things) then the ob…

@Pacifico said: Go to bed. +1. I found preparing for the LSAT much more mentally draining than most other things. Most of the time, I can ignore being exhausted, but with the LSAT, pushing through became almost pointless. I made careless errors,…

@hlsat180 said: Reading the stimulus, I noticed the "But clearly..." but still failed to understand what was being asked (e.g., couldn't babies imitate words/sounds they do not understand?) Therefore, moved on to the answers hoping to infer a clue…

Even though B supports the conclusion that criticism is misguided, it doesn't do anything to support the critic's reasoning for it being misguided. The question asks for the answer that helps to justify the critic's reasoning and since the critic's …

Also, the conclusion of the argument seems to be that "Folktales don't lack deeper meaning." If we assume that great insight/wisdom = deeper meaning then the argument would be sound already and there wouldn't be an assumption gap to fill, so we ca…

My circumstances were slightly different. I had a lot of fresh PTs, including all (most?) of the 70s, so I focused on those and did not do any retakes. I made a lot of mistakes in preparing, though. 1 -- I spent too much time trying methods that w…

@mtilton05 said: I think that attitude helps me in the RC section. Every author is on thin ice with me. I read every line asking "What does this bullsh** even mean? Was that word necessary? How does this rise above the level of pure gibberish?" I t…

I'll give it a shot. In the stimulus, a critic says the true meaning of an author's statements can only be understood through insight into that author's social circumstances. The speaker then states that the same thing can be said about the critic…
