I highly recommend that you don't touch your pts until you have finished the cc. Why? bc you are going to come across questions that you won't be able to approach appropriately. What you should do is finish the cc and then touch your pts.
One thing…
Yes, I think you have it right. The unrepresentative sample (US) is when they use some sort of bias to test their results. The idea is not just limited to a limit of individuals that they use as the US can also be used when they have gotten a biased…
I usually do copy my master game board if the question stem introduces a local rule. That way I am able to work with the master diagram and introduce the new rule without altering my main diagram.
I think that as you progress towards the new PTs the LR section does get a bit harder but that is not to say that they cannot be still approached the same way. I feel like the only thing that changes is their grammar approach (they def use this to t…
Yes, one thing that I have noticed is that when you are reading RC passages you have to take interactive role with the passage (just like LR). So, you have to constantly engage with the passage by pushing back the info to the idea previously stated …
I would say that your timing for the passage is similar to mine, so I would not say you should attempt to sacrifice understanding for time. What I do recommend, which may help you for the questions, is to eliminate all those acs that seem to present…
Hey, the PTs do tend to get a little difficult as you get closer to the newer ones. The concept stays the same but the only difference is that they tend to employ more tricks with grammar for RC and LR and simply add new things for LG.
Normally what helps me when I come across words that I am not familiar with is that I remember that everything that they may be new to us (or that they want to us to know) they will define it for us (for RC). For LR it helps to know that for the mos…
Hey, yes I have noticed that some of the sections tend to be easier than others as they are more four star questions for the harder one. I would say that the harder questions can be addressed in the same form that you take care of the easier ones, b…
There is no specific order that I follow for the passage approach as some of the passages that I would like to preform first sometimes tends be the harder passages. I also don't follow a question approach but something that really helps out is knowi…
One strategy that has worked for me is that (depending on the difficulty of the question or question stem) is I quickly eliminate all those that I know for certain that conflict with the information given in the stimulus. I leave my contender to the…
I agree with Ravinder. The way in which you can improve on RC is by focusing on the questions. The wrong acs would be wrong bc it introduces ideas that cannot be reinforced by the passage or they flat out conflict with the passage. They purposely pl…
Yes, there are two ways that you can approach these question types, and you will be able to tell by looking at the argument form in the stimulus. Normally, when there is a gap in the argument form (the stimulus makes a jump from one idea to another)…
I believe that we are allowed to use Ctrl + F, but the only thing is that in the newer lsats they actually highlight the portion in the passage where they expect us to go back to. I haven't taken the actual lsat so I don't know how effective using t…
For what I have heard is that they consider the undergraduate GPA over the graduate one. I think one of the reasons that they do this is because not a lot of students have received a post graduate degree when they are applying for law school.
So from my understanding of "until" is that it falls into the group three for logical indicators. This means that when you read the sentence (by choosing to go with until as your logical indicator) we are expected to negate either the necessary or s…
I have the same issue and I think it is because I am not accustomed to the words, techniques, nor ideas that they talk about. It is hard to attribute my perspective to the ideas presented.
I think what really helped for me was getting accustomed/familiarized the approach in which I would take for each question type. I think that was really a game changer for me with regards to time. When I identify the question type I instinctively kn…
I was doing that for a while for the LR section, and yes I did improve on LR. But I don't think it is a good strategy, because I neglected to practice the other sections. For me personally it did not work, I did see improvements in one section, but …
Let me see if I can help. I know that there are situations in which "if" is tagged along with the necessary condition BUT this is only because there are other component factors like "if" being present with "only if". In this case the "if" because it…
The only issue with that recommendation is that there are times in which the mp will not be in the first paragraph. As other people above have mentioned, being able to see the mp of each paragraph will help you either reinforce the identified mp or …
I tend to have trouble with these questions types as well. One thing that I have notice is that you are able to distinguish the right answer choice from the wrong one as the the wrong ones tend to have factually inaccurate information. So the wrong …
