  • Hey Wilderness, I realize this a tough time and, right now, hard to simply ignore - so you gotta make this your motivation to succeed even more on the LSAT. Many of us have gone thru breakups and have come out even better - if only to prove your ex…
  • @"Jonathan Wang" said: Yet another person who thinks Steve Schwartz went to Columbia Law School. Can't even blame him for the creative wording in his bio, because clearly it's working. Trump transferred from Fordam to UPenn for college (and never…
  • Your scoring goal is very reasonable within the allotted time. If applying fall '17 (to matriculate '18) I recommend taking the June sit (more prep time, disclosed, still allows Oct retake) over Feb (undisclosed). Best:)
  • You're kidding, right? That was a solid decision based on what you know - rather than what you hope. What you can count on is that you will be even better prepared to earn a higher score next time. Also, plenty of people have done what you did an…
  • None of the shows [not cancelled] were police dramas = No shows [extended] were police dramas.
  • Geologist argues the scientists' view (that petroleum was formed from deep carbon deposits dating from the formation of the earth rather than fossilized remains of plants and animals) is refuted by the presence in petroleum of biomarkers (molecules …
  • I think your question indicates a wrong approach. The reason why? IMHO the "30min rule" (or whatever pace you set) is more a diagnostic result rather than any magic technique in preparation. High scorers will finish in 30min naturally with high a…
  • Concur. The RCB seems written as an afterthought.
  • A principle is a broad rule, belief, or claim and (on the LSAT) often appears as a premise and/or sufficient assumption. Answer A simply fails to describe the economist's method of reasoning. If the economist stated a different principle (for exam…
  • Depends on what you mean by "practicing." You may need practice with the mechanics of developing clear diagrams and so on, but simply repeating questions vs. moving on to new ones is a false choice that won't help you improve. Rather, any benefit …
  • @ojokelvin22 said: My problem is that the A>B>C relationship, doesn't that essentially say B (Paul going) is sufficient for Ted to go, which isn't what the stimulus is saying? It's not clear to me what you are asking but here's…
  • @Daniel.Sieradzki : awesome explanation! Especially how you reconciled both the instructor's and @"Cant Get Right" 's diagrams by explaining how Open Minded functions as both a necessary and sufficient condition. Brilliant.
  • @DumbHollywoodActor said: I’m no longer 100% certain anymore with my logic. Yet that critical mindset is necessary for attacking the LSAT. I empathize: anyone who's been prepping hard for the LSAT tends to mentally attack every argument on auto-…
  • @DumbHollywoodActor said: @hlsat180 said: To test the diagram, substitute a parallel argument: A [Vaccine] will grant [Immunity] but only if the individual is [Already Healthy]: Immunity --> Vaccine + Already Healthy To explain the flaw in y…
  • @notwilliamwallace said: Internal Empathy AND Open Mindedness together are sufficient to guarantee Partial Understanding This seems to mix conditional logic and causation. I rather read the argument as "Internal Empathy AND Open Minded(ness) are …
  • @DumbHollywoodActor said: @notwilliamwallace said: How do we translate this statement and it's contrapositive: "Internal empathy will grant partial understanding, but only if the individual is open minded towards the process". To answer this qu…
  • @nye8870 @runiggyrun @Pacifico Thanks for all the responses. You made me think harder about this question because I still wasn't comfy with Answer D -- and I think I figured out why: Answer D is (correctly) a NA and not (as I originally viewed) a …
  • Thanks for the explanation! I see and agree with your reasoning why B doesn't have to be true: For Answer B to be correct, the specially formulated detergent's dissolving should have been compared to ordinary detergent rather than its performance …
  • @Ghoorch said: I'm in like sin. I'll start with the PT 44 June 18th! Could someone post the schedule (link?) in this thread (OP?). I thought the BR schedule listed PT45 for 18-Jun.
  • @Shownuff said: LG/Analytical Reasoning This. Only LG/AR have CBT questions. Glad to help.
  • @siheaso said: I'm considering changing, can someone who maybe have an experience with the live course vs. 7sage or anyone at all tell me why they find 7sage to be more beneficial. Which way do you learn best? TM live course is a 3-month set sche…
  • @siheaso Depending on your schedule, plan around 8-10 timed PTs per month using the most recent tests you have. Newer PTs (e.g., with comparative reading passages) are freaking gold - do now waste them! Instead, use older PTs to practice sections,…
  • @Shownuff said: Can anyone tell me when it's most prudent (with respects to sacrificing time) to use the 4 wrongs make it right formula? Are there question stems worded in ways (i.e. must be true, etc.) that would alert you to this, or are there …
  • @twssmith said: I didn't realize that I had left my [XYZ] but my LSAT stuff was packed safely in the car Guilty here, too. Thankfully, haven't forgotten the baby yet, just some of his stuff.
  • @"Cant Get Right" said: Just don't neglect your GPA to study for LSAT. This. LSAT + GPA are the main determinants for law school admissions. However, LSATs can be retaken but upon graduation your UG GPA is chiseled in stone. Many of us only wis…

  • To address your concern, I think Answer D is "too weak" for a Weaken answer. Just because it's "sometimes unreasonable" (e.g., adopting a different code during the middle of a hurricane, following a revolution/coup d'etat, or any theoretically unli…
  • @gaoshunqi said: Does anyone ever feel like focusing too much on techniques actually backfires? Depends on your situation: 1. If relying on techniques in forfeit of actual understanding, then yes - absolutely. 2. If relying on techniques to disc…
  • @heatherm93 Most folks who have taken many more PTs will tell you not to worry about a one-off. But if you're like me, best assurance is to dissect what happened and know for sure. For example, compare your PT results to your BR score. PT72 had a…
