Yes, for LR I always look at the question stem first and then read the stimulus with the problem-solving framework for that type in mind.

@"Clementine-2" said: @mesposito886 said: Do all those schools accept the March LSAT? Some schools have a February cutoff. Yeah! For waitlists they will. Then I can't see how it will hurt, if you're sure as sardines that …

@Dzzy12328 said: @lsatprep2021 The LG with the library game was experimental? I didn't watch that Powerscore podcast. And I hate it here, too. Nope, library game (section that also had Ultra and regular stores) was real. Section with park ra…

@moonstars5678 No problem. The fact that A explicitly uses the word "efficient" tipped me off to its being the correct answer. In technical usage, efficiency usually implies a relationship between output produced and energy consumed, so I found it…
-
I think you pretty much nailed the reason why answer choice A is right above. Before the new device, vacuums that had silencers also had motors that were less efficient, which means they were using more energy. The new device bypasses this compromis…

In the stimulus, we know that the "parts that satisfy our government standards" include Clark brand-name parts, because that's what the advertisement is talking about. We also know that the conclusion is that we must insist on Clark brand-name parts…

Btw I love the profile pic - IT STINKS!

I definitely agree that misrepresentation is associated with intention, but the basic dictionary definition characterizes it as "giving a false or misleading representation... usually with an intent to deceive..." It's still an astute observation th…

So long as you've given yourself enough time to study for this test, privilege quality over quantity. Better to skip one night of studying and feel refreshed the next day than function at half capacity over the course of several days.

I used the stimulate flex option while taking prep tests. While the comments above make a good point about working on your endurance, you don't know whether or not you will actually receive two logical reasoning sections come test day. I recommend k…

Shout out to my proctor Gissel. During the October test there was about an hour between when I sat down to when I actually started the first section. Gissel had me hitting the ground running in less than ten minutes. Love you girl xoxo

Agreed with the comment above about easing up on notations. From someone who used to heavily markup the passage, I think it causes more clutter and redirects your attention to too many places, especially when you're trying to get to a specific part …
-
I've personally found that curiosity is a common answer choice, but not a very common correct answer. I wonder if it's because it's a fairly weak descriptor and test makers figure that writing the passage alone suggests the author must have been cur…

I had a similar "incident" my freshman year of college, as did a close friend of mine (birds of a feather!) who applied in 2019-2020 and took the route of full disclosure. He was accepted into several t14s and is now attending a t20 school, so safe …

The stimulus exhibits a common flaw type: assuming that because the components of a thing have a feature, that thing itself also has a feature. It's usually used in stimuli that talk about individuals and groups (e.g. all the city council members ar…
-
Sure! The stimulus contains the arguments of two speakers: McBride and Leggett. We know that both speakers agree on one thing: the new fuel efficiency standards will discourage the manufacture of full-size cars. McBride views this as a danger; when …
-
I think A uses a subtle language trap to get you. What it's saying is that the argument assumes that the effectiveness of seeing major improvement from a GP vs a specialist won't differ (the conclusion, so this part is correct) if the effectiveness …
-
Often in evaluate questions, the right answer is one that you can test: answering yes or no to it will either strengthen or weaken the argument. Using answer choice A as an example: If we said yes, these car owners with decals are also taking other…
-
I think it really depends on whether or not taking the January test will leave you with a higher LSAT score than you would've had applying in November. Data shows that applicants submitting later with a test score well above a school's median are of…
-
What prep test is this? Also is there a specific video where you got that rule from?
-
I agree with @pd288 on why answer choices A and C are incorrect and E is correct. The stimulus in this question is actually very tricky. Unlike in some other questions involving two speakers where JY might instruct you to focus only on the speaker w…

@pd288 said: A) Talking about murder, fraud has nothing to do w/ murder, so this answer is irrelevant C)If murders are more likely to be reported now, and murders have fallen, then murder rates have decreased even more than the city is repo…

I think there's a typo in your title - what test is this?
-
Yup - I can see why you'd choose C. The first time I read the stimulus I interpreted it as implying that the principle of equality was something that was always in effect, so that the laxer sentences of celebrities had to be due to something else. U…

The generalization is actually the researcher's claim: people tend to gesture less when they articulate abstract rather than physical concepts. The disconfirming evidence is in the second sentence: that this generalization is "far from universal" - …

@pegahnasroll said: @mesposito886 I did not think about that, thats a good idea. I didn't want to stimulate "flex" because I wanted to see how the actual exam would feel, but I also wanted to see what my score would be without that last sectio…

@"Michael M." said: @mesposito886 When you simulate flex on a PT, does the grading translate as well, or does it get weird since it's missing an originally graded LR section? Also, how do you add a random section to simulate the experimental?…

You also have the option to "Simulate Flex" on the prep tests before you take them - when you click that button, one of the LR sections is removed from your prep test. I recommend doing this and adding a random section from another test as the "expe…
