  • I think that something that may help in determining "what went wrong" could be to journal in reflection about the two days before (or longer) and the day of the test. Perhaps looking at a personal recount of how you were feeling, what you did, and o…
  • The stimulus is making the claim that the statement that auto industry's revenues are decreasing isn't truthful. To back the claim that the statement isn't truthful, the stimulus provides us with statistics about the three components of the auto ind…
  • The stimulus tells us why Salmonella is bad and likely needs a replacement test: it's a potentially fatal illness and the current tests are slow and don't identify all of the strains... Note: we're told the tests are slow, but sans comparison, so u…
  • Conclusion: The policy of nuclear deterrence is the sole explanation of why major powers have not used nuclear armaments (weapons) and there hasn't been a WWIII. Why? Premise a: Nuclear weapons have been in existence since WWII. Premise b: Maj…
  • I would be curious of an example that you find to be a subjective main point, just for clarity. As far as a general recommendation, ensuring that you are able to comprehensively breakdown the passage as a whole into argument parts and each paragraph…
  • Continue improving your comprehension of what you're reading. Make notes on paper, untimed, about whose argument is whose, what is being argued, what are the premises, is there an argument, etc etc. Get comfortable translating what a paragraph says …
  • My strategy was to take the Core Curriculum (CC) in full and then begin PTing. By doing this, I ensure that I have a basic knowledge or at least an awareness of what is being asked of me during the LSAT. After the PTs, I can look at the analytics an…
  • If you're not identifying the parts of the argument correctly, you'll likely benefit from reflecting on why you initially incorrectly identified the argument parts. During this reflection, take specific notes and then identify any trends. After you'…
  • Both "the Loophole" and "CC" provide a framework of understanding. Like, Constantine alludes, however, the key to successful implementation of either or both resources is to customize the framework to your specific way of processing and applying. Th…
  • When you BR, are you reviewing every question or only the questions that you've flagged during the timed attempt? If you're reviewing every question, you may be losing valuable data about the degree of confidence (over or under) per a specific ques…
  • This may sound blasé, but getting a score is the best way to get feedback on what you'll need to prioritize over the next four months. Without focusing on your weaknesses during your studies, you can't improve them. If you don't PT, it's extremely d…
  • For me, working a full-time 40+ hours per week job, successful LSAT studying is all about preparation and prioritization. Each Saturday or Sunday I dedicate a large portion of my studying to preparing my materials for the upcoming week. Making list…
  • Stated above: "Any: Drill questions from the reserved drilling pool mostly (PT 1-45) of any question type." I just made a MSS and MP/MC Drill and it selected from PTs 42, 45,57,58, 72. Is there a way to ensure that the Auto Drill only selects from …
  • Something that may help is to translate each sentence into your own words as you read. Think of it like a quick recap. This will help ensure that what you're reading is being comprehended and may also help provide a better understanding of the entir…
  • Yes, I'd support the notion of going through the entire core curriculum first. Regardless of how much you're actually able to study or not. The key to the LSAT is being able to apply the logical concepts that are taught in the core curriculum. If yo…
  • Well done and thanks for taking the time to share.
