There are a few stems in RC, but most have an LR analogue. For example, "the passage leads to which of the following inferences" is MBT. "The passage most strongly supports" is MSS. There's also Strengthen and Weaken, usually in the form of "Which o…

Hi Divon, It's because in answer choice B, T doesn't add an additional factor (popular demand, the hose, etc.) that changes things, he just shows that J's second option isn't really all that bad. In the original argument (and also A), the two outco…

"Even if" isn't so much a sufficient condition as indicating there isn't a conditional relationship there. Basically, D says "We can have A, even if not B," but not B certainly doesn't imply A either, so you cannot call it sufficient. It's not like …

Technically, people scoring high doesn't affect it, since the curve is set before people ever really "see" the test. It's built off how people do on the experimental versions of it. So, theoretically, everyone could get 180 in one sitting. But, math…

Kevin, try this: You say that there's no question type that you consistently get wrong, I think that's very likely. However, really look at the ones you did get wrong, not paying attention to question type, but paying attention instead to what type…

Two weeks is an outlier, but if you get started right now (and have the summer to dedicate to it) 3 months is more than enough time. That's how much time I spent, and I did pretty okay.

The argument says if a violation is routinely unpunished, chaos results. That means at least 50%+1 of the times it's let go. Therefore, we shouldn't ever let people break an explicit rule. Okay: Speeding. There's an explicit rule against going over…

You can allow for neither more possibilities nor less. So, if the original rule allows for worlds A, B, and C, so too must the new rule. If the new rule restricts out world C, it's not having the same affect on the pieces anymore, is it? Hope that …

This was my pre-LSAT song of choice:

I think the first step is recognizing they happen. "Knowing is half the battle" and all that. After you realize an error has been made, try and figure out why it happened. A lot of people chalk it up to a "stupid mistake" and then just ignore it. Bu…

""People" who get 180s are actually robots." Does this only count for the actual test day or did Deckard let my little secret out? @wu12345 Even on the few prep-tests I got a 180 on, errors happened. As JY said, realizing when you've made them and …

Withdrawing is perfectly okay after the "deadline". What you mentioned, losing the opportunity, only happens if you no-show without withdrawing. They do not take too kindly to that, but withdrawing, even late, works for them.

For sure. Also, when you see two answer choices that both look correct, slow down a second and make sure the words really say what you think they do. That can help pull you out of this trap. I know the LSAT caught me once or twice because I read "…

What Quinn said sums it up. There's definitely merit to retaking an old test: it lets you reassess your knowledge and attack questions in a different way. Helps with confidence too. The only thing you need to be cautious of is taking the score on it…
