If I had known the LSAT would let me move waffles with my mind, I would have started studying in high-school. That puts the vast majority of super powers to shame. So practical and tasty.

Hi @"Cant Get Right" Just wanted to confirm that the other upcoming review dates (specifically this Saturday and next Wednesday) are accurate - I'm taking in December so I don't want to burn any of the really recent tests yet, but I'll absolutely jo…
-
Yeah, I'm just worried because I've used up all the 50's now, my error rate hasn't decreased and I want to save 60 and up for full-timed tests. I just feel like BR, which I've relied on so heavily in the past, isn't working anymore and I don't know …
-
I think to answer that correctly, I'd have to ask you to clarify what you mean by inference rules/tricks/notations. I'm only a free subscriber so I gained my foundation from the Powerscore books, but I rely mainly on the techniques J.Y. teaches. If…

I found someplace on the internet that classified logic games by type for games 29+ and I've been using that to drill. It's helped immensely. Rather than just doing random games, you can focus on one type specifically. I wish I could remember where …
-
@montaha.rizeq Yeah, I'm finding that the higher numbered tests have about 3-4 LR questions each section with different logical structures than those in the 40's. Not drastically different mind you, but enough to eat up some time and add an extra co…
-
I'll also mention that the main reason I asked this question is that due to the way most prep companies structure their courses, there seems to be this widely held conception that 3-4 months is the standard amount of time you need. The more I read, …
-
@"Alex Divine" Yeah, I mean I still might take the September test, I'll just have to see how the next month goes. But I strongly suspect I will hold off until December. I had qualms about doing so, but I've read several of your posts about postponin…

@montaha.rizeq I use 7sage for logic games and for forum help. When I first started I bought all the Powerscore Bibles and went through them religiously. They gave me a good foundation, however I all but abandoned the LG advice given in Powerscore a…

@quinnxzhang I'm using the second way which is the way J.Y. uses in his Logic Games Videos.
-
@"Cant Get Right" ahh that's right. Acceptable Situation questions! Yeah, I think I'm going to take the extra couple seconds. In the off chance that something actually does occur twice, it ends up taking more time. It was just something that I caugh…
-
@blah170blah I'm not sure I entirely understand. I didn't peg that line in the stimulus that uses the word "generally" as a principle affecting sentence. It's just saying what would happen if people generally didn't buy the advertising. The principl…
-
@dillion Right, thanks for the heads up.

To be clear about Rule #3 regarding copyrighted content. What exactly does this mean? Obviously, not posting full questions, but are we allowed to post word for word excerpts of answer choices?
-
@"Accounts Playable" Thanks so much for this explanation. I usually frequent the Manhattan LR forums to see explanations and none of the 11 replies were as remotely helpful as yours. In fact, they made what is really a simple problem, incredibly mor…
-
@legal_name The whole problem is confusing me. There's absolutely nothing about it that I understand. @runiggyrun Thank you for breaking down the stimulus into it's components. I got that far, but I'm having trouble seeing how they relate to each …
-
I'm also finding that process of elimination is a much lengthier process to use for RC. Even in questions that don't ask using most/least strongly supported terminology, there will be answer choices that seem like they could go both ways until you r…
-
Thanks for all the answers guys. Very helpful. But I think I may have misstated my question a bit. I take a time RC section, then BR, but is BR even helpful for RC? Because my difficulty is not getting the question correct. It's getting the questi…
-
@1danlynch I feel the same way, however, I don't use many forms of annotation. I've been restricting my annotations to underlining, boxing and identifying viewpoints. I feel like when I add more than that, I become too concerned with what to underli…
-
Yeah, I wish I was -7. I just took PrepTest 54 and got -14 wrong I hate posting stupid questions, so I was hesitant to post this, but RC is so stressful for me. I'm O.K. going -7 because my LR and LG scores are so good. But I can't go -14. That's …
-
I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree. I'm not advocating you HAVE to check your scores before you retake the test, although personally after taking a 3.5 hr test I'd like to know what I scored. I'm not going -1 per section so @"Ca…
-
@"Cant Get Right" said: @civnetn said: But apparently, every so often, I do in fact miss a quantifier. I wouldn't have recognized I have a tendency to make this error if I hadn't taken the test twice and graded it both times. Sure upon BR I would …
-
@Shahbanou I'm in the same situation as you. Aiming for the September LSAT and studying anywhere from 5-8 hrs a day. It's my full time job right now. Personally, I'm finding that as my studying progresses, the amount of time per day that I can study…
-
I dunno guys. I've been finding this HAS been improving my error rate with LR. I do find that I make careless errors and I don't find that I have a tendency to just write things of as "careless." In fact, I think they are very easy to differentiate.…
-
Of course personal preference due to specific tendencies will play a role here, but I'm less concerned about the score and more concerned about minimizing my error rate. Personally, seeing a slightly higher score is a confidence booster, although I …
-
Thanks Guys. @"Alex Divine" , I'll give that link a watch. I just hate the idea of skipping. I know there's nothing wrong with skipping, and that sometimes you should, but I just hate the feeling of being thrown out of my LR groove by a question. I…
-
@quinnxzhang Ok that makes sense then. Thanks for bearing with my nitpicking. My LR is pretty good except for the 2-3 question per game like this that stump me.
-
@quinnxzhang So I understand what you're saying, but just because the author doesn't explicitly state there is an implicit premise in C) doesn't mean there isn't! It could very well be the case that a delay in presentation isn't possible. We just do…
-
Hmm @blah170blah I'll have to go through my past couple tests and see if I can spot any patterns in the questions I circle. What I have noticed is that when I DO get a question wrong, it's because I either A) Failed to fully understand the argument …
-
Interesting @MrSamIam I'm finding that virtually all of the Q's I skip, I do so because the stimulus has just confused me. Once I return to the question I usually get it right in under a minute. I'm wondering what your thoughts are on my BR proces…
