I'm gonna be 30

Great job! Mind if I ask why you think you were rejected with such a high LSAT score + 10 years of experience. Does your cGPA matter that much?

If you can try writing at McMaster. They have small rooms, lots of desk space and it is very quiet there. I have written there twice.

Mine is up! Hoping to hear from Osgood or anyone at all very soon

I felt like it was easier than many of the practice tests I did and that I should score my average or higher... So if I score lower it will be crushing

I'll be there!

I don't think focusing time on reading and figuring it out and skipping are mutually exclusive. For each question in LR you MUST read the stimulus and understand how the premises support the argument, or just the overall point of the stimulus if the…

The curve breaker questions for both are difficult when the answer choice is acting like a shield for an argument that slightly strengthens or weakens. For cookie-cutter, I'd say weaken are easier. Your task is better laid out for you.

I'm aiming for February but want to be fully prepared by mid-late Jan, so each day I have been doing fool-proofed sections. I start off by fool proofing the games from the sections I did yesterday and one week ago, then do a fresh section from the…

@jennybbbbb said: I feel like a lot of LR argument based questions really focus on the support between the premise and conclusion. When eliminating answer choices, ask yourself "does this really weaken/strengthen the premise/conclusion relatio…

Maybe misidentifying the premise and conclusion. I'd also guess a general misunderstanding or misreading of the stimulus before attacking the answer choices. Are you paraphrasing the question as you read it so you can understand it in your terms and…

Make some flash cards
-
Making the flashcards as I type this. I should probably make some for valid and invalid argument forms as well. These will be the first flashcards I have ever made in my life. I also never thought I would be waking up at 5:30AM every weekday... This…

The only answer I can give you based on my experience is to make sure you are doing RC every day timed, blind reviewing it and then watching the explanation videos to see where you can improve. Doing RC, like this entire test, is kind of like going …

I feel like in some of the prep tests, especially in the early ones, the first LR section is objectively easier than the second. I noticed the second has many more "EXCEPT" questions and difficult Parallel Method of Reasoning ones. The key is always…

Can't emphasize enough the importance of paraphrasing the stimulus as you're reading along. Putting it into your own words and not reading word-for-word will really help you better understand what is going on with the argument and how they are tryin…

I hate it when I misread things in LR and it happens almost every time I do it timed. Unfortunately, I think the only answer is to keep practicing it timed and sharpen your reading skills that way. When I'm doing LR timed I always make sure to parap…

I'm not shocked at all, but I'm maintaining a degree of skepticism! That's all...

Here are some strategies I have used to increase my LR timed score, which is at this point still not that great (I'm actually in a very similar situation as you but aiming to write in Feb), but is much better than it was before: When doing the sec…

Are the question difficulties in the problem sets measured the same way as they are in the analytics? I.e. 3* = Easy problem set / 5* = Difficult problem set. I ask because I have the physical booklets from LSAC for PTs 1-35 (was expensive, wouldn't…

In the beginning, it may take you ten tries to get -0 in the allotted time, but likely not for every type of game. The ones that take you more than 3-4 times (spaced out a week apart) are likely your weakness and the ones you should be especially fo…

Beautiful, really needed this today... Thank you
