It is over!!!

I feel right now exactly like when you get on a roller coaster, they buckle you in, and just before it sets off, you ask yourself, why did I get myself into this??
-
At which point are you supposed to give up on a question? You still need to invest some time to read it, at least.
-
Thank you guys. Being a paralegal, questions involving legal issues make me think about what happens in real life. I forget, I cannot do it. You are right that if you look just at the information in the stimulus, and solve this question technically,…

Answer D is wrong since the information used in it is not used as a premise to support the conclusion. The stuff about years of medical training is just background information. The gap is between completing evaluation program and being competent, an…

Some knowledge of cognitive biases, how to make a proper argument, and knowing as many logical fallacies as possible helped me improve on LR. Also, drilling causation questions, as well as questions involving numbers and % helped a lot. When readi…

In assumption questions, most of the time, the gap is between the predicate of the conclusion and a premise. For example, It will rain tonight because the sky is overcast. Here the gap is between "will rain" and "the sky is overcast." The sufficient…

Those type of questions are usually directed at testing if you understand that numbers and % need to be viewed in a bigger context to qualify as adequate evidence for a conclusion. For instance, profit from sales of product A increased 25% and from …

Jonathan, I would do ANY tricks to improve my score, even doing PTs standing upside down ) This method just really helps me with the trap answer choices. If I read a trap answer choice first, then my judgement becomes biased, and I cannot see the co…

If you get there too early, you can just walk around the campus and look at the trees and the sky, and kind of meditate. That should help release the stress before the test. The testing center is around 10 min from my house, and I am planning to get…

That's December 2006 test. I just could not understand what that argument was about. The language is so convoluted, and the subject so abstract. What do you do when something like this comes up? Do you need to come up with a hypothetical scenario to…

Powerscore website has downloadable preptests 1-71

When I realize that 180 score is so far away...
-
Some PTs are more difficult then others, especially older ones. Maybe that could be the reason.
-
Very good question. I've read somewhere that any argument asserting casual relationship is inherently flawed from philosophical viewpoint.
-
I was also having a problem of not seeing much improvement despite doing tremendous amount of practice. One day, I just told myself that I needed to review my methods. I started to do deep analysis of each question on LR and RC, trying to understand…

You definitely need to take care of your kid first of all. LSAT can wait. You need to have peace of mind and confidence to get a good score. I withdrew in February and forfeited the fee, but I don't regret it.
-
You need to see what specific LR questions give you trouble and drill them.
-
Do you know all the rules of inferences by heart? It gets pretty easy when you know them like the multiplication table. I've noticed that most in/out games have a Not A then B rule, which gives you three options, A and not B, B and not A or both A …
-
I was thinking about taking the test in September too, but I feel that I won't be able to take LSAT prep for much longer. My whole life is affected right now, I cannot work, spend much time with my family, or even think much about anything other the…
-
I think it is good to prove why every wrong answer is wrong for beginner and intermediate level of LSAT preparation. But, at some point you have to let go of this method and rely on your intuition, since at some point, what you have learnt should be…

Al[^-^]: Not necessarily in that order E.T.90066-1: Dark chocolate is supposed to be good for the brain function and the mood, just as fish oil. I have noticed huge difference in the progress with studying for LSAT when I eat some dark chocolate b…
-
Exercise, dark chocolate before studying and fish oil daily should help.
-
To improve on LR, I don't think it is enough just to keep practicing preptests. You need to apply your knowledge of logic to the tests, rather than learn logic from them. Here is a useful link I found http://philosophy.lander.edu/logic/tvs.html
-
The only way to improve on RC for me was to scan questions before reading the stimulus and separating general ones from specific. I highlight the key word/phrase in the specific question and as I read the stimulus, I answer those questions. This way…
-
As long as you can get enough sleep, you can try it. Make sure you don't push yourself to the limits. Our bodies/brains can only take so much.
-
Even if you miss a few questions on LG, but get most LR and RC correct, you can still be in 170+. LG is the hardest for most people, you are not alone.
-
I thinks that logic games are good to repeat. That's what I do, and the games which I have not done for a couple of months are like new to me. On LR, probably assumption questions, and any formal logic questions are ok to repeat.
-
I have the same problem. However, I got much faster lately after having finished preptests 29-38. They were so difficult! This week I did a more recent preptest and the LR seemed like a piece of cake, and the LG as well. What I find useful is writin…

Reading Comprehension section is designed to measure one's ability to see the point at issue, evaluate opposing arguments and evidence presented to support those arguments, since this is what being a lawyer is about. So, when you read, first see wha…
