The original (flawed) argument can be broken down into something like this: "Because a particular way of tackling a problem only stops the effects of that problem, and not the causes, it should not be used at all." I can see why B was a little bit…

"But how do I get better at improvising and reacting to completely new setups? I completely suck at that....How do I get better at that? " I think this happens as a result of practicing many, many games. I think what is hardest about these unexpect…

Personally, I found 7sage's categorization scheme more useful than anybody else's. Though I think each course/book has something novel to teach us, It's probably easier and less confusing to stick with one scheme. So if I were you, I would just pick…

Why would you cancel? a) You won't get any feedback, and you'll never know what you could have got. You;ll always wonder. b) Everybody always thinks their test went dreadfully. I wrote down what I thought I had received after each PT and was invar…

JY that just made my evening man.

Mike (or anyone) - was there anything especially crazy about that LG section apart from there being a circular game? I can't find any details about why people were so freaked apart from that, and I can't understand why a circular game would be so in…
-
Cole - that's exactly correct.
-
Anne summed it up completely. I'd just add that you need to avoid thinking outside the box with the LSAT and focus only on the information that they give you. Doesn't matter if you think the legal reality of the case doesn't make sense, that's compl…

E.T. - This is a question where you might just want to use elimination to find the answer, if you are having doubts. A can be eliminated immediately because it is about motivation B can be eliminated because in typical LSAT trickery, they are tryi…

The LSAT is reliable but its own literature suggests that one single score is more indicative of a slightly broader range of possible outcomes. If you consistently score 162, on any given test you might expect to see somewhere between 159-165. Fur…

cshunger - reading is like everything else - practice makes you better at it. If you set yourself serious goals, like reading a novel a week, then by September or whenever you are taking it you will have become faster.

My own improvement was from a different point, but it was still a +10 jump. Hope that counts as valid for giving advice... People will tell you (or at least, they told me) that the LSAT is something of an IQ test and studying has limited returns ov…

CFC - I feel your pain. Al - To be honest, LR and RC have never given me many problems but LG was far from naturally intuitive...
-
I did a test without timing myself on any section just to see what it was all about and I believe that was a 171. I didn't have a clue what LGs were all about, but given enough time you can muddle through them ok. Then I bought and read my LG bible …
-
CFC - yeah I took it yesterday, also got a -5 on the RC but redeemed myself elsewhere and got a 176. But yeah, if an RC section like that combined itself with an LG section that threw me off I would be very unhappy... What Qs did you get wrong? I …

I mean, there's no point pushing yourself to rush beyond what's natural for you - I am an extremely fast reader naturally and that's something I got through a childhood where I wasn't allowed TV, etc etc. It's not going to come in a week. However,…
-
Yep you can cancel immediately after you have done the test, and yes schools will see that. Whether or not they care is open to debate, because they rarely comment on how they view it.
-
jmkahn579 - Are you a naturally fast reader? If so, I think the key to speed on those sections is a combination of a couple things. 1. Predicting the answer before you look at them. Often, especially in questions 1-15/16 or so, you can tell what t…
-
Number 1 thing that jumps out at me is that you can still improve! We have a solid 8 days left, and you still have 4 PTs left... You went from a 164 to a 171 in two weeks and 6 PTs - why not aim for a solid 175 by the 9th? There's no peaking on th…

You will never need to know specific terminology to answer a real LSAT question, just vocabulary. This question, fake though it is, also does not require special knowledge. Near-term means short-term, essentially. Greenhouse gases are gases that c…

Last few tests: 176: LG -3, RC -2, LR -2 177: LG -3, RC -0, LR -2 174: LG -3, RC -4, LR -1 178: LG -2, RC -1, LR -1 LG is a work in Progress - I usually finish with about 1-3 minutes left and am yet to hit a perfect one. LR I feel very comfortabl…

7sage comes with .pdf files of tests 39-43, and although they are older, they are still very useful. If you are absolutely sure you will have to re take the test in september, I'd use something like 39-40-41 + 71-70-69-68 before June, leaving you 65…

The distributions of answer choices are random. I know some people say that the hard questions have correct answers located in certain places, but it's a completely unreliable at best, and at worst just not true. If you think going E-A helps then by…
-
Honestly dude? Watch it all. They even create a nice study program for you that takes it all in a logical order. If you don't have time for that (which... why would you be taking the LSAT if you don't have time to study?) then prioritize! I starte…
-
It took me 3 timed PTs to improve - since a certain point, a lot of stuff clicked at once and I'm up to where I want to be. Remember, you just learned a TON of stuff - applying it all consistently will take some time. I would keep reviewing materia…

No, I really appreciate you taking the time to write it all out. It makes absolute sense - and to be honest, I should have spotted the word 'friends' as well - the LSAT always does that where there is a subtle difference in the set of things being r…
