Check out the world chess rankings for classical vs. blitz. The difference in performance is...overblown. Fabiano is #2 in "classical" and #8 in blitz. Almost every person in the top of classical is also somewhere in the top of blitz, it's just the …

I don't understand his argument - halfway into the podcast and all he says is "why do we value speed?" Well, why not? He hasn't said anything about why speed shouldn't be valued. Obviously we value getting the correct answer, but isn't expertise goi…

This is a really bad idea. Please do not raise this issue to LSAC or law schools. Think about it from the law school's perspective. There is a red flag in your record for having worked past the time allotted. That's not a dealbreaker. I'm sure they'…

Thank you. Could you share your diagnostic breakdown in each section (if you remember)?

@"Leah M B" said: @anonclsstudent We may have to agree to disagree, but I do in fact disagree with a lot of your post here. First, do you have the question reference from the example you gave of the LSAT's use of many? I would like to rea…

Did you have much experience with writing analytical papers before law school? What was your undergrad major?
-
I would like to re-iterate that 'many' does not mean 'some'. The reason it is said to mean some is that in the context of drawing inferences from multiple quantified statements, it allows the same kind of inferences that "some" allows. In addition, …
-
OP, the LSAT is not inconsistent in how it uses many. It's just the curricula that say "many" means "some" are wrong. It doesn't mean the exact same thing as "some". Your analysis of this problem is correct - if "many" did equal "some", then (A) wou…

@username_hello said: Does "Many" = "Some" or "More than one" ? 7sage says "many" = "some." Thus, "many" can include "one." But other resources have said "many" means 2 or more. Thus, "many" would NOT include "one." So does "man…

I would expect it to take at least 3 years of committed studying.

Bump.

@Shrilaraune said: @MindyKale said: I do not write out conditional logic during LR questions. I think that saves time for me. However, I think not writing the whole thing out came due to practice. How I go about identifying quickly…

I got a 180 and diagram frequently. Probably ~2-3 problems per LR section. Usually one of the difficult parallel reasoning questions and one MBT or Sufficient.

How have you only gotten 100% on a game a single time??? Am I misunderstanding you? Are you referring to a games section or a single game? Can you do the first game in a section - usually a basic ordering game - perfectly taking 35 minutes??

The text-based lesson materials are actually quite good. The video instructors are not good, but it does make sense for students to read the textual curriculum.

Quick reaction: Sal Khan is not great at explaining LSAT problems. Doesn't break down problems in a step by step fashion - sometimes goes direclty answer choices without analyzing stimulus well up front. Does not even talk about reversed logic in a…

So what does everyone think?

You can still make it to Columbia NYU or Chicago if you get a 175+. (If you are a URM, you can still get into Harvard and possibly Yale and Stanford. In addition, if URM, the required LSAT score will be much lower - probably 158+ will give you a goo…

Premises are reasons that support the conclusion. No, you do not always have to have a premise indicator. You have to think about the content of the sentences and how they relate to the conclusion. If it's something the author is pointing to as a r…

@btate87 said: I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I don't see the point. I worked through tests with a soft timer and got an idea of what the test was, then started prepping. I had no desire for the voice in the back of my mind to be telling me…

@Ignatius said: I feel so defeated right now, and I need some advice. I've been studying for this exam for a little over a year, and I feel like I need to reexamine my study methods. I've taken 23 PTs (including my diagnostic) in total, with a…

@"Habeas Porpoise" said: I actually participated in the Beta (just to check it out 'cause I was curious --- the program is made jointly with the LSAC), but I was honestly not a fan. It doesn't hold a candle to 7Sage. I'm not allowed to share d…
-
They do mean the same thing. Your analysis in the OP is correct.
-
Don't think of the stimulus as a stimulus. It's a set of individual sentences. Read each sentence one at a time and break long sentences up into halves or even thirds. Understand each part one at a time and don't read further unless you can restate …
