I think the reason he says to get a classic analog watch is because you can't go wrong with it. The classic casio one he says to get is cheap and durable. The LSAT watches I guess are poorly made and, there's always a possibility your test proctor w…
@"Seeking Perfection" You put a lot thought into your response, and I must say it's well written, and thank you for taking the time to respond.
So I'll give in on the low income/middle class premise, because I think you addressed that well and made…
@LSATcantwin I totally agree with that. My grades from my freshman year of college bring my gpa down really hard, but still, to over come this issue, I think there's better way than a standardized test.
Also in 20 years, Google and Amazon will run the country and replace the United States government with a new shadow government that will rule by an authoritarian regime which will render any and all legal training useless. Stay woke everybody, Skyne…
I would like to see the test value to the admissions process be reevaluated. Like the Columbia articles states, standardized testing only show how a students performs on that specific testing day. So a student who can constantly score a 175 and clea…
Yeah the analytics feature on here is really helpful on what you need to focus on. also the more PT you take the better. There are only so many ways the LSAT can tell you A before B
@AJordanMD But just because the admissions process is better than other forms of graduate school doesn't mean it's good. I'll concede that what the LSAT test is more relevant to law school than the GRE is most masters programs.
I'm an advocate of doing interviews. These law schools could easily afford to hire more people to interview applicants (maybe they take some money away from their sports programs and put towards all forms of education at the schools...) but money ta…
@uhinberg We're on the same wave length. I don't think the LSAT will ever be done away with. There's a whole industry for lsat prep (and standardized test in general)! 7 sage is great for offering the classes they do at the prices they have, but som…
For the games, after you've finished the test, I would go through and and do them untimed (BR them) and then once you do that, watch the videos unless you're just so confident you don't need to watch, and then the following day do them again and the…
Well it sounds like you got one bad egg score out of the other good scores, but I like to think regardless of how the test went there is always something that can be learned, whether that be readjusting your testing conditions a bit, or that really …
@sophie74 I've given thought to being a teacher. But I do concede that point! going in with the sole intentions to boost my law school admissions would not only be selfish but also a disservices to these kids. I was involved in an organization in co…

Reading it 4 times, and trying to memorize every individual rule seems like a burden. Especially for 4 games during a section.
I agree with @LSATcantwin . Reading the rules that many times does seem like a lot, maybe do it…
This is also a decent website. You can click on the schools, and review them more in detail, and each one there has a cool table that shows lsat ranges and GPA ranges and how many applications each school has had, and how many admits they have for t…
@dantlee14 I saw that for a lot of top law schools they have some benefits, so that was cool and reassuring to see. I'm limited to only Texas schools because of what my financial aid will pay for, but maybe the benefits they have also extend into th…
For some it does, especially SA MBT and Flaw questions, but for weakening questions the biggest thing is to weaken the support of the argument. This is done by casting doubt on the conclusion based on the premises.
"It's clear JY is an LSAT superhero of some sort." @"Alex Divine" has perhaps stumbled upon the greatest lsat mystery that has plagued us.
This is all too real. No one man can have a full mastery of the logic that is required for the reasoning on t…
usually questions 15-23 are where the really hard questions hang out at. It may be worth taking some of the older test (PT 20-30) and looking at those.
I would say if you could get your hands on a fresh copy of the test that would be helpful, but I don't think it's a necessity, it may help you from having a bias of picking you initial answer, but again not a necessity. As far as highlighting goes, …

Meditate for 15 mins, do one grouping logic game and read an article out of the Economist or Scientific American as fast as you would an RC passage

I would say that for the flaw questions, these basically mean the same thing. What the LSAT is conveying by saying this is, "The author's flaw is that they forgot about the XZY aspect of the argument."
I bought the kaplan book they have for the lsat, and it's probably the lest intuitive thing I've gotten as far as my lsat training goes. They talk about this idea of mismatched concepts for basically all the LR questions that involve assumptions and…
For the LG, I would say look at your LG section and without any time (or knowing what the correct answers are) go through the games you want to BR and try every answer, or at least the ones you are unsure of. For RC I would re-read the passages you …
I don't think erasing is terrible, but it certainly should be used selectively. If I make a whole game board and have filled it out accidentally write the last game piece in as B instead of A, I may go back and erase it real fast, but with anything …
Well that depends on the game. For example a game may have six pieces-A,B,C,D,E,F- arranged 1-6 that are either Red, Green, or Blue. There is one piece per spot.
Then two rules could read
-A,B,and C are all red, and D and E are green
-If a piece …

I've been trying to remind myself that on the tough questions I probably won't love the correct answer choice and that's ok. I don't have to love it it just have to match the task and the argument.
