  • @josephellengar The more I think I remember this game, I think the less I actually do - do not remember a not both rule...ughhhhh
  • @josephellengar It is totally possible. You can get away with making inferences/getting questions right and basically working around the fact that you missed a rule, it also depends on the rule though. Can you subtly say which rule you missed? I can…
  • (( There were five questions, 14 -18.
  • @josephellengar Yes, by doing some work upfront, you realize there is a limited number of possibilities and this game is actually pretty restrictive. Usually the way I do logic games is that I will create very rough diagrams to map out a few rule…
  • Similar to the difficult game in June 2015, this game rested on one key inference and I think those that took a second upfront to work through some of the possibilities were rewarded. Regardless, it WAS a difficult game, but I think it was manageabl…
  • Cambridge has a packet of the most difficult LR questions. Has anyone bought that by the way and found it to be worthwhile?
  • This is very helpful, I think I was making it more complicated—rough question though. Thanks!
  • On which PTs you were doing better and which PTs you are doing worse on? What types of questions are you getting wrong? Is there a pattern? I think RC has become progressively more difficult on the more recent tests. The passages are sometimes more…
  • Those aren't equivalent statements according to this stimulus. If you're only confining your thinking to the stimulus, the author concludes pessimism is bad. Enabling people to believe in better futures will counteract the loss motivation and presum…
  • @c.janson35 AGH I know exactly what you mean! I have gotten questions right the second time and questions wrong twice on the retake, like the unicorn/centaur question. It's a great way of measuring your learning. Even if you already know the answer,…
  • All of AC (C) is out of scope. That would be the simple answer here. There's nothing in the stimulus that discusses optimism. The gap in the argument is why enabling people to believe better futures are possible will prevent loss of motivation. The …
  • I have also been struggling with BRing RC, partly because I absolutely dread it. What I have been doing: working with a clean copy, reread the passage and on a word document, write out briefly what each paragraph is doing in the passage, i.e. Graf 2…
  • Yeah, this is something I have been experiencing as well. But I agree with @7sagelsatstudent180. I always take away something new from the test I didn't get before. I'm still reasoning through LR answer choices, I rarely ever remember the inferences…
  • @nicole.hopkins Haha no I definitely do! Right now, I'm only doing one preptest per week, so I'm doing 54 this weekend, but I'll catch you guys in the 60s! Not to mention you guys stay up way too late for me
  • For the June test, I was coming in an hour early before work to study and then I would study after work until 8 or 9, on most days. That doesn't sound that bad, but I did it for almost 4 to 5 months straight. On top of that, I was studying 6 to 7 ho…
  • Been around 7sage, but haven't had a chance to join one of these BR groups, so sorry if this is common knowledge. Just to clarify, you guys are going over PT 53 this Saturday? Is there some kind of extended calendar of which preptests you're going…
  • Just an added note. Know of at least one person who was admitted to Columbia this past cycle with around a 3.5 but a 170+ LSAT, non-URM. A high LSAT in general will take you a lot farther than a high GPA/low LSAT.

  • @sdiaz2030 I would definitely recommend going through PT74, if not taking the full test. I used it as a way of getting any dumb mistakes out of the way with the most recent test available. It's definitely comparable to the other 70s tests I find, so…
  • I work full-time, and I'm almost glad I do because otherwise I would definitely be going crazy this week. I have 72, 73 and 74 left currently. I'm planning on taking 74 on Wednesday and maybe 73 or 72 on Friday and Saturday. I haven't decided if I…
  • I'm right in the same boat with you, RC is definitely a weak point for me. This may or may not help you, but I saw a huge change in my score when I tried to genuinely enjoy what I was reading. I know, this seems so basic and "dumb," but I'm telling …
  • I agree with what everyone else has said—the fear of the uncertainty. I would also heavily recommend practicing with skipping questions. It feels awful in the beginning, but in the end it's what strategic test takers do. Especially for LR and LG, …
  • As an additional note, after taking PT 67 and 68, the LR sections were definitely more "normal," meaning harder questions later and easier questions upfront. There might be one or two questions in the first 15 that took me a second longer, but larg…
  • Frustrating! And nerve-wracking. It feels like every 10 or so tests you're coping with some change in the test.
  • Thanks for replying @kingofclubs323! Let me know if I'm understanding this correctly. I think I see what's going on in the stimulus, but I'm struggling to connect the dots. There's a term shift between people suffering from migraines and those bei…
  • Hi hope it's not too late, but I also just did this section a few days ago. This is a tough passage and question! I think (D) is definitely tempting. (B) is the answer because you can see the third paragraph begins by saying this "latter theory" h…
  • I'm in a similar place. I've been drilling RC untimed to get up my accuracy under the logic that if I can't get them right untimed, then I'm probably not going to do better by adding in the timed element. I started out 50 min for RC, and slowly I'…
  • Hi I'm in the Boston looking to take the June test, if you're still interested in meeting up and going over things, I'm around! Feel free to message and we can go through study schedules.
