Found an old thread if anyone's interested: https://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/3595/mbti-type/p2 I'm an intp.

@storm Princeton offers a JD?
-
Excellent work! I was in a similar position when I first started. Make sure to leave plenty of room for pting. I'd try to plan for 25-30 tests if you're set on maximizing your score!

Translation is pretty mathematical. If always indicates a sufficient condition. This is my thought process for parsing out the sentence: A is good if (it) satisfies B A is good if (A) satisfies B [A is good] if [(A) satisfies B] A satisfies B --…

Foolproof lg, try to anticipate answer during BR before looking at answer choices. 2a. I'd return home and not take june/july test 2b. Wouldn't think so... 2c. I avoided burnout by taking a day off a week to do the stuff I'd forgone for the LS…

I would give yourself time to do 25-30 tests and make sure you're skipping a lot, so the questions you're getting wrong timed you might have time to go back to at the end of the section with some fresh insight that was before reserved for BR.
-
I think @Kateryna is right. The idea is to understand the argumentative structure of the passage and use it to try to make sense of gaps in your understanding of the content. This way your understanding of the passage is relative to the argumentativ…

+1 what Sami said. Foolproofing I think really helps build your intuition on when to split and into how many sub-gameboards.
-
I'd take a day or two off for some wellness and know that your high BR is indicative of your high level analysis. The question when you hop back into it is what steps you should follow to get closer to that score. My hunch would be that you might wa…

How do you study for RC? LR? I'd make sure you're able to execute what I think are some of the most fundamental skills for those sections: dissecting arguments, understanding the relationships between its parts, and finding flaws. Hope this very g…

How I would pause when reading it, as indicated by the commas. The ways by which you may get money, almost without exception, lead downward. To have done anything by which you earned money, merely is to have been truly idle or worse. If the labor…

Congrats on the LSAT score! You should apply everywhere you'd be happy attending!
-
I think the sentiment echoed throughout this discussion is probably right. Law school admissions officers know they're admitting more than a number. So, once you meet the numbers cutoff, you have to be liked. So, while you could get a numbers boost,…

I’m not sure that every sa allows for a perfect prephrase but I would think that someone with high level analysis could do a pretty decent job to get to at least a vague prephrase or thought of how the connection ought to be made without ever lookin…
-
I see. But how would you know which one to use when multiple answer choices target multiple premises? They build the answer choices to lead you in the wrong direction. Wouldn’t you just be left at square one if it weren’t for your analysis of the st…
-
Are you saying to use answer choices to test which premise to use? If so, I would recommend not doing that unless you’re desperate (which happens on the Lsat). Rather, get good at analyzing the passage before looking at the answer choices. The answ…
-
Heller there, I would be tempted to advise against using any hard and fast rule to identify which premise to use to link the conclusion. Rather, view the conclusion as your destination and think of the premises as your path(s) to get there. P1: in…
-
Congrats on the improvement! I probably wouldn’t have given the same advice to hold off on pting. I think closing gaps between timed and br scores has a lot to do with test taking strategy. Do you make every second count? Do you have significant pau…

Breaking into the 170s is not unrealistic but your timeline would stress me out. I’d make sure your test taking strategy (skipping questions) is on point. This helped me achieve consistency in my scoring and made me adaptable to each test. How rigor…
-
I say NA! For the conclusion to be drawn it must be that case (it is required that...) x is true. Conclusion follows —> x assumed = na assumption question.
-
Definitely cut yourself a break. Everybody has their own life timeline. Consistent scheduling is really important. How many tests have you taken? What are you struggling with specifically? How many are you missing per section?
-
Make sure to plan for a lot of tests with rigorous br. I’d try to set aside 20-30.
-
Happy to help.
-
Make sure you have a key to label parts of the argument. I always underline my conclusion, bracket premises, and leave the context alone. See where you are before you look at the answer choices on br. Do you have any anticipation of what the right a…

Didn't communicate properly. No, not studying anymore. Was just going to try and hold a review session on pt70. Trying to offer something and I think holding a session where people could ask questions about a test or ask me about my studying process…
-
4sure, unless you have good reasons to take the june one.
-
LSAT is supposed to test general reasoning skill. Reasoning is definitely important for law school, practice of law, and most importantly, life.
-
Skipping a ton was the most important thing for me. I like to skip whenever my heart desires so I don’t pause during the test. I’d rather do all the questions that flow for me first. This leaves you more time for the questions where factor x got in …
-
Practice practice practice. I did my very best to refine (untimed) how I solved the game before watching the solution. This way I maximized the reasoning burden on myself. I then would synthesize my solution with jy’s to come up with what I thought …

I’d want much more than a month to focus on testing. Took a long time to even out my score and test taking strategy.
