I know law school admission officers communicate often with each other. Also, from the way undergrad admission officers had access to the list of schools applicants applied to (a fact that is not readily made public knowledge), I'm going to guess th…
TLS is chock full of success stories and detailed guides. I think there's also a document somewhere there that detailedly describes what a bunch (15+) of top scorers did. Don't get obsessed with TLS (it is unnecessarily intimidating) but do take the…
I struggle with weakening and flaws q's too. You all may do this already but as soon as you read the conclusion, think of the anti-conclusion so you can get the ball rolling (toward weakening the argument in any way possible). So if the conclusion i…
If you have spare tests left, do some sets of 2-4 LR questions under 2-4 minutes depending on their level of difficulty (judged by what number they are). This is just to keep your brain familiar with bursts of pressure while not tiring it out. And I…
Hey,
No need to feel screwed. I was in a similar situation as you after I finished my Blueprint course a year ago (biggest financial mistake of my life yet, don't do it). To be frank, I didn't even go to the classes or watch most of the videos beca…
@dictronic110 woww, great catch. The one you found is definitely more tricky to understand, but I feel like the word 'most' is in fact still central to the answer choice, and implied by the conclusion (and more specifically by the words "no better t…
@eucalyptus, yeap, 'most' worked in that case because the argument core hinged on the fact that there was a majority. Otherwise, I think it's fairly safe to assume that the word "most" is generally unnecessary in NAs.
Thank you all for your input!
I actually found a NA question that did in fact have "most" in the correct answer choice. As was predicted, the stimulus implied the necessity to have the correct answer be qualified with 'most.' If anyone is curious, …
Thanks for replying!
Hmm I feel like it's not that 'most' isn't strong enough for NA questions. After all, if you go one level higher, you get to "all" and that is definitely generally too strong for necessary assumptions ("all" is typically used …
Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to write out an in-depth explanation!
My issue with this question was identifying the fluff, something you so effortlessly knew what to do with. I've only seen one other LR question (about a farmer being …
I never 'stopped' studying though I did lay off on the full PTs after seeing my score drop by up to 10 points before the September administration. There was a point when I would read the words and not understand a thing.
I think your 1 PT a week is…
I do that too. I sometimes run out of time at the end of the RC sections and I'd rather rush through a passage with less questions than one with more questions (= less questions to get incorrect because of no time).
I personally never quite underst…
That happened to me as I prepared for the September exam (cancelled score, retaking December). Because I was taking a full PT every 3 days and studying 24/7, I knew it was a result of burning out.
The more you stress, the worse you may perform. Tr…
Careless mistakes have always been my bane, especially on the LR, so I did the following and am improving slowly but surely:
1) Make a list of your most common careless mistakes. Add to the list as you come across new ones/remember others
2) Read t…
Ah, thank you so much to both @ttunden and @joegotbored-1 for the fast, comprehensive and friendly replies to my ignorant question!!
I was hoping the -10 meant we could get that many incorrect and still have a 180. If only right, haha.
I've actua…
I.. have a really dumb question. What does it mean for a curve to have -10 or -12?
I'm not sure if I'm being hard on myself or if I should cancel my score. I wish they would at least tell us which section was the experimental a few days after the …
