Okay, so the topic has seemed to seemed to shifted from what I had intended. Let me clarify that I was simply trying to create a post to "give back" in a sense to a community that I found helped me so much. By giving back I was trying to show two th…
I agree with Nilesh, in that your main focus should not be timing. I don't think it's necessarily a bad idea to take a few timed sections and then give them a solid BR, but for the most part you should be focusing on drills, specific drills (by cate…
I suck at reading comp as well. But I can personally say that you are 100% Capable of getting your desired score if you dominate the games, get around 80% correct on LR and just slightly bump up that RC score to around -10.
I agree that doing a bunch of timed tests/sections will help you out but just make sure your not doing these to increase speed while sacrificing accuracy. I can give you some advice on LR/LG, but as far as RC goes im fairly weak in that area as well…
From my personal experience I find that approaching LG's in such a mechanical way can hinder performance in some ways. For example, you say your redoing the games until you get perfect under timed conditions. There are two issues with this, if your …
Jayswims, if taking 30 mins to an hour each day or 4 times per week is what makes or breaks your score then you have a bigger issue on your hands (not trying to be rude). Plus, taking the time to clear your mind actually HELPS with the LSAT. Beating…
Raphaela:
(1) Forcing people to help others is morally wrong
(2) Therefore, no government has the right to redistribute resources via taxation
(3)Anyone who wants to help can do so voluntarily
Edward:
(1) Governments do have THAT right (referential…
Premise: Attacks [on persons characters] do not confront of the argument
Conclusion: Attacks on an opponents character SHOULD be avoided in political debates.
So we need to find an answer that justifies the argument that if something [attacking a …
heh people will tell you all kinds of things. I don't see the harm is running your score through the LSAT analytics, but DO NOT CHECK how many you got wrong per section. But I know for me, I am the kind of person that just HAS TO KNOW, so I would ru…
I had a similar issue happen to me during the September exam. I think what happens is that on the practice tests you are a little more "risky". I know it may not seem like it, since you probably are just as anxious on PT's about maximizing score as …
I just want to say that I think there are a lot of great responses in this thread, specifically the LG comparison. I have heard the comparison before, but it did not really sink until this thread. I feel like many (including myself) try to power thr…
@harrismegan, haha well thank you but going to school is not even nearly as intense as your schedule, I wish I could stick to mine is 75% of the time I might be in a better position than I am now.
@harrismegan, do you actually STICK to that schedule? I have a schedule where I get up at 5am, get to school before class at 7am and study 730-845am, before 9am classes which take up most of my day (MBA program). When I go home I go for a run and fo…
The LSAT has changed over years, but I don't think it has gotten anymore difficult. The thing to consider is that for awhile LG was more mechanical, but recently (last 3-4 PT's) that has changed, where they seemed to have moved towards "older" style…
I agree with LSATisland. I think the PT's will still be good for learning, but they may not be 100% on how you will score. You might not want to take the score to heart and become overconfident (which I have done in the past doing similar studying w…
@jhan I feel ya! I also do not know how I did on the September LSAT. I am currently in my MBA so I have a lot of work now as well, no longer have the luxury of studying hours on end. The good news is you already know the basics. So you don't need as…
I am in a similar boat myself. I blew through most of my material leading up to Sept LSAT. I didn't have a bubbling error, but I do think that the nerves got to me and may have affected my performance. I am anticipating a rewrite before scores are r…
I believe the second solution is the proper approach.
(-a->b)->c
because you have a conditional within a conditional. View the lessons on Demorgans laws & mastery to see a similar issue that JY solves.
But unless=negate sufficient, so …
Thanks @rurquiet. I hope the same for you. I am sure we did fine, and beauty of the test. If we didn't then I guess it's back to the books for round 2, we know what we have to do going forward.
Yea I definitely didn't know what to think after each section I was like well, who knows? lol but yea defs working on execution if I rewrite the fundamentals are there. My BR's were in the low- mid 170s but my scores were like low 160's to mid 160s …
@cole I don't know that it's a bad thing if your saying WTF. What I was trying to say was I felt like a "high" feeling, you know. I don't know that my performance was good or bad but the point is you get into this state and if your thinking isn't au…
If there was anything I could take away from the games section, it was that there was no doubt a medium difficulty game and I would say a harder game, but it wasn't messed up or anything. All the games were definitely manageable. But two things I di…
I feel ya matt, I did something similar. I don't lift weights like I used to, more into running/cardio myself now. But, in the morning I did some pushups (not as many as you lol), some planks, some stretches, jogging on spot, jumping jacks, threw a …
your difficult LG section was probably the experimental. I had 2 RC sections, so games wasn't my experimental. And to be honest, I didn't find games that hard, no more difficult than any other PT.
@dubistdu, if it makes you feel any better English is my first language and I also have face a similar reading challenge. Growing up I wasn't forced to read or do homework or anything, it wasn't until I was in my 20's that I began to read and do all…
