I'd say whatever works for you at the time. There will absolutely be times where you will want to diagram it. But as long as you can hold it in your head (don't forget the contrapositive!) you're good.
Also tip: Since you are new, train your self t…

Just curious how long do you blind review for when you first started? I ask b/c I thought I was crazy spending over 12-15 hours with each PT. It would take me 3-4 hours each section to TRULY work through.
I tricked my head back and forth when I first started. Then I woke up and quit making it so dang complicated!
What does the word necessary mean to you? To me it's...well necessary. It's required. I HAVE TO HAVE IT. These are all synonyms for necess…

Personally, I was having trouble figuring out how I would incorporate the extra LR sections. Now that they're adding an experimental section, they solved this problem for me. I'll do the extra LR section for the stamina and getting used to a 4 secti…
Sorry I'm no help but am curious for curiosity's sake. I get the hesitation because it can feel like a graduate student is recommending you. My opinion this is not advice b/c I have no real clue on the answer:
I'd say, a PhD student isn't technical…
All of the practice tests we have are 4 sections. You should be able to disable the "flex" option somehow and it will add in the 4th section. That can play to your stamina and it will also give you a more accurate score because those tests were scal…
The Logic Loophole book uses examples exactly like that as a point of emphasis. It tries to get you to look for argument structure and see past the content.

Is your stimulus have lacking a method of reasoning like causality or conditionality? As students we are used to diagramming those more often etc. Could you try the " pancake" version to notate?:

1-35 are for drilling problem questions and for full proofing logic games.

Your username is confusing me!
You should learn how* before how fast*. As you are learning the material the first time through don't worry about timing. You will have so. many. more. opportunities too worry about timing when you full-proof.

thank you for posting. I want to read it so bad but doint want to spoil. but if it's like you say it may be worth skipping to sooner if its beneficial to my prep sooner.
I just missed a 166 pt b/c I had to skip the last 8 LG questions. easy game too. Ive bits of full proof but am about to go to town.
Ahhh lsat irony. The solution for your timing concern of a section, is in itself a timing concern for your preparati…
I feel like this test is so stingy with everything. the one thing they are not stingy with, just doesn't help me at all. Laugh at me. Laugh!
Serious question and no shade if you do! Do people used 5 pieces of paper? 4? 3?
Side questions Cuz curious: I read somewhere that circular reasoning answer choices are almost always wrong. I have no dog in this fight and I'lll check to make sure even if it is. I just wonder why they went with this one to be so often wrong. Mayb…
Hi!

Much of her statement was about growing up in a pla…
*I'm bad a mislabeling rules and a low scorer.
It's a weird situation. You lose some valuable time rechecking your notations. But the reality is one missed rule even slightly misdiagramed, I mean it could ruin an entire section and for some people,…
OMG. You're the best. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this very thoughtful comment filled with amazing tips.
So the 154 was my score on an actual LSAT. I think I did one or perhaps two prep tests using Khan Academy before I wr…

I've seen some advice from, I think it was the lsat demon guy. His kinda blanket statement advice was something like, if you are scoring consistently in the 155 to just below or at 160, then you are going too fast and answering too many questions.
