It might be a good idea to watch some of JY's videos on the comparative RCs for pts you have taken. His approach is what @Lolo1996 describes. Read A, get the main point and attitude down. I might have something in my mind as simple as "A likes this …

In LR, when your brain starts to mush, or you are looking back up at the prompt over and over again, just skip it. It is hard to do intuitively, but the second time around it should look easier. And if it doesn't, well it was good you skipped it and…

@"J.B. JD ASAP" said: Sorry this is a bit late, but I wanted to give a very big shout out and thank you to JY for conducting multiple BR sessions with prep test 88. I can't tell you how incredibly helpful that was, and it was great to get to k…

@Andersonerinelizabeth said: I want to echo Carpediem's question. I took the December LSAT in 2017 and completed writing at the test. Do I need to do the online writing portion now for my most recent October 2019 LSAT? If you have one writin…

Pay really good attention to the set up of the game before you move on to the rules. Think of what it means before you make a board, and read the rules once before writing anything down. Then as you go thru your boards try to think of all the infere…

@Chloefrazer said: @"Ms Nikki" Thanks for your reply! When you said _"but they cannot be completely neutral, because of the negation test. this really got me thinking. I think sometimes with my AC (not just for NA) sometimes I get flustered an…

I had a community college gpa of 3.476 for one year (25 credits) and then a 3.961 for 3 years of university for an overall total of 117 credits. LSAC calculated a 3.86 overall for me which is what I had calculated as well. If you look at the LSAC t…

Most flaws are of the same type. I believe there is a lesson on these types in the core curriculum. Make sure to watch the video explanations for the flaw questions, as JY points them out really well. If you understand the types of flaws, you will …

This question is covered in JY's recorded video calls, which is a good resource https://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/21699/pt88-br-with-j-y-on-nov-1-16-2-5pm-et Let's get clear on the argument first: Babson concludes basically that if the qu…

Here was the way I tackled it: Necessary assumption question. The argument is flawed because it assumes investors putting money into stocks correlates with voter confidence in economy. C tackles this - the economic attitudes of investors do not v…

@TOvsEverybody said: Thanks to everyone for replying, especially @MIT_2017 and @Ms Nikki, super helpful! Absolutely! Hope some of the tips come in handy.

@shanpseudo said: I have daydreams of being some kind of a surgeon/lawyer, but am unsure how feasible such a career would be. Has anyone read a case study of someone who has done both? Or is anyone actively pursuing a joint MD/JD, especially w…

General time savers I use: Whenever I know something is sequencing, I will make two master game boards after writing down all my rules. I think I usually do this for in out boards as well, but I wait to see if there is a good split first. I know I …

B states that it takes for granted any failure = air bag inflate. The argument does not do this. Instead, the argument presumes that more ways to fail = more of a chance it will fail. Not that every time it will fail. The author doesn't even state h…

I am sure there is some consensus on which get harder or different Question types that show up more. However, I feel that each preptest is best looked as as a whole. The goal for lsac is to keep the same distribution of scores, so on some tests you …

I have really enjoyed seeing your comments on all the videos going through. Some of your explanations really helped me! I have also been studying off and on for about 2 years now and it has been a pleasure sort of doing this journey with you. This…

Great advice on here. I have a few points to add. I would add that I love the PT analytics tool. It shows you a breakdown by section, question type, improvement test by test, your averages and improvement first test to last. The only way to get ana…

Also situate the line reference into your low res summary of the paragraph, and sometimes into the passage as a whole. Perhaps the line gives an example of OPA (other people's arguments) and the author crushes them later in the paragraph, or they ar…

As you review, write any words you don't know down in your notes with a definition and in content (during blind review on a PT, or just during review). While you are doing a PT, just circle the word (or highlight because digital) and try to figure i…

BRing definitely helps unless you are consistently -0/-1 overall on reading, both in terms of speed and accuracy. What BR does is take out the constraint of time and help to see what the ideal score would be. It develops skills which leads to speed…

If you are able to, JY is running blind review sessions for PT 85. There are two more sessions (RC and LR2 on Monday/Tuesday). I have participated in many of these and they are super helpful to confronting your flawed reasoning and how to approach t…

JY always says you are trading time for confidence. The longer time you spend on something, the more confident you can be on your answer (in theory). However, then you get less time for any other question, and therefore less confidence for them. If …

A PT is a pretest to prepare for a test, mentally and intellectually. It is important to prepare for the PT itself mentally and intellectually as well. By that I mean take some deep breaths before you start, make sure you have enough to eat, and you…

@keets993 said: If you never see the assumption then that means you are likely already assuming it. That is a really good insight! Sometimes answering the question it requires taking a step back and seeing what exactly the stim is giving yo…

I too am taking the November test. Last week i tried to take a PT every day - and my scores went down! ( i had a 163, 160, and then 162) Then I took some time to review based on trends (a handy tool). I saw that I was getting more sufficient assumpt…
