Keep in mind, all of this is countervailed by the fact that you also save time not having to bubble in answer choices. I think LG is the only section where the back-and-forth is more than trivial, but for that, all you can really do is practice and …

I agree with others that for the most part, you should focus on taking and reviewing PTs. But in terms of the CC, for each subject I'd just recommend watching the initial video plus a few example videos to see if there's anything new for you to lear…

@"SCOTUSorBust" said: I am asking because even on the lowest difficulty questions where 96%+ people get them correct, the average score for the answer choice is typically around 167. @"jeff.wongkachi" said: This kind of reads like an R…

There's probably more variance in difficulty between individual passages on a given test, and between all the passages on two given consecutive PTs, than there are between older and newer PTs. So it's not an astronomical difference by any measure. B…

Take the usual invalid argument: A->B B A You can say this is invalid in two ways. One is to say you're confusing sufficiency for necessity -- in other words, you're reading "A -> B" as if it were "B -> A" The other is to say that yo…

Test takers may not access briefcases, handbags, or backpacks of any kind. Hats or hoods, except religious apparel, may not be worn. Sunglasses may not be worn. Books, printed materials, and any notes written before the start of the test may not …

@"dazedandconfused-1" said: thank you for your help! Always glad to help, and I love the username--so fitting for the LSAT isn't it? I'm going on a Zeppelin listening spree now, it's been a while.

1) No -- if the sufficient condition is not met, or if the necessary condition is met, in both of those cases it doesn't affect the conditional statement. The statement doesn't become invalid; it just becomes irrelevant. Like, if I tell you that al…

I don't know where you're getting the information that LSAC is using some sort of automated eye-tracking software, but even if they are, while they haven't told us exactly what's going to be flagged, you can kind of assume that LSAC is going to try …

For PT52S1Q17, before looking at the ACs, there's actually nothing in the stimulus that's irrelevant to the argument. It seems like the argument is saying that if you make decisions after cautiously waying evidence -- aka if you are prudent -- then …

Also, I err on the side of excessive optimism, and I'd be a hypocrite to dissuade anyone from aiming for 175+, so I won't do that--and I'm sure you've done your research into the odds of scoring that high--but just know, it's no easy feat. Feel fre…

Hey @PatrickM7, have you taken a diagnostic? If not, you can take on on Khan Academy for free: https://www.khanacademy.org/prep/lsat/intro That's a good first way to gauge how much work it's going to be to get to a 175-180. The best way to study de…

I doubt it'd be a determining factor. Kind of like differentiating between a 177 and a 178 on the LSAT.
-
Yay! I guess this is what the forum is for
-
Yes! You are given scrap paper that you can use for the entire test.

@"Mihael K." said: Problem is on the actual LSAT I can't write down anything. What do you mean? Why not? Writing a few things down on a difficult SA or MBT question isn't a bad idea.

When I was studying for the LSAT, the most impactful singular change that I made to my test-taking habits was ceasing to do any markups in RC. No highlighting, no notes, nothing. Just read and think. At first, it sounded kind of crazy to me. I'm so…

Have you tried diagramming the questions out? Are you able to get them right if you diagram them?
-
TL;DR: there is no universal strategy; for most people you should just go in order, but it depends on your specific circumstances. If you are having trouble getting through all 4 passages, and you're choosing to only do 3 of them, then it's a valid…
-
Totally normal, especially if you weren't feeling 100%. I remember in my studies, I once dropped by 10 points! Just be glad it's happening on a PT and not on the actual thing. See what lessons you can draw away about what you need to try to line up …

I definitely struggled with timing anxieties when studying for the LSAT and I know I wasn't alone and neither are you. I especially resonate with what you're describing--that really frustrating feeling of brain fog that kicks in with the anxiety, wh…

Although I tried reconstructing the URL to what should be explanation videos for older questions and I get "page not found" Does this show up as an explanation video for you? https://7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-11-section-4-question-15/
-
Thanks for looking into it! I should have been less ambiguous--it's not that they don't load, but that the links themselves are gone. https://7sage.com/lsat-explanations/ When I click on any PT between 1 and 16, the LR video explanation links aren…
-
Hm, I'm not sure if it's just me, but a lot of the old LR explanation videos don't show up anymore.

But I will say that this is often a contentious question and I personally think there is no straight-up right answer. A lot of people will say that you should never go over 35 minutes, and doing so is effectively a complete waste of your time. I per…
-
Hey there, I think in particular for LR, it's usually best to do timed tests when you've gotten through the basics, and then give yourself as much time as you need during BR -- so that way, you're getting both timed and untimed practice. It's okay …
-
I guess it's theoretically possible--if a school gets way less applicants than it was anticipating because of delayed LSATs, they might start moving people from their waitlist earlier. But I doubt that will happen. Most likely, they'll still wait un…

Congrats and see you in the fall : )
