I think for the money LLL is asking, it's a good deal. Certainly helped me out. I was sort of hoping we might catch the attention of the course makers here (*cough*) because the fact pattern for the 3rd taxi driver hypo in the crim section seems to …

Hey everyone - KTCOOLS seems to be in beta or something. I've been working through the Hypos and there are definitely some issues with scoring and some of the fact patterns are missing. Does anyone know the best way to contact Larry about these issu…

Tossup b/w NYU and Berkeley. Leaning towards Berkeley w/aid offer. Sending good vibes to all those 3x LSAT takers out there.

Ultimately you need to pick a system that works for you - there are a lot of variables to figure out how you want to represent so I cant really recommend a particular system.

Make the steps and layout of every game you do completely redundant. Same way of writing rules, same placement of game board, same placement for deductions and limited option game boards. Use strategist like checking off rules or double checking to …

Stop taking PTs! The same thing happened to me before my first administration. I took PTs every day the week leading up to the test and it didnt go well, ended up canceling.

Just to give you a heads up, I started with a 170+ goal and have never consistently hit that after 15 months of studying, and taking all modern tests (36 and up, including superprep and a few in the 20s). Im going into October fluctuating between mi…

Right understood. The strengthening question I am referencing I got wrong - so just wanted to flag this potential issue for others. Even though correlation alone is not good evidence for causation, it can strengthen a causal relationship presented i…

@Pacifico said: Things that don't imply causation/causality: 1) Correlation 2) Conditionality @Pacifico if i remember correctly, sometimes correlation is used in a strengthen question as an answer choice to strengthen a causal relationship.
-
Agreed, all because indicates causality
-
Cancel after the test counts. Believe me, you dont want to be on team 3x. Just push back if you're not ready yet.
-
@jimophtho glad it helped! The rattlesnake question is the very worst.
-
I had some success improving my strengthening and weakening questions by separating out the causation questions from others. Once I see a causal indicator in a stem I can get a pretty good pre-phrase of answers by thinking along these lines: Streng…
-
Agreed that first statement is logically equivalent to first and third. @jimophtho I think most negations are pretty straightforward using a logical opposite along the lines of "it is not the case that" with the exception of situations where you ne…

The logical opposite of can is cannot or as @nye8870 is saying, never.

@sarkisp23 what question are you referencing? It would certainly help my knowledge if you could share. Thanks!

Did not see this John Oliver piece, thanks for sharing. Another (former) public defender in the news: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/09/14/the-worst-of-the-worst

I have definitely had similar problems nailing down a good CR strategy. One way I have been practicing is on my blind review, I go write the number of each question next to the part of the passage the question, or correct answer, references. For exa…

For MSS, MSS is almost all careful reading - slow down reading the stimulus, try drilling these questions and force yourself to take a full minute on the stem For flaws, one easy way to start is memorizing your flaw types, as they frequently repea…

"Since" is a premise indicator (which functions a lot like "for", the conclusion can go on either side of the since/for clause). I would caution against trying to jam "since" or any other premise indicator into a conditional relationship. We don't…

I PTed every day leading up to the December 2014 test and ended up needing to cancel my score. I wouldnt recommend the everyday strategy as it can quickly cause burnout.
-
Here's the framework I use: Stimulus: A correlates with B, so A causes B (*Correlation implies causation*) Weaken: B causes A C causes A and B Relationship is a coincidence Strengthen: Rule out B causing A Rule out C causing A and B Rule out Re…

Another way to think about this question is the distinction between sufficient and necessary assumptions. A necessary assumption question, such as #19, asks us what assumption is required, or necessary, for the argument to obtain. A sufficient assu…

I got caught up in adding in an implied assumption, thanks

If you choose the incorrect answer on BR that means you need to go back and review that question - there is a good chance that either you are second-guessing yourself too much, or you may have an issue with the underlying content of the question.
-
One strategy I use is to read proactively. Lots of sections have a paragraph where they identify a whole bunch of small details right in a row: think movies or book examples cited in support of a thesis in a diversity/humanities passage, or the resu…

i struggle with a similar issue - im doing sessions slightly over 35 (started at 45) trying to get a perfect score, and stepping down the practice questions 1-2 minutes each couple section

I would agree to prioritize or at lease mix up the order you take tests in. If you start PTin at 1 and go up from there, you might not get to all the important tests. Try to choose a selection of tests given over the years with a focus on 30 or 36+,…

@alejoroarios said: I always feel a strong headache in the back of my head. I get this too - I think it's from posture and it feels the weirdest for me when I stand back up after taking the test. Sometimes I stretch during my breaks, but genera…
