Obviously I’m not in law school yet, but, I have found it extremely extremely helpful to have knowledge of law concepts for RC passages. Also, I’m a philosophy major and my profs recommend something similar. Yet, if I didn’t study on my own and lear…
It took me a solid six months of studying 2-3 hours a day to see improvement in LR. It’s been the hardest section for me so you could see some improvement quicker
If you want to practice LSAT reading skills with material that is much more difficult than what is on the LSAT I'd recommend reading "Explaining Postmodernism" by Stephan Hicks and "Fools, Frauds, and Firebrands" by Roger Scruton. Grab a notebook an…

My uncle went to an Ivy League school, and struggled immensely with the LSAT. It took him 3 years to get in.
In law school, he was at the top of his class. He was recruited by law firms in Boston &…
Philosophy major here
I've taken intro to logic, intermediate logic, and now an independent study in sentential and predicate logic. They haven't helped me very much LSAT-wise. The translations will be slightly different, you'll need quantifiers to…
There are multiple definitions for each depending on which field of study you find yourself in. Philosophically speaking an assumption would be something made in the reasoning argument itself. A presumption is something you make before the argument …
When all is said and done it will have taken me about 2 years. Granted I started last October as a sophomore in college, but don’t worry about it just go at your own pace
If you don't mind me asking, what was your undergrad GPA and major(s)? And did you do any sort of reading or philosophical studying prior to taking the LSAT?
Personally I do the same and I'm also a double major and D1 athlete. LSAT and undergrad have basically become my life and I've just accepted it. I haven't really felt any burnout in three months and I'm not quite sure it exists (for me). For some pe…
Powerscore sucks, don't use them. I read 80 pages of their LR book and threw it in the trash. Why you ask? Because they use weird tricks instead of teaching the basic underlying logic, and I hated their explanation of MP and Weakening questions.

Another recommendation, watch the "Flaw Intensive" webinar under the Resources tab. Jimmy does a great job of capturing the common flaws on the LSAT and uses examples as well.
Thank you for all the advice
Personally, I hate the LR Bible. JY does a much better job teaching logic, causation, and pretty much like EVERYTHING. The main problem I have though is that I do not like how Powerscore classified wrong answer choices and also how “gimmicky” some o…
To be honest I’m a little worried about the digital version. Here’s why...
Going through the CC I’ve noticed that actually having the physical questions in front of me is super helpful, as it allows me to circle key words in the stimulus and AC whi…

3. No, conditional logic alone is not sufficient to solve all MBT questions. A MBT answer choice can also come from: one single detail in passing or an answer choice that functions like a main conclusion/general summatio…

Does the LSAC count high school AP class grades, even if your university does not? Just wondering because my uni has my AP credits not counting toward my undergrad GPA.
