I'm also going into Criminal Defense, got some acceptances from T14 schools this cycle but am seriously considering taking up full-ride offers from my local universities. If you're not going into Big Law then the T14 is definitely not necessary. Cri…
Just retake old ones. It'll be a great test for you to see if you ingrained the lessons learned from taking them the first time around. Your score will obviously be inflated on these retakes so don't use that as an indicator of progress, but that sh…
Nah you can't. Even if you could, you don't want to. The amount of time you would waste looking up a word would counter any benefit gained from a clearer understanding that you could get from context. The LSAT is written that way specifically so tha…
"the only thing you need for A is B"
A --> B
You NEED B to have A, B therefore is necessary
"the only way to have C is through D"
C --> D
You NEED D if you're going to have C, D is therefore necessary.
Those who argue the inverse above a…
That could be a correct answer. It depends on the remaining 4 choices and what they are. MSS questions require us to make assumptions, so being able to assume a conditional relationship between Wednesday and eating pies will depend on how supported …
Yea on the proctoru homepage it specifies ios and android os tablets are not supported. So long as you switched out safe mode for windows home on your surface go it should be good.
Are you sure that the issue is with reading speed? How long do you find yourself taking to answer each question? I ask because reading slower may actually be a strength and not a weakness. I too read slow and reread sentences I don't understand, and…
An NA is something that has to be true for the conclusion to follow from the premises. SA is anything that allows the conclusion to follow from the premises. A NA is a lot more stringent, an answer choice could be so strong in an NA that it is no lo…
I skip the ones I know I will find most boring. This is almost always art. As soon as you start telling me about the expressionists or Rembrandt, you're losing me. I'd rather read about fish hatcheries. It gives motivation to push through it by maki…
I generally highlight one word per sentence. A word that encapsulates well what the sentence was about. I will never highlight whole sentences or clauses unless it's the thesis, if there is one. I differentiate colors for different viewpoints and a…
SAs are nice because the the test writers have 'shown their cards' so to speak in what they are looking for in a credited answer. Because in asking for a sufficient assumption, it is revealed that there is a blatant insufficiency somewhere in the ar…
I do as you described. The rationale being that you are more likely to find the correct answer with questions in the beginning than toward the end, because the general trend is that the questions do get more difficult as you get further in, despite …
We are told that LG is the easiest section to improve on. This was definitely not the case for me. LG was also the section that had held me back constantly and it took me the longest to improve on. That warm feeling that you described, described me …
Definitely an essential tactic for high scores on LR. I would also qualify for those starting to take LR more aggressively, be wary of thinking more aggressive means 'I gotta read faster.' This is where you will definitely lose points on easy questi…
Yes they are two separate sufficient conditions for the same necessary. If (cat) and (cute) and (furry) then (eats dogs). If (cat) and (bald) and (ugly) then (eats dogs). If (not eat dogs) then (not cat) or (not cute) or (not furry) and (not cat) or…
I would only refrain from highlighting blocks of text, with the exception of the main point. Instead highlight reference words, as sort of visual checkpoints you can use if you ever need to return to something briefly and therefore know where it wil…
A tip I'd add is people should consider Occam's Razor for the harder LR questions when they are stumped. Often we are told throughout our test prep is that our bringing assumptions into the argument should be avoided and answer choices that require …
If you find that the questions you're getting wrong, are ones you get right on BR, it might be a matter of timing strategy. Do you have a system you use to skip around?
The author is trying to advance an argument with the conclusion that the journal should run an article in order to mitigate risk and harm caused by people doing in-home renovation in a lead paint environment. (C) gives rise to a situation where now …
If it rains tomorrow, it will be cloudy tomorrow. But I know for certain that it will not rain tomorrow. therefore it will not be cloudy tomorrow.
Symbolizing this flaw looks like this:
RT -> CT
RT(not)

All the reasons given above are good reasons to not do this. Another reason is, although rare (such as the infamous water bug passage), some passages are not argumentative but descriptive. In these cases you'll want to pick the MP that 'checks the m…
A NA is something that must always be true if the conclusion of the argument is to be true in relation with the supporting premises (in other words if the argument is to be valid). So take the premises given, add to that the answer choice of a NA, a…
