Hi @"Juliet - 7Sage" What happens to our data once a monthly subscription ends? Could we have a monthly account, allow the subscription to lapse, and resubscribe a few weeks later and still see our same data when we reactivate?
-
If you are losing understanding while you read the stimulus, you should not continue with this method. Your goal is to earn points on the test. The best tactic to use right now is the one that will get you the point on the SA question. At the very …

@oychoi79 & @cklomoooooo Yes, I did mean to ask whether it was common/acceptable to attack the relationship between premise and sub-conclusion. Both of your responses were very helpful. Thank you!
-
@WickedLost Perhaps the questions you're looking at fall under a third method of reasoning category? There are three main ones on this test: conditional reasoning, causal reasoning, and comparative reasoning.

yaaaaaaaas

@"Burden.of.Floof" ooh, I only saw one of those two flaws so you're ahead of the game. 😊 But I think if you make up an example of an appeal to ignorance ("I don't believe other people's claim about A, so they're wrong"), the same mistaken negation …

This is how I understand NA questions conceptually. Imagine the argument as a Jenga tower you're trying to build. Each premise is a layer you put down, so you build the tower up and up. In this way, you build an argument up and up as you provide mo…

Oh yeah, totally. Save your 70s and 80s for when you're getting close to a real test date.
-
70s and 80s are definitely more recent. I also consider 52 and up "modern" LSATs because they have comparative passages, so I'd use those for full PTs. Anything below 52 I'd categorize as older (but still highly valuable) drilling material.
-
I think the target times are there to give you a general idea of the timeframe to solve the problem in. Every test-taker is different/has different levels of understanding, so I think it's ok not to hit the target times. I'd think of them as suggest…

Keep going. Your score is the last place you will see improvement, especially in such a short time frame. While it is important & the ultimate goal of our studying, a score increase is only one way to measure progress. Are you getting correct an…

I love the Powerscore LR Bible, along with LSAT Trainer and 7Sage. I agree with the person above; you should finish a book/course before moving on to another. It's just helpful to hear all this same information presented in different ways. My study …

Happy to help!
-
Yes, I second what @"Glutton for the LSAT" has said with you having mixed up what you can/cannot do. I also wanted to add that I recently read something on this relationship that really helped nail down the inferences you are able to draw validly wi…
-
Congrats! Would love to hear how long did you work through your plateau and what helped you get past it?
-
Congratulations & thanks for the inspiration!
-
Oh yes, the analytics are great. Definitely do PTs online. But actually this convo inspired me to do some drills on paper (I have a couple of the Ten Actuals books) because I don't need data on my practice drills. 😊 Happy studying!
-
Spend a week or so doing them on paper if that helps you learn better. It would be a good idea to switch to online (or do a hybrid of paper & online) at some point because being able to read text on screen for hours is an unmentioned skill in it…
-
@Juliet-- thanks!
-
@"Theo --" Would it also be possible to select multiple problem sets to delete on the "Show Existing Problem Set" page (similar to how questions are selected to create problem sets) instead of having to open each problem set to do so? Sometimes I ju…

rewards your ability to weed through a pile of sh!t and narrow it down to the least pile of sh!t My sentiments on this test exactly 😂
-
Bumping this thread for anyone who's looking for RC help. @Constantine has been a fantastic resource & just wanted to vouch for him and his method. I have a literature background, so RC was a fairly ok section for me but my scores would fluctua…
-
Lol, @"Burden.of.Floof" @"Jordan Johnson" noooo we spent too much time on this!! Validity means premises correctly lead to conclusion. (Premises are true, but not necessarily factually true irl). Soundness means argument is valid and premises are…
-
Yes, I do this too. I don't think it matters, as long as you are consistent in how you approach the AC and are not jumping of order randomly from E to C to B to D, or some other combo, because that's an easy way to get yourself confused.
-
@BigJay20 why not try something in the middle, like 2-3 days? Give your brain a chance to rest but in a short enough time frame that you won't forget/lose skills.
-
Nice! I just used the regular yellow Ticonderogas but did not save mine
-
It means that while you're re-doing/fool-proofing a logic game, you want to make all the inferences without needing to consult your notes or JY's video. Once the inference(s) for that game are committed to your memory, you will be able to call on th…
-
It's possible but also depends on how much you want that 172+. The best way to ensure success is to deserve it. Will sporadic studying over 1-2 years get you there? My point is you can't expect to "put in the hours" for this test by clicking around…
-
Yup, just want to echo everyone's statements that LG is the easiest section to improve if you're not already scoring -0 there. I read on another LSAT forum that questions heavy on conditional reasoning are easiest to tackle in a short time frame. Y…

"But" indicates a change in direction of the argument. I don't think it functions as a logical indicator.
