Testing faster is a combination of 1) mastering the fundamentals and 2) skipping questions fast. I think people generally are aware of the importance of 1) but tend to underestimate the importance of 2). Of course skipping is important when it …

I got decimated on PT 81 so definitely not an easier test haha. great job!

Totally agree with @carolG_law - I just go into LR thinking that there will at least be 1-2 problems that I will be unable to solve both TIMED and BR. I'm never aiming to get everything right; I actually go into the section thinking that i'm going t…

I actually don't think your scores are that inconsistent - it seems like you're at a high 160s range. the 173 and the 163-4 definitely balance each other out. I think if you go into the October Flex with the mindset that your true skill is at a high…

second @sheridjw - i think learning "lawgic" is not so much an improvement in your reading comprehension but much more so an improvement in reducing the time you spend on a question. If you didn't know how to chain conditionals and you see a barrage…

Perfect! That's what I thought too, but I somehow found myself second-guessing haha. thanks for the reaffirmation.

I always visualize when I do RC and LR. I don't think visualization is necessary for LG because you're doing all that on a scratch paper. I'm not sure if it's to my "benefit" per se, but I do think that's just how I comprehend passages, being a pre…

I've tried this once in which I took a break from LSAT for about 3-4 days too, and my score dropped significantly, especially in LR. Usually went -4 to -6 on LR, but after the break, I think I went like -10 on one section lol. Of course it's to eac…

I pretty much have the explanation video and my blind review document turned on side by side when I'm reviewing. Before I click on the explanation video, I go through and BR the question on my own and confirm my answers (both the one I think is righ…

thank you both for your input!!

I just had a session with @lexxx745 and he definitely whipped me into shape. Similar to him, I've been studying for the LSAT full-time for about 4.5 months now, and I was at a point where I feel like I know all the curriculum material and the differ…

Also curious about this!

all good points, thank you for the clarification and best of luck to everybody

Hello, just wanted to ask a quick question regarding this - since LSAT flex doesn't count towards our number of times taking the test, wouldn't it be okay to take the July test regardless of whether you are prepared or not?
-
@nelliottsmith Thank you for this! super clutch. Just to clarify why it's circular reasoning - C: Cotrell is, at best, able to write magazine articles of average quality. P: "...since Cotrell, who is incapable of writing an article that is bette…

I think we can conditionally diagram this. 1) single political party ------most-------> corrupt national gov. 2) plurality of parties corrupt national gov. 3) corrupt national gov ---------------> weakness of local gov. These are all th…

Thank you for all the answers - and yeah, I've been thinking the same too haha. I see so many of those choices as one of the answer choices but don't think I can recall seeing an actual stimulus where the correct flaw is circular reasoning.

I guess the LSAT Flex doesn't count towards your number of counts so wouldn't it not hurt too much if you just went ahead and took it anyway, even if there's a chance that you don't do well?

D is correct because the premise which supports the conclusion is that: (Only showing one side of the premise and the conclusion, excluding the saving lives part) P: slower car --> more time on the road --> more exhaust spewed C: Reducing…

@Andrew_Neiman agreed! thank you @taschasp for your help! Also, I have to say I'm a big fan of whiplash too @Andrew_Neiman

thank you for your help!

If we translate the question stem to a set of conditionals, it will look like: "if a democracy functions well, then the electorate is moral and intelligent." or DFW --> M and I. The contrapositive of this is (using DeMorgan's Law) : not M or…

Hey @shannon_beaman1 , I certainly share your sentiment of feeling stressed and confused. This whole quarantine/covid-19 situation put everything up in the air, and it's difficult to focus on a test that requires 120% of your brain power. I'm a litt…

Hello, to add some of my two cents on the strengthening/weakening question on top of the already solid advice given by the other contributors - 1) I always underline the conclusion (the point) first before I read the rest of the stimulus and use t…

Thanks @"Logical Breezoning" for your suggestion! I haven't really drilled LR questions by their type (been doing PT sets), so I'll definitely give that a go. Do you know where I could find a list of LR questions sectioned off by their types? Thank…
-
I have a reverse problem as you... I usually go -1 or -2 on RC but go roughly -9 on LR. Would love to hear how you were able to improve on your LR! For me, I think I tried to stick by a few things when I'm doing RC. This is just my personal method,…

Hello, I can try tackling your questions! I think a key phrase to consider here in question choice A is "tend to" that comes right before "ignore". "tend to ignore" and "fail to consider" both signal an gap in the environmentalists' logic, and th…
