Like a few others, I haven't read all of the comments, but I'll add my two cents anyway. Without any disrespect aimed at 7Sage or any other paid test prep company, I don't think there's a huge difference between free resources and paid resources fo…

@akistotle said: The word "laudable" appears in PT46.3.16 as well. I have my list of LSAT vocabulary, but if I post it here, everyone would be like, "omg....you should go back to high school....you shouldn't be taking the LSAT...." Than…

Is there any data on the frequency/pattern of experimental sections? I'm hoping for LG, will be content with LR, and as absolutely dreading the possibility of two RC sections. I'd be shocked if there wasn't a tangible performance drop in tests wher…

Hi guys, I need some help with this one in a different regard than what's already been discussed. I picked A, and I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the logic involved with arriving at B. The first group of people thinks that officials sho…

I think a helpful thing to keep in mind is that the only thing unorthodox about certain logic games is the way that entities can interact. The logic that dictates how they interact in particular scenarios never changes. Upon that you can guide your…

Not sure about JY as well, but the LSAT Trainer does a pretty good job at boiling down the LR question types to the things you do differently in approaching them. In fact, there's an exercise in the LSAT trainer where you have to have to sort all o…

Awesome resource, @sayhey180! I love that so many people here go the extra mile to share their wisdom and labors with each other. Out of curiosity, how do you guys use these cards to study? While I love using flashcards for vocabulary, alarm bells …

Hi, @plantbaseddiya I'm only speculating here as @10000019 did, but I am a private ACT/SAT/AP tutor, and I'll share my thoughts based on what I know from my own students studying after approval of accommodation. Overall, I think it depends on the s…

I for one have complete, unbridled faith in our fearless leader. Shame on the dissenters. :P

I feel like you have to decide which part of the conclusion is more essential, the subject or the condition. Take the example "If it's a labrador then it's fur is completely brown" We have the options: A: "No labrador has ever had any amount of b…

@LSATcantwin said: I didn't really fully answer what you asked. So we see by my first comment that AC: A does have some baring on the conclusion of the argument. It's creates the possibility that a CBD has no lithium. Now for AC: B …

@uhinberg said: If any CBDs had ever been hot enough to destroy lithium, you could not conclude that any star that has lithium is not a CBD -- perhaps it is a CBD but had been hot enough at one point to destroy all lithium. So it sounds like i…

Everything Alex said is great! Additionally, I'd say to simply keep in mind that with time, the LSAT will become more comfortable, and eventually feel so routine that you don't even think about the fact that you're doing a PT. Also make sure you've…

I'm right with you; I've done every LG released, and it's hard to test myself since my brain can cheat ahead to the right answers, or at least the key inferences that I may have had to contemplate a bit otherwise. I recall the LSAT Trainer having a…

How are we supposed to know in this case that A is "good enough" By saying "drivers....should be sent to jail," the statement is interpreted as /all/ "drivers....should be sent to jail," when the passage clearly states that it's "/almost/ impossibl…

To my knowledge, the LSAT and Law School admissions in general are more rigid than most other programs, especially undergraduate admissions. I like that the LSAT is something you can work hard at and do well on no matter where you're starting. I li…

Wouldn't eliminating A require the assumption that a change in speed limit has any effect on traffic fatalities (and particularly an effect that makes them go up?) Conventional anecdotes may suggest that faster is more dangerous, but science doesn'…
-
Are there any resources that describe situations in which people have the numbers but still don't get in? It would be nice to hear testimonies, or reflections from admissions officer detailing why somebody with 75% GPA and LSAT didn't get in.

I've had similarly poor experiences with Panera. I'm a tea snob so I don't go to Starbucks much, but I can certainly see similar problems occurring. Getting creative with your venues could help; there are a lot of quiet places with free wifi that p…

I participated in the kaplan online program through a program at my school that allowed me to enroll without paying on my end. I think the course works for people who aren't self-motivated and are looking to bring their scores up to the 150 range. …

I'm not familiar with the precedence for announcing/implementing changes, but I can't imagine that they would make the digital LSAT default/mandatory without at least a year or two of advanced notice, or simultaneous offering. Lots of people begin t…

I appreciate the responses @akistotle and @Sami ! It's a lot more clear now why D is not correct. However, I'm still a little bit shaky on why A is correct. In creating a logical connection to the premise, we need to validate that the premise has …

I think foolproofing Logic Games and generously skipping on LR makes a 160 reasonable for anyone. Missing 26 questions gives you the freedom to miss every single difficult question in LR (18 questions between both sections based on this data https:/…

I think the 2% thing is silly; this doesn't have any tough inferences, just a lot of simple ones. It takes some time to keep going through the list, but there aren't any complex rules here. Nonetheless, this was entertaining! You guys should check …

As a minor update, I've tested a bunch of erasers as well! Far and away, the best erasers I tested were the Sakura Foam Arch, and the Uni Boxy. These imported models erase quickly and cleanly, even on LSAT-style "tissue paper." I recommend bringing…

@"Alex Divine" All of that sounds very good, thank you so much! I found a copy of LSAT Trainer for $7 on eBay, so I'll be working on that shortly! Is there a reason why it's better to drill 1-35 even though the more recent iterations are more refl…
-
@"Alex Divine" Thanks for the feedback! I do indeed mean that I've completed all 80 released LGs over the past three and a half weeks (320 games total.) At this point I'm only really missing questions if I misread or improperly diagram something, t…

I have trouble with this too. My strategy is usually to actually put the bubble sheet on my questions, and slide the sheet down so it's right next to the answer I'm filling in. The proximity makes it harder to make silly mistakes, and it may also s…
