It's much easier to grasp the fundamentals with easier sets of questions. The reason harder questions are harder is because they are much more abstract. While it may seems helpful to start with the difficult questions, you will likely not be able to…
First, there are a lot of things I don't know about you and how you study. So, let's make sure you are doing the following:
(1) You should be reviewing your PTs and sections.
(2) Does your studying only consist of PTs? If so, you will certainly ha…
I would always err on the side of caution. If you cover the same topic in both, you are missing a crucial opportunity to let the admissions committee know more about you. Maybe try to cover the same themes. Your personal statement can cover a genera…
I will be writing in October to grab a couple more points but overall feeling confident. I have doubts about certain questions/passages/games, but I make sure to remember that people tend to underestimate their performance. It’s why cancelling score…
I remained at -6 for months. It wasn't because I sucked at reading, I just wasn't properly exposing myself to actual passages except through PTs. This was the flawed advice of those online and Khan Academy, which told me that you can't improve your …
I would suggest taking a gap year in your case! This will allow you sufficient time to study and maximize your score (6 months at least) and you could increase or maintain your GPA -- assuming you are in undergrad.
If your parents are strict, show …
Hey, according to their podcast, you are supposed to only do a few of the problem sets each time and move on to the next part of the core curriculum. When you finish the entire curriculum, or notice yourself continuing to have particular difficulty …
@"galactic law" While I agree with your sentiment of refocusing my attention to application materials and preparation, this research honestly took very little time. Most of it was gathered through my passive listening of podcasts at work, if anythin…
Hey! I would love to help you but I believe the problem you cited may be a different question. The one listed in the title of the discussion is a parallel reasoning question.
From what I have heard, it might depend. Does the school limit how many additional essays you can have outside of the personal statement? If so, you might want to weigh which additional essay could be more impactful and meaningful. If they do not, y…

I have managed to get down to -2 relatively frequently and -1 a single time, so not -- quite -- perfection. I would note, however, that to achieve perfection is never done through aiming for it. Just make sure you are studying the underlying princip…

Either works... you could also call it a parallel type question. I think its important to recognize that question "types" are our constructs. We apply them to the content because they work most of the time. The test writers ar…

Deeper written review with a focus on performance factors as opposed to content. Focus on active reading/translation of everything you read on the test. Also finish foolproofing LG.
Hi, thank you for your response! Quick que…

I'm in the low 160s so I can be totally not qualified to answer your question lol, but yeah, I kind of hit a wall too before. My recommendation for LG is to get the simple sequence and basic ordering games to -0 because the later…
If I remember correctly from one of the podcast episodes, he said that it was never intended for students to complete all of the problem sets when initially going through the CC. Rather, to come back and refresh oneself with those remaining problem …
In my experience, it can vary considerably. I have done LR sections that have had 5-6 5 star questions. For others, there were no 5 star questions.
In terms of the CC, if you are talking about the problem sets, they go in order of difficulty. Accor…
I have been taking the 4-section version to simulate the real test. If you want to simulate the August test to perfection, I would do the 3-section flex option and add in a problem set of a full random section. I have noticed that many tests have LR…
The way JY teaches this is to first understand what the logical opposite of must be true is, which is NOT must be true. So, the correct answer choice could be false. Once you understand that, just eliminate everything that must be true and you will …

It sounds like you are exhausted and burned out. I can attest because I have been there. While my understanding of the test had grown, my scores would dip simply because I was tired and exhausted.

First, make sure that you assess if law school is actually what you want to do and not something implicitly forced onto you because society deems lawyers as more valuable than other professions. If it is something that you truly enjoy and could see …
I agree with @Tennysoj , it doesn't seem like there is a practical application for something like this.
I think your best bet here is to sacrifice a couple of PTs to only use their sections in opposition to taking the whole thing at once. Then, you…

I don't believe it's a good idea to be involving numbers in your problem solving method. Time is a luxury, and any kind of setup like this that will increase the mental load of thinking about the problem will serve only to slo…

For this question, we are trying to figure out why the crimes reported to local police departments give the impression of a rise in crime, while the independent surveys give an impression that crime has decreased. T…
I had the same issue for a very long time. I went from regularly doing -8, simply because I was spending too much time on initial questions, to -2 consistently. I had all of the basics down and became extremely frustrated that I could understand eve…
First, I would suggest limiting those PTs to two per week. You really want to squeeze all the juice out of a PT before moving on to the next one. What I have found to be very effective is doing sections throughout the week and reviewing those meticu…
