  • I'd normally be really inclined to tell you to take the test based on where you're scoring (since, once you hit the low-mid 170s, I think there's a bit of luck to be taken into account for score variability, particularly in the RC section). But if y…
  • Uh oh. Sounds like nightmares. Maybe see the psychologist
  • Ultimate and Ultimate+ would give you access to JY's take on the comparative passages. If you don't want to upgrade, buy PT 82 for the discounted price... it's less than 6 bucks I believe. You'll get his take on the most recent comparative passage.
  • Depends. Are you dreaming about easy single layer sequencing with a splitter block rule or non-predefined grouping with sequential ordering and subgroups?
  • @"Alex Divine" said: I definitely agree that the RC is more LR-like on the newer tests. However, It's still very helpful to know where things are/the structure. But still, no where near as helpful as it used to be. Yeah, for sure. I still do…
  • I've woke up to ordering those toy dinosaurs on the shelf before. You're good brah
  • @taranjot said: can anyone confirm if all the explanations are up yet? Yes
  • @hchamz123 said: I figured the older LR and RC were easier so I wouldn't be exposing myself to the mental strain I would realistically be getting if I used older ones. I really agree with this. Old LRs aren't fully representative of what we'…
  • I'm still pushing it tbh. I'm doing a PT every other day rather than everyday... I was doing one PT a day for awhile and was making silly errors/not progressing; just giving myself one day of breaks in between has pretty much fixed that. Now wh…
  • I'd drill LG pretty hard to get the timing up. As you noted, those 6-7 points you're losing are the most obtainable for the December test. For RC, I'd advise against your current method of going a paragraph at a time then hitting the questions; I t…
  • https://lsathacks.com/explanations/lsat-69/logical-reasoning-1/q-19/ Your reasoning is spot on, until you got to the part where you thought it weakened the argument. Give Graeme's explanation a go!
  • @"surfy surf" said: Thank you all I really needed that. I'll... consider paying for the 7sage editor I hope you do! Even though the difference in cost is huge between personal edits and their $15 general admissions course, I'd say their pric…
  • Both, but with a different definition of foolproofing than the one commonly associated with it. I'd definitely expose myself to new games from different tests, even if you don't have time to do all those PTs in entirety (i.e. LR and RC). If you get…
  • That's rough @LSATcantwin. I think the beauty of your scenario though, since you've exhausted the latter half of PTs, is you can really spend time mulling over those curve breaker questions or any question you got wrong on any of them. I guess this …
  • Test day nerves a factor? Also, I think PT 82's LG was pretty easy compared to the average test... so if you're retaking this December, I'd drill LG as a top top priority!
  • @kimmy_m66 said: I draw arrows based on powerscore's classification system. If it's a MSS, I point an arrow down (the stimulus supports just one answer choice); if it's a strengthen, I point an arrow up (the one correct answer choice strengthe…
  • Definitely second above comment. Go ham on LG. You can study LG for longer periods without feeling the burnout because it's a different kind of thinking than, say, LR (less exhaustive, IMHO)... and it's definitely perfectible -- maybe not in two wee…
  • It took me about a month -- August. But I spent almost everyday working on it, full time. I had just finished defending my thesis and graduate assistant-ships (so it was the first time since I was a child that I was officially "jobless"). If I had b…
  • @jkatz1488 thanks so much for your post. Maybe I need to refresh my knowledge on a more intuitive level. Mechanically, I know we can't infer anything from the necessary onward. But, when not thinking in terms of sheer lawgic, that's a weakness of mi…
  • @"nicolas.saw" said: Unless I'm totally missing where "7Sage's section difficulty ranker out of 5" is for LR! That's exactly what's happening right now! Go to "Trends" then there's a "Section Performance" list that you can scroll down throug…
  • I mean you could always use 7Sage's section difficulty ranker out of 5 under LSAT Analytics. Sorry if you already knew about that... if you're looking for something better than that I'll doubt you'll find anything. I know LSAC released a public docu…
  • That GIF is so satisfying
  • I'll throw another tidbit in here. If you've noticed, the wording of flaw ACs tends to be more mumbo-jumbo-esque than other questions' ACs. I reckon LSAC does this because most people can see the flaw in the stimulus, so they use complicated wording…
  • I only do this for comparative passages. I'll skip straight to a question that deals with just one author and answer it first after reading the passage associated with it. Sometimes this will influence what passage I read first (e.g. B before A). Ot…
  • Evocation, disenchantment, inclinations, matriculate, exorcise, and penchant. All words used by @"David.Busis" in his personal statement. I use five dollar words in my vocab too, and my friends usually give me the stick for it... but they're not ap…
  • @"Daniel B" said: @FerdaFresh I'm not sure how to post actual pictures but these links are screen shots of my email conversation with them about the lsatmax watch. I guess if we all have these screenshots saved or printed the proctor c…
  • @"Daniel B" said: Update: I have received a response email from LSAC that the lsatmax watch is on the list for approved LSAT watches for test day Dec 2017. The list of approved watches includes: LSATmax PerfectScore Toptier Ca…
  • @akeegs92 said: @dfletch5 What in particular about them are you struggling with? Most Sagers would agree, it is more than just memorizing them, but understanding the relationship between the 2 items as well. This. "Memorizing" them by form i…
  • I've seen greater fluctuation myself so I wouldn't be too worried. Where you're scoring, at that point I think consistency can come from knowing when to skip. Check out Sami's response to this thread. I think it's a great thing to keep in mind, espe…
