Just keep in mind if you do your BR like the above two posters then you're missing out on assessing your confidence levels for a given question. You want to get to a point where you have an idea of what you will get right and wrong and by only revie…
I don't even worry about connecting any dots on Necessary assumption. It's not like Sufficient assumption where you have to be active in finding a gap. There was a post on here recently where many agreed that anticipating an answer choice is not alw…
Just play around with the sentence to determine the meaning. Ask yourself, what is required to create conditions of EJ? ROW is required. Or just rearrange the sentence. "In order to create conditions of EJ, ROW is required." EJ --> ROW.
I usually find that Strengthening questions involve blocking potential weakening assumptions, similar to how Weakening questions involve exposing assumptions. It doesn't involve conditional logic as much as PSA and SA which are more about validity.
I find that argument types, like correlation-causation, is a subset of trying to support or weaken an argument. I didn't include other argument types (like "if...then" conditional reasoning) because I consider them secondary, or rather, a means to t…
Same here. Its helped me to completely disregard the amount of time it takes and just go off of my natural pace, however long it takes me to answer a question. This doesn't mean I lounge around when I answer; I'm still focused and determined to answ…
@Mo Zubair Sounds like Weakening and Necessary Assumption questions where there are like a hundred potential errors and assumptions an argument can make, and it's difficult to anticipate which one the LSAT will choose. But at least for Flaw and Nece…
The practice of picking apart every answer choice enables you to gain that intuition where you know the correct answer choice before you even read it. It's not so much a strategy as it is a practice you've consistently applied to the point of master…
Going through all the problem sets and being 100% confident sounds like the ideal. If you're benefitting from them that much then I don't see a reason why you should save them for the end. If you notice it's taking a ridiculously inordinate amount o…
Are you trying to punch in and out 8 hours like some job or are you trying to learn the lesson? You said it yourself, you're learning so much from each and every problem set and lesson. That sounds like solid assurance that you're studying correctly…
I've been employed at least part time since I began studying and going full time since graduation has only put additional strain. What was supposed to be one year off turned out to be two years entirely because I tried to do both. At least for me, i…

And LSAC thanks you for all your charitable contributions. You should be on their donor list or something.
Just keep in mind people regularly revisit the curriculum throughout the course of their studies and that you don't have to complete all problem sets for each question type. Some take as many as they need to get comfortable and then return to the se…
This should be PT12.S4.Q22 not "PT11.S4.Q22."
You understand how answer choice (C) resolves the paradox, but you're saying it's not a perfect explanation. But, I don't think it has to sufficiently (completely) resolve the paradox since the question…
I look for productive ways to be distracted. Sometimes we need that complete escape from the LSAT to avoid burnout so might as well do something stimulating in the meantime. You'd be surprised how energized you will feel coming back to studying afte…
This is a broad question, but I think of it in terms that a conditional statement relies on validity and deductive reasoning (think mathematics) while a causal relationship often relies on empirical and inductive (think science and the phenomenon-hy…
Since the blind review process is so crucial to improvement, mind if I ask how your process was? Like how long it would take you to blind review and then subsequently watch the video explanations, etc. Any peculiar or unique insights you gained woul…
Grasp the structure of the argument and then make analogous arguments. If you know the structure then you can coat it in different colors, which is essentially how the test makers get away with making "new" tests. Relating the central concept to com…
What's the basis of thinking it will be harder to get in if the school evaluates your application in March as opposed to now in January? I'm sure it depends on your school so I'd do more research into that. Otherwise, it comes down to whether you th…
Asked these two questions last time but could not attend. Would appreciate another response.
In terms of waitlist etiquette, is it proper to send an email to the dean of admissions and all the admissions staff? Would calling or sending a letter be …
