I think another way to zoom in on flaw questions even if you feel like you have maybe missed it in the first read is remember “the reasoning is faulty and the jump from the premise to conclusion has a flaw.” I’ve used this many times to cope with a …

Let's look at the original statement first: "Only cats meow." Do Dogs meow? No. Do cows meow? No. Only cats meow.
Ok, so then we know if an animal is meows, it must be a cat. Hence, the translation rule:
M --> C …
Foolproofing works. I’m doing it right now. But, it is a lot of work. I wouldn’t give yourself such a hard deadline to do the 1-35 LGs. From my experience, I can see that leading to burnout—as your post already seems to show.
I think, if one is to …

It's the trend that since the pandemic began and the LSAT was moved online, LSAT scores have risen, especially on the higher end. Many people attribute this to people having more time to study (especially last year when eve…
It may be different for people, but, for me, what calmed my anxiety is to breathe, remind yourself that you are not the test, and treating the test like a lifestyle/video game.
The moment I shifted my attitude about the test from “This is the bigge…
Haha so true. I feel like the past couple years there has been a lack of consistency with LSAC administering the test. I yearn for some more consistency in their administering for 2022. Hopefully, that becomes reality for us test takers. I believe t…
If it were to be in-person, would it be on tablets like they had in 2019 when they first introduced the digital LSAT? Because that was terrible! I would rather take test on computer and/or paper before the tablet again.
Always remember, your score is not you. Be kind to yourself on the hours of preparation you put into the test. If the score is not what you planned, you can retake with some more prep. If you can't retake, well you still prepared and that is what co…
Blind review and writing out explanations. But, while writing explanations, meticulously analyzing the questions what makes them right and wrong. I think this is most important in the RC section even more so than LR and LG.
Hello, good question.
I suggest foolproofing the games 1-35 PTs timed first to get in the habit of doing them under timed conditions. If you are already doing this, then practice more and maybe move to foolproofing entire sections.
From my experie…

There's a similar approach mentioned by BurtReynolds on the recent 7Sage podcast (I listen to these on SoundCloud): Preview games 1 and 2, size them up and take on the easier one first to build confidence, and then do the same …
That’s an good approach too i presume. I’m not taking in November—not PTing at my goal score yet.
But, I wish you best of luck in your studies as well!
I wish you best of luck in your studies! I am also in similar boat. My goal is to get my sections down to roughly -3 on each section, not going for perfect either
You’re welcome! I’m glad I could help. Then I would try to prioritize RC during the day, as in studying it first before your other sections and also maybe doing an intensive studying program for a couple weeks of only RC if you find that helps.
But…
Agree with above. But, it also depends on how far you are in your prep. What are you scores per section, on average? What are you goal scores per section?
If there is a wild discrepancy in a certain section compared to the other two, like -4 LR, -7…
