OK ... I figured it out and managed to create a spreadsheet pretty quickly . My spreadsheet is a bit of a mess (there's a bit of discrepancy between the question bank section difficulties and the preptest analytics section difficulty). And, also…

I write the summary down on my scrap paper. I try to be as succinct as possible, which is hard at times (I find I'm in a hybrid low-res / high-res summary state right now, with a desire to write out more than I have time for!). I'm drilling to try …

Your LSAT is good for 5 years. So chances are, the schools will only look at you as being wonderfully thought out and well-prepared, taking the LSAT in advance of the fall application season. It might make you look better than someone who waits un…

'A' not only refers to average, but also weakens the conclusion. As the conclusion says that: exposure to germs in infancy makes people less likely to develop allergies. There's an underlying assumption that 'more kids = more germs' and 'less kids …

Thanks @Christopherr !! I've been trying to incorporate his notes this past week, trying to speed up my summary-making (since right now, they're not succinct at all!). I've read the Powerscore RC book and I like that he blends 7sage & PS a bit…

OMG, I'm having this same problem - especially with a swing in points missed. Ironically, for me, I seem to do better on the really hard passages, but even still not predictably. It's driving me nuts and I just keep drilling to speed up making summa…

'A' also rules out the assumption that workers (in general; and OK, it rules out that most) may eat a nutritious breakfast at home / outside of work, (which, if that assumption was true, would weaken the argument that is saying that it was THE BREAK…

Maybe while you're waiting for your application responses, you'd be better off reading prep books like: • Getting to Maybe, • 1L of a ride, • Turow's 1L (there's actually some helpful little terms/bits in there beyond the story) • Farnsworth's L…

And, well ... now imagine that you have A LOT of long hair that takes a very LONG time to dry ...

It's neither. It's a 'counter-premise' indicator, meaning that it introduces something that brings up a point of opposition. (an adversative) In the CC, we are introduced to the concept of 'although, but, and however', which divide the stimulus in…

I think the overall goal is to try to capture as many of the different 'types' of games as possible. I think the general thought is to FP PTs 1-35. Pacifico's post (listed above) was so informative ... although I only printed out one copy to reus…

When you say 4th round Yup, that's exactly it! when you started PT'ing, do you just set one day for FP logic games (and do nothing else?) When I first started, I ONLY FP'd - I stopped working PTs. Well, I started to try to do both, but I…

I made sure to do two FULL rounds of each game sub-type before moving on. Specifically as well to have two full rounds for each TYPE done before moving to the next type. It helped to form the inferences (and I'm hoping/thinking) to keep them in my m…
-
I foolproof by game type and I find it helps to really see the inferences more clearly, especially when doing a lot at a time, to see how different setups handle the same general type situation. I got to '0' pretty quickly. I started by working the …

I've improved A LOT recently by doing a mental recap of each paragraph (not writing it down). And then to do this again for each paragraph, but then tie each to their previous paragraph. And then, at the end, doing a little 'verbal' summary under my…
-
I've always wished for this also, especially to see if working problem sets is paying off to improve my performance on a question type v. waiting to run into that type again (and get it right or wrong) on the next PT. It would have been fun to see …

Also, P1, P2 & P3 are actually other peoples' arguments and not the author: OPA1A, OPA1B, OPA2 (a specific OP). • The old 'some people claim that' ... then 'they are mistaken' trick!!! And what you have as SC and MC is: MC and then P1 (the aut…

Also referred to as the error of Equivocation (a fallacy of ambiguity). [A definition in a premise is altered to better support the conclusion] ... And this one is so sneaky!! ... in the argument, by changing the meaning of the word, the premise(s…

Another vote for the Loophole book!! I read the Powerscore LR book (love it!), but really struggled with my 'receptive mindset' v. a critical mindset. I read the Loophole book after that book and it helped. (I think it helps to read it after PS, be…

@lexxx745 OK, that makes so much sense now, thanks for explaining!!
-
I agree with @noonawoon (who always^ (I know this is a strong conclusion, but I can't find a counter-example, so always^ ... certainly don't want to say 'mostly'! gah) offers excellent advice!). Also maybe consider looking at the Admission course's…
-
@lexxx745 Just curious, but, for your example, wouldn't the full subject be: "this dog" for which, all instances of "this dog" are black? D(t) → B ??? Which is correct to say. And that to tie back to all dogs is a distraction/irrelevant, since jus…

In the applications (accessed through LSAC), there's a place in the application (at the end, mostly) where you upload all of the documents. I think (I think I saw this with an application ... ??), that if you DON'T have a place to upload a specific…

'is' and 'are' are more like the arrow connecting the conditional relationship. So, yeah, you could think of it as a Group 2 (necessary) indicator, but it might be safer to think of it as just the arrow - since if you see it in a causal or non-condi…

• For D, the sufficient is the same: translating into, [if I'm a] (recent university grad) --> [then I] (consider salary important) [if I'm a] (recent university grad) --> [then I] (consider vacation policy important) • This is the valid ar…

This may or may not help, but the Powerscore LR bible explains some and most well and might be a worthwhile aid to help you understand from a different angle. And/or even the Loophole in LR has a chapter on it as well that might offer additional hel…

NO!! You're going to need to understand existential quantifiers before going into the logic games! Some and Most are important for those deductive inferences that games are testing (as are the universal quantifiers). I would spend the time on it NOW…

Did you do proportionately better with this 3rd score compared to your 1st and 2nd as you hope to do with your 4th score? Taking that often will make your application weaker, so I wouldn't take it a 4th time UNLESS you are sure you would score high …

I asked several schools this at the last Forum and they responded 'no' ... however, it really depends on the school, as one school mentioned their applications were up by 50% this cycle, so scholarship considerations might not happen that late. Real…

Also, as an FYI: be on the lookout that the recommended times on the bottom seem to be changing lately (???!). As I'm working through FP'ing, I wrote the recommended time to the side of my printed list and as I've gone through (and re-watched videos…
