I know the general consensus on here is to FP games 1-35. I'm in the middle of that and I'll just say that the games are much more different than they are now, to the point where I question their usefulness.
I did the CC and just took …
Man you need to read Orwell's politics and the english language.
That being said, if your goal is to do public sector work then it's not absolutely necessary for you to go to a Top 14. It still helps though, especially when considering the prestige…

Forsure doable. If you can get LG to -2, while maintaining averages in your other sections, you're looking at a ~161.
LG is the one section where effort put in = consistent and demonstrable gains. If you spend a month drilling LGs and seriously foo…
I'll start.
Last week, I began studying for the January LSAT. I did half a PT, LR & LG, and blind reviewed + foolproof'ed. In addition, I started drilling LR types I'm weak at, namely, argument part and method of reasoning (didn't give it enoug…
You need to go back to the core curriculum. When there's a "no" statement like this, you "Negate-Necessary."
Here's our phrase: "no tax package that would greatly inconvenience parents (TPIP) will be adopted (A) this year."
What does this mean? We…
Thanks for the congratulations and for the comment! Congrats to you as well, 166 is awesome.
I like your idea of identifying questions I've gotten wrong and drilling them. I haven't really incorporated this into my studies, but it makes sense. Cons…
Hey. This may not be what you're looking for, but in my experience, foolproofing one logic games section takes roughly three hours. It can be draining to do more than one a day, but if you're able to do them every day over Christmas break, you will …
From my own experience, it seems like PT80+ LR hinges on more subtle logical errors. For example, there might be two flaws in a Flaw Question, and your job is to keep track of what the primary flaw at issue is (and a trap answer will address the min…
I do it like this:
Easy Games: 3x in a row right after the video
Medium Games: 5x in a row right after the video
Hard Games: 10x in a row right after the video
After I foolproof the game and can do it from memory, I print out a fresh copy of th…
The big assumption here is that the author is assuming that finding identical results in both groups is sufficient to determine that the medicine was ineffective. However, as Can’t Get Right said, the composition of the two groups could be flawed in…
You don’t need to not use your eraser, etc. As you do LG, though, you’ll find that penciling out old work is more time efficient than erasing. Also, I find that erasing work gets confusing because the old work is still somewhat visible. Insofar as L…
Thanks for the update! I think it'll be an older Feb test that was undisclosed, which is why they won't disclose it for us (so they can keep using it in the future). If it were some version of this November exam, it seems likely that they'd let us s…
It sounds trite, but the best way to tackle MISC games is by thinking really hard and truly understanding how the game operates. Once you understand the game (what's happening in it, what the rules are), you can put together your own unique gameboar…
Second what Cant Get Right said. UVA and Berkeley are both fantastic schools, but the vibes in the Bay Area and the vibes in Charlottesville are way different. You're going to want to visit both to see where you might enjoy attending more. As an asi…
I would Foolproof games by type first. Go through the problem sets in order on the CC and foolproof. Then, move on to foolproofing PT 1-35.
It all has to do with your timeline, really. If you have plenty of time, do what I suggested above. If you'r…
That helps a bunch! Thanks. I took a course, but did a bunch of self-study in addition to the course (foolproof'ed LGs from 67-81, currently working on LGs 1-30). You?
My test got cancelled as well. Wondering when they'll tell us we're taking it. Doesn't seem likely for this weekend given that many people may have Thanksgiving plans
My test got cancelled today too. Wonder what’ll happen... if they reschedule in two weeks due to Thanksgiving, we’ll get our scores in 5 weeks, which leaves just 5 more weeks until the January test.
It’s a phase you’ll overcome with enough practice. As you foolproof games, you’ll inevitably run into games from PT70+, and a good deal of those have random games. The initial shock factor wears off and, after foolproofing them, you realize that you…
Actually, I figured it out. This is an Experiment to reach a General Conclusion flaw. Essentially, the author is concluding something definitive (that tv has no impact on cereal preferences) from the results of an experiment.
Of course, in making t…
I'm taking two rest days (Monday & Friday), doing a PT on Wednesday to work on timing (but I'm going to shred the test before grading), then do some assorted drilling until Saturday. Books away by 5pm each night.

Be kind to yourself. You deserve it.
While all your advise was very timely and appreciated, I love your 4th and final point. I feel that I forget to do this, so thanks for the gentle reminde…
I definitely know how you feel. The burnout in these last two weeks is real, and having the LSAT be a constant presence in your home/not having people to talk to about it can really take a toll. Here's my advice, in list fashion!
Take a day off. I…
