  • @_kizilbash howdy! Look for the missing assumption in applicable question types and try to fill the gap. Be really familiar with the common flaw types. Make sure you have those memorized. Your logic should be up to par as well, especially for SA que…
  • @akistotle said: I don't think there should be a clear line between these two types since causation/correlation describe hypothesis/phenomenon. Thank you, @akistotle! This is exactly what I was looking for! This makes sense. I’m headed to …
  • @keets993 thank you! I’ve seen it a few times. Not sure why the lines have blurred for me.
  • @"Trust But Verify" thank you! Any tips on how to tell the difference between the two? Lately they’re both looking the same to me.
  • @LCMama2017 oh well. Don’t let it discourage you. I think we’ve all read comments from those stating they scored in the 160s for their diagnostic. It happens.
  • @BagelBiter yes! Thank you for saying this! The majority of my time studying has been spent drilling. Lots of ppl think blowing through every PT released is going to magically increase your score. So not true! I have always always had an improvement…

  • You def don’t want to take a PT everyday because you don’t have enough time to thoroughly BR. Your greatest gains will come from BR but not taking test after test with no time for improvement in between. I would do one PT a week with a thorough BR a…
  • @bobbyrengifo it won't hurt to revisit the curriculum. Maybe take a timed test to see where you are. You can then BR and address the question types you missed and return to the cc as needed.
  • @eugenewrotethis @eugenewrotethis said: It would be helpful if you could explain why you thought C would block out any alternate explanations for the prevented deaths. @tanes256 said: I thought that taking more trips and the total ti…
  • This is totally normal. Don’t let it discourage you. BR is where you’ll make your greatest gains.
  • @Sammie215 I haven't emailed them about your specific issue but the auto response is normal. They'll respond within a few days with whatever you should do, if anything. You could always call and talk to someone as well if you're unclear or have ques…
  • Awesome sauce!!
  • @jaylenosgarage I usually come back at the end especially if it's those substitute questions. I prefer to come back at the end so that I can clear my mind of the game. Lots of times I've noticed that I diagrammed something wrong or misinterpreted a …
  • @"surfy surf" def take the break. You're probably letting your performance now discourage you but it's not truly an accurate gauge because you're not 100%. Take a few days off. I wouldn't be surprised if you see great improvement when you come back.…
  • Don't panic. Just treat this like you would any other PT.
  • @LindsMitch RC by far is my worst section. When I think I'm improving I'm hit with another -7 or something. I would honestly be ok with a consistent -3 or -4. One of my biggest issues was not being able to retain anything I've read so I was having t…
  • @Tortsillustrated I'm not really sure what you're asking. After your PT you should do BR. You BR the questions you circled during the PT because you were uncertain. Don't grade the PT until after you've completed BR. Go back to the questions you mis…
  • @lcmhomes check the websites of the schools you're applying. Some schools do accept the June score but who knows where you'll fall re scholarships. Scholarships this late in the cycle will depend on the school as well.
  • @dgnorton you should be ok where you are now if you’re trying to score a 160. What’s your BR scores? You should be scoring probably 3-5 points above160 on BR. Make it your goal to go -0 on every LG BR. If you’re struggling with LG I would put my foc…
  • @Ohnoeshalpme this was also a problem for me. What I realized was that I was so panicked and focused on the clock that all strategy and any thought process went out the window. As I got more comfortable with the clock I started seeing a positive cha…
  • @stormhur 7 Sage and The LSAT Trainer work well together but I wouldn’t go through them at the same time. I used the Trainer for a different perspective if something wasn’t clicking from 7 Sage. I only briefly looked at the LG section. I find 7 Sage…
  • @tringo335 of course I have nothing concrete but I wouldn’t think so. The only thing I could see is the person stating that you have certain qualities that they are sure the school is looking for or that would benefit the school. Something along the…
  • I normally keep going back to games that I’m either not under the time or if I’m just shaky on. If I know I only got through the game because I remembered the answers I usually keep coming back to it over the next few days and weeks until I’m comgor…
  • @dgnorton what are you going to do if you don’t score as well as you’d like? If the answer is take it again then I would suggest just delaying it and studying properly to get a more desirable score. Are you comfortable with the material? Are you abl…
  • I wouldn’t settle just yet. You have plenty of time. I would keep studying at least until the end of your year and then make the decision to either take another year for studying or just go to the lower ranked school, if the price isn’t outrageous. …
  • Weren't there already BR study groups? What happened to those? I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for but hopefully someone in those groups will come along.
  • @"alexandra.marlene" take a look at your analytics and drill the LR questions you're weakest on. After you drill BR and then return to the curriculum if you need to. Maybe do 5-10 questions of a few specific question types each day.
  • Awesome! Keep up the good work!
  • @dgnorton I don’t believe there’s anything different with the feb test but I’ve actually always heard people say it’s harder.
