  • It sounds like you are exhausted and burned out. I can attest because I have been there. While my understanding of the test had grown, my scores would dip simply because I was tired and exhausted. One thing I hope you remember is that the LSAT is a…
  • Yes, as you go through more questions, you will definitely see general trends even in harder LR questions. The difficulties in harder LR questions often come down to the fact that the flaws are a lot more subtle and not as obvious as easier questio…
  • They are quite different in language absolutely but for the purposes of conditionality, they go in the same direction. If I say "Everyone/Anyone who plays in the NBA must have trained hard," then it would still "Play NBA --> Trained hard." So "I…
  • I have a unique Skipping and Guessing strategy that works for me, but feel free to test it out and see what works for you. What I do is when I hit a difficult question, let's use LR as an example, I do my best to figure it out (or understand it at …
  • Hey I'm in a very similar boat like you. I've taken the exam multiple times and am gearing for a final retake this fall. The best advice I've received regarding test-day is to find a way to reduce the anxiety leading up to the exam and learn breath…

  • Woot!! I'm also CO2015 so 6 years out of college. I'm just like you. Dabbled in another industry before now pursuing what I really wanted to do. Best of luck on your journey. Know you aren't alone. Lots of "older" people here trying to make their dr…
  • I'll say this as someone who previously tutored with Elemental Prep. As well known as the company is for LR tutoring, it was the LG tutoring that was by far the most revolutionary for me. I cannot disclose this due to a previous agreement, but I wo…
  • I've had experience with both preferred techniques, Question Stem first or Stimulus first, and had overwhelming greater success with the Question Stem first approach. FYI, I was doing Stimulus first for OVER a year simply because other tutors told …
