like farzana said, youll get to a point in your lsat studying where necessary assumption questions start to feel like must be true questions. approach them like that , and youll have an easier time finding the right answer

tags are im assuimg the stems ? lr question types are fungible, on my last pt i got a PSA question right even thoug i thought it was a strengthen. that is because my mind was oriented toward strong validating answer choices, so the PSA answer choice…

great question. its complicated....on rc i woud read every answer choice. but not on lr. any question on lr that is MBT, MBF, PSA, SA, NA you do not need to read every answer. there is a kind of unequivocal true or false, right or wrong construction…

what the other users are saying is that even if you say with your hands folded for the entire test while the clock was running, a score below 120 would not be possible

Well definitely don't take it again for a while. Do the CC and take PT's for a while. I sort of did what you did back in 2021. I took the test twice and got 144 then 146. It was a dumb decision because I knew very little about the test and took it a…

I use a yellow legal pad and g207 blue ink pens. I go through each answer choice, writing out why I did or did not pick that answer choice

I'm a low 160s scorer and I still diagram anything conditional. It takes some time but you end up saving time because, when you finish the diagram, you hunt for the correct must be true or must be false answer choice. You dont need to read every ans…

Because PSA questions aren't formulaic like SA or MBT. So when you draw a contrapositive, it's a (soft) contrapositive. So the reason you csnt say something could be morally right contrapositively on a PSA is because you're only entitled to conclude…

move out of DC, maybe out to virginia, and go to a law school there. plenty of quality schools will take a score of 165 which is a stout performance. richmond, uva, regent, george mason etc. one of those schools will take you

@"sanique.rowe" thank you for the response, I understand. One other question I have is do you recommend I take 4 full sections when I am doing my prepetests? 3 scored sections and one section from the old preptests to simulate the experimental secti…

@BenkoFromPetco did you try it when you took the test?

Narcissistic abuse is , according to you, correlated with lower lsat PT scores. Therefore, the abuse causes the lower scores. Maybe the causation is reversed? Maybe your lower test scores caused your mood to plummet which made you more vulnerable to…

@ntrepanier5 Cooley law school, that's hilarious. We've all been there, bombing a PT and thinking 'at least I could still get into widener or cooley"

In my experience , easy to medium level MSS questions always have an incredibly weak answer as the correct answer. But hard mss questions will have the correct answer be some tiny reference to one sentence in the stimulus or sometimes even half the…

I'd start reading challenging material. I was reading the economist like everyone else for a while , but it wasn't helping me in RC. Then I started reading philosophy books and my ability to read rc blasted off. So just challenge yourself more. Dry …

A System of Logic by John Stuart Mill literally reads like an lsat prep book. I think it was written in the 1800s but it basically provides every mode of Logic you could possibly need for the lsat. It gives more formal names to the concepts you'd he…

Yes. I'm catholic. I've prayed alot throughout my lsat preparation process. Let me know how I can be involved
-
i hope you are right man. because the reading comp passages from te june 2007 lsat felt way harder than the ones ive been doing in the pt30's
-
This is awesome. I've seen you around here a lot but I didn't know your story. Very inspiring. I'm almost 28 and I feel like I'm getting too old to still be studying for the lsat but I've made so much progress since I started studying a couple years…

i wrote it lol its not an actual question. i just love how confusing it is
-
I love this success story. I hope to one day be writing the post you just wrote ; cheering on my team's runners from the other side of the hallowed finish line. I'll ask this : do I need to do the core curriculum again? I love logical reasoning so …

what question is this for?
-
this is a very important post! i love listening to supreme court oral arguments and trying to see how some of the reasoning connects to LSAT concepts. A great example is the case King V Burwell from 2013. the issue before the court was about how to…

i think for the test , only pencils no 2 are allowed. but in practice i always use g207 blue pens
-
interesting. what i try to do is take timed sections sitting in a busy restaurant at a table or some other place that is seething with distractions. as a way to build my tolerance for concentrating. but once test day arrives , id like to try those h…

parallel method questions only have a flaw about half the time. so half the time you are paralleling a GOOD argument. match the parts to each other is what id suggest. and never prioritize the subject matter of the stimulus or answer choices. i sho…
-
must be true questions, and both types of parallel questions. parallel questions are actualy even more formulaic than SA questions imo

it helped me to classify the game types before even entering the rules. in other words , 9 vegetables being placed into 3 baskets of 3 vegetables each would be a 3 to 3 correspondence, or a "balanced game"........similarly, 9 antibiotics being place…
