In essence you're looking for a required assumption that must be true in order for the argument to hold up. It's something that they do not explicitly state but hold to be true in order for their argument to be valid.
In terms of what the question …
They certainly do overlap a bit. If I had to explain it, I'd say this is the difference:
Flaws: it's about how the argument is functioning (is there something wrong with the structure, weak evidence, assumptions, etc)
-When approaching flaws, you'…
I've taken it online for 3 administrations and I will say, the proctoring service they use is not good. I had two terrible experiences where the proctor didn't even show up after the timed break, and also didn't let me test in an approved area that …
Agree with the note above about building the skills through the classes you take, material you read, etc. Take a logic class if you can (typically in the philosophy department.) I would caution against actual LSAT material and/or intense studying so…
In terms of strategy, there's a couple of things that I do that have worked for me:
1. When reading the stimulus, I think about the argument and what claims are being made. It's important to understand the argument.
2. I normally due process of el…
I'd focus on doing drills or even sections untimed. This will help you practice the MATERIAL rather than the TEST. By doing this, you will build mastery of the concepts, then you can add in timing and strategy. I'd also pause on the PTs, but I know …
I'm assuming you're referring to it being listed as experimental on the review results page. There's not really a way around it because of course we don't know which section is the unscored section when we're testing. What I would do though is exami…
I would highly recommend getting through all the intro material first, then once you've gotten to question types for LR and RC, you can drill on those in tandem with the lessons. That is what I did and it allowed me to have both lessons and practice…
I've struggled with this as well. Something that has helped me has been focusing heavily on low-res summary work. When you are truly working to understand the key points, functions, etc. it helps so much. I found that you can also spot the "fluff" t…
Nothing to add from the previous two comments other than I'd also recommend taking a week off. When I've hit plateaus, I have found a short break to be incredibly helpful in working through burnout and fatigue.
I didn't find the study schedule to be super helpful. It's certainly all about what works for you though. What I've done is I went all the way through the curriculum, then took a PT. After that, I've been reviewing the analytics, practicing drills, …
Hey! I too am also out of school and will be in the 2-3 years out when applying in 2026 cycle. I want to preface that the following advice is what I personally have been told by multiple admissions officers and through research with the schools I am…
