@aguirreliz92 said: Just to make sure I have this correct, when we do a PT for a BR, I don’t look at the answers before we go over it together right? Great question! Correct. Just BR to the best of your ability. I'm going to update the OP w…

Seems like you need some work with assumption family questions. Flaw, NA, and SA, all use the same skills. You're basically identifying the premise + conclusion and figuring out what is wrong with the argument. I would return to the CC review the le…

@LivePumpkin My very broad advice for LR questions is to practice being able to weed through the excess verbiage in the stimulus and identify the argument core with surgical precision, identify the conclusion first then the reasoning and figure out…

I think 7Sage's LSAT Analytics is the best way to get that data. I don't think there's any LSAC released data on section difficulty.
-
Shave for sure. It explicitly mentions things like that and it's just not worth the 5% chance they give you a hard time.

@jennybbbbb said: @akistotle said: It's not unusual. But did you think you were ok during the first section or were you panicking? I think you should analyze what was going on by recording yourself and seeing your footage. Even J.Y…

@jennybbbbb said: On the first LR section or first section in general, I always seem to score lower than the rest of the sections. I have tried doing some questions before starting a PT to warm up... nothing is helping. Tips? Sound…

@"samantha.ashley92" said: @"Alex Divine" I have been studying for about a month and a half now-- just starting RRE questions. I am taking the LSAT in June, under the assumption that I will retake in September. Yeah definitely give the 7Sage…

@"samantha.ashley92" said: @"Alex Divine" thanks! I would say MSS, MP/MC, weakening, SA, and flaw "except" questions are the toughest for me. I can do all of the 3/5 difficulty questions without a problem, so I understand the core concepts. As…

@"samantha.ashley92" said: @jkatz1488 Thank you for sharing your experience. Sometimes I understand them well enough, and sometimes I don't. Occasionally, I will get the 4/5 and 5/5 difficulty questions right and the 1/5 and 2/5 difficulty one…

@"Paul Caint" said: @"Alex Divine" But they see semester breakdowns right? As in, if I got a 3.8 first year, 4.0 second year, they see that, not just straight GPA? Yup! They can see each semester classes + grades.
-
To my knowledge, both. They can see more info than just what's on the LSAC generated transcripts. However, I'm not sure if they receive both actual transcripts.
-
@"Paul Caint" said: Haha that was my exact thinking. Even if it is not a complex word, the fact that it is causing such a debate on this forum is reason enough to change it. People will generally debate about anything though, haha. It's a go…

@akeegs92 said: @"Alex Divine" Where do you think people about to start up PT'ing should begin at then? I'm reviewing a lot of LR material and FP'ing and will begin soon. I have had this thought in my mind since I'm targeting June. I feel like…

I sat in on some classes at my undergrad's LS and I just stayed quiet and noted what everyone was doing during class. Everyone seemed super engaged in note taking and the class seemed very discussion based. To me that was markedly different than und…

I think it totally depends on the full context and how it flows. I don't think the word itself is too pretentious or complex, however.

@CurlyQQQ said: @"Alex Divine" So I'm guessing 2 LORs from academic professors makes more sense than NGO Board members? Depending on responses I get I'll do 2 Academic LORs and 1 Board member LOR. Get all 3, better to have options. Even stil…
-
@CurlyQQQ said: @"Alex Divine" I know that LSAC stores them for years so I guess it would make more sense to at least eliminate that stress early on. I do live in the same town as my Uni which is great so I could go and visit my old professors…
-
No, your LORs will still be fine to use. Obtain and get some from your undergrad profs. You're a recent grad and schools will want to see 2 strong LORs from Profs. I also have LORs from 2016 and plan on using them next cycle when I apply. So they wo…

@"Seeking Perfection" said: I'm sure it's likely there will ever be too many. I PTd using 79 unique tests and wouldn't change a thing. I'd say that if we get to 200 it will definitely be too many. I think the yest format will be changed before…

@LivePumpkin said: Thank you so much for the detailed and quick reply! Also, which PTs I should use to drill? I have all 1-82. I am considering using 60-69 for drills and maybe use 70-82 for PTing? Lastly, do you have some form of st…

@LivePumpkin said: Hi everyone, I have been at the stage where I have consistently been going -1 to -3 on untimed LR and RC for a while. Now, I have decided to start transitioning myself into timing; however, I am not sure what the best a…

@Kateryna said: @"Alex Divine" what do you do after you get -3/-4 untimed? also is iti -3/-4 per section or for both sections After that I finally felt like working on my speed was a worthy endeavor. As it turned out, once I was missing arou…

@"LSAT Student" said: I graduated earlier this year from a large university and while I did well in my classes I never really connected with any of my professors (my fault). At this point I need a letter or two so I can fire off my application…

@"Marco Antonio" said: I have been doing confidence drills lately and I've been doing worse than I normally do. I usually miss between 5-6 per section, but on the last two I did I missed 9. Not quite sure what to make of it. I have been trying…

@taranjot said: Hey guys, I write the December LSAT so i am doing as many PTs as i can now until then. I had the beginner course bought, and i did the PTs until 44, and today i did PT 60. I want to do more recent tests before the LSAT, bu…

@mfd3264 said: Not sure where to look to find it. Not in my downloads folder Yeah try skimming to the bottom the the syllabus page and I think it should be after all of the CC lessons.
