I think the first question would be to deduce where an individual is in their studies. Someone who lacks the fundamentals is going to need more time with a tutor than someone who enlists a tutor to go from a consistent -4 in LG to a consistent -1 in…

76-2-16, just did this problem. It has an answer choice describing the other element of answer choice (D) from 80-1-13 that I advocate we should also be familiar with.

"On the basis of" indicates a descriptor of a premise. So, "on the basis of claims of how it should be" indicates a claim about how things should be. We have built upon that a claim about the actual world: how things actually are. Situation X shou…

How long did you study prior to taking June's exam?

I'm going to take the position and say that although an SA/PSA has the function of a strengthener: as long as we define "strengthener" as making the conclusion more likely to follow from the stated premise(s), I would avoid looking at SA/PSA as stre…

This is a fantastic story. Thank you for sharing!

Wanted to bump this so others can see we have a meeting tonight. I also wanted to point out that Section 3 question 8: the LSAT writers might actually have a sense of humor? lol

PT C is on the original “super prep” released by the LSAC. https://www.amazon.com/Official-LSAT-SuperPrep-Champion-Prep/dp/0979305063/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1530637911&sr=8-1&keywords=superprep As an aside, for my money PT C's games ar…

Thank you! :-)

Grammatical Indicators provide for us a general road map of the structure of the argument. Although they should not be our sole consideration in a mechanical way every time we face an MC question. Sometimes a “thus” at the end of an argument isn’t a…
-
Our first step in any solid advice would be to see precisely where deviations from your previous scores are located.
-
To better assist you, can we have your section breakdown from 3 PTs from the 40s and three PTs from the 70s, to compare? For instance: -2 in LG, -2 in LR, -3 in RC etc Thank you David
-
Anticipating an answer choice (often called pre-phrasing) is where we look at what type of question we have: be it flaw or weakening or sufficient assumption etc and come up with a general form in which we expect the answer choice to take. We accom…
-
@janelleeng , not necessarily, but it is a skill that we can employ on future problems where we might not be able to go searching for the credited answer with confidence. Remember, there are two basic ways of getting to the credited response: pinpo…
-
I would approach by eliminating every answer choice that is not correct: working wrong to right. So if you know the credited response is (B), try articulating explicitly why A, C, D and E are wrong. This is what I do.

I'm doing a bit of the 50s to assist in the September study group's progress along side that, I'm doing 70-80s with a deep dive into the material to strengthen my specific weaknesses.
-
My recommendation would be to memorize them. They assist in seeing the general form of the argument given. This ability can save valuable time on LR questions.
-
This is an excellent group that works together well. Keep up the great work!

I'm inspired by the defense attorneys (public defenders included) throughout America whose names we all might not know but who are standing between the state and the individual. I've been watching "The Staircase" and leaving aside thoughts on Mr. Pe…

Thank you @sx23 for clearing that up!

Just as an aside, I’m not entirely sure that by the time you get your June score you will be eligible for a refund for July. I could be wrong. I’m registered for July and am under the impression that tomorrow June 19th 2018 is the last day one can w…
-
Not 100% sure what you are asking. What you have written above looks to me to be correct followed by the contrapositive.
-
There might be two general issues here: 1. Is that different people might abbreviate a conditional statement in a slightly different way. This is totally fine. I might just call the second element here with my own shorthand “Alaska*” that *telling …
-
I think absent any statement about the amount of time in our unit of measure: per day or per week etc and whether or not the amount within that unit changed over the given time, I don’t think we can infer 1,2 or 3. I would have chosen the same answ…
-
Did you choose 4?
-
Can you give an example to help clarify?
-
I'm open to any correction here. The negation as I see it: It is not true that "the social impact of some of the new drugs being tested is poorly understood." Meaning, all of the new drugs being tested are understood better than poorly. Actually …
-
Shub from the study group: if you're out there (I don't know your screen name) I hope you did well!
-
I look forward to working with this group! Excellent work tonight.
-
I don't want to be really nit-picky here, but does (B) lacking the word "now" still make it necessary? Meaning, our set in the stimulus is drugs "now being tested" and (B) is just about drugs being tested. Curious as to where this leads us in the …
