We probably need a book thread on here
-
I've actually never read Brothers Karamazov completely (only excerpts) but I am a fan of Dostoevsky. House of the Dead is one of my favorite novels of all time.
-
I'm actually unaware of a previous game that would adequately prepare us for that game. Instead, what I would recommend is isolating precisely where this game gave you trouble. I've done this game probably 30+ times. Where the issue is probably l…

Excellent work on getting to the core of the arguments here.

@"Paul Caint" @"Alex Divine" I don't want to start any scurrilous rumors, but I remember a few months ago reading on this forum that a proctor had an issue with a test taker having more than 1 watch. Even though having more than 1 watch is evidentl…

I should amend slightly what I wrote for #2 above: grammar on the LSAT is one of a handful of skills that are absolutely crucial in my estimation to a great score. I in no way want to down play that. But the act of actually taking a step back and …

The proper translation for the first example is as follows: If Brown——>New Store’ The second example is a bit more difficult. The sufficiency condition rests on our proper understanding of what it means to have “no shred of a doubt.” If one h…

Yes, I would do precisely that. spend an hour or so each day on a specific type, dig deep into whatever is giving you trouble. You might find something that pays off with 2 or so points come Saturday.

I can answer this question strictly from a personal preference. I would not take another PT. I would instead do some light drilling up till Friday and do some very brief warm ups come Saturday morning. I would keep things light. The analogy I us…

Congrats, keep us posted as you continue to progress!

I look forward to our first meeting!

There is a bit more juice we can get out of this question. This note is a reminder to write a follow up post.
-
I would like to add a bit to the above explanation. With this question, we are asked to choose the answer choice that if we were to follow what it has asked of us, it will lead to a position where is there is only 1 possible valid world we can cons…

Remember that you've already done the work, you've just got to out there and perform. Easier said than done, I know but in a nutshell, thats what it is. David

I have actually never done a fresh game in under 5 minutes. I've done fresh games in 5:35-:5:50 with confidence, but have never broken that 5 minute barrier. These times are recommendations, if you add up all the times, they often go to 33 or 34 m…

Excellent catch @thisissparta I actually have never looked at this question before. I got to (A) via POE. I believe this to be a super subtle question. Answer choice (A) is essentially saying: "Hey Erik, you know how you used that word 'pointle…

Knowing causation implies implicitly that there is correlation. Knowing for instance that dust from an attic caused me to sneeze implies that the dust from the attic and the sneeze are correlated. Now, simply knowing correlation does not imply cau…

Totally normal, I also dream of LG.

A day late, but happy thanksgiving to you also!
-
You're totally correct. The flaw here is the necessary/sufficient confusion, also known as "the oldest trick in the book." What is different here is the wording. This is probably the most abstract way in which the LSAT has described the sufficien…

If you don't mind me asking, in an effort to better help you, how did you do on the PT 82 games? Either test day or in practice.

Excellent work @LSATcantwin

It is not a panacea, but your post reminded me of this thread: http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=195603 The main hurdle you are probably going to be facing is the problem of exhausted materials. There is a finite amount of mat…
-
Not here that :"Early high school level of abstraction" in the math here is meant to signify that at its core the math here is simple, but obscured by the passage itself. All we are really doing here is dividing something by 10 and making sure that…
-
This is an excellent form to know. It is something entirely relevant to your future studies. I believe there are two key takeaways from this problem: 1.There is an almost dishonest assumption here by the argument's author. 2.There is a bit of ma…
-
My general advice would be: -Know the games really well from previous experience, having memorized reoccurring inferences, having game type specific strategies, etc. -Develop a skipping strategy for both whole games and potentially difficult qu…

Excellent post, I'm always glad to see people replicating test day conditions as close as possible.
-
If I may, there are a few things about your post I hope you consider in further detail. -There is not any time in my estimation which brute force is the preferred strategy. Brute force works, but in my estimation should be employed when we have re…
-
Thank you for your follow up question @"Caleb.rohr.church" PT 77 is in my estimation the paradigmatic example of an LG section where a reliable skipping strategy can really turn a tough section into something more manageable. The games surrounding …

Ideally, I would like it if the main point was a close approximation to what I have marked in the passage as the main point. Meaning during my read, I have something marked from the passage that I believe the passage is building towards. A few poi…
