I have spent a considerable amount of time on NA questions. Have you listened to the NA webinar? The third page of the webinar tab, top of the page. Here are some general tips that have helped me with NAs: 1.Remember what an NA is: something that…

First and most importantly, I think you should withdraw from the February exam. Take when you are ready in my opinion. Takes on this exam are a precious thing. Second, you appear to have the skills: you are essentially in a really great spot …

@dennisgerrard to my knowledge it isn't available for sale yet. Maybe within a few weeks: if the history of previous exam releases are any gauge.

Excellent question. The answer in my estimation is to find what works best for you. Like you stated, some games have too many possibilities to draw upfront (I'm thinking here for instance of PT 68 Game 4). My recommendation would be to try and fi…

I heard earlier this week on the LSAT podcast that those guys actually read the stimulus first. I didn't find their reasoning all that convincing, but to each their own. I personally have found reading the question stem first to be the better opti…

Great post! Thank you for sharing!

@dennisgerrard thank you for your question! I think there are three things to glean from (B) in review. 1.It is wrong because it is descriptively inaccurate. The "ought" is really the problem here. Typically, we use the word "ought" prescriptivel…

This is an excellent list that I will be bookmarking. Thank you. PT 29 Section 4 Question 24 is illustrative. A very complex weakening question containing causation.

I'll be there!

I actually do spend time reviewing sections with my wife. I think the process of explaining things on the exam to someone who isn't immersed in studying has been beneficial to my growth on this exam. The way I see it, if I can explain the concepts…

I actually was in an identical spot over the course of my studies. It has taken me a ton of work to get out of it and even more work to remain out of it. I needed over 700 games from the 1-49 set to get comfortable with my game skills. From perso…

About a month ago, a very helpful mentor on these forums wrote a thread about when to postpone taking the exam @Sami . My suggestion would be to take an honest look at that post and make the best decision for you. In the intervening time, feel fre…

Bump this for coming administrations. Worth a read.

Law schools highly value a candidate's LSAT score. It is difficult to understate how important this exam is. Some even say that law schools value the LSAT score of an applicant more than that applicant's undergraduate GPA. I have spoken to inform…

PT 27 is one of the top 5 hardest LG sections of all time in my estimation. Snakes and lizards is an infamously difficult game. It is possible for LG scores to fluctuate drastically. True mastery comes when you no longer see such swings. The a…

I have never read a convincing case that accommodations are in and of themselves “cheating.” We would do well to recall what accommodations still require of a test taker: the test taker is still required to be graded against the field, the test tak…

Rule four simply states that in the absence of all J then we get the other pop.

PT 31 the CD game? Rule 4 is not a "neither nor" rule.

@Frostbyte keep us posted!

I actually print everything. Double sided. It stinks but I have kept every game I have ever done. I'm going to recycle them all at once. I actually invested in a $49 printer that I use for LSAT related prints. I print and do games. On Wednesda…

I've invested a considerable amount of time into games. Although I did not take a diagnostic, when I first started LSAT prep I could only answer 1 question correctly untimed (the standard acceptable situation question) out of the entire set. It th…

Welcome aboard!

Presupposition simple means an assumption that is taken for granted. For the better part of 30 years the LSAT has been conflating percentages with whole numbers and whole numbers with percentages. This has been a staple of the exam on flaw questi…

The translation of that is: If Sarah is dating then it is not a funny guy. D---->F "Never" is a group 4 conditional indicator. How we do this on the LSAT is to negate the necessary condition. It might be helpful to think about it like this: w…

what has been the average breakdown of your last 5 tests per section? for instance, are you missing 4 on each games section/5 on each RC section? I think the most productive way to go about improving at this juncture would be to get a snapshot of …
-
@dennisgerrard are you asking what time you should allot generally to miscellaneous or non-convetinional games that appear on the sections?
-
For sequencing/grouping/in and out games I actually draw out 5 blank game boards upfront. I do this for 2 reasons: 1.some of the questions will inevitably ask for a world to be set up: I can readily do this. 2.When I make a valid world I circle it…

@burnyoubad69 great job! What PT set was this?

Many people consider this to be one of the hardest issues to overcome in prep. The (very) abridged answer is that speed comes with familiarization and familiarization comes with meaningful review of your weaknesses and understanding of the fundamen…
