A few quick things: this is a most strongly supported question. Although there is some general overlap between MBT and MSS questions, the two can often be quite different: mainly in the level of support each receives from the stimulus. With MBT qu…

what is your goal score?

@lsatstar can you give us a bit more info on the article? Was this individual discriminated against at the law school?
-
I'll listen to them once in awhile. If I'm doing something outside: chopping wood or gardening, I'll throw their podcast on. Overall, I think the hosts are two competent LSAT teachers and there are useful nuggets here and there on their podcasts, …

@tekken1225 I believe it was a -16 for a 170. PT 23, I think it was. The only more recent exam that I am aware of that comes close to that is -14 for PT 71 and -14 for PT 65. Edit: for newer examples
-
@tekken1225 yes, this is how people refer to "the curve." Traditionally, a -10 exam, meaning you can get a -10 and still get a 170, puts someone at roughly a -24/-25 for a 160.

This is a fine line to walk for sure. There are a finite number of hours in a day. What you are attempting has been done, but will always be difficult. Depending whether you are at the PT stage of your prep, I would say 1 fresh PT strictly timed …

I took the July exam. It was undisclosed. The only real potential drawback to taking an undisclosed exam in my opinion, as you correctly identified is the lack of a solid blind review from that exam. As other have mentioned above, this drawback is m…

There is a difference between “no one on lsn has ever gotten in with my numbers” and “a school that has never accepted a student with my stats.” With that being said and without knowing your numbers: plan for a retake of the LSAT. You can increase …

@Bamboosprout I'm happy to read you stayed away from Yukon Jack. Isn't really a whiskey per se, but...is the first thing I think of when I hear "Canadian whiskey."

The difference for me was conscious drilling. Drilling that went really deep into labeling all relevant elements of the argument. For questions that contain lawgic, I did dozens of them between 10 and 20 times each, watched the videos and read throu…

Best of luck to all the regulars in the group! It was a pleasure working with all of you! David

It sounds complicated in the beginning, but there is a finite number of ways they can trick us. With practice, we can see through the tricks. Lets say we are asked to spell out: If A---->B ~B---->~A would be correct ~A--->~B would be i…

No, the contrapostive is still fair game as far as answer choices go. If knows cannot fulfill---->ought not to Ought to----->does not know cannot fulfill (or more directly possibly "can fulfill") Where your strategy pays dividends is when i…

@LSATcantwin on a completely unrelated note: tell us about 1L! Reading your posts for awhile, I feel like a friend/neighbor is in 1L and I'm dying to know how things are! David

29 years old. 30 this october. Applying this fall.

I dispense the following advice: -What is your goal score? -in your last 5 fully timed/ fresh PTs what was your average score? -is this average score within three points (plus or minus) of your goal score? **If so, take this final week to do so…

"Splitters" have a shot for sure. The difficult part is predicting that shot with a high degree of confidence. There are some schools that people will say things with confidence about your application given the numbers stated above: it is pretty c…

This is a complex argument structure, and is a question where we see a confluence of several of the lessons in the CC. In a very abstract form we are told that other people say that B is necessary for A. Namely: If continued funding then can be i…

@musumecibjj wait wait wait....Mikey?? Or Tammy?

I highly recommend darkness visible by william styron. An absolutely incredible book.

The most effective way to tackle questions that contain formal logic with confidence and accuracy is to learn the type of formal logic employed by the LSAT. 7Sage teaches the relevant concepts in a way that beginners can pick them up via the quizze…

https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/4760/7sages-approved-tutors/p1 is a list You are more than likely going to have to reach out via PM to the tutors.

I mean this post with the utmost respect. I'm not an expert on these matters. One thing I wanted to ask was what people's general feelings surrounding a political official being a recommender were. A few years ago I had a friend who had a local p…

I'm writing what I think the takeaway/form for this problem is. At the end of the post, I will note that this particular problem is not the greatest example of the form provided in my estimation. Basically, this is one of two common variations on …

I think there are two things to balance here: early applications might give an individual a better chance of gaining admission vs. applying with better stats at a slightly later date. I'm not an expert on these matters but a chance to apply with…

Hey everyone, last night we briefly discussed 83-1-2, the "misinterpret the term" question. Here are two other questions from older exams just like it: 53-1-12 and 40-1-10

You're more than likely going to get a "no" to this question. Ideally, a high enough LSAT score will do the most to offset the GPA. My recommendation would be to focus all of your energy on that. David

Your story sounds a lot like mine. I needed roughly 2,000 games to get my first ever perfect section on a fresh LG. Whatever you are doing right now with games in your review, you’ve got to change that approach to net a greater increase. The problem…
