I'm reading a book about the Cold War that I'm enjoying. It's called the Cold War: A World History by Odd Arne Westad. If you're into social justice and haven't read Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson, it's amazing It's not dense or anything, but a grea…

Thanks @Ashley25!
-
aaah okay got it. Thanks @canihazJD!
-
@Ashley25 The idea of those two things being equal is probably both necessary and sufficient. If they’re not the same the argument is destroyed, and it’s mostly sufficient enough to draw the conclusion. I think you could argue that it doesn’t make s…

What is a good way to parse out the grammar with certainty from this question stem? Now I see that we're trying to pick a hypothesis for M which makes the right AC a lot clearer, but when I was answering the question I thought it meant we were supp…

Okay, this question really tripped me up. Timed I was down to A and D and I couldn't decide. I just want to put it out there and hopefully someone can tell me if I'm way off base or on the right track. Translation: - Competence to pass judgement …

The best piece of advice I have received is to let your timeline be dictated by the test. I think it's fine to set goals, but definitely be open to flexibility. There are two ways to approach the test: 1) Have a timeline in mind, but not necessari…

My advice would be to not worry too much about how long it takes you to review a problem set. It used to take me several hours sometimes on harder sets! I don't know how efficiently you're spending your time, but the longer you spend on trying to un…

You’re so right. I definitely need to make this more of a priority. Good insight as always! @canihazJD

Reviving this thread because this question doesn't make any sense to me. At BEST you can say that good food ---> not bad food. If you go through the chain and link everything up that way, you still don't get to say that a good meal depends on an…

@"andrew.rsn" I'm a musician, too! Where did you do your degrees? I graduated from Eastman in 2012, and then did my Masters and PD at SMU.
-
I would start by taking a few RC passages untimed. Even just take one passage and give yourself as much time as it takes to understand what you're reading. There's no time that's too long! When you're done, fill out a form like this one and then ans…

Definitely! @canihazJD talked to me about this the other week. Some question types are very conducive to this type of strategy, parallel reasoning being the obvious one. The question types that ask you to pick the answer choice that does something …
-
Yeah this is confusing. Here's my shot at it: If the conclusion is that lobe activity dictates your mental state, ( A causes C ) E is saying that C (social activity) causes A, and B is just kind of a correlated factor. So, most people who aren't c…

@obloome omg I'm dying lol! I needed a good laugh this morning :-p
-
I can't speak for that question specifically, but I know how you feel. I hadn't done a new test section until last night and it was a wakeup call. Not sure where to go from here, honestly...
-
This is fun to think about! I plan on doing a LOT of cooking and baking.
-
I have the same issue sometimes. You can tell yourself "don't think about the time" but it's the same thing as telling someone not to think about pink elephants... it's all you end up thinking about! I think the suggestion about blocking out the ti…
-
Yeah exactly @kkole444 The LSAT doesn't care about soundness, just validity. Right @"Jordan Johnson" ??
-
Could you elaborate more on what specifically you're having trouble with?
-
I'm on my 7th pencil, almost there!!
-
@"Learned Astronomer", I've actually changed my methods because of the feedback I received from this post! It used to take me a few 10+ hour days to do a thorough BR of the entire test. This is a great way to ensure a high BR score, but it actually …
-
unlimited time is only for problem sets, I’m pretty sure? When I took an untimed test I just made problem sets of every section.
-
I totally agree with what everyone else is saying. Don't even worry about it at all, you may just need to adjust your expectations re: how many problem sets you can do in a day. At the beginning especially, those harder problem sets took me like 2 h…

@yara12345678 omg I love doing this. Dallas area is my go to and I don't even live in Texas anymore lol... so many absurdly expensive and lovely homes.
-
What are your goals? I think that will largely dictate your approach. If your section goals are -5 timed, it might be worth it to explore skipping a passage altogether. If you see a passage and it only has 5 questions, save it until the end and then…
-
Wow loving all this great feedback, thanks everyone!! This gives me a lot of good stuff to think about.
-
Film yourself doing everything. It has helped me so much. It took me from -10 one week to -0 the next. Full disclosure: I had been going -2 - -3, but the -10 threw me for a loop and I started making lots of silly mistakes because I wasn't confident.…

Thank you @kkole444 !!!

@Confidence123 start by closing extraneous tabs and applications, then try the test again.
