oh man, is it true that the LR questions on the newer exams are tougher? This might change my study plan a bit...

Looking forward to it, thank you!!

thanks @swanganie Your kitty is super cute too! @WickedLost I couldn't agree more. I could definitely use some adorable puppy/kitty pics after the LR problem sets I just did...

Heyyy! I went to SMU for my masters. I know very, very little about the law school, but anecdotally, SMU always seemed to have a very strong alumni network in Dallas. I lived in Dallas for 4 years, and Fort Worth for 2... so if you have any questio…

@McBeck418 Yeah it's definitely tempting to go beyond the stimulus, I understand that impulse completely. I have to actively fight it on almost every question. This might sound silly... but sometimes it's helpful for me to think about these question…

Totally agree with @"Law and Yoda" I think it's also nice to understand what you're getting into and the feel of the exam. When I took my diagnostic, I remember feeling mentally drained and crunched for time. I keep those things in the back of my mi…

Omg hahaha. I'm flattered! Thanks @canihazJD That's how she naps every day and it's my view as I study. I've never been able to figure out how she breathes.

I did the question and this is what I came up with. I hope it helps! I would love to answer your specific question, but I'm not sure I completely understand where your confusion is coming from... I wouldn't worry about whether or not it's possible f…

Haven't had time to parse through the entire thread, but this discussion reminded me of Carol Dweck's work with the growth/fixed mindset. If you don't know what I'm talking about, definitely google it. She has a TED talk on the subject. (I can't rem…

Interesting! Yeah it is time consuming, but it does help to limit my drilling to an hour per day... although TBH sometimes (cough frequently) that turns into more because I can get obsessive about things haha. Still, @HLoom1222 it's definitely worth…

You can memorize the typical stem associated with the type. For example: MBT: "Which one of the following statements follows logically from the statements above?" MSS: "Which one of the following is most strongly supported by the information abov…

I'm stopping and fool proofing each game before moving on, in a sense. I have a spreadsheet going with all of the games done thus far with notes, the last time I took it, and whether or not my last timed run fell within the goal for that particular …

Thank you for sharing your story and for your well said words of encouragement! To echo that sentiment: Something I wish I had learned earlier in life is that what we do does not have to define who we are. We should always try to find value in the p…

@kkole444 that's so cool! It also reminds me of the Queen's Gambit where she's able to visualize the chess board on the ceiling. Man, if only I could do that for LGs... just look up at the ceiling and conceive every possible game iteration haha.

Anyone else tempted to say small town lawyer, but purely because of shows like Sweet Magnolias? asking for a friend...

Thank you @canihazJD!! @"Burt Reynolds" @lsat_gunner I haven't done the dinosaur game yet... it sounds like a doozy. Which PT is it?

According to their website, it looks like a updated version will be coming out any day now! (mid-Feb) Might be worth the wait.
-
Congratulations!!! Thanks for sharing your story, it's really inspiring!

@canihazJD Thanks for this advice! I always want to study in the quietest, least distracting environment possible, and it's always a pain to incorporate stress or distractions. This is such a good reminder to do it anyway, even if it's frustrating a…

Hey! I'm in a similar-ish place. I just started logic games (on spatial games currently) If you haven't done the Loophole, I've found it to be a good supplement for LR studying while I go through the LG section of the CC.

An argument by analogy is being used here. Some people say that funding this telescope will only serve the interests of the scientists who work with it. What if we had said that about the work of (insert famous scientists) ? We would have missed…

Although... it's now occurring to me that they messed it up on purpose to waste your time when it has no bearing on the correct answer. They succeeded.

I just finished that section and I know exactly what you're talking about! I think JY's way is a good fail safe. Like, if you get panicky on a question, it's good to know that all you have to do is negate the sufficient. I found her mechanical trans…

Hey! Could you send me the link to the quizlet, please? I just ordered the Loophole, I have seen so many people recommend it on here, so I figured it was time!
-
Ahh! Just finished the exam. I totally agree with everyone above... it's very scary to just press save haha. Thank you J.Y. for this exercise. I think it was a very valuable experience, especially for someone like me who kind of decided to start stu…

Hey LSATWarrior! First of all, I really appreciate your willingness to post about this. I think a lot of us (myself included) always want to put our best foot forward, and it's important to have a space to talk about some of our struggles. I comp…
