Well, looks like I’m a little late to the party on this one, but yeah, you’re making the right call on postponing, you’re in good shape with 30 PTs left, and you are correct to stop PTing until you really feel ready to start back. Even the PTs you’…
Hey Nader, definitely smart to be conservative with your PTs. I think 36 might be a good one to use as a kind of post curriculum diagnostic. I took that one today actually to help stay sharp while I’m off of PTing to really focusing on LG. It’s a…
Hey @"Tina Cho" , the recordings are only available to members, but the live webinars are open to everyone. So keep an eye out for them! The next one is Tuesday and it's a Q&A on admissions with David.
No problem @Wonderwall ! I’ve been there. I was there yesterday actually. I ate a whole thing of brownie-filled chips ahoy. Definitely a low moment in my life, lol. But after that, I redid the game I bombed and came in -0 and under time! That’…

Does this mean that my foundation and understanding for logical reasoning is not good enough?
That’s exactly what it means. I know I’m going to be repeating a lot of what others have said (except recommending Powerscore, lol. I …
I wouldn’t see this as a bad thing. I actually just told someone else on another thread that realizing this test is way harder than you think is kind of a right of passage. Actually, I tell people that all the time, lol. This is a part of the pro…
Yeah, I think you definitely want to withdraw from September.

I have read through the LSAT Trainer 3x, Manhattan LG, LR books 3x, Powerscore LG, LR books 2x. I took PT's here and there, without real BR (so I can't reliably provide …

You mean cancel the registration now and get a partial refund?
Wow, I worded that so poorly, lol. Do not take the test if you are not ready!
Very nice! You are definitely in range of your 165 and beyond! Congrats!
As you move into the PT phase, just don’t forget what your task is. It is very easy to get invested in the psychological validation that comes from generating scores. Sure…
No doubt @"Alex Divine" . I toyed around with the idea of jumping around the curriculum and skipping everything I already “knew.” Really glad I decided against that! The basics are at the heart of everything else. I can still remember the lights…
Different companies have different approaches. So it might be interesting to get some different perspective, but for me, I really wish I'd just started with 7Sage from the beginning. I really didn't incorporate anything from my old material and had …
If you’re going to be breaking from September through December, I think it’s okay to get started, just focus on LR. I’ve found that LG takes constant work to maintain once you’ve gotten it down to the -0 range. I learned that one the hard way, lol…

I'm with your mom on the mice issue!
Haha, yeah, I don’t see much difference between them and squirrels or chipmunks or something. Although, I guess squirrels don’t have a history of wanting to be inside with us! I wouldn’t wa…
Nice! I had a teacher give an all True True/False exam once, haha. It didn’t surprise me too much though. He’d told me a story about how in college he got a class to train a professor to stand in a specific spot. They’d get really responsive whe…
@"Alex Divine" Yeah, it is a tremendous relief to have that realization. And I like the plan of following in J.Y.’s footsteps! We can graduate Harvard, turn down all of our job offers so that we can start a nonprofit to help kids from underprivil…
Nice find @nanchito ! I think my key take away from that was: “I think there are actually some sort of logical issues with this exact formulation of the sentence, and I don’t know if this actually translates as neatly into logic as all the rest of …

Ok because I was really confused as to why this wouldnt have been the answer: If Maria trained hard, she would win the sailboat race. Can you explain that real quick?
With this answer choice, it’s important to remember what th…
I should add that very frequently the conditional structures are more complex than this one. So there may be a lot of options that could work for your sufficient term. It’s typically the least obvious option. So if our argument in the stimulus is…
Pretty much, yeah. If you do that and then find a sufficient you can plug in that the stimulus can confirm, that conditional statement will always justify the conclusion.
I’m trying to think of an example and I keep forming “except when” statements. So here, I really see the “when” as the logical indicator with “except” modifying it. If you’ve got an example of “except” as a lone indicator, let me know and I’ll thi…
Hey, no problem @emilycyoung1 ! So, the first thing I see here is that the conclusion is “Maria trained hard.” That’s where we’re trying to get to, so I know I need to throw that into a necessary position. So in my answer choices I’m looking for …
Is that Powerscore terminology? I can’t entirely remember what those terms mean, but I’m guessing it has something to do with distribution? For me it was a lot more productive to learn how all grouping games are inherently similar rather than how …
