Wow, that's crazy that you find the answer choices on the newer tests more concise @runiggyrun . Almost everyone I've discussed this with has it opposite of you. I guess you've just got an eye for the newer tricks. They seem to do a lot more answers…

The difficulty in the newer LR sections comes from more subtlety worded, deceptive wrong answer choices. The logic is the same and so are the lessons from missed questions. The newer tests are simply less forgiving of your gaps and soft spots. So cl…

Great metaphor.

Yeah be careful with this. While some proctors may allow an exception, the rules are clear about what is allowed and a backpack is not listed. It is legitimate grounds upon which to deny you entrance to the test, so really not a great thing to gambl…
-
@Katurian , yeah you definitely don’t want to know your answer. The problem I have, and so many of us have, is that we get emotionally attached to our answer choices. We really want to have gotten it right so we inevitably approach the question wi…

Agreed with @Pacifico. If you’re just starting out, you don’t need to be taking any PTs at all. Take the diagnostic and see where you’re at. If you’re not within a few points of your target score, September is going to be overly ambitious. You h…

And of course, make sure you’re BRing on a clean copy! Like writing out your reasoning, this is another thing that seems really minor until your actually do it. When you try it the first time, you realize what a drastically different experience it…

If you’ve been studying for two weeks and you’re at a legit, timed 168; you don’t need to be aiming for 170. You need to be aiming for 180.

The fundamental flaw with TM, in my opinion, is that it’s designed to prepare for the for LSAT in 3 months. That just isn’t going to be sufficient for the vast majority of us. If your priority is getting the LSAT done and over with as quickly as p…

The point I'm gathering from this thread is that, of course it can happen. But don't count on it. If you're PTing properly, your PT average is a good indicator of where you're at. If it happens its bonus points. Agree with above comments that if you…

Looks like folks pretty much covered this one. When you're doing PTs, yes, you've got to do it under time. But I will add that when drilling individual sections, many people find it useful to keep time with stopwatch instead of a timer. Let it take …

Woah that's intense @nanchito . That's a legit nightmare. Funny how our brains create those metaphors and connections though. I actually couldn't sleep the other night because of an LSAT question. It was 3 in the morning and I was still lying awake…

Ok good, glad you found that! I was reading your post and was like man, we had a really great thread on this a while back.
-
Was wondering where you were! Glad you’re back:)
-
Congrats, always nice to see hard work paying off! Keep at it and you’ll only get better and ever more consistent!

Guys. There’s currently a Cambridge 41 - 50 on Amazon listed at $3,999. Whoa.

@sweetsecret , Ticonderogas are really weak on the darkness metric. Their benefit is really that they retain their point longer than anything else. If you want a dark lead, you do not want a ticon. Try staedtlers. Super rich and dark.

@"Nicole Hopkins" said: I think a lot of folks benefit from skipping around a bit! Yeah, I really think skipping is the way to go. Even if you're not planning to do the Group BR, @sweetsecret I think the schedule for that is really solid. @swee…

Second @"Ron Swanson" . Just don't neglect your GPA to study for LSAT. And don't take any PTs beyond the diagnostic until you're comfortable with the curriculum.
-
Absolutely @cmelman95 . But why is identifying the differences between newer and older PTs necessary to identify the problem? You identify your weaknesses in the newer tests the same way you do on the older tests. See what you missed and why. Then …
-
Well first, stop taking PTs!! Your PTs are an extremely valuable and finite resources, and you must study logic before using them. I highly recommend the 7Sage curriculum for this, but even the worst prep books are better than nothing. I think it's …
-
Yeah, it’s pretty much exactly like those individual PTs.
-
@cmelman95 said: I'm trying so hard to figure out what the differences are. I just can't seem to pin down a weakness and attack it. Urgh Why do you need to establish the differences between early and later tests to do this? See what you missed an…
-
@"Nicole Hopkins" said: This is why we skip around so much in the BR groups! Yep. You also want to foolproof the more recent games sooner rather than later. They throw in some curveballs and it’s not something you want to encounter too late in t…

Well, how have you studied for LR so far?
