I actually don't like prephrasing on Strengthen/Weaken questions. To me, these are the hardest question types on the whole test and it's important to go into the answer choices with an open mind. I focus on understanding the argument and "seeing" th…
I go -0 on LR fairly frequently. It's harder to perfect than LG and nearly impossible to do with the same level of consistently, but yeah, -0 in LR is totally possible. What's strange about it is that the only way to do it is you have to be 100% com…

Doesn't that mean we are looking for a statement that Taylor believes in and Sandra disagrees with?
Not necessarily, although I totally see where your reading is coming from. They could probably have worded this better.…
You can't identify something as an overconfidence error until you know you've missed it. An overconfidence error is a question that you didn't mark for BR but missed. So other than scoring the test, there's no other way to identify OC errors for rev…
@Mr.lopez said:
do you move on to the next question?
Yes. Once I've got the right answer, I move on immediately. With my extra time at the end, I'll return to eliminate remaining answer choices if I don't have any other priorities. If I miss one I…
Agreed with @DEC_LSAT and @"Darth Jurist" . If you're early on in your studies, timing isn't something you need to worry too much about now. Learn the fundamentals, and deal with timing when you get there. It's a big challenge for everyone and there…
For most types of grad programs, you'd want specific. With Law though, admissions understand that we're applying to multiple programs with the same letters and so letters using a general address are perfectly fine.

Don't try to think faster. You can't directly do this. You'll only succeed at rushing and making knuckle head mistakes.
This is where I screwed up so badly for so long. Speed doesn't come from literally going really reall…
After you've reviewed all the questions you circled, you are ready to score your exam. Plug everything into analytics, and see what happens. From here, we identify our OC errors and return to them. Rework the question very carefully. Break down the …
1. In asking my profs for letters, I offered to supply them with whatever material they needed. Some of them made requests, some of them didn't.
2. You have to actively assign letters. Go to: Apply > Credentials > Letters of Recommendation an…

I can't attach myself to this concept
Yeah, it took me weeks to finally implement it. It was incredibly difficult.

I haven't noticed a drop in ability because of that.
Can't see a drop without establishing a …
I don't think there is a way to filter based on that. Look and see which new PTs you've gained access to and from there, you'll just have to filter mentally and skip over questions from older PTs. That's the best I can figure, but maybe someone else…
Yeah, I second @"The 180 Bro_OVO" . I followed a very strict routine of sleep, diet, and exercise during my prep in order to ensure that I was in peak mental, physical, and emotional form going into a test. It seems a little extraneous, but it was r…
I'm really excited to see these groups expand and grow! The BR Calls were really an essential part of my success, and as we make them increasingly more dynamic, they're only to going to get better and better.

I also noticed that the ones that I'm overly confident with on the PT's I tend to miss and I just completely misunderstood the stimulus under the pressure of time.
Yeah, for me, this usually meant that I wasn't as sharp and focuse…
Another great exercise to do concerning splitting is to split the same game along different rules. Sometimes, I make bad decisions about when and where to split. Practice on working games through based off of bad splitting decision does several thin…
Hey, looks like there's several comments on your other thread on this topic, so going to close this one in order to keep the conversation consolidated onto one thread.
Knowing when to split and when not to is a vital skill to LG success. I've got several guidelines that I follow:
1. Can I see that a split will lead to inferences and the placement of some other game pieces? If so, a split may very well be worth pu…
Page number is technically unlimited, but they do like to see that you've got the good judgement to limit it anyway. Personally, I'd set an absolute maximum of four pages for these "unlimited" essays.
And the other schools applied to section is for…
It can, but you may want to consider whether or not the paragraph is really needed if you don't have any more to say on it. A lot of times when I write a paragraph that short, I'll realize that I can usually do better to consolidate it with the prec…
You're definitely in a good place. Looks like you've got a pretty solid foundational understanding, although you do need to get LG to a point where it doesn't matter what kind of game they throw you.
On LR, are you running out of time, or are you g…
This looks fairly comprehensive. It's important to keep an open mind with Strengthen and Weaken questions. They have the potential to be the most subtle types on the entire test, so it can take a little creativity on the really hard ones. But this s…
