@bananabo said: @"Cant Get Right" Unless it's given as a conclusion, of course, then that's a whole other issue! Ohhh, I think I understand. So, if we look at these two arguments: 1) The more ice cream sales, the more sw…

@bananabo said: @"Chris Nguyen" @"Cant Get Right" Does a “the more A, the more B” statement always imply that there is a relationship between the A and B? Absolutely it does. It's just a relationship which doesn't require causation. Whe…

Yeah, these can get really complicated. You can actually graph them on an x and y axis, and you'll see that "the more . . . the more . . ." does indeed result in an inference of "the less . . . the less . . . ." One thing the test writers sometimes…

No!! Don’t speed up your reading speed! If anything it looks to me like you need to slow it down. I am a native speaker. I have a degree in English Literature. I scored -0 on RC on my official LSAT. I will be completing my JD from Northwestern in a…

Yeah, I average about a 4:00 minute read time. 3:15 is about where I max out, but I can go 5:00+ when I have to. To figure out time management, start by committing to understand the passage. That’s not the place to cut time. If you don’t comprehend…

Agreed with @KevinLuminateLSAT . I just want to specifically reinforce that you're going to need to bring down your accuracy rate, lol. That sounds counter-intuitive, but if you double your error rate and finish the section, you're going to do so mu…

The first thing you've got to address is just getting your BR score up. That's really your theoretical max, so it needs to be comfortably and consistently above your target score. For 165+ I'd really want to see that in the lower-mid 170's. So that'…

@"Ms.LeeSanz" said: I flag 2-3 questions that I get right. Ok, that’s reasonably healthy. If you had a ton of those it’d be a different matter. Otherwise, I agree it’s a good correlation. @"Ms.LeeSanz" said: Thank you! I was thinking…

How many questions you get right are you flagging?

Hey, congrats and welcome! I’ll be graduating Northwestern this year! If you’re in Chicago in the next few weeks and would like a tour, let me know!

One thing I always found important in BR was to fully articulate my reasoning. I didn’t just re-work the question, I wrote out full reports on each question where I broke down the logical structure of the stimulus, identified and explained the natur…

It can be a complicated relationship because a tutor should be telling you things that aren’t necessarily obvious to you, and sometimes things that may feel counter-intuitive. Otherwise you wouldn’t need the tutor in the first place. She has insight…

Iowa and Washington St. Louis give out tons of money. I don’t know where they get this money from, but they give out big money scholarships that cover full tuition or more to about 30% of their students. Other schools, like Harvard, may not give out…

With a decent diagnostic, relatively modest target score, and only three months to study, Logic Games is almost certainly where you need to focus most. It probably represents the largest cache of points which can be most quickly and reliably added t…

@Arete_Southbay said: @"Cant Get Right" thank you for sharing your wisdom a follow up question. Am currently studying for June and have only foolproofed CC, should I still go back and start from where the CC left off or focus on foolproofing t…

Old ones! Don’t go anywhere near newer games until you’ve cut your teeth on the old ones first. You’re learning and you don’t want to trash high value, recent games on making all the stupid mistakes you need to make while learning the basics.

I think supplementing LR can make sense because everything is fundamentally the same. 7Sage covers everything really well, but other resources can add some value through offering things up a little differently. I really like how the Trainer is organ…

WAY too many PT’s. Even when I was studying full time and beginning to break into the 170’s, I was struggling to keep up with trying to do two. If you’re doing that many, you’re not doing any meaningful BR or follow up or analysis. The PT itself isn…

You’re asking a really insightful question, but framing it in terms of how to read faster is a big red flag. If you’re trying to manage the clock by racing against time, you’re never going to perform at your highest potential because speed comes at …
-
That’s normally going to be about a -6 or -7, or at least that’s how it worked out on a four section test. But it really does depend on the test. It can vary a lot. 174 is starting to get into the range where, really, you’re talking about a 180 wit…
-
7Sage got me to the upper-mid 160’s timed with consistent 180 BR. I think I’d eventually have gotten the rest of the way on my own, but my tutor was able to inform me of whole aspects of the test I didn’t even realize existed before. As my BR shows,…

That would be properly classified as a flaw question, but you are onto something important. NA questions do require flawed arguments, and the difference between a Flaw and NA question may not always be a particularly meaningful one. An NA question c…

Just added the zoom link for this. See folks soon.

POSTPONE!

I love this question so much. This really gets at the complexity of language. The answer to your question is, "It depends." And that's either a really fascinating or deeply frustrating answer, lol. Language is not obligated to be clear and concis…

My Contracts professor asked us if the use of “if” versus “only if” made a difference in the terms of a contract. Answer: “probably not.” He was a federal judge for a decade and authored both my Contracts textbook and supplement. And I’m not sugge…

You should definitely know what the question stem is asking you. That isn’t always accomplished by rote memorization of question type, but that can be a really good start. From there, how you proceed might depend on your goal score and present leve…
-
The first thing is to determine specifically what your weaknesses are. From there, you've got to craft exercises that will be well-suited to addressing them. So start by listening to the PT to really hear what it's telling you. If you're just starti…

Congrats on all the progress so far. You're obviously working hard and effectively to have improved as much as you have already. I tend to divide studying into three main phases based on PT/BR score comparison. The focus of the first phase should b…

Looks like you've got it. It does take both C and D to trigger the contrapositive, and when you have B, you don't know which of /C or /D or both you might have. Depending on what all else is going on, I'd probably want to split on B and be done wit…
