If you know the logic and are still struggling, then you're probably having trouble identifying your terms. A ---> B is a lot easier to work with than all the convoluted grammatical structures and referential phrasing they use in LSAT stims. So…

Hey @"Jennifer N" , we actually changed the schedule and are doing 78 on Wednesday.

Few is just so problematic in logical terms. For the purposes of the LSAT, we can mostly just say that it's equivalent to "some" and move on, but even this is highly problematic. Check out PT 1 Section 4 Question 21 Answers D & E for a great e…

@LSATKingsman said: "(B)relies on the assumption" that there "(E)is no other cause for sleeping problems during sleep" Well, B relies on an assumption that basically assumes the conclusion is already true. The conclusion is that removing tonsils …

Yeah, 78 on Wednesday. I couldn't figure out how to change it on the calendar, haha.

I'd say 157 minimum. Outside of the numbers, it sounds like you would be a very attractive candidate. 157 is a point above their median LSAT, so it would allow you to offer them something to make up for the GPA. You've just got to give them somet…

I think the important thing that close to time is to just understand that you're out of time to make significant improvements. The temptation to make some kind of heroic last minute push to produce some kind of movie-ending breakthrough can be real…

@"Alex Divine" At this point, if there's a concept I can't express as a conditional, I have yet to come across it.
-
Well, what's your target score and how important is it to you that you reach it?

@KevinSage said: I feel like burnout creeps up on me a little more easily than when I first started studying for this thing. Absolutely it does.

Nice. Do sleep though. Gotta stay sharp!

Hey @Saldamando150 . So we've gone away from the test specific groups. It got weird and really counterproductive. I think one week the June and September groups were actually doing the same PT and the June group didn't have enough people show up …

@jaymasonman13 said: I am still a little confused on exactly how many of the problem sets to do though. You basically suggest doing 2-3 sets per question type? So the number of problem sets you do is a conditional. If you've gotten to conditiona…
-
Yeah, that's going to be a problem at Yale and that's about it. NYU claims to average your scores, but we'll see about that. Other than that no one else even pretends like they care about anything but your highest score. Your high score is the on…

@"Tina Cho" said: Ohh I see...so until 36=old, after that=new? Not exactly. It's a spectrum, so there really isn't a clean dividing point. 36 is just where we arbitrarily start PTing. You could also say that 52 is where the "new," modern tests …
-
I've only taken one of these, but the general consensus is they're all kinda weird. So I wouldn't worry too much about it if it's an outlier. Just treat it like normal and try to learn whatever lessons it can teach you.
-
Yeah, different eras have their own distinct flavors. The newer tests tend to have a lot more subtlety in the answer choices. That's the main difference. I will say though: @KevinSage said: felt like I was just reading words and not understandin…
-
Oh yeah, don't even. If PR can't even be bothered to pay the licensing fees for real LSATs, I'm really skeptical as to how much resources they devote to creating a mock PT even remotely approaching legitimate.
-
Like others have said, just be yourself. Definitely know how you'd answer any of the standard questions, but the advantage of a face-to-face meeting is much more about feel. I think your best possible outcome here is that y'all really click person…

Oh, another note on upload speed @Micaela_OVO . I read that the Opera browser was supposed to be specifically designed to max up/download speeds. I started using it instead of Safari, and it actually made a significant difference. I don't at all …

@jaymasonman13 said: Do you also recommend that I go through the lessons more than once? That would take quite a bit of time.... ? Start by going through the curriculum slow and steady: Really try to master every concept before you move on. You…
-
Yeah, I was totally jealous of the kid with the 64s. So many colors they literally just start making shit up. Purple Mountain’s Majesty!? WTF!? It even has the sharpener on the back. That kid was always the coolest kid in class. What a badass.
-
There's no magic number @katherine.t . I'd suspect a majority of 170+ scorers take basically all of the PTs, but I think that's just what high scorers do, not that that's necessarily what it takes to become a high scorer. Everyone's rate of improvem…

One thing to remember about the curriculum is that you're just learning so much information. You aren't going to go come out the other side with everything on lockdown and you will have to revisit the curriculum many many times after you finish. The…

Yeah I pretty much stay at home. I have a very similar setup to @"Alex Divine" . I've taken a few PTs in coffee shops, to train with some distraction, but for the most part I think home has been best for me.

@siheaso said: Did I make the right decision? Totally.
-
It really just depends. Tons of people plan for September and wait way too late to start studying. If this applies to you, then no, you won't score well in September. I've been studying for 18 months if that puts it into some perspective. I star…

I think the Etsy shop is a really great resume item, so definitely include that. Tons of people work until starting school, so I don't think the in-school work rule will even cross their mind. For your LoR, that really sucks the one prof did that t…
