This is not an assumption, it's just a possibility!
But the argument for the explanation of the flaw in the stimulus is assuming that that possibility is the only possibility, right?

imagine that Ben Carson and Martin O'Malley win their respective parties nominations and nobody else is running in the general.
But aren’t you making a false dichotomy flaw with this example? What if we lived in a country with a no…
You can view the answer. All you need to do is select the specific question. Video explanations are incredibly time consuming. And with the demand of explanations for PT 76, it could be a while before the early PT questions get video explanations. B…

From what I understand, you went to this well-known consultant, asked her HOW MUCH weight the LSAT has, and then got into an argument about whether it SHOULD be that way.
Nice callout on the descriptive/prescriptive flaw.
They are different. The first one is a classic sufficiency/necessity confusion. The second one is inferring that something has occurred to a part of an entity merely because that something has occurred to the whole entity. Perhaps the 6% salary redu…

Is there a recommendation for meditation app?
I use the Sam Harris meditations that 7Sage recommends: http://classic.7sage.com/lesson/winning-the-psychological-battle/
I’d advise stopping taking PTs. Finish the curriculum and read the LSAT Trainer. Do LG PTs 1-35 after that. Then restart PTs. After 5 PTs, use the Analytics feature to note any question types still giving you trouble and drill them in between PTs.

Know that you’re not alone with your frustration with this test.
As for your question, first let’s get some more info: what’s your score breakdown in each section (average)? What’s your BR score?
Hey, I’m still in Vacation mode. Here’s what we should do: you come up with a first draft, a.k.a. the really really difficult part. Then, I'll tell you what's wrong with it. Good plan? :-)
One of these days, (probably once I ‘m done actually taking the LSAT) I’d like to go through and make a modified Trainer/7Sage Schedule. I think it’s possible.
Congrats on the 180! What a great accomplishment! Some thoughts...

Mental Approach
The LSAT is a mental beast. I don’t mean in terms of the difficulty, that mental aspect is obvious. The less obvious one is the one that kills you j…
You want to “touch” all of them. The question is for how long. Develop a feeling of what 1:20 feels like. Ideally, no one question should ever get more than that amount of time on your first go around. You can also save some time in the bank by givi…
@c.janson35 I totally want to join your Book Club! Reading the Great Dissent right now and loving it. Such great contextualization of the primary documents.
I do them all. I can learn of a confidence error once I’ve come to a question that I’ve changed during BR but didn’t circle during the timed test. For me, almost every confidence error is a misread, so I like having a second chance to catch that mis…

Uh oh. I bet this just caused an attack of some sort for @nicole.hopkins .
I really liked Manhattan LR too, especially its categorization of wrong answer types. I’m not sure I’d go so far as to say it’s better than Trainer, bu…
So far, only a small few have clicked on to the Skype link. Just want to remind people that no matter if you've friended me on Skype, if you haven't clicked the link above, you won't be able to join the group BR Skyoe conversation. Thanks.
