you can use one but don't do it.. just use your pencil, highlighters suck for the LSAT
I agree with this for RC personally. But I find highlighters really useful for certain logic games! Specifically games that aren't fully f…
It doesn't. But "adding to our understanding" is compatible with could someday offer a "complete solution."
I've had quite a few quarrels with the wording of certain correct RC ACs, so I think I get your frustration. But this question, IMHO, is not…
I did this PT yesterday so this is still very fresh... it's an inference within a Main Point question. The fact that the passage reads "may add to our understanding..." and answer choice (C) says "could someday be extended to a complete solution to …

I took the September 2017 LSAT and didn’t do as well as I wanted. I just did a blind review and did slightly better, but I tracked my incorrect answers and discovered that the ones I miss are where I have the choices nar…
Bumping this to ask a more specific bubbling question -- does anybody set aside a separate "bubbling pencil" that's already dull before the beginning of the test? If not, would you personally consider this strategy?
I find filling in Scantrons with…
Check out how Graeme Blake tackles parallel reasoning questions! He offers free explanations, used to work for 7Sage, and I'd say his specialty is teaching you the speed factor for LR.
An example I rememeber off the cuff is he discarded 2/5 AC's by…
@acsimon, I made a note to wait for your answer on this thread after seeing your post-September LSAT post. Great stuff. Also, I recall you saying you hit well above your initial target score of 167+; I don't want to be presumptive, but -- based on y…
If it helps you to study without timing yourself (e.g. doing BR untimed), still try practicing techniques that get you to the answer more efficiently. For example, getting more comfortable with "envisioning" how certain ACs play out rather than writ…
Another consideration for setting a target score is your post CC PT performance. A lot of people talk about their "potential" for improvement in relation to their "cold" -- or diagnostic -- score. But since the LSAT is so mechanical/learn-able, I th…
Thanks for the input, @akistotle! I never even considered timing accommodations. I don't know if I'll go through with it... but between providing the links and deadline you've been very helpful. I also appreciate your opinion on how "serious" it sou…
At the beginning of the CC, J.Y. tells us to start studying for the LSAT without a set date in mind, then sign up once you feel you are "ready" (either "ready" to perform your best or "ready" to perform decent enough for your target score). I think …
Would there be some sort of advantage to doing this?
I've contacted LSAC and they said I can bring the eye patch. I didn't have to go through the accommodation paperwork; they just told me they'd write a note in my profile in case the proctor gave …
If you're okay with throwing two hundred bucks away (I'm assuming you are, since you're about throw tens of thousands at law school), I'd sign up for both the December and February tests.
Do not rush the CC, spend the amount of time needed getting …

You said you're on a free account? 7Sage's Admissions Course is only $15 and there's a good amount of practical tips in there... and also some inspiring drafts. You should consider giving it a go!
That is a very insightful consideration @"Cant Get Right". I won't take it lightly!
I'm still not convinced the single narrative method is as applicable to these particular schools as it is to others. Hence I still feel pressured to force a few ach…
It is refreshing to know that you subvocalize nearly everything, J.Y.
While keeping subvocalization to a minimum would be an "ideal" for RC passages, it comes with a major caveat -- that you understand what the hell you're reading! But I do think t…
