  • Save the newer ones. You can try saving the older ones, but chances are you will join the ranks of those Amazon reviewers who decided to use the 10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests (PTs from early 90s) to prepare for their LSATs in 2010s. They weren'…
  • Ideally, all law school applicants would be mature. I don't think there's any specific numerical guideline for it. As far as my knowledge is concerned, it vaguely refers to people who worked for +10 years after obtaining their bachelor's, apply to l…

  • I appreciate the explanation, but what I wanted to know was whether "inverse of a positive correlation" is an appropriate terminology. @AngusMcGillis
  • I think it's a reasonable inference to a certain point. I'm not sure the term for that is "inverse of a positive correlation" though. I know there's inverse (i.e. negative) correlation, but inverse of a positive correlation... I was a lowly humanit…
  • My last 10 tests, taken about one day apart, were, respectively: 171, 164, 170, 164, 169, 163, 164, 171, 168, 175. Should I allow a few more days in between my PTs? Has anyone experienced this type of issue? You definitely need more time. …
  • I don't recall seeing a CC lesson dedicated to RC question types. That said, RC questions are basically LR questions ("Function" questions are equivalent to AP questions, for example). If you want me to name specific CC lessons, I personally would p…
  • Take it. If you score really low, then you can take comfort in knowing that you can only go up. Therefore, you have a good reason to keep studying. If you get a decent score, then you are awesome. Again, you have a good reason to keep studying. You …
  • I don't think there's an established numerical guideline regarding race categorization. Of course, some reasonable judgment would be nice. For example, a European American who claims to be an African American solely based on genetic connection to th…
  • @"surfy surf" said: Shh don’t spoil the 70s for me lol. I remember that chairman one. I’ll skim thru the first 20ish and search for them. I just FP’d around 30-50 and I don’t recall many leader grouping games in there. My bad, I thought you …
  • I don't have a list, but PT 78's first set involves a "leader" game. I remember actually taking it on the actual test date and thinking, "Awww yeah, I got this!" And there was that one game involving a chairman and a scientist named Hsu (PT 26, last…
  • Is the point that it will help save time on the test by identifying these common forms? That's one aspect of it. How important is learning these forms? Not very important... only if your goal is 150 or lower. Tackling the LSAT without kno…
  • As far as my experience is concerned, there are two somewhat decent indicators regarding a game's difficulty: The game (1) doesn't yield many inferences, and (2) makes one swear unconsciously under his or her breath. There's no clear cut answer to …
  • I know I'm just starting out, but it's just tough when it keeps taking me longer than it should to get the games solved. Any success stories? I believe those suggested times are for those who are (1) done with CC and (2) scoring 170+ in most (i…
  • Two pages are perfectly acceptable. I saw at least one resume where the applicant (accepted to a T13) used just one bullet for a number of positions.
  • practice tests are not on there until I have completed everything else. Is this correct? Yes. Should I add in some practice tests between some lessons or at least sections (LR, LG, RC)? I feel like I will lose everything I learned if I wait…
  • my diagnostic score was 140. I barely understood any logic game...and guessed on all of them. If i study hard for the next 3-4 months (7 sage cirriculum) and do PTs for 1 month - do you believe I have potential to reach atleast 160 - 165 …
  • @studentservice said: Unfortunately, due to the heavy regulations in the EU, 7Sage is no longer available in the EU starting from May 15. 7Sage is still available elsewhere. This is probably the first instance of the United Kingdom bene…
  • NO NEED TO WORRY. WE WILL ALL BE FINE. MINUS THE STRESS, AND HIGH CAFFEINE INTAKE, AND BALDING, AND OCCASIONAL VOMITING AND CRYING, WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER, AND THEY WILL NOT FUCK WITH US. That escalated quickly! Not that I don't understand…
  • At least some of us have been there. I don't think your achievement is laughable (and I am fairly sure I am not the only one in that regard). Quite the contrary. Testing anxiety does play a part, but I think the bigger concern lies in being confide…
  • "The change was approved by the school’s faculty Monday to encourage students of different backgrounds to apply, according to a press release Wednesday." The school accepted about 5,500 applications last year. That is on par with some T13 schoo…
  • Not exactly a RC experience, but there was this LR question that tripped me up when I first started. One of the answer choices talked about how experts in my field of study aren't able to reach certain conclusions about a specific type of inquiry. A…
  • Depends on which T14s you have in mind (Yale and Stanford, for example, might be a liiiitle bit of a stretch), but I think you will have a decent shot if you manage to score 170+ (or equal to or above a T14's median). 3.5+ is a solid GPA, and you ha…
  • They are the same thing. @"gerth.brooks" said: If all skilled artists equaled 100 Some is an amount between 2-49 Not all is an amount between 1-99 2-49 (X) 1-100 (O) 1-99 (X) 0-99 (O)
  • @"David.Busis" said: I used to think applying in Sept or Oct was vital, but how much of a difference is there when you apply after only 10% of the applications are in vs. 40-50%. So glad you asked! As it happens, we just analyze…
  • I believe the rule of thumb goes as follows: Early is by Thanksgiving, middle by December, and late the rest. how much of a difference is there when you apply after only 10% of the applications are in vs. 40-50%. Depends on many factors. m…
  • @"Return On Inference" said: Have you noticed any other odd ball questions? I haven't taken any PTs in the 50-60s but I'd like to review any unusual questions so I'm not hit off guard on game day None that I remember at the moment.
  • The first 10-20. See the Question Bank Logic Games section, and click "Misc." You should be able to see that the first 10 or so had an unusually high number of unusual games. Their successors had some weird games as well though.
  • I didn't make a list of those argument forms, but I did mark them and plan to revisit them. Some of the questions you mentioned aren't unprecedented. Take PT76 S2 Q18, for example. There is at least one analogy NA question - the good ol' hatha yoga…
