@j.aubrey I would definitely save the new PTs for taking timed tests. Once you have taken those tests, you can reuse them for LG drilling using the foolproof method. When it was available on here, the bundle covered 1-35 and consisted of games that …
@justrandom Per what @DumbHollywoodActor said, I would get on those LG. Shoring up your games will add valuable points to your scaled score. I would work my butt off on them and try to get to -3 or less. Don't ignore you other sections completely, …
I didn't sit for the October exam so I don't know how much help I will be to you, but I have a couple of questions. What is your typical LG score? What was your average PT score before taking October? I think a 4-5 point increase is doable with a lo…
Yeah... no. No smoking. No nicotine patches. Don't search for a cure all for a problem you can fix yourself. Quick fixes are not the answer. Hard work and persistence are the answer. The mental exhaustion will ease off as you take more tests. If I w…
The differences you mentioned above aren't necessarily contradicting each other. In the advanced lessons, JY is explaining what happens to or/not both when placed with conditionals. In the beginning lessons, he is showing what the logical definition…
I agree with @nye8870 . Flashcards are definitely helpful. Everyone is different so find what works best for you and commit the concepts to memory by studying them ad nauseum. The indicators are so important that you can't afford to not be able to r…
Just as a blanket statement, with a mastery of the fundamentals comes a decrease in time required. To exhibit a mastery of those fundamentals you need, that BR needs to be 170+ if not 175+. I think your problem will boil down to your grasp of the i…
If I were a doctor, I would prescribe copious amounts of The LSAT Trainer by Mike Kim. In that amount of time, I think it should open some things up for you. I would hold off drilling until you get through that.
@brittany.rolston Definitely start with it. I would leave the option open to move up to the Ultimate+ if you can swing it. It would be invaluable in the long run. I'm afraid that a timeline of now to February to gain 18 points might be a little tigh…
@Fish0701 . Stick with it. I've heard numerous stories of people under performing. Chalk this up to test anxiety, nervousness, sleep deprivation, etc. The point is.... it happens. Sometimes there's nothing we can do about it. Life is life. What you…
I know the video you are talking about. I had it in my history on YouTube at some point but can't find it now. If I'm remembering correctly, I think he was Asian and mainly spoke about taking test after test. He would take a test, review his mistake…
The "support" is the relationship between the premise and the conclusion. They each have separate jobs that we don't really care about. What we do care about is how they interact with one another. We have to take each at face value and assume they a…

I don't know if I can improve at this test at all
I am a huge believer in maintaining a positive mindset. You have to change this attitude before going at it again. If you convince yourself that you can do it and bust your ass, then …
@Petrichor Congratulations! Its a wonderful program that helps so many people get to where they want to be. Best of luck to you in the admissions process!
IMHO, aside from the practice you get under testing conditions, the most important part of the PT process is the Blind Review. It is during this review that most of your learning will take place. Personally, I think it would be hard for you to do a …
@Petrichor . I didn't know that about either school. I've always been of the opinion that you should provide any and everything that a school requires and nothing that they don't ask for. I feel like the middle is a gray area and therefore taking a …
I'm understanding your question to refer to some RC stems that might ask "The author most likely describes the theory as "blah blah blah" in order to" or "The primary function of the reference "blah blah blah" is to...". If not, please correct me an…
I would go to Ultimate+ if you're able. The explanations for the newer tests would be invaluable to you because the newer tests do seem to be a little different LR wise. The logic and the avenues you use to arrive at the correct answer are still the…

The key is to see that the same types of games call for the same types of inferences.
You're right. And she's right. Each game within each category is essentially the same. They're just genetic clones of one another. Regarding your…
