Hi @cassiezbylut, Thanks for sharing your story and letting some of us know about some of these heavy feelings! The test is not easy for most people, and some of it is downright hard. It makes a lot of sense that adding in your other professional r…

A great podcast to listen to. Thanks for sharing.

I didn't go through the whole CC here, so I decided to buy Ellen Cassidy's book. I recommend it because I believe it simplifies a lot of question types and how to approach them. I personally like having books instead of just watching videos, so her …

I recommend reading and doing the drills in Ellen Cassidy's The Loophole in Logical Reasoning. I also think LR is a buildable skill like anything else; so, practice, practice, and practice. I would say it's important to redo the questions you got wr…

Thanks for the reminder on classroom etiquette! Type A people can be the most positive and uplifting community if we choose it to be. Best of luck in law school!

Hi @LegallyBrunette21, what's worked for me is just reading some guides on reading comprehension online. I recommend Steve Schwartz's podcasts and the Manhattan Prep book. I've worked with some different tutors for RC, and they were helpful. But onc…

(C) has a neutral effect on the stimulus. It's not weakening the claim that by implementing peer review, biologists have been able to increase protection from incidences of scientific fraud. What (C) is saying is that even if we have a system of pe…

I think you have this a bit backwards: "All" implies "most" which implies "some." Recall that "some" just means "at least one."

@"David.Busis" said: @griff23d Anyone at all—a relative, supervisor, friend. Thanks for applying! Super helpful! This also answers my question. I was thinking of asking a friend to vouch for my story.

Symbolic logic TA here. In brief: "Not all" and "some are not" are logically equivalent. The symbolization of "not all" is a negation of a conditional. This is equivalent to a conjunction in which one conjunct is negated. Example: Not all humans a…

I started with a 149 diagnostic. My PT average is in the high-160s, and low-170s now. Note: I still have not yet taken the official test.

Hats off to him! What a great story.

YAY GLEN! Congratulations on all of the success with law school. Your podcast episode with J.Y. coupled with your generous responses via the DMs have really helped keep me positive during these weird pandemic times. Thank you for sharing a little bi…

Right, I knew this podcast was going to happen at sometime or another. Great talk, Daniel

Like others have said, LR takes time. I recommend you look at your 7Sage analytics of your prep tests. Then, you should DRILL like crazy. I can't stress how important daily drilling is.
-
For necessary assumptions, one quick tip is to see what is mentioned in the premise that is NOT mentioned in the conclusion. That way, you determine the gap in reasoning.

PhD student here. I'm not sure what the culture is like where you're from, but in Canada (where I'm from) it's generally normal to get a reference from a PhD student. This is quite normal, especially if the PhD has had experience in teaching or has …

Slow and steady wins the race!

Hi, you might be interested in a podcast that Malcolm Gladwell did on this topic.

I haven't taken the LSAT formally but I've committed to taking as long as I need in order to consistently score within my goal range.
-
Call LSAC. I hope you get better soon. A possible concussion can be pretty serious.

I would say drill, drill, drill problem sets. And then drill some more. If you had more time, I might have suggested to read some books on philosophical logical fallacies---because that's basically what most of LR is.
-
Merry Christmas! Well, it depends on your final LSAT score, cGPA, as well as personal statement. If these are all within in the statistic range of the T5 American law schools you're applying to, then yes.

Perfect, thanks for this, James.

All the best!

Wow!! This is great news for the community. Great work @yudu_zang

Good reminders, Jimmy.

Wow, congratulations, Chris. This is a great achievement!

I'm interested. Thanks for doing this.
