Yeah same here, have been studying full-time since May and meanwhile scoring in the 170's, but I discovered how in the last 2-3 PT's my brain was just on autopilot-mode during LR and didn't really read the questions. Took a two-day break where I did…

Thanks!

Stem first. Period. I also read here and there that it is supposedly more efficient to read the stimulus first, with the reasoning that you end up reading the stem twice if you do otherwise... I don‘t understand this reasoning at all to be honest,…

How have you been studying? If you have been taking timed tests day by day since your cold-diagnostic without rigorously reviewing them: stop, you're doing it the wrong way. Please go through JY's core curriculum, familiarize yourself with the ide…

Two options, written in decreasing priority: Reach out to your professors and explain the situation. Really, it doesn't even have to be a professor for whom you did research or so. Look at your transcript, pick the subjects where you have an A or …

(just realized the post is 7 years old lol)

Yup. I head headache during the 2nd half of the test which might affected my performance, but RC absolutely threw me off here. Scored 177, 174 and 176 on PT 62, 63 and 64 respectively before, and fell to 171 on PT 65. LR: -1, -2. LG: -2. RC: -7.…

The conditions which are independently sufficient to make you re-do a LG (as defined by J.Y.) are as follows: You missed at least one question You did not finish it within the proposed time limit (7sage video or analytics). You do not feel 100% co…

Too lazy to read the LR question or the comments above, but: for a right AC, it is allowed to attack the premise of an argument. It's just that in 99.9% of the time, LSAC doesn't do it because then the question would be too easy. What they frequent…

Read articles from The Economist, re-do Logic Games, eventually do older RC passages, and run other errands.

Do you need to guess the last couple questions at the end because you run out of time? If so: While you are reading the stimulus, try to visualize in your head what's going on. Especially in long, convoluted stimuli, this will prevent you from hav…

Don't focus on speed at the beginning, but on accuracy instead! Speed increase should ideally be nothing but a by-product of competency.

@lsatprincess I did no cold diagnostic test, as I do not really see any value in taking a test without preparation at all... The LSAT is a learnable test, and I'm sure almost anyone can make it to 170+ if they invest enough effort. I wrote the suff…

@Logician said: D) This is our correct answer choice. Firstly, it does not even indicate whether these voters pay taxes or not so its pretty much useless. Secondly, we do not care about their opinions on increasing taxes (especially if we do…

@Sami thanks so much for your explanation! Classical example of how LSAT knows what kind of assumptions humans make I also wrongly went for C, although not entirely sure how it wrecks the argument. My process of thought was that if CPUE is, let's …
-
It took me some time to go for C, because I was thinking that even if some of the high-number products used to be low-number products, it might still be a better option to go for the low-number products. Though, there is a tiny key-word in the stim…

Also got fooled and picked D, but indeed Mary is not a practicing veterinarian, but a veterinary student. Though, I picked E on my second try. Is E wrong because it says the SOLE intention? We know that Mary definitely had the intention to kill the…

Interesting question, I picked a wrong AC because I also was not sure about what the main conclusion is. I thought that it was the first part of the very first sentence ("The question...imprecise,"), but, taking a closer look, the whole first senten…

Why is B wrong? Isn't "all fast-breathing animals are warm-blooded" not a general principle that is used to draw a conclusion (=doubt whether dinosaurs are more similar to reptiles than to other classes of animals) about a particular case (=dinosaur…
-
Thanks, I found two additional academic recommenders meanwhile, so all good.
-
Push. At least written explanations would facilitate our learning process (especially a legitimate request for those who are paying money for the service).
-
Sorry, I might be wrong, but for C: I interpreted "not as old as" either "younger" or "older". The majority of the sycamores are older than any maples, and all maples are older than any dogwoods, therefore at least some sycamores must be older (=no…
-
Thanks, the explanation definitely helps. I also got this question wrong by choosing D, but none of the AC seemed really attractive to me. I think the way how LSAC wants the test takers to be fooled here is to stick to the relation between water qu…
