Hot take warning!
To me, test-taking strategies can be split into two broad categories - strategies that supplement fundamentals, and strategies that attempt to substitute for fundamentals.
Things like bubbling one spread of pages at a time, brac…
The question doesn't make sense.
Blind review is theoretically your maximum score on a given test, so doing better than your blind review just indicates that you got very, very lucky on things that you probably didn't quite understand. But, as you…
Maybe I can lend some insight -
I think I heard JY say once that he's like the fat old coach yelling instructions from the sidelines and you guys are the players on the field trying to execute. I find that to be relatively apt. The truth of it is …
There is never a question where the only way you can answer it is by elimination.
The premises tell you that washing something under high temperatures puts it back into its natural state. Nothing happens to polyester when washed under high heat. S…
(IE -> PU) -> OM is right and would be how I'd represent it. Pretty standard embedded conditional statement.
I'm on the fence about whether the IE + OM -> PU interpretation is correct, but I lean toward no. If the word 'but' wasn't prese…
By using your rule of thumb, you're suggesting that there isn't a single instance ever where "A most B" would be necessary in order to draw a conclusion. Not a single one. What is your basis for such a bold claim?
Off the top of my head: The only t…
Some rich people have the means to hire ethically-challenged folks to do all the work for them. That's just a fact of life, as UMich's website acknowledges. But as long as you're getting actual editing and consulting and not "editing and consulting …
Your mechanical skills are the foundation upon which your overall competence is built. To use your voice lesson example (I am a violinist, so I can semi-relate): you may get scolded for thinking too much of technique while trying to sing, but someho…
There's no exact way to discount. I wouldn't use it at all if you have other tests in that general range that were completely fresh. Barring that, and assuming that the result is not completely out of whack with what you're doing on other, fresh tes…
I agree with the general sentiment that teaching material to lower-scoring folks is highly beneficial to top scorers. But dismissing OP's desire to work with like-achieving folks as an attempt to create a "mutual admiration society" (and related imp…
I'm not sure what good "it's just luck of the draw, be satisfied with what you have" is to a person who's asking specifically about how to push the envelope.
If your goal is 180, there's simply no such thing as 'good enough' anymore. You need to be…
Is it weird that the first thing that came to my mind was "hey, there's an RC passage about this"?
Which there is, by the way. Centered around the failures of previous iterations of this technology, obviously, but the subject matter is definitely t…
You mentioned that post-undergrad, you were desperate to start law school right away and so you took the test even though you knew you weren't ready. You acknowledge that it was ill-conceived and the result was predictable.
So, the million-dollar …
The moment John Oliver said "statistically significant correlation", I imagined a legion of LSAT students all seeking out the nearest corner and sitting there huddled and mumbling "correlation is not causation, correlation is not causation, correlat…
To me, it doesn't matter one bit that you circled the right letter the first time around, because your inability to prove it on blind review means that you didn't get it right for the right reasons. You might as well have just guessed.
"Overthinki…
What does luck have to do with anything?
Did you misread something? Well, you shouldn't have. Misinterpreted an answer choice? Shouldn't have. Misapplied a concept? Shouldn't have. Failed to understand the flaw? Shouldn't have. Not enough time to …
