The best time to take it when you are scoring in practice where you want to be scoring on the real deal. The other stuff is completely irrelevant until you can consistently replicate the score you want. If taking the test now means scoring lower, yo…

GI asked me a similar question in PM, and I'll tell you what I told him - it may be worth your while to discuss this with a tutor. Many more details need to be filled in before any advice more individualized than "you have to practice" can be genera…

A top score of 161 means that you're getting at least 25 questions wrong per test. Do you really, truly understand every single error you've ever made? Drilling means nothing without the proper analysis behind it. If you're feeling burnt out, that…

Exactly. The tactic of bringing up clashing survey results obviously has its place, but only in certain discussions. Whether or not something is a flaw is completely reliant on the thing you're trying to prove and its relationship to the information…

Using another study isn't blanket right or wrong; you have to evaluate it in the context of the argument it's being put into. Re-read the conclusions you're trying to draw in each case and think about how they differ; this should put you on the righ…

Yeah. I had to do it a few days ago.

Clear your browser cache. It's just old temp files mucking up the works.

If you're taking 13 minutes per game, then you can't possibly say that they're not hard. For you, at least, they are clearly hard. There is no such thing as "just" having difficulty making inferences - that's the entire point of the section. Do not …

Look at a question that you consider to be easy. How do you see the right answer so quickly, when perhaps a lower scorer would struggle? Well, high scorers are just doing that with the questions that you find difficult. Just like you see the logic t…

i imagine the humor comes in how outlandish the thought process would have to be to even get into the general vicinity of some of these choices.

Let's say the negation of 'all' was 'none'. You've now accounted for two possibilities - exactly 100% and exactly 0%. What about all the stuff in the middle? Are we just ignoring it? Review the lesson on negations and how they differ from opposite…

If I tell you that not all apples are delicious, is that the same as saying there isn't a single apple that is delicious ("none" of the apples are delicious)? How many apples are we 100% sure are not delicious when "not all" of them are?

If you're loose enough on test day to laugh out loud at the test, I'd argue that you're in a pretty good spot.

If your memory is good enough, you can do the whole thing from memory. Sadly, mine was never quite that good. I personally refer back to the passage a fair amount, but it never takes me very long because I always know where to go and what I'm lookin…

You'll need to cannibalize a section from another test (preferably one you haven't seen before), and make it section 1. I like to have my students insert a section of the type that they have the most difficulty with, for maximum mental fatigue.

JY did an admirable job for a long time (including answering questions on my videos - sorry dude!), but it ultimately just isn't possible for either of us to keep up with every question. I intend to be more active in the general discussion (thanks f…

Read the "LSAT Mid-Life Crisis" thread for a detailed response on this topic; the question is substantially the same. The short version: critical self-evaluation is necessary to figure out the particular things that are causing you to be slow, becau…

That's what you find out in your review process. Not only are you responsible for figuring out the answers, you're responsible for figuring out how you were supposed to know what to do in the first place. Go beyond "this is the logic" and ask yourse…

Good try, michellemoon, but that's not quite right. "Until" is the conditional indicator here. Group 3. The two concepts are "No A is B" and "C is both D and E". In other words, the conditional statements (A -> /B) and (C -> D and E) are the …

You cannot leave it at "it's just stress because test day is coming". You're going to be stressed on test day too. You need to figure out what mistake you made under pressure, not just dismiss it because you can do it in hindsight. These are some of…

There are a lot of factors that go into speed in RC and LR. Are you getting hung up by vocabulary, or by grammar, or by some combination of the two? Are you having trouble understanding the argument's structure/the author's method of reasoning? Are …

Of course it's always going to be clearer to re-write everything, and that's a great thing to do in practice. But not only is it a time waster on a timed run, you really shouldn't need to. At the very least you should be able to work off of writing …

The general rule is that committee members don't need to be directors. The first half gives you the lone exception to this rule - the chairperson. Just rearrange the two halves this way: "Such committee members need not be Directors, except for the …

Yes, it is possible if LG is truly your only weakness. But 5 tests a week is certifiably insane, and largely worthless to boot. Don't do it - there is nothing but frustration, burnout, and wasted prep material waiting for you. If you need to drill …

Plenty of good advice in this thread. My addition to the mix - break it up. In sports, athletes do two-a-days because two two-hour practices wind up being infinitely more productive than one four-hour practice. Your brain is subject to the same type…

You can cancel or move your registration until the day before the exam, though after a certain date you forfeit your registration fee. Don't feel compelled to take the test just because you've already put up some money, though. If you're not ready, …

Three tests a week means you're doing a full test-review cycle every other day, with one day reserved for drilling/meeting a tutor/resting. That's barely doable even if you have nothing else at all to do. Three full tests a week on top of a full-tim…

Echoing JY's sentiment - really fun to meet you all in person! And unlike our resident globetrotter, I'm here in NYC full time; I wonder if we could do something like this on a more regular basis. Also very happy to see some community ties and netwo…
