We need to reframe the issue a bit. 'Overthinking' is not the problem. If you blame 'overthinking', then you're suggesting that more time to think about the problem is a bad thing. It's not that you're 'overthinking' - you're thinking wrong. It has…

Short version is that LSAC changed their licensing scheme, so now all courses are required to go through Prep Plus.

If you're concerned and don't want to ruffle any feathers, use a blue or green highlighter (not yellow, for obvious reasons). Shows up well and serves the same purpose. I have no idea why highlighters are still permitted and pens still forbidden no…

You're getting hung up on whether the answer choice is descriptively accurate and are completely missing answering the question's task, which is to find the main point. Let's give the answer choice the most generous possible benefit of the doubt an…

Don't apply early decision unless there's a guaranteed scholarship attached, and don't set your heart on a test date until you're good enough at the test that your target score is within striking distance.

I don't know either of you and am therefore not particularly invested in the outcome, but I've been doing this for almost a decade now and have been on the receiving end of this enough to say that the opportunity cost of setting up a lesson time and…

They're both definitely necessary assumption questions. Don't let the presence of the phrase "properly drawn" fool you. The question is asking what is necessary (needed/must be) in order for you to get to a perfect conclusion. It never asks you to …

Spot on.

Would you trust a doctor who told you that he had no way to back it up, but he just 'knew' he had to remove your lung to cure your cold? If not, why should I trust you when you say you 'know' what this sentence says even though you can't prove it (a…

Yes, and in fact that is precisely what you are supposed to do. Indicators are meant to activate your thought process, not substitute for it. Conveniently, memorizing the indicators is also made easier if you understand why each word means what it …

Oh and this guy is even worse : This is like when Kaplan tells you to read the first and last sentences of each paragraph in RC and it'll be enough.

The nominal reason I'm posting is to highlight that there is such a thing as going too fast, so you need to be very careful once you return to actively trying to pick up your pace that you aren't sacrificing your newly developed skills to do so. Bu…

I'll give a slightly different perspective on this. Most people don't really think about this because time is such a big issue on this test, but I will submit that there is such a thing as going too fast. And I think that finishing a section in 25 m…

In most cases there is no reconsideration possible, so it's probably just bad email filtering (probably just grabbed a list of everyone who was taking in Feb and didn't think there would be any overlap with the set of people they'd already evaluated…

What were you doing in the first place? Do that, then blind review it. So if it's PT day, take the whole PT, then review. If it's individual section day, do a section and then review. And so on.
-
In my experience it's more often one of the first three. But you shouldn't be attempting to identify it or trying to game it anyway, so it ultimately doesn't matter.

That's what the videos were.

I don't think he's asking how to negate a statement. I think he's asking why, after being told we have to take statements at face value, we are suddenly trying to negate them or otherwise manipulate them. The answer is that you're mixing concepts. …

Tutoring with Sami is doing guest stars now? Awesome!

"Neither A nor B" means Not A and Not B. So they both go in the out column.

Nope. Your proof starts with Js->Kr, which is given. Fine. Then you contrapose: ~Kr -> ~Js. Great. Then, you translate that contrapositive into Ks -> Jr. Still fine. But you haven't actually changed anything - you've taken a contrapositive …
-
Js -> Kr and Ks -> Jr does not form a biconditional statement. What you've done here is translate the same rule two different ways, by taking a contrapositive (which ends up with the same statement by definition), and then translating that con…

Actually, no. Take, for example: I don't have both a brother and a sister versus I have neither a brother nor a sister The first says you don't have both. You can have just a brother, or just a sister, or maybe even no siblings. You just can't h…

The primary reason is to foster retention. Returning to something after a while forces you to 'fetch' the ideas again, which deepens understanding of the material in question. This phenomenon is well established in education literature. You should…

To me, the comparison is not about the 'mathematics' in terms of integrals or parabolas or anything like that. Rather, it's the application of general rules to specific circumstances, and the thought process is identical in both cases. Just like sin…

There's nothing special about 1-35. The reason 1-35 is the given advice is because those were 'safe' ones to use when there were only like 60 or so tests; 35 tests to break up for understanding purposes, 25 or so to take as full lengthers. Now that …

Let's say the Mona Lisa fulfills aesthetic criteria "X" (whatever it is). Now let's say I paint the Lona Misa, a perfect copy that is completely indistinguishable from the Mona Lisa. Does the existence of the Mona Lisa affect the amount of aesthetic…

K /N breaks down into two statements: K -> /N and /N -> K. As with all conditional statements, executing these is not optional - when you trigger the sufficient, you are stuck with the necessary. K -> /N is not a problem - when I see K, I…
-
It means you don't get it now and didn't get it the first time around either. Getting it right the first time only means something if it demonstrates that you understand what's happening, and the fact that you got it wrong with more time to think ab…

You shouldn't change anything. Your goal is now, and has always been, to do the work as accurately as possible as fast as possible. Why would that change just because you have more time? To the extent that you were cutting corners previously to mak…
