I agree with @"Cant Get Right." Where you are just starting, it is all about assessing where you are and not putting the added pressure of trying to do something you may not know how to do in set period of time. Use each game as an opportunity to ad…
Congrats on both! My vote would be for Chicago as well. I was waitlisted there last year and easily would have gone for it if they would have accepted me. Reasons why? They are consistently one of the top schools, if not the top, in the NJL rankings…
Hi!
So while it is not directly indicated by the text of the passage, I do think that it is safe to assume she is a historian. By definition, she is doing what historians do. AVW is investigating the historical influences of AAs in America. She stu…
I know this gets really sciencey but think about this in terms of your knowledge about the universe.
Current estimates about the distances stars are away from us reveal they are 1 billion years older than the universe itself. But they are even furt…
I think @BenjaminSF and @danielznelson really hit the nail on the head. Knowing why you are skipping the questions will help you to recognize your weaknesses too. Granted some questions (weaken, analogy, passage format, etc.) are designed to take lo…
I am in a similar situation and have implemented most the advice mentioned. It has helped immensely. A couple of things I would add though is "get social." Talk to other people on these forums about the test. Post comments and answer questions. Atte…
Thanks so much for posting this Tyler! I will say that using skipping strategy has helped me tremendously by giving me a sense of freedom. If I don't get a question at first glance, NBD. I have the confidence now that I will be able to go back and s…
First of all, congrats on those acceptances! Every school that you mentioned is great.
What I would say is that it comes down to two things: what do you want to do when you graduate and the cost of attending. Really narrow down what you need to do …
I agree with @akeegs92 here. You don't necessarily need to notate everything like Nicole does. And you don't need to even take notes of what is being talked about in paragraphs. You just need to have a really high level and general understanding of …
I agree with the general consensus here. One thing that I will add that has really helped me is that as you improve in your worst section, something else will become your worst section. So for example, what I do is I will take a 5 section PT and use…
I think @"Heart Shaped Box" nailed it. With both universal and existential quantifiers, we know that something is definitively happening. With conditional relationships, the sufficient guarantees a result i.e. the necessary condition. Same with fail…
Hi!
So my first thought is: do you need to take it in June? If you are already concerned that your mental state of being will not be as sharp and you think this is going to wreck your confidence, then there is no point wasting a take. Especially if…
There actually is! In the book LSAT Superprep II, the LSAC goes into detail explaining their questions. One of the components that they provide is the level of difficulty for each question. Is this completely objective? No. But it is probably the cl…
Okay so no lie this happened to me on the actual exam. I think because it happened to me a few times on PTs that I knew what to do.
Usually, the first indication is that no answer choice works. When this happens I go back to the question stem or th…
I agree with @tanes256.
I would also add that be really hard on yourself when it comes to BR. If you don't understand something, dig deeper to try to figure it out. Once you feel that you have dug as deep as you can, go one level further. There is …
Hi!
Also note that if a new lesson is ever uploaded, your big green check will disappear. This happened to me a few times and I couldn't figure out why. So this could be the reason on some occasions moving forward.
Hi Panda!
Great analysis. I agree with you all the way until your explanation for B being the right choice. The reason for that is because the conclusion says "can" instead of will. "Can" does not necessitate a necessary condition. All that means i…
@Alejandro good point! That may be true, and if it is, I don't deny that BU may be the better bet. But I was just going off what the ABA Disclosures say as well as Above The Law's Firm Placement, instead of rankings. I tend to see much more GW grads…
Congrats on the improvements! Those some huge leaps that you should be proud of!
As said before, don't be afraid to go back through the curriculum. It's your friend! That is something that I wish that I did way back when I first started studying. D…
I have worked in the Boston market for quite some time and I will say that if know that you want to practice in MA, it is great school. Probably the second at worst third best if you are looking for any legal job around here. But if you are not cert…
I agree with what was said above.
Firstly, mayor is saying we can't afford it right now. The citizen misinterprets this to mean that we can't afford to at all, financially speaking. The issue is confounded further because he uses this as the baseli…
Hi!
I think what really helped me was going back over the Causation Hypothesis lessons. It really did show that answer choices are wildly irrelevant and like @"Cant Get Right" said, there is always only right answer choice.
I think the reason that…
Hi!
Firstly, I would make sure you are reading for structure. Have you taken a look at the trainer? Mike Kim is responsible for my RC boost so I recommend at least reading through the RC chapters. You can see for yourself here!
