Usually, the easiest is first and the harder ones near the end when time is tight. But these aren't like guidelines the LSAT writers must adhere to. You'll find plenty of LG with hard ones off the bat. It's a good idea to attack the games in order…

The posts are tenacious. They stay forever.

I found that I got quicker with time through practice. As the familiarity increases, you learn to recognize and think quicker. You can spot the trap answers because you've seen them before. You know to look out for things that you've come across. An…

Keep up the good work, guys.

I guess if I was just a variable in the dream instead of the one moving them around, it would have been worse. But a sequencing game with no solution? Man, you got a bad PT that night.

TTS: I didn't study at all the day before. I even (tried) forbidding others from discussing the LSAT. I was following the accepted wisdom that the Prep the day before would not help much anyways. I did doubt that line of reasoning, and thought that …

Marryam: Well, at least two days allows you to review thoroughly. I don't know how many hours you're putting in per day, and understand it's tiring, but it's good practice. As for the night before, it probably depends on each person's sleeping hab…

It's amazing how the LSAT grasps so much time. Just doing one PT with review can be around 3/4 hours. When I was prepping, time would skip around so quickly. It would be light outside, put in some LSAT time, and suddenly the day was over. Sometime…

No problem. Glad to help.

Go for it, buddy, and nail it. Best of luck.

It's hard to give specific advice without knowing which questions are troubling you and where the problem lies. That said, obviously focus on the questions that are challenging you. The fact that you catch the answers in BR is good news, as you not…

Ya, I guess

I never recommend the dying approach to the LSAT.

Ya, try hurrying through 1-10 and see if the extra time works. However, make sure it can be done without getting inaccuracies in 1-10. Also, in case you aren't doing this already, circle difficult or doubtful questions and come back to them if the…

-2 on RC is great, especially if we're talking about the recent PT60+ tests. Keep it up.

I'm not taking the LSAT, but I took it in December so I can relate. Don't worry too much. My original plan was to go through all the recent Preptests, but as the date approached I realized it wasn't to be. I did a few of the PT60s. Remember all the …

Don't agonize about time, especially if you're still beginning. The speed mainly comes from familiarity and experience. In my opinion, the best way to get faster is to do more LSATs, absorbing the patterns into your thinking. The more integrated and…

If you're tired of LSAT, Sudoku is better than other games. But only do it if you really enjoy Sudoku. Otherwise, it's still going to have that feeling of something you're forced to do for the LSAT. If you need to relax, relax properly.

Develop a genuine interest in knowledge. Dwell on the fact that while sinking time into LSAT prep, you are simultaneously learning about a variety of topics, and generally from experts in the field. Enjoy learning and growing. Tell over passages to…

Nice system. Hope it works well for you. The stretches are a good idea, but I'd emphasize exercise more. The benefits of staying healthy and exercising is sometimes neglected. I found this holistic approach to the LSAT to be useful.
-
Fundamentally, you want to work on identifying assumptions. Besides the technical assumption questions (sufficient and necessary), other questions are testing this ability. For example, a strengthen question can be relying on your capacity to find t…

LG have a limited amount of underlying principles and setups. With practice, review and repetition you will inevitably become familiar with them. Hopefully, you'll reach the point when LG habit is entrenched enough to withstand any test or time pres…

Don't worry. Progress takes time because the ideas and mechanics need to be absorbed; not just understood, but absorbed into your pattern of thinking. What do you mean when you say you misunderstand a LG? Do you mean making errors? Misreading the …

A large part of LSAT improvement is review and repetition. Logic Games, specifically, is comprised of basic structures and mechanics that need repetition to become natural. This takes plenty of time. If, as you say, your work exhausts most of your t…

Do you mean giving up on retaking the LSAT or law school?
-
No problem. That's what we're here for.

The answer is in fact (D).

A panoramic view should hopefully show progress. But it's expected for there to be ups-and-downs along the way. For various reasons, tests can occasionally disappoint you. It's normal. Let it focus you to redouble your efforts. I'm not sure how of…

Well, I gave them my address and info when I sat the LSAT.
