You are on the right track. Strengthening and Weakening questions both focus on a gap between the premise and the conclusion. Getting familiar with those gaps should help with these question types.

Early in prep, I did a lot of markings. Later, I tried minimal to no markings, which forced myself to remember instead of the false security of having marked the passage. The second way was the method I ultimately used. Try out different methods, an…

Haven't been on in a bit, but I see I was mentioned above. Just wanted to reiterate that I'm happy to help with anything, so always feel free to PM me.

I can read it if you'd like. Feel free to PM me for my email.

When I was studying for the LSAT, I refused to sit next to Bob, but only if he was sitting across from Linda. (To be honest, it still hasn't fully gone away.)

Congrats! Good luck with the final test.

LSATurday -- good one!

The LSAT starts to get more modern in the 40s, @blah170blah but not as much as the more recent tests. From what I remember, there were some stranger games there -- I think the Zephyr airline game is there, and that was a bit different. (LSAT change…

It's best to take full and timed PTs, but if you're doing 2 or 3 in one shot, as you said, then you're not too far off. When, and if, you can take fully timed tests, you should definitely do as many as you can. If you meant that you will have the la…

Good luck, @"Allison M" I'll just comment that I am available to help as much as I can. I'm a private LSAT tutor so I don't have any non-compete issues I might not be on this forum as much as some others (I'm currently finishing up 1L and prepari…

Hi @orangepower20 I can offer some general advice but, often, individualistic advice is needed to truly overcome particular hurdles that may be troubling you. (Feel free to PM me to share more details and I can try to help more.) 1. There are man…

I'll try to keep it brief, @"Al [^-^d]": 1. There are many important aspect for LSAT study, but I'll mention some that helped me: (a) Routine. Developing a routine for LSAT study is important because there are always things competing with LSAT stud…

It's okay to take an extended break from the LSAT. Sure, things will be a bit fuzzy when you return to study, but you should pick it up again quickly. I'm sure the competition involves tons of hard work - both physically and mentally. In that rega…

Congrats! Keep up the good work.

Welcome to 7sage, @alexlipton93 It depends on what your goal score is and if it is achievable in the allotted time. This can only be assessed after taking multiple timed practice tests and seeing (a) your current score and (b) how fast your score …

Definitely. I always say that there are two steps for LSAT studying. Learning and Implementing. After learning everything you need to know, you want to get to the point when it is natural and mechanical. If you're noting logical errors and flaws wit…

Yes, that's why some schools may offer waivers for application fees to students outside their numbers range. Even though they will likely not accept them, it raises their selectivity rating.

Video not playing for some reason. But if you want entry to Law Review w/o competition, come to a Canadian law school where all are welcome on Law Review.

Welcome @kendallM

@nicole.hopkins The point made by you and the others is the main answer: making mistakes allow you to know what needs to be fixed. That's what Prep is for. Make the mistakes and correct them so that they're gone when you take the actual LSAT. It's …

You might want to look more into the schools you are applying to. Some places do not require a GMAT in certain cases, for example a high LSAT score.
-
A stimulus might have a conditional statement, but it will have many other stuff too. If you want more fluency with conditional statements, just focus on the conditional statement alone. You can even write your own. Then play around with it. Change …

Well, #10 is "Try not to post your email publicly! Spam bots will pick up your email." So you were right to refer to the forum guidelines

Same here. I watched it a long time ago, and should watch it again now that I'm in school.

LSAT dreams are the best. Especially LG. It can count as practice though sometimes you don't feel like you had a restful night.
-
There's nothing wrong with taking a break. Definitely take one, if you need it.
-
If you have only taken 4 practice tests, you can most likely continue increasing your score. Preparing for the LSAT involves two elements. (1) Understanding the concepts and the techniques involved. (2) Implementing these techniques into your though…

Ya, I'd second the above comments. Provided that they are recent tests, and are being taken under test-like conditions, 4 or 5 tests should reflect your current score. However, as others have mentioned, the test itself can result in a score drop. T…

That's correct, @SoltanShah! You're also right that, in the second statement, you can buy nothing. Keep it up!

A bunch of people have asked me to review their Personal Statements. I'm a current 1L on break, so I have more time than usual. Feel free to PM me or email me (islandlsat@gmail.com) and I'll take a look at it if I can.
