"... is that the same as the “either or rule” from logic games? The idea that at least one of these options had to be in the game?"
Yes! If we're talking specifically about this verbiage on LG, we should be given all the clues in the ru…
@Na-leh2021 Hahahaha.. thanks for this vivid commentary! LOL seriously XD
And totally agree, I always add lots of mights, coulds and maybes when I answer such Qs as well. But I find the thought experiment very helpful, and this is probably weird, b…
Yep, as mentioned, we're assuming so in this case. But it's getting into the nitty-gritty b/c things may not always align themselves neatly in one genre or the other in the real world. I think this straying from the point at issue though.
Yup!
So assuming all manuscripts the PH receives are either fiction or nonfiction books, under the restrictions of (A), we have "unrequested manuscripts + that PH receives -m--> not given serious attn."
We have 4 possible scenarios per the STIM…
you can always find very good explanations and commonly raised questions/concerns (which may be the ones you have) on both the Manhattan PREP and Powerscore forums.
I second this! It's always been helpful for me to cross-reference and see other…
"if a manuscript is unrequested, does that mean it is either a fiction book that was from a literary agent or a nonfiction book from a renown figure?"
Yes! If we add in a few more qualifiers:
(1) "if a fiction manuscript is unrequested…
"Utah...
Wisconsin......
Y-O-ming."
The other state names might be wrong, but I just can't remember which question this was. There were lots of random "Y-O-ming" state facts that randomly popped up throughout the rest of the explanation, like the…

Hi! I've been in your boat before. Long story short, you've got to skip. You're spending too long on questions you could perhaps get right much faster or might get right faster if you had the benefit of a second round to check over the questions you…
So... just to clarify:
If we're starting out with "if someone tells the same lie to two different people, then neither of those lied to is owed an apology unless both are,"
I'd have diagrammed it like this:

Yay, I'm so glad we finally get to hear James's LSAT wisdom! He has truly been my go-to guru for RC. Congrats on those amazing accepts, @jmarmaduke96 !!!
Thank you for this post! Besides time away for a mental break, if you have any tips to help manage anxiety that you find useful in the prep days ahead, I'd love to hear them. I'm already a bit anxious in stasis lol.
Hoping your breakthroughs contin…
@"Jonathan Wang" wow... Words to mull on for a long time to come ❤️
Sorry it meant your team was having a lousy night, but inwardly thankful they were to give me this. I'm a long way's off from having the full, proper response to it all right now, …
Thanks everyone so much for your insights! I truly appreciate them.
Yeah, deep down I think I knew I just wanted to be assured to "do what works for you" and happily bounce along to my next PT... Even if I can't necessarily slap a label on "group 3…
Thank you for your input, @whatsWaynedoing ! Agree that if there is a long chain of reasoning, I'll also start out w/ a diagram too.
If you don't mind my asking (and if you've taken this PT), would you have gone w/ method 1 or 2 for PT64.S3.Q26 (LR…
The best way to build confidence, for me personally, is to be an aggressive reader. That means always pushing back on structure during my 1st reading.
Yes! One of JY's mantras I always try to follow is to "contain your confusion." I know that m…
Ah memory, that elusive little thing that buckles under pressure and testing anxiety. I've been taking gingko biloba for just such reasons lol~~~
Honestly just to offer a final tidbit, I've become less afraid with spending all the time I need on th…
RC is so person-tailored. Everyone has their own preferences, and they vary widely! I had a friend/colleague who jotted small notes on the scrap paper we're allowed. Didn't go crazy, as I understand, probably ST that amounts to a lo-hi res for each …

Sorry sorry sorry XD... not to trivialize. I'm sure most of us here will be experiencing some degree of anxiety leading to & in the midst of each of these major chapters.
It may not be…
Hi Jeonghoon!
I'm somewhat in the same boat as you: 10ish years out of undergrad and found RC to be my most difficult section at the beginning of my prep until quite recently. Now, I am much more engaged in my reading, less daunted when I hit RC pa…

Oh I should give these a try! I'm a softie and used to play a lot of FF & KH. The ne…
Yes to cooking! Probably playing a few RPGs I've missed, but not enough to get addicted coz that would be death in law school. Oh, and finally moving past intermediate-level Korean. LSAT made me believe I can learn anything hahahaha.
Sorry, wish I could say more, but I haven't heard of anyone running into this situation yet. Perhaps try Reddit too? I definitely second calling LSAC to see what can be done. Would you mind letting us know if you find out about whether both samples …
Oh my gosh, an image I absolutely commiserate with. An old Lavazza coffee canister is the treasure box of all my little stubs.
I almost don't even care we can use pens now... I've grown fond of these little guys & the hassle of mechanically sha…
@GoatAdvocate Exactly! (D) doesn't give us enough info (is vague) to actually allow us to conclude whether not making mistakes in the past can be transferred over to the present. Thank you for distilling it further!
I do think that if we knew more …
Yes, me! Lol. I started 5 years ago... stopped... and re-started in November 2019.
The core curriculum is your rock. Better to make sure no cracks were left that might have still been there from TestMasters, but it depends on how much you got out o…
Spending 1-2 hours on 1-2 LR questions that were hard for you is AGONIZING... but when you're really engaging, poring over every crack from STIM to A/C, you also feeling like something meaningful is happening. And it will show.
So glad @Christopher…
