That’s awesome! Congrats on the score!

I'd imagine this is a common trouble for many people when they're learning to tackle weakening problems (and really any LR questions that focus on assumptions). Laser-focusing on assumptions is not something we typically do, so it makes sense that i…

Congrats on your score!

The experimental can be at any point. You’ll know that the experimental section was the section you had a repeat of (meaning if you have two RC sections you’ll know the experimental was one of them) but, during the test, there’s no way to know which…

I'm not positive that I'm understanding your question correctly, but I'll try to answer. If I don't answer what you were asking, please just let me know! The formal learning portion of the study schedule is the core curriculum, which is estimated t…

I think the study schedule is a useful tool, particularly if you've never strategized about how you'll study, but I don't think it needs to be followed strictly. When going through the curriculum, I sometimes was able to do way more than the schedul…

I disagree a bit and agree a bit with @offy0c-1-1. I agree that, for most people, if you focus on a section for an extended period of time (like 2+ weeks) without looking at the other sections at all, you risk regressing a bit in those neglected sec…

@ClaudioD21 Glad I could help and good luck!

Both will be online. As of now, the logic game sections will be the same. LSAC is yet to have released any announcements about when (or if) changes to the section will take place. If/when changes take place, however, LSAC has stated they will make …

If I had to conclusively decide which is the "best" between practicing with 3 section tests and 4 section tests, I guess I'd have to say 4 section because it's what you'll see on test day. But seeing as there's no gun to my head, I think the answer …

@TheGuy1999 Glad to help! I remember getting discouraged sometimes when seeing people say things like "LG is the easiest section by far" or "LG is so easy to go -0 on" after I had already been practicing LG for an extended period of time. Don't let …

When you say you've fool proofed about 6 sections, do you mean 6 sets of 4 games (like a "section" from a PT)? If so, it's totally normal for you to be struggling with LG. Personally, I didn't see real improvement until I totally fool proofed ~25 to…
-
If you're finding the intro to logic confusing, I'd make sure to at least finish it before skipping around. Ideally, you'll complete the curriculum in order. If you find that some sections are intuitive for you, then you can consider skipping. If yo…

Great question. I think Preston is correct. If you're truly trying to get the most out of the curriculum and have the strongest possible foundation, completing the entire curriculum in order is the best approach. Seeing as your RC and LR started in …
-
I understand that the earlier portion of the core curriculum can seem monotonous. It can seem like you're just watching videos on grammar, logic, procedure, etc. and not actually getting better. Trust me, though, it's worth it in the long run! You'l…

Which question?
-
Is it possible to make that jump before February? Absolutely. Is it likely? No. If you’re only eligible to take one more test this cycle (and particularly if this will be your last LSAT), I wouldn’t use it unless I had at least hit the score I was a…
-
I have a couple of recommendations, but first I'll echo what @pnwrunner said about the idea of main point questions being subjective. Simply put, main point questions are not subjective. The sooner you come to terms with that, the quicker you'll get…

Which question?

I think it's best to leave some of them to revisit in the future. I've seen many tutors on this site recommend this approach. It's nice to have problem sets to return to if you haven't seen a certain type of question in a long time or if you find th…

"The author overlooks the possibility..." implies that the author totally ignored something that could affect their argument. For instance, if you were given this argument: "You are motivated by snobbery, so I shouldn't believe you when you say tha…

PT88 S2 Q22, PT76 S2 Q22, PT85 S2 Q21, and PT85 S2 Q22 are a few I've come across recently. I'd argue one or two of them are noticeably more difficult than most conditional logic-laden questions I've attempted (I'll let you figure out which if you a…

You'll take the test on the day you sign up for. They send sign ups out one to two weeks before the test, from my understanding. For instance, they sent the January sign ups out on December 29th, an the January test is being administered on January …

I don't know that that what you're doing is "wrong," per se, but I'd argue it's generally not the best procedure (emphasis on "generally," as there are exceptions). I'll try to address what you said in the order you wrote it. First, if you're missi…

If you're only doing full sections, I'd recommend taking the time to drill question types that trouble you and questions right at or above your comfort level. 7Sage's analytics help show you which question types you're struggling with the most. Fig…

Awesome journey and progress! Congrats on your score and good luck in law school!
-
Which question?
-
Which question are you referring to? Regardless of the exact question, though, I can tell you how I usually approach them. If the question relies on formal logic (meaning it uses logical indicators like "if ___ then ___," "unless," "only if," etc.)…

For LG specifically, I think speed comes with sharpening your fundamentals. You’ve probably seen forum posts or prep courses discuss how LG is the most “mechanical” or “repetitive” section. This doesn’t mean you’ll literally see identical games on …

This is a super wise question to be asking and, quite frankly, I don't think enough applicants seriously consider it. There are a lot of law schools that simply don't provide a reasonable ROI for the price they're asking, and even if you're attendin…
