@hachem64-1 Glad to hear it! I’ll message you now.

@Daisyx053 Glad to hear you're interested! I'll message you now.

To break into the 160s as quickly as possible, I think drilling LG would likely be the best route for you. If you're averaging 7 to 11 missed questions in LG, you're missing some questions that could definitely become "freebies" once you get more co…

Really I believe it's personal preference. I chose to begin fool proofing after completing the CC, so I just went through the LG lessons in the curriculum and (often) got beat up by the games, knowing I'd fool proof them later. There's certainly no …

Prior to COVID, the test was five sections long (four scored sections and one unscored). You were guaranteed one LG section, one RC, and two LRs. Then you'd have an unscored random/experimental section. During the first few months of COVID, the test…

Do you mean questions where a phenomenon is described then the person making the argument attributes a cause to the phenomenon? Or a different kind of question?

I've found my LR journal extremely helpful. It forces you to articulate why you did or didn't select an answer choice, what went wrong during timed conditions, and what you can do to remedy it. I generally log the date I answered the question; the P…

What does your BR score look like? If you're missing a lot in BR, then I'd say you're not understanding the passages as well as you think you are. If you're missing far fewer in BR, however, then odds are you are understanding the passage but you're…

Everything @silver77 said is gold. The only thing I’ll add is that I’d recommend fool proofing games if you aren’t doing it yet. One video in the core curriculum explains it. It’s in the intro to LG section of the curriculum, so it’s very easy to fi…

It's totally possible. It's undeniable that the LSAT is emphasized more than GPA, but some schools, like UChicago, are known to place more emphasis on GPA than some of their peers. And your leadership and job experience may just be what they're look…

Let me start by saying that I'm not a tutor, nor do I have a high score on the books. I'm still studying just like you. So don't take what I say as the absolute truth. If you think my advice is trash, just discard it. Now that I've gotten that out o…

@ninaaaa15 In my opinion, yes, to a large extent, there's nothing you can do besides fail repeatedly. That's how most skills are acquired. The process isn't always a blast, but it works. I also didn't like getting destroyed by multiple games in a ro…

Have you tried fool proofing the games? There’s a video in the core curriculum explaining it. Doing a game, BRing it, and watching an explanation video is fine and well, but I’ve often found that I don’t truly start understanding certain inferences …

Sounds like it may be a false binary. It's possible Alphonse married neither a beautiful woman nor an ugly woman. Maybe he married an average woman and, as a result, he's neither jealous nor discontent. He also could've married a man, in which case …

Amazing progress in just a few months! Best of luck this cycle.
-
Congrats on the improvement!
-
Best of luck! I'm sure you're capable if you put your mind to it.

When going through the CC, I got destroyed by every game. I'd say I started seeing significant improvement (meaning I started feeling generally comfortable with the section, even if I didn't always go -2 or better) after about three months of fool p…

Awesome improvement and score! Best of luck this cycle. I'm sure you'll crush it!

If you go to the drill section, individually click each game from a PT in order, then click the blue "create drill with 4 games" button in the bottom-right of your screen, it should create a practice set of the four games in the order they actually …

The “Introduction to Logic” and “Advanced Logic” sections cover a lot of diagramming. Additionally, just watching JY do tough parallel method of reason questions, tough parallel flaw questions, and (certain) tough in-out games will expose you to a l…

Yes, it will be administered in 2023. The test is slated to be offered remotely and with remote proctoring through at least June of 2023. The sections will be in a random order and, again, it will be online. Yes, the layout is nearly identical to 7S…

Occasionally, I think questions have been retroactively removed from grading by LSAC. Meaning there may have been a test administration where a question was deemed unfair or it may have been deemed to have two correct answer choices, in which case L…

I find that keeping a strict schedule helps me a lot. So, for instance, if you work from 9 to 5, tell yourself that you will, without fail, study from 6 to 8. Barring a medical emergency, you're not missing that study time. This really compartmental…

Though there's a bunch of things you can do when you're not BRing or PTing, I think there's a few that just about anybody can benefit greatly from. This list is by no means exhaustive, but there's a few foundational activities I find particularly he…
-
Opinions on this are extremely mixed and I don't think there's a one-size-fits-all answer. Some prep companies teach it one way and some teach it the other. Since everybody differs a bit in the ways they read and process information, I think you've …

I'm of the mindset that if you think someone could write you a strong LOR and they'd probably be willing, you should ask. The worst that can happen is they say no. Unless you're in a bizarre situation, asking for a LOR is not going to damage your re…
-
As others have mentioned, I'd advise against using your scratch paper for questions aside from complex parallel reasoning or difficult lawgic-heavy questions. Perhaps the most valuable resource you have during each section is time, and drawing pictu…

I think focusing on weak areas and spending extra time on logic games is the best approach, particularly if you're usually missing more than one or two questions on logic game sections. I personally have found logic games to be the quickest section …

You can adjust the amount of time you have when drilling by clicking on the clock icon on the top right of the interface. You can edit your time all the way up to unlimited, if you'd like. I hope this answers your question!
