@stepharizona I'll implement that mantra/breathing technique on my next PT and let you know how it goes
@Inluskwetrust I'm always down to talk strategy! You should join the BR group if you haven't already. It's always helpful to hear the way othe…
@gabriellatkj I was super upset after that LG section, but I tried my best to put it behind me. I killed the experimental LG section I had, so that's honestly what kept me going through the rest of the exam. The hope that the section I messed up was…

I'm glad to hear that you aren't going to let this June take get in the way of you and your goals!
P.S. If you can, join us for the September BR groups!
Definitely not! It's comforting to know that the knowledge is there. Just…

Same happened here. I was totally having an anxiety attack while taking the test, which has never happened before.
About to PM you!

I’ve also started writing "BREATHE” in bright red ink at the top of each sheet of my PT (written beforehand of course) to train myself.
Love this. Taking the time to pause and breathe while having a mini breakdown is wayy…
The LG section is foreign to most test takers, so you're not alone. Definitely take the time to make sure your diagramming skills are on point. You don't want to try games like the infamous dinosaur game until you have a solid grasp on the LG sectio…
If you can readjust your expectations of schools you have a shot of getting into, no retake needed. And you might even snag a T14 like your friend did. However, since your last section was abnormal (and fixable) for you, I'd suggest a retake. Good l…
Latest LSAT nightmare: I felt great walking out of the testing center....then to my horror, I realized I didn't put my name on my answer sheet. *has heart attack and dies*

What's a pattern game?
Pattern games freak people out because of the initial shock factor. Their setups usually contain no starting point for inferences. You just have to start writing out hypotheticals.

Make sure you're solid on the games from the 70s, circular and pattern games from the earlier PTs (the LSAC loves throwing curve balls), and any odd games you've had trouble with in the past- hopefully you have some sort of data on the games you've …

On the one hand, you're like 'ok yeah cool i'm ready' and on the other hand, you're like 'omg i have invested so much into this i need to do everything perfectly *has panic attack - dies*"

@"The 180 Bro_OVO" I had a similar approach.
So the composition of O16 and 18 in the ocean normally stays the same. A greater amount of O16 than O18 evaporates, but the composition doesn't change because that evaporated water comes back to the oce…
@mc_meatt I haven't seen that wording on the LG section. It leaves room for confusion.
Some examples of what a bi-conditional rule would look like:
- "M is in if and only if N is in" M N, ~M ~N
- "N is in if M is in, but not otherwise" M N, ~M …
@CocoZhang
Not exactly. The unified group with the mixed PTs won't start for a couple weeks, but it does look like it will get going before the June exam.

@CocoZhang said:
there is no specific BR group for September test takers? Instead, September test takers will just jump in on these more recent PTs whenever they want?
Correct, no specific group. They're working to unify all the BR groups so there…
@CocoZhang said:
And one more concern is that, although it is great to have mixed PTs, I don't think it is wise to cover ALL late PTs for September LSAT so early (i.e. before June test), but that seems like what is likely to happen.
The calls goin…
You should be proud of your improvement! One of the biggest mistakes you can make while studying for this exam is comparing yourself to other people. I've made that mistake before, and it's not great for one's self-esteem. Some people study for a fe…
Just a psychological factor- If you know a certain game is going to be difficult for you after reading the rules, finish all the games in the section and come back to it. Don't let the LSAC win. They want to tear down our confidence. It's easy to fr…

@Micaela_OVO LOOKIN FOR REVEEEENGE
All summer '16. Lol I'm thinking I'll jam that song on my way to the June LSAT. This test has completely taken over my life since August. Time for revenge!!!

@Micaela_OVO @"The 180 Bro_OVO" Are you guys just hardcore Drake fans or am I missing something here haha.
Dead. Hahahha you're exactly right.

Why have so many students "wisely" defected to the September test? Or did they just switch BR groups and are still taking the June test?
I know a couple of us are still taking June but stopped hopping on the calls since no one was…
Hello @notwilliamwallace! I'll take a stab at it.
The author makes the case that since earlier cultures had a super duper similar standard of beauty as we do today, beauty can’t be subjective. The author seems to assume that the earlier culture di…
