As a general rule of thumb, arguments that contain a "Some people say" statement or some variant of that, proceed with the author essentially saying, "but those people are wrong" or some variant of that. Don't always assume that the author's conclu…

Nice! Now that both @"Nicole Hopkins" and @"Cant Get Right" have posted about it, in the same thread, it MUST be official!
-
Oh gosh. My condolences to dream you @Micaela_OVO I had a dream that for the last year, my brain felt the need to diagram every sentence I heard, every phrase I read, and every word that came out of another person's mouth. ....wait...that wasn't a …

Yes, to an extent. As a general rule of thumb, you can expect the first few questions to be the easiest, and the last few to be the most difficult. However, don't go into a section with the assumption that 1-10 = easy, 11-18 moderate, 19-25 = diffic…

@danielznelson It helps a ton! I did that the first time I registered for the LSAT. The person who picked up my call was able to tell me what the testing center would be like (layout, spacing, seating, etc.). That put my mind at ease.
-
Yup...I am the paranoid type when it comes to getting to places on time. I used to wake up at 6 a.m. for a 10 a.m. class... Here's the plan for September: -Call testing center of choice and ask if they will be doing construction or hosting an even…

Your tips are spot on. The way I see it, the best way to reach a near-perfect, if not perfect BR score is to learn from your mistakes. Coincidentally (not really) that's the whole point of BR. 1) Know why the wrong answer choices are wrong, and wh…

"I'm going to have to ask the defense to stop attacking the credibility of their own witness." Can't stop laughing!

A 7 point improvement isn't bad at all, especially when you consider that you have only completed half of the curriculum. In other words, you took a practice test with only half an arsenal of LSAT tools. I would consider pushing your test date. June…

Like @allison.gill.sanford and @stepharizona said, it could be a double edged sword. On the one hand, you're more confident about the stimulus. On the other, you may end up choosing an answer because you know it to be true - even though the answer y…

@"J.Y. Ping" I smell a bias! Joking. In all seriousness, after trying 3 other prep companies, 7Sage's curriculum is ultimately what helped me. The Trainer by Mike Kim is a great supplement to the course. I believe he recently released his 2016 Trai…

@stepharizona That's what I used to do when I had a tablet I could write on. Tried it on an ipad mini...didn't go so well! Thanks again, everyone!
-
I can't remember when it was, but a similar question was answered earlier...there's a ton of great advice in that thread. Anyhow, like @"Cant Get Right" has mentioned, trust your set-up. Ideally, you want to spend a fair amount of time up front. In…

Nope, they're two completely different statements. The first reads, "Some As are not Bs": So, if we have 10 As, at least one of them is not a B. The second reads, "Some things that are not As, are Bs": There's more flexibility with this statement…
-
@"Cant Get Right" Way ahead of you, haha. Thanks for the advice!
-
Thanks everyone! I see a ton of great suggestions. @"Cant Get Right" I think that's how I'm going to go about it. So far, I have been printing around 6 copies for each LG. I usually fool proof the games in 3-5 runs. So, I figured 6 should be plent…
-
@allison.gill.sanford Thank you, that helps a ton! I'm going to have to review both J.Y.'s video and Pacifico's post. Decided to take a day off from studying today - incredibly tired for some reason. So, I guess it's time to start photocopying those…
-
@allison.gill.sanford Thanks so much, Allison! Most of the copy shops I've been to would also reject that offer, haha. I don't mind spending some time photocopying them, especially if it means a nice little boost in my overall score. How exactly did…
-
This one is a tad trickier than some other LR stimuli, since the two variables to be diagrammed come after the logical indicator. As discussed above, the "I only" in this stimulus acts as a "the only". So, W --> T When you get confused, try usin…
-
What are you trying to diagram?
-
That's an incredible improvement! Congrats. You still have some time before the June test to prepare, and plenty of time before the September administration.
-
@"Cant Get Right" This x1000! I've spent the last ~year studying for this test. Whether or not I decide to go to law school, I'm taking the LSAT! I have around 4 options available. Unfortunately, all of them have an incredibly competitive pool of a…

Start drilling the in-out games. Also note that 3/4 games being in-out is somewhat of a rarity... Don't let one or two bad scores bring you down. I'm willing to bet that for everyone one bad score, you have AT LEAST two good, if not great scores.

When it comes to laptops for academic use, I look for quality, reliability, and speed. Since I do pretty much everything on my laptop, I can't afford to have it crash on me a week before finals. This almost happened with my Mac once - freaked me out…

YEEEES! Glad we've got the ball rolling!

When I was finishing up my UG, I met plenty of students in their late 30s, early 40s, who were JUST starting their Masters program. Trust me, you're nowhere near "behind."
-
From what I have gathered, it doesn't make much of a difference. What may influence the admission committees decision is your major. For instance, if a liberal arts major graduated with a 3.7 GPA, and a chemical engineering major graduated with a 3.…
-
@"Cant Get Right" Couldn't agree more! Don't use your PTs solely as a score improving mechanism. Instead, use them to determine your weaknesses, then address those weaknesses by drilling. Regarding a schedule, you want to focus more on your BR. A P…
-
I do what @runiggyrun does. But, instead I just write a small "C" next to the conclusion, and keep the premises in mind. Sometimes it helps if you turn the argument around. So, if the stimulus says "X Y and Z, therefore it must be true that K" you c…

First off, remember that you are not alone. I can positively say that the majority of us have been or are currently where you are - annoyed, "depressed", and just want this to be over with. Don't let that cause you to make irrational decisions - fo…
