@"sorooshian.h" I'll check it out!

@uhinberg Just to clarify: I'm not taking a position on whether he should be executed for the second murder, only that the original post makes it sound like he is being executed for the original crime. Yes that's true. Unintended. Although, I …

Unfortunately i think this is fairly common. I graduated with a 3.6 but need to apply with a 3.5 because of a drop : / Best option is to crush the LSAT.

I'm terrible at games but I'm contributing to the massacre of so many trees if I print out 10 copies. In my LG practice alone (not counting PTs or LR/RC timed sections and drilling) I've used just about 2k sheets of paper : (

I think what may be happening here is a little bit of non-traditional applicant bias. I agree with the commenters saying there is no reason to fear bringing your mom. This is not an interview. It's an open forum. Lots of over-thinking happening in t…

I wouldn't suggest doing more than 5 at a time. Keeping the batch count low will let you focus on local strategies like IDing the flaw, rereading the stimulus, and eliminating AC. Going beyong that, roughly speaking, you begin to enter additional re…

ohh let me see my star!

@AllezAllez21 Yea that makes sense. Under timed conditions, I didn't diagram at all... just eliminated A-D because they were clearly wrong. Basically, from a non diagram perspective, we are given that an action is presumably rational in all case…

Bumping this up because I have an additional question. How does the logical structure in D match the stimulus? Stimulus: Played volleyball --> badly sunburned, not badly sunburned, therefore not volleyball 2nd floor office --> work for pre…

I've been researching this topic too and everything I've found supports @Mellow_Z and @AllezAllez21 I would suggest you look at specific schools when trying to answer this question for yourself instead of all schools.

haven't done this game. if it works for you, let it ride!
-
The LSAT you take on test day will be 5 sections long: 2 LR, 1 LG, 1 RC, and 1 extra of the preceeding sections... not necessarily in that order. That "extra" section is called the experimental section. It is not graded and there is no way legitimat…

After surveying my life options, I decided that Law, an industry plagued with alcoholism, hyper-competitive work environments, and crippling debt, was the best way to indulge my raging sense of masochism
-
Yea it jumped out at me too under timed conditions. I need to get more comfortable with the structure of AC in pseudo. I do notice the abstractness you're speaking about. Since we are providing a principle, the correct AC is always at least one laye…
-
@LSATcantwin thanks for commenting. That makes sense and I think it needs to be true for this AC to be correct. But the AC doesn't say "preventing future crimes", it says "potential criminals". I don't know how bridge the two. Can we chalk it up to …

If you are intending to sit for the December test, then I recommend taking 2 old but fresh PTs; something between 35-50. Generally speaking, I'd say the first step following the CC should always be LG fool proofing unless you are already -0. Howeve…
-
@uhinberg I highly recommend trying every game without splitting game boards, even when ultimately, splitting game boards proves to be the most efficient way to solve the game. I think this is a very smart and neglected approach. Not splitting…
-
Do you think it would have made it easier for you to diagram if you had translated each individual rule up front? @sakox010 LOL I remember that! I think that was during the CC and before my fool-proofing? During my sequencing drills today I enc…
-
Keep at it! I largely agree. Improvement beyond a certain point for all of us will be the result of targeted learning. It's wack-a-mole. LG is really bad and the #1 priority until you improve there. The focus shifts to Flaw QT, then SA QT, etc, etc…
-
I agree with Allez. We know this is a standardized test and that the PTs released we used to maintain a particular distribution of scores and BS questions, if any, were removed. If you have a strong average score and see a dip, it's highly unlikely …
-
In terms of translating each rule individually, I think you guys are kind of exaggerating how much time it takes. For me, it's only an extra 15-20 seconds to write A - B etc. for each rule and the reason I think it's worth it is because it might …
-
I am drilling pure sequencing right now! I'm not voting because it's not clear whether you have attempted the approach TheMikey points out. What he lays out is pretty key to speed in these games because these need to be 5 min or less generally and …
-
My friend who I am studying with hasn't fool proofed at all and is getting -0 on the sections. My intuition says that there is perhaps a better way than fool proofing for me to learn the games and that one doesn't necessarily need to fool proof a…
-
Flaw, like NA, it is extremely important to prephrase. Where prephrasing is probably over-prescribed generally speaking, there are question types like NA and Flaw where the ACs are quite dangerous to read if you haven't spotted the issue. When you r…
-
I understand that fool proofing requires -0 on the LG. However, I am not trying to hit perfection just -4 so I changed it to fit my goals. Perhaps that wasn't a good idea. I do need to do more LG. Is there book you know of that has LG 1-35 that I…
-
Great work! 165 is absolutely achievable!
-
Also, I subscribed to the same mentality regarding retakes; that if I take it when I'm not prepared, it's ok because I can retake. That was a mistake in my prep. Retakes on your application don't help. It's difficult to say to what extent they're de…
-
Preparing for this test "the right way" may mean delaying even beyond December because it takes most people between 2 and 4 months to complete the core curriculum. During that time, one isn't taking PTs. Following the CC, many need to focus solely o…

@nathanieljschwartz do you plan on applying this cycle? Yes. But I'm anxious about not being early in the cycle. @"Trust But Verify" (Not to re-direct what the OP was but this may help someone) Regarding PTs, I have an idea that I'm going…
