Here are a few examples of potential question stem indicators
"would provide the strongest support..."
"provides the most support..."
"support the view that..."
The biggest difference is in the stimulus. For a main point question, the conclusion is stated in the stimulus and one of the answer choices will repeat (or rephrase) this same conclusion. For MSS, you are given a series of premises in the stimulus …
Usually I’ll miss a couple questions I didn’t circle (trap answer choices) and maybe one or two of the ones that I did circle.
It’s not a terrible place to be, but I also don’t want to just be burning material unless I’m moving forward
Timed section drilling will solve this. Don't worry, it's a natural progression.
That being said, just doing timed section drilling won't bring huge returns on your score if you aren't blind reviewing after.
There are a few things here that need to be addressed.
First, as a disclaimer, it is definitely possible to make that improvement in 6 months, but it's impossible to predict whether you can actually maintain 40h/week for that entire time. It's easy…

I can't believe I'm just learning this. So all this time looking at the median charts for various schools, they use the LSAC GPA, not the uGPA?
Yes, and it's cumulative across all of the credit-granting institutions that y…
I recommend untimed section drilling. Get a greater sample size before you hone in on a specific question type. Give yourself the time that you need to reach 100% certainty before you move on to the next question. This way you'll have a better sense…
Yeah this is often a tough break for students who see their LSAC gpa for the first time. You have to just accept your splitter status and move forward by killing the LSAT.

Thanks for your insights! I'm currently going through the core curriculum, and I'm just about finished the invalid argument form section of the syllabus.
Was your study schedule like when…
Seeing as how February applicants are considered late and have a 20%ish lower chance of being admitted across the board, you should really be pushing for November. Even if you fall a couple points short, you're probably going to be better off than y…
No it does not mean that you aren't cut out for the law. Studying for the LSAT is an isolated, repetitive and disheartening process. You don't really build on the skills that you learn in this test. You are merely studying to get a score. Most stude…
After you finish the CC you really have only a framework for success and a theoretical understanding of the material. You will learn more now by doing. Work through sufficient assumption questions, necessary assumptions and must be true questions to…
The key here is to write the personal statement in such a way that it is a story about you, and not about your parents. This topic can definitely work, but you will have to focus on your own journey and the personal qualities that you want to emphas…
I apologize if you felt like you were being judged. I was responding because it seemed like you might not have accurate data. It’s totally your decision to choose where you want to go to law school! I wish you the best of luck and hope that you will…
@slandholm Just to give you a sense of what I am referring to, Pace University was the highest rated school with a median LSAT score of 151 (15 point improvement). A general overview of the data shows that 77% of graduates secured a legal job, among…

To answer your question, it is definitely possible. However, even if you improve 15 points, you're still looking at a short list of schools …
Yeah I’m totally there with you, the progress on this test is so slow at times. And the nature of PTs is “2 steps forward 1 step back” where you’ll score really well on a section or two but revert back to your old ways in another. It’s painful, but …

Is there a possibility them issuing each student a stylus pen, maybe?
I still don't think this solves the problem. Especially for LG where you need to be able to reference your master game..
I actually have no idea how y…
Are you discouraged because you don't know what to do to improve or because you know what you need to do but you aren't seeing as much improvement as you'd like?
Spivey is good. I think that consulting only makes sense for those who can easily afford consulting. The advice that they give is certainly better and you can rest assured that your application will be significantly better with their advising. If yo…
So in the first box where it says “piece together” it’s asking you to make sense of the non-argument stimulus. The stimulus might be referencing a phenomenon or it might be a set of premises without a conclusion. The second “piece together” box is r…
My GPA is unimpressive so I need the LSAT to boost my application for the T14.
If you have a 4.0 then you can probably get away with a good GRE score instead.
See what type of progress you make in LG over the next two months then return to LR if possible.
To answer your question more directly, it all comes with a lot of practice. The more intense BR time you spend on LR the better you will get.

This is gonna be a long cycle, I am guessing that ED applicants will have an especially tough time this cycle. You're most likely better off retaking the LSAT and applying at above median.
