How long are you taking to read the question stem?
-
6 minutes on the questions is way too much. Are you spending time going back and forth between answers?
-
@"Alex Divine" So what pencils are you buying with the gift card?

Does it work as a chronograph, or with a bezel?

It was harder for two reasons: (1) Many people found the second passage extremely difficult; and (2) there were more abstract reasoning questions than usual. See, for example, the first passage.

For what it's worth, I happen to think that Manhattan's way of attacking this type of grouping game (they call it open grouping) is the most intuitive, and the easiest way to catch all the inferences. This is the one time that I've felt that someone…

If you are scoring 158-159 now, there's no way, short of a miracle, that you'll score a 170+ on Saturday. If you want a 170+ and truly believe that you can achieve that by December, I wouldn't risk putting a score of under 160 on my record. It can o…

I think that this is a common problem. In my opinion, it comes in large part from becoming very proficient at splitting game boards without really understanding how the rules are working together to push out inferences. Splitting game boards is a gr…

This is a great example of what I think is the toughest type of strengthen question, i.e., one that strengthens the argument by ruling out an alternative explanation. In other words, it strengthens the argument by eliminating a potential weakness.

@MichaelTheArchAngel said: Cats walk very light-footed when compared to other species. A) no human is as light-footed as cats. It is not a necessary assumption because it is already stated. From Manhattan this would be a premise boo…

Wanna share what kind of practice you did since the June LSAT to improve that much?
-
@Hannah56 said: I completely agree. People are taking years of their lives to study for this damn test. what difference does it make if one got 10 questions wrong vs. 15? or 20 vs. 25? is that enough evidence that the one that got 20 will be …

Problem with your explanation for the phenomenon is that the curve is not set by those taking the test when it is being administered; it is set beforehand, on the basis of data gathered when the questions were given experimentally. Glad to hear abo…

@jkatz1488 said: But it's not enough to just do them and then do them under time -0. You really have to study the inner-workings of the games. This is so key. As usual @jkatz1488 spitting awesome LSAT knowledge. I'll just add that it can be ex…

@"Caleb.rohr.church" said: @AllezAllez21 said: Fool proofing requires that you do a game until you get -0 on it well under 7Sage's recommended time. So a 7 minute recommended time game should be done around 4 minutes going -0. …

@TheMikey said: C2 was from Feb 2016. Also, it doesn't really matter which test you take because C2 and the more recent ones that have been administered and then had the tests released is the same thing. One was just in Feb which is non-d…

This one was released, just not right after it was administered. No difference, really, only I think it has a pretty unforgiving curve, kinda like PT81, so if you don't like tests with such curves, another test might be better for your confidence.

@Mellow_Z is, of course. 100% with regard to percentiles. But although law school admissions is primarily a numbers game, there is a bit more to it, and it is likely that a 2.0 will be looked at with more of a jaundiced eye than a 3.2, and give the…

Going from low 160's to 170 (or 175, as the title says) is a huge jump. It's not the same as a seven to ten point jump in the lower scores. [It's like asking how you can get a raise in salary from 50K a year to 200K a year.] People can study for mo…

@jkatz1488 Great stuff. I always enjoy reading success stories of people who approach this test with the proper seriousness.
-
The only downside is that you don't catch overconfidence/underconfidence issues.
-
What study materials do you have now? Where are you in your studies? How much of an improvement in your score are you looking for?
-
To add to @TheMikey 's story. @"Cant Get Right" has posted that Nicole is also at the top of her class after 1L. That is a very significant next chapter of the story, b/c it happens to be that research has shown that high LSAT scores are of particul…

I think that @CurlyQQQ mentioned in another thread being a URM. If so, a lot of the info is different.
-
There's a lot of up to date splitter info on TLS.
-
I don't think that getting these questions wrong is necessarily an issue about not understanding the passage content. These questions, more than all others in RC, ask a test taker to use abstract reasoning. It's a question of sharpening the same ski…

Are you URM? Are you hoping for scholarship money?
-
@AJordanMD Well said!
-
could be that @blljhnsn35 was just saying that it's a double-edged sword for minorities. People might tend to look at a URM at a top school as being less deserving, when that's not the case. Many prominent AA's have complained about this negative co…
