I can say from experience that working on LR can negatively impact your performance, even when it's your strongest section. For me this was because learning good habits required me to unlearn current habits. But it wa…

I am the worlds most boring individual.
We all are!
But aren't you a veteran? How can a veteran be the world's most boring individual?

Do I just need to shut the hell up and be grateful for the scores I am getting and just study LR more?
No, you don't need to shut up and be grateful for the scores; you should aim for perfection. But yes, you should study L…

@Lsatkayy -- they are at the end of each preptest, in the Acknowledgements section.
They are often found in journals that are beyond paywalls.

Necessary assumption: An assumption that is required for the argument to work. Without it, the argument completely falls apart. Making such an assumption does not, however, necessarily allow the conclusion to be drawn. In other words, there might be…
This is extremely normal. Before you went through the curriculum, you were probably answering a lot of questions on the basis of intuition and gut feeling. That can go fast, but is ultimately not going to get you the best score possible. You now hav…
The absolutely best pencils, hands down, are the Mitsubishi Hi Uni and the Tombow Mono 100. They're both pretty expensive, relatively speaking, but for a one-time purchase, I think it's worth it.

Sit them down and have them do a full PT under timed conditions, and when they see what you are up against they may say "oh".
This is of course assuming they don't get a 180 their first PT or just do extremely well in gene…
Don't think there's any way of knowing until you get more information. I think it's possible that they partially approved. You can always call them, though.

Just make sure you really interrogate why you made certain decisions when you were setting up your game boards and making deductions.
So important! I call this "active foolproofing."
This is terrible for you. So sorry. But as many have said, it makes best sense to look at this in a "silver lining" kind of way. Hopefully, the extra few months will help you do even better. As @TheMikey said, if you are indeed pushing off till next…

The experimental section is not always harder than the rest of the test. It's generally a bad idea to try to figure out which section is experimental while taking the test. That said, if one encounters a particularly hard section early on in the tes…
Now, here's the kicker - I am in my 40's. Soooo, no dear, 27 is not too old. I ask myself that question regularly but this is something that I really want, its my dream and I do not feel old. I have a plan and until I exhaust all avenues, I wi…
27 is not too late, and in the big picture, there's really no difference between 27 and 28. So, if I were you, I wouldn't feel like I absolutely had to apply this cycle.

No. Foolproofing refers to doing the same logic game over and over until you have perfected the inferences (and hopefully added them to your muscle memory). It is discussed in the Core Curriculum.
It depends. The Dean often signs off on each admission. Often, a single reader is assigned a file for the initial read. Then, depending on certain variables (usually if the candidate falls into a grey area with regard to LSAT/GPA but has other redee…
