Try some drills where you read purely for structure, perspective, and attitude. Take in what fine-details you can, but try and nail the passage's organisation and a simple understanding of the different opinions within it (as simple as "this person …
In my experience the perfect balance was part-time work whilst going through the CC and nailing fundamentals through drilling. This took me months and months but with concerted effort it could be done in half a year or less (to a high standard). Onc…

@BinghamtonDave PERFECT! That's exactly what I was looking for. The superset/subset concept makes sense but I wasn't sure exactly where the "some" came in. In what context did it come up on recent exams? On LR or LG? Thank …
I go over any circled questions. My reasoning is that I shouldn't be sitting the LSAT if I'm likely to make an error with bubbling - I should be comfortable with it by then.
For anonymity I don't want to say too much, but on the anxiety front I realised that two things were impacting my studies (1) browsing the forums and (2) excessively emphasising the importance of the LSAT.
(1) was a problem because it is often a se…

Advising you to go to a school with intention to transfer is really horrible advice.
Which, ironically, Spivey seem to agree on (barring some disclaimers).

I went way below my pt average last time, so this time I'm literally feeling sick to my stomach just on the thought of seeing my score

So I know this is going against the grain a bit, but I sat December and I wish I'd sat a PT during the week before. Even if it was just a retake of a PT I'd already done. I think by the time I sat December I hadn't looked at the LSAT for 7+ days whi…
I think Alex's advice is right. If you're nowhere near prepared then it's probably not worth it to sit the test. If you were a handful of points away from your goal I would argue that one possibility would be to take it with the intention of cancell…
Sorry this is a short answer to a very detailed question but... it pretty much comes down to foreseeing if the split is helpful. You normally do this by trying to envisage if the split let’s you make a reasonable number of further splits and/or usef…

@LCMama2017, & @Ohnoeshalpme, thank you for the advice. It's more like the logic behind the language that's challenging for me. I graduated from the University of Maryland, so I have a full understanding of the English langu…
I'm not averaging a 170 just yet, but my recent average (for 2018) is -1.7 on LR so I think I can give some ok advice.
For me the key was becoming extremely ruthless with each answer choice. IMO you have to get quick at knowing when an answer choic…

I don't exactly have a rule-set, and I think there is something to be said for developing an innate, personal sense of which questions to come back to. But to try and explain my process a bit... in most cases I have an LR question circled for one of…

Entirely depends on the individual I think. I skip somewhat aggressively (2-4 questions) on LR and normally have about ~5-8m to go back to them (but it's my best section). RC I usually don't skip more than a couple but don't normally have more than …
Yes there is a difference since B --> C and B or C have different truth tables.
To get the contrapositive of A --> (B --> C) you negate the consequent, which is (B --> C) in this case, then flip the conditional and negate the antecedent…
