Hey, So oxford dictionary defines should as something that indicates obligation, duty or correctness. So although the word "should" is an opinion it also implies that in that the person who holds that opinion thinks of this as obligatory or duty to…

@shanliane90 said: Ok , I am just starting this journey. I have 2 lsat books and then I found this site and will be soon signing up for the course. However, I wanted to ask if I should spring for the bibles or if that would be a waste of money…

I think its more helpful to see negation as something that logically divides the statement neatly in two halves. Answer choice A: Another way to read this answer choice is, all mercury introduced into the body does not get eliminated. We know All…

@fmihalic2 said: 1. How much do you tend to write down in the margins? Right now I'm writing the low resolution summary and the purpose. I can't write the high resolution because frankly there isn't enough room. Should I write more, less? Tho…

@LSATcantwin said: I'm still have to take the exam but my dreams keep getting more and more strange. I think my last one was thanks to @CinnamonTea haha. I had a dream that my pencil couldn't fill the bubbles in. I got really worked up and kep…

I one time dreamed that I forgot it was LSAT day and I woke up panicking and checking my calendar frantically to make sure that LSAT wasn't that day! lol

I think if your blind review score is in 170's, you don't need a Trainer at this point. Like you said, and I agree, you need to practice your section strategy - keeping focus, skipping, not getting nervous, having a good second round where you corre…

I don't think that matters as long as its a clear ziplog bag where if there is a logo it's limited to a certain spot. You just need a ziplog bag that you can see clearly through the bag and its contents.

@"vanessa fisher" said: I mean if it is just one more thing to read to drive home some points I already know, or a slightly different way of looking at some questions, I wonder if it is worth the time and investment or if my time is better spe…

@fmihalic2 said: @Sami That's exactly right. The subtleties in the answer choices are what hurt me because, unlike LR, there are many more subtleties to track and remember. I did RC for PT 29 today and got -6 but I wasn't timed. Again, th…

It seems like you get what the passage is about to a huge degree but you are losing on not recognizing the subtleties in the answer choices. When you get down to last two or three answer choices there are certain subtleties that differentiate them.…

@fmihalic2 said: @Sami So, I definitely lied because I did a timed section today and -11. I can't believe this and frankly I'm just aggravated with this. I dominate LR and LG and get knocked out with RC. At this moment I just don't know h…

Yaay!!!!! I am so glad that helped.

I would say that's pretty normal as well. When I first started out, I just kept getting so many questions wrong no matter what I did. I have learned that what saved me was the fact that I refused to give up. So don't give up. You will do just fine

@fmihalic2 said: I exaggerated when I said two minutes. I usually read the passage in about 2:50. I'm a very fast reader. In fact, at that pace I feel I'm moving pretty slow, a little below my normal pace. I don't know what more I could d…

@"Mr.Tinklebottom" said: Just wanted to say I came here with almost the same question- only the word I was wondering about was "because". (More specifically, how it is used in PT37,sec2,q12, answer E). After reading comments here, I assume "be…

@"Cant Get Right" said: Lol, I saw this and was confused until I saw the date. @Sami you are usually the one answering these questions, haha. You only just recently started using a skipping strategy and it makes you nervous!? What!? Inter…

Honestly there are not enough likes for what @"Cant Get Right" said above. Although I didn't take the test twice, because he saved me from making that mistake, the journey has been equally difficult. I love what he said about a mental transformatio…

@smseraj3 said: I have the same problem? Would you guys recommend 10 LR questions and easy sequencing game and a short RC passage as a good warmup? That sounds really good. I do about 18 LR but 10 is pretty good too. I also agree with doing …
-
I have to agree with @"Cant Get Right" . Take it easy. Improving on lsat requires good habit formation and changing how you think not just what to think. it's different from normal studying where you can cram a couple of days before and do really we…

@partyondudes said: Hey @Sami it's been a while since you posted this and I wonder how you'd answer your above questions now as I'm having a similar experience. For me, I get to question 1 and freeze a little bit. It's to the point that I'm th…
-
I agree with everything @Sprinkles and @"nessa.k13.0" said above . Well put. I honestly think its fine if you have already taken LSAT a couple of time and are still trying to get into 170's. So take your time. Your chances do increase when your sco…

Hey, I think a lot of times we end up second guessing ourselves. You should definitely trust your LSAT fundamentals and core curriculum lessons. Otherwise you will lose confidence, speed, and accuracy. The only would translate the sentence into: …

I definitely have to press next every time. So if there is one it will be a revelation for me. But I doubt it : (

I think that's because they were supposed to only be available with ultimate plus package. @"Dillon A. Wright" can better answer this. : )
