an IC is supported by at least 1 premise. but the IC is intermediate because it then supports the bigger picture of the the stimulus which is the main conclusion.
I'm going to be doing 6 section PTs as well, but I wouldn't be against this! I think just doing the 3 section proctor then restarting it works fine too.

now for "Which one of the following judgements most closely conforms to the principle above?" which is for PT39 S2 #11, this is saying that the principle is in the stimulus (notice th…

it isn't worth to do anything for it beforehand.
But don't T-14 schools (or in fact, all schools) read them? Is it not better to have a really strong sample as opposed to a weak one, espe…

That makes sense. I've thought about whether I would skip these on the first pass since they are typically larger than other LR questions. But I can see if they appear early on they may be on the easier side and worth the time.…
Depends. Usually I leave them for last unless they're in the first 10 questions or so. I'd say the easier ones shouldn't take that long if you figure it out quick, so maybe like 1 to 1:20 min? maybe even quicker. the harder ones it just depends on y…

Do people tend to think of these questions as Principle Apply vs Principle Identify? The Cambridge packets organize them like this and I'm just curious if it helps.
that's how I usually think of them. Applying vs identif…
when it says "The reasoning above most closely conforms to which one of the following principles?", this means that they are saying the principle is within the ACs (notice the 'following principles'). this is what 7sage categorizes as PSA questions.…
I agree with everything above. I think of MSS questions as weak MBT questions, or simply could be true questions that have support. After I started thinking this way, MSS questions became easier.
I tend to go for the weaker sounding ACs for both MS…

Great question! The PT booklets I have bought of test from LSAC are double sided which makes me think the real LSAT is double sided.
Hopefully, someone who has taken it before can answer this.
they are double sided

Ah, I don't know about your personal style but I always read the stimulus before reading the question stem so I don't know exactly what I'm going to have to do with the information in the stimulus while reading it. Typically y…
I agree with you that there is a pattern to principle questions, but when you shouldn't be looking for a flaw when you do principle questions. ignore any flaw that may be in a principle question and just focus on distinguishing the principle itself.…
I think what Daniel means by not taking a PT in the last week before the test is to just take it slower and chill out more. Maybe do some light drilling to stay sharp but mostly chilling to not avoid burn out?
feel free to call me an idiot if I'm w…
I like to bubble in after each game, after each passage, and after each LR page. I feel like the slight time between bubbling is a minor mental break lol.

I wonder what this means for students with LSAC fee waivers.
I don't believe they will exceed the 2 free takes, but I guess it may be possible for them to add an additional free take to make it 3. I can't see them giving som…

Damn. Well at least you're almost done Now to a summer of LSAT!
yup!!! I haven't taken a PT since February since I knew I wanted to postpone to September. but when I was PTing, it was varying in the 160's. Been doing …

No, I wish I could have.

nope. was going to but I have finals this week so decided to no…
I've def come across a few, but I do agree that they are not that common. Usually when I see them, I have to double check to make sure what the flaw is since I'm not used to seeing them a lot. the same goes for the flaw of using a term twice or what…
I think that what you're referring to when people say give a question the time it needs, they mean (just like accounts playable said) having skipped that question and going back to it at the end when you have extra time and have already gotten to th…
Hmm.. Well, I feel like it's tough to explain what to do when you see certain things in the LG stimulus since there's books and other resources that teach you. go back into the CC and watch the LG videos and pay attention to the key words that JY go…
