Something that helped me get better at NA questions was to master how to negate sentences and ideas. If you recall from the CC (The Trainer teaches the same thing), if you negate the right answer choice to an NA question, it will completely destroy …

Hi Nathan. As far as in/out games are concerned, 7sage put together a list of easy, medium, and difficult games that really get to the core of in/out logic, and those can be accessed here: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-24-section…

I can't say I ever had a nightmare about the LSAT, but on more than one occasion, especially as the test approached, I would wake up in the middle of the night with logic games game boards running through my head.
-
Hey. As I wrote above, I feel that this was at least a somewhat below-average difficulty test. The logic games section may be the single easiest LG section I've ever done. No odd or pattern games like have recently been included. LR had a lot…

I agree with @"nessa.k13.0"! Especially on her point of reading SCOTUS decisions. Not only is it good prep for the LSAT, but as an aspiring appellate attorney, I actually find them enjoyable! Perhaps you might as well!

Real LG was the one with U/R and obstacle course and cities and I don't remember the last one.. Real RC was the one with jazz as the first passage Anyone remember the LR section that ended with the question about the Nobel Prize? Real or experime…

I'll take a stab at it... The key to this question is understanding why the T Rex has the features it does. Answer choice B helps us answer this question by giving us an answer to a flaw in the original argument. If the new bones found were of a din…

I think I'd pursue a PhD in Economics, specifically as it relates to domestic policy issues. Maybe I'd take it the academic route, but being a government economist/policy writer and analyst would be pretty rad.

@arezuriahi It's printed right above your picture on the ticket!

Love this! We can totally do it. Just walking into the room knowing that we've put in more time, effort, energy, and tears (?) than anyone else is going to be a confidence booster in and of itself. I actually think I'm more excited than nervous
-
Yeah, good advice above. When it comes to LG specifically, be sure to understand the difference between when a question asks what must be true vs. what could be true. I find more often than not, when I make a "mindless" error in LG, it comes down to…
-
Great observations! I didn't consciously take note of it when I was fool proofing, but now that you say it, the skills learned from endless LG proofing really are transferable to other aspects of the test in the ways you describe.
-
Good question! I've taken a few PT's in my day-of garb, just as an extra little something to reduce the level of uncertainty on test day. I'll be rocking baby blue shorts (my faves), sneakers (for the comfortability factor), a t-shirt, and a long sl…

Hi Nabeha. If you're scoring near the 170 range already, then it sounds like you have a pretty good grasp of the fundamentals, which is the best place to be. Though it's not always the case, 9/10 times the first passage or two are easier than the se…

Wow, great and timely advice @"nessa.k13.0"

Woohoo! Thanks for setting up!

Looking forward to it! It'll be weird spending a weekday evening NOT studying for the LSAT...

I would suggest drilling a few of the problem sets after the material is freshly learned and watching all of the explanation videos for those questions. I would also suggest leaving a problem set (or two or three or more, depending on how many there…
-
I'm thinking I'll do some light LR drilling and a few miscellaneous LG to stay fresh. Other than that, I'll eat healthy, get hydrated, and maybe do a few easy LG and LR for a confidence booster as the weekend comes to a close.

What I try to do is give the stimulus a fair reading the first time through for every single question, in order. If I find that I don't understand the stimulus after spending some time with it, I circle it and skip. If I skip a question on my first …

I concur with @AllezAllez21 ! Well put.

Strengthen/weaken questions (along with NA and a few other question types) are nearly impossible to prephrase. The reason being that the test makers can bring in outside information to strengthen or weaken the amount of support the premises give to …

@studyingforthelsat If you haven't already tried it, I might suggest a different approach to the comparative reading. (I can't claim this strategy as my own, I just don't remember where I found it.) Instead of reading both passages and then moving t…

A mantra that I try to repeat to myself as I go through RC sections and that might help specifically with these types of questions, is to ask, "Why did the author write this?" If you can summarize not only the content of each paragraph as you go alo…
