Do the LR section first. It’s the foundation for LG. Practice diagramming out the conditional logic in the LR qs when you can.
If you’re feeling discouraged by MBT qs then keep working on that. If you put more time up front you’ll score better whe…

For the LR one thing I thought helped me was keeping pictures of all the LR questions I had ever missed and flicking through them and remembering the right explanations for why each wrong answer is…
I actually save a lot of time just by writing out what the question asks of me and what the ACs say. And writing down the game pieces when I get stuck. i.e. the question says R is in 2 and L is before P, what MBT. so write R2. L-P. Write down the…

3rd take got a 168 ughhh
How did it break down?
Additionally, don't stress too much about your score on any one test. There is always that 3 point margin of error which b…
thanks ya'll! I just BR'd that PT and realized I just misread and assumed that each piece didnt need to be in either group so I turned it into a 3 group game and that made a really easy game impossible to solve. so i'm not really worried about this …
It’s humbling and gives you a feel for what exactly you’re studying which in turn makes you take the cc prep more seriously.
It’s like on the very first day of class when the professor gives you the broad strokes of what the class is about and mig…

Shh don’t spoil the 70s for me lol. I remember that chairman one. I’ll skim thru the first 20ish and search for them. I just FP’d around 30-50 and I don’t recall many leader grouping games in th…

I don't have a list, but PT 78's first set involves a "leader" game. I remember actually taking it on the actual test date and thinking, "Awww yeah, I got this!" And there was that one game involving a chairman and a scientist…

Not sure if it’s too late but big law at either of those schools is worse than a coin flip. If you’re set on LA and you want big law you might do better with UCLA, USC, Loyola, or another California school.
None of those scho…
You dont understand it if you dont understand the logic of it. Dont move on from the CC until you understand it. You wont be able to do logic games or LR if you cant translate english to logic and logic to english and recognize if it is valid or inv…
Note that schools often ask you to write an Lsat score addendum to your application if you have a substantial difference between your scores. I think that a years worth of studying would lead to a substantial difference. Just for that reason I would…
Unless you have a financial reason to not do so, there’s no reason to not apply. I was accepted to schools where my LSAT score was below their percentile range. Not sure why you wouldn’t just take one of the LSATs in the fall if you’re so close to t…
I dont think you can really answer that question until you're like 2 weeks before the test date and can look back on how you've been scoring on your PTs. If your average of those PTs ends up being around where you want to score, if your PTs are cons…
Since my mother said so, it is without a doubt true that I am special.
"As if it were subject to verification" is more or less irrelevant fluff. Stating any opinion, and then saying "[that opinion] is right," is treating an opinion as if it is pro…

How long did you study? Did you work full or part time while studying? How many times did you take the LSAT? When did you apply?
Also, congrats on kicking ass at life.

My only tip is to hone in on connotation and descriptive terms in the passage. Does the author say, "the scientists' claim has some implications..." - neutral, or does the author say "the scientists' claim has some compelling implications..." - posi…

I'm interested to see what others will say about this, because it's something I haven't mastered either!
Recently, I watched the timed commentary that JY does on a top-scorer's LR section. (It should be included in the basi…
Can this just be a full time work vent post omg I am suffering! I work f/t as a litigation assistant aka an underpaid paralegal and I am struggling to study. I also have an hour commute. I did really good for a few months of a solid 3-4 hours every …

I spent months straight just studying LR and my LR section score was really close to -0, at worst it was -3, always had a few min to double check my answers at the end. I spent a month kind of neglecting LR, I would just do a few LR sections a week,…
I feel like I understand. I talk out the stimulus and answer choices to myself and I feel okay
I think that's your problem here. You're not ready to go into the test if you're reviewing answers based on it feeling right and how it sounds to yo…
They're at the end of the section, lol. I think the "hard" games at the beginning of a section are typically just fairly straightforward games, but they have a lot of game pieces, and/or not a lot of inferences. So you have to draw out a long gamebo…
better to withdraw and keep studying than rush your studies and take it when you're not ready and feel like shit and want to give up after. it's a brave and smart decision.
