@E.CH.Poon He is my only concern with that explanation. The conclusion of the argument is the following: HE---> P if, as you say the premise supporting the above conclusion is P --> RSS, then the credited answer choice D, HE -->RSS, does…

@nicole.hopkins Did you guys decide that the relationship between propoganda and slogan repetition was biconitional? I think that's how I'm interpreting the phrase "the former is nothing but an attempt" Propoganda Repeat Slogans originally I had …

For RC to me there are two main parts. 1. You need to know how to read the passages. Obviously you want to read for reasoning structure and understand how the structure is laid out as it relates to the main point of the passage, allow the main poin…

1 bad PT can happen to anyone for any number of reasons. However, there would be cause for concern if you are consistently experiencing significant fluctuations in scores. To me, this would be an indicator that there are definite weaknesses you have…

love this haha

@amanda_kw are you able to understand where your error in reasoning occured after reviewing explanations for the correct answer? I think the key is to find the source of your error in reasoning to try to recognize patterns in similar errors of reaso…

I don't think it is necessary to be good at LSAT to offer good LSAT advice. I think they are mentors because they have shown time and again that they are able to offer information that is helpful
-
A fairly good indicator is whenever the entities to be placed are allowed to fall into more than one group. Also, a quick glance at the rules will often confirm my hunch that it is a game that should be done with a chart. Often, these games have rul…

@"GSU Hopeful" the key is to recognize patterns in your mistakes. Take note of the types of questions you are missing and collect them, review them, learn to recognize them in the future.

@emli1000 found it, what's your email?
-
@emli1000 Sure! It was over a year ago so I'll look and see if I can find it!

@"Nilesh S" haha I used to do the same thing (writing out why the answers werer right vs wrong!) I went through this entire how to score a 160+ thread on TLS and several people had suggested doing that. I used to actually write out in the margins ne…
-
@emli1000 I used to do that too, and yes it is very time consuming. I found some template someone had created on TLS and used that. I think it is definitely worthwhile to do in the beginning bc it really forced me to dig deeper into my analysis of …

for what its worth, i'm a big fan of the triangular ticonderogas. great erasers as well

@jamie.ennis.king010 i think most people that are VERY serious improve somewhere between 10-15 points. However, i do think the economic principle of diminshing returns applies. You're starting at a high point already and it is harder to improve the …

haha ok thanks guys!

@Dgelf321 the logical form of this flawed argument is: if A --> B not A therefore Not B it is a common invald argument form. I would revisit that section of JY's course. make sure you know what "invariably" means, it indicates a sufficient co…
-
for the first one you should have: J (two arrows, one from J, one from M) that both point to H M for the second, this is correct, it is a biconditional. however be careful, "or but not both" is NOT the same as "not both"

@justdoit I print out the page that the question is on, cut it out and glue it to a blank computer page ( i fit about 4 questions per page) for example, look at the following questions: 30.2.20 (must be true question) 31.3.22 (most strongly suppor…
-
@justdoit obviously the reason for the 10-15 point gap is the time constraint. Don't feel bad, the LSAT time constraint is formidable even for elite test takers. The challenge is to get faster while minimizing a decrease in accuracy. Here are some w…

@nicole.hopkins haha indeed, those have been my primary studying materials!

@matthewllc When it comes to reading LR questions, I've derived a very formulaic system. Step 1: Read the stem and understand whether you will be reading a set of facts or an actual argument. (approx 1/3 of LR questions will be a set of facts and a…

Mine just went grey
-
I agree with most of what blah170 said. I do feel however that RC did get harder on more recent tests for the same reason LR did (the wrong answers were harder to weed out). I think also in general the curve tends to be a little more forgiving on th…
-
@camdenharr yup that's them
-
haha @shane.mcglashen I guess you could say that passage owned you? or you were owned by no one else except that passage which means that passage was by process of elimination your owner? haha yeah RC was challenging, as usually is the case for …
-
also i believe it is 3 takes every 2 years, not every 5
-
I agree completely with tsamvelyan

hey jdawg i see what you're saying. i think if i run into a word i don't know how to pronounce correctly, i pronounce it incorrectly in my head
-
I think it would be really hard for me to read words without pronouncing them in my head
