Thank you everyone for sharing your experiences! Lets keep the comments coming for all of us about to sit for the first time...

Since your missing 15 on RC maybe try to focus on just three passages but try to get most of the questions right. and then guess the same letter on the last RC passage and you are likely to get one of them right.

getting really solid on the fundamentals. The fundamentals are the same no matter how difficult the problem. its just that the stimulus gets more difficult to decipher and the answer choices tend to be more difficult to eliminate.

Hi Royaimani, 5-8 minutes for one question is too long. You need to spend 30-50 seconds on easy questions and up to a maximum of 2-3 minutes for only the most challenging questions. If I were you I would go over the grammar lessons at the beginning …

The score conversion scales on newer PTs are much less forgiving than the old ones. I was scoring in the mid 170s on the old PTs and then dropped to the high 160s low 170s on the newer ones despite missing roughly the same amount of questions

To me the LSAT trainer was the most valuable for the mindset it tells you to adopt regarding LR. And yes, the two are compatible. 1. Remember that you are only attacking the relationship between the premises and conclusion. 2. Remember that the r…

Congrats realmadrid keep up the great work! You'll get there! abc, yes I absolutely have revisited old PTs (old passages, lr questions, and definitely games. However, it wasn't out of necessity, I still have more than 15 PTs I haven't seen. I plan …

Also if you can get really comfortable with conditional logic, its time in the bank on EVERY (just about) conditional logic question that comes up (relative to most students). And thats something that pretty much every one can control (gaining fluid…

You know, it wasn't that things weren't working for me, they were, I was getting better, and I was getting better relatively steadily just from continuing to engage with the material. I think it just took me longer than a lot of people to really get…

ddakjiking makes a great point. Also, don't forget you can revisit old questions to cement the process
-
In addition to the above, the curve on newer exams tend to be less forgiving.
-
95% of games from PT 1-35 are relevant. I strongly recommend mastering ALL of them before doing games from PT 35-74
-
I think it is safer to employ that tactic on certain conditional/formal logic mapping questions where you know exactly what you need. In general however, I would not rely on this tactic to save time. I would recommend trying to save time in other wa…

I started with the powerscore bibles. Personally, I think they are a GREAT resource to start with (especially the LR and games bibles). I've been through both thoroughly and several times. For LR it gave me the fundamentals, a very, very solid found…

Thanks Turnercm! and Fedelio!

Jdawg, Here is where I was coming from on that question CGO some ~CA ------------------ ~(I ---> CA) (Notation key: CGO = complex goal oriented behavior, CA = conscious awareness, I = intelligence) To prove the conlusion (now that Jonathan ha…

ahhh that's right! Thanks Jonathan!

If any one is curious the question that I'm looking at with regards to the above is PT 49, Section 2 Question 17
-
I think the main value is getting the additional explanations for actual PTs
-
Hey turnercm, are you planning on applying for this cycle? If not, no point in forcing it this feb. Either way I wish you the best of luck!
-
for games bubble after each game. for RC bubble after each passage for LR bubble after each fold (two pages)

Hey Dee don't fret! Logic Games used to scare the sh*t out of me. I too got to a point where I was worried that perhaps I just didn't have the cognitive horsepower to be good at them. That's a bad feeling because that is something that is mostly out…
-
It means that K wasn't interviewed, which also means he definitely wasn't hired either, since he can only be hired if he was interviewed
-
All tests are extremely relevant. The newest tests from about mid 50s onward are the most extremely relevant. The worst thing you can do when you start your initial prepping is to burn through fresh PTs before you have the fundamentals down. My reco…

Here is some correspondence between a Manhattan Tutor and I on TLS that might be helpful. I had the same exact question you do. Hi Christine, I just wanted to ask your opinion on this matter. I have been through both the Manhattan LR book as well …

Just remember that you are not in some third world country wondering where your next meal is going to come from while people are out to kill you and your family because of your ethnicity/religion and then you'll realize the worst that could happen i…
-
I would say you would want to average somewhere between 2:30 and 3:30 per passage, maxing out at 4 on the most difficult ones. Getting a good initial read is critical for efficient success through the questions
-
Just a couple of thoughts on this. If i run into a parallel reasoning question before question 15 chances are i'll try to solve it right then. If it run into one past question 15 then there is a greater chance that it is a time sink and i'll skip it…

Hey sunflower, you really shouldn't, in my opinion, solve for all possible worlds when there are more than 6 worlds. However, when there are more than 6 worlds you can identify several basic templates that capture the basics of all possibilities (ev…

Hey flhelms. My cold diagnostic was a 154 and that was about 11 months ago. I have thoroughly been through the Manhattan/Powerscore/Trainer/7Sage full course material since then. I was originally signed up to take the LSAT in Sept, but wasn't ready …
