I had a dream a few nights ago that I misread the zoning game in PT 71 but somehow I lucked my way to the right answers. I was mad though because I didn't learn how to get better, I just had to accept that I got lucky and was trying to figure out th…
@mes08 That is exactly what I've been doing for exactly the same reason. Having to take a section you normally could do in 35 minutes but now only have 30 minutes for requires incredible discipline and mental energy to execute perfectly without gett…
It may not be because I presume there are more test takers in June than in February (which is when I took it) so they may need multiple rooms or one larger room. There's also some construction going on so they might pick a building that's not in the…
DEFINITELY focus on later PTs. I think PTS 60 through 74 are much harder than anything I've encountered in the 50s and I'm glad I have the time to prep those. I intend on retaking some of the PTs in the 70s as well to make sure I really understand t…
I think maintaining your anxiety requires a two-pronged approach. The first is to ensure good habits that help you become more centered. This includes good sleep hygiene, minimal stress outside of LSAT (if that means avoiding pesky family members, t…
17. Sufficient Assumption
Step 1: Underline conclusion
Step 2: Identify premises
Step 3: Diagram (most of these should be diagrammable into true conditional statements or at least pseudo conditional statements)
Step 4a: Identify what needs to be l…
If you had to decide between SF and EB, I would 100% pick EB. I had a friend who took a test at SFSU and said the proctor was completely ridiculous. Also, the 101 is terrible and unpredictable, whereas I feel like the 880 is pretty reliable. It's al…
When I went to CSUEB, nobody had individualized desks. The room was divided into rows connected by one long desk and everybody sat down two seats from each other. Also, the 880 traffic in the morning shouldn't be too much of a problem since the test…
I used to live in San Jose but ran into the same problem so I took it at CSU east bay. The campus is super nice and I would highly recommend CSUEB as a testing center. Proctors were really efficient as well
@markushageylikman I think Graeme or Mike Kim made a post about timing that I think might apply to you. I know you don't like writing things down but if you're consistently missing flaw and necessary assumption questions, I would recommend trying. T…
I would say for both these questions, you need to be a more active test taker. It's not just about being able to spot the fallacy -- you should be able to articulate it and write a note to yourself on the paper. Flaw questions are tricky because, fo…
@brna0714 First off, congrats on finishing the school year -- very much deserved!
Secondly, I agree with @nicole.hopkins said about studying in chunks. I typically study anywhere from 6-10 hours a day and study in 3-4 hour blocks. I also start my m…
LSAT max was having a sale so I bought a watch for like $15-20. I feel kind of bad for funneling even more money into this test but I do like that it's just one less thing I have to worry about during the test. They will probably have a sale within …
You have a FANTASTIC diagnostic score, with the raw potential to score 170+ on this test. My diagnostic score was lower than yours but my first plateau took place around yours 157-159. I took this time to "shop around" and use different books to see…
@nicole.hopkins NOOO but people keep telling me I should. I started watching West Wing but I realized I paid way too much attention to Rob Lowe's face and not enough on my logic game LOL. And yes, I was ECSTATIC when I found out that Nick Offerman a…
SA and NA have very different approaches, IMO. For SA questions, doing minimal diagramming is helpful, whereas I don't think that's crucial for NA. NA questions require you to really know the argument core really well, and while that's also true for…
@nicole.hopkins I did try to use Manhattan's RC guide but I too have a really hard time with the scale. I do like they're reasoning and theoretical approach to RC so I'm trying to do borrow from that without having to spend too much time on the scal…
So I haven't started this plan yet (and won't for a couple years) but my friends gave me their old barbri/themis materials and told me to study those the summer before I go to law school. They also gave me their 1L books and told me to just skim thr…
