At any rate, I agree with @ddakjiking in that, if you're at 3.0 CGPA, you still have a shot at T-14s with a 170+.
-
Your community college classes count towards your cumulative GPA so your GPA could be higher if that wasn't already counted in.
-
I also think doing timed sections will help you with timing and getting into the habit of always reading the question stem. I remember when I drilled too much, I ran into the same practice of not reading the question stem hard enough.
-
In that case, go back through and revisit material you've seen before or complete earlier tests. Also, I would time your blind review (stopwatch, not alarm). If you notice that the blind review takes you an additional 10+ minutes, that might mean yo…

I'm kind of in the same boat as you are. The thing is that there might be a pattern to the questions that you're missing that you're not seeing. For instance, I don't miss main conclusion questions often but I did realize that I miss main conclusion…

@jsperling What information are you looking for? I've perused both books so maybe I could shed some light
-
1) PT every other day 2) BR + drill Rinse and repeat until D-DAY!

@royaimani: I think steps 2 & 3 are the ones that are really taking a lot of your time, possibly to your detriment. For step 2, you typically don't have to paraphrase the entire stimulus for assumption questions. You do need to ID the major pre…

Diagnostic: 151 Highest PT: 174 Average PT: 169 1) Fundamentals (I started with Blueprint, and then supplemented LR with Manhattan and 7sage) 2) Drills (Cambridge) 3) Practice tests + drills + timed sections (I use timed sections of practice tests …

For flaw questions, I typically ID the main premise(s) and the conclusion and write it like this: A (premise) ----- B (conclusion) For example, a common flaw stimulus I've come across is where you're introduced to a drug, a study, and then the aut…

Read the question stem first! To echo what @lbalestrieri stated, you need to read the question stem in order to figure out how to approach the question. Your task for an assumption question when compared to an inference question is going to be vastl…

I completely feel your pain. I feel like I've been thinking about and studying for this test for over a year. The only thing that gets me to wake up in the morning and study is the horrible prospect of having to continue studying, floating around in…

If I recall correctly, the earliest test you can take is December 2015. The two year period is a rolling period from the date of your first test.

There's no relationship between A and C. You can combine most statements if: A most B A most C ----------- Bs some Cs

Sent you a message!

@Catehm88: sent you a message!

I think Manhattan does a great job of helping you with Logical Reasoning. I went from missing -7/-8 on LR per section to -2/-3 per section.
-
One thing that I found was liberating for me was to view practice tests as benchmark assessing my knowledge of the test. I forgot that in the process of studying for the test, I got so obsessed with the score that I didn't step back to think that th…

It really depends on what kind of joint degree you want. I know Duke has a great JD/MA program that you can finish in 3.5 years. Most law schools also have a common joint JD/MPP program -- I know for a fact Harvard has one for the law school and the…

I think the strength of the answer relies on the type of assumption question. If it's a sufficient assumption question, you want a strong answer choice to make the argument air tight. In a necessary assumption question, the answer choice will tend t…

Correct me if I'm wrong @synergy_101 but I thought the major difference between the 50s/60s and the 70s was logic games. There's a pretty pronounced shift in LG where, in the 50s & 60s, games were around the same level of difficulty (medium to m…
-
On what tests were you doing above 165-168 on, and what 2 tests did you just take? I noticed that LR is more difficult in the 50s and experienced a similar drop.
-
I second what Mills said. I noticed a significant improvement in my reading abilities after reading for 30 minutes prior to studying. I know some people recommend reading journals to get into LSAT mindset but I found that reading ANYTHING for me see…

JK I found out! It's in the answer key, for anyone else who is wondering
-
For SA questions, we know that the correct answer choice is going to bridge the gap between premise and conclusion, and therefore, it needs to be airtight (I always note that the correct answer choice will be strong). When I read the question stem…
-
WHOA! @miriruchert -- we are testing at the same place!
-
Another key with logic games is knowing when and to the extent to which you diagram. Something that saved me wonders on time is looking ahead at the questions. If I see that most of the questions are "If x, then y," then I know that it's not as impo…

College of Alameda is supposed to be really nice. I also believe there is a wikipedia page for LSAT testing centers you can look up. Also, holllaaaaaaaaaaaa (I'm also in the Bay and it's nice to see a kindred spirit )

Oooo! What does the personal statement bundle include?

Hi Megan, You are exactly right. Here is how I mapped out the stimulus: P: Counting sheep occupies both left and right sides of the brain P: Occupying both left and right sides of the brain excludes sleep-preventing thoughts ______ C: People who…
