Burnout looks and feels different for everyone. For me, I know I'm burning out when I think that I've logically gotten dumber a day after I get a bad score and can't will myself to apply my good habits.
BR also means different things to different people.
I know one of the sages on here would just review the questions he got wrong because he was spending way too much time on every section.
My issue has been bad psychology when I feel the time cru…
I agree with Alex. PT 70s are exploiting your weaknesses in an unprecedented way. Spend time thoroughly blind reviewing those tests and retake them under timed settings. Your 179s are not crazy flukes but neither are all your 167s. Focus on those te…
@"Cant Get Right" , I'm so excited to hear you say this! I feel like both of us have been on this forum for years now and it's finally getting to a point where game day is imminent.
Since you've been exposed to LSAT fundamentals before, I'd advise you to take a full timed test now to gauge your progress. This is only a good idea because it doesn't seem like you're jumping into a PT without knowing the fundamentals but that you …
@"Ron Swanson" , you and I are in the same boat. Final retake, within the range that I want to be in with some low and some high, just really trying to make sure my reasoning is strong and my confidence is up.
I've also noticed I have to check back to the stimulus way more often. Typically, there's one word that seems innocuous on a first read but makes an answer choice completely untrue.
Answer choice (D) misapplies the second principle: usable evidence against owner --> justified access without owner authorization
(D) states that they confiscated the computer because the importer was considered suspicious of smuggling. However,…
So, I may be advocating an unpopular opinion but this was the only thing that worked for me. I, like you, saw my LR scores drastically decrease when I moved into the 50s, 60s, and 70s. I also did not have a true pattern to the types of questions I m…
@"Alex Divine" said:
I don't think it is that hard, but you usually need to have a legitimate reason as to why, at least from what I understand.
Exactly. Most people that I know who received deferrals had legitimate academic reasons (e.g., TFA, Fu…
(B) is incorrect because the subject of B is too broad. In the second sentence, (B) reads that "most small companies can improve their financial situations by starting to advertise." However, the subject of the sentence actually needs to be qualifie…
Mmmmmmm so I was stuck between (B) and (C) when I answered this so I definitely didn't understand this very well on my first read through but here goes my interpretation.
The argument the speaker is making is that there is an ambiguity in the conc…
I think it's worth the 10 seconds or so to read the remaining ACs and test out the rule. The biggest time suck in games is having to revisit anything so it's better to be 100% sure that a rule doesn't apply.
(A) is actually incorrect because the conditional given in the answer choice misinterprets the conditional given in the stimulus as saying: if every person failed to buy a product that is advertised, a show would be canceled.
Conceptually, (A) als…
To add to @"Accounts Playable":
(A) is the only answer choice that makes a connection between the time of evidence and its relevancy.
(B) doesn't have to do with time, it deals with the amount of time we put in. Not the same.
(C) doesn't have to…
More importantly, find a method that works for you. Like in LG, you rely on tried and tested diagramming techniques, even to get you through the funky ones, you need a method that you can rely on for RC in terms of reading the passage and answering …
To prevent burnout in the future (or minimize its likeliness), I think it's helpful to think about LSAT studying as skills you need to complete rather than hours of devotion. When we think about things as checklists, we become more efficient because…
Prephrasing the answer pays dividends for flaw questions. I make sure to write down the flaw and the possible ways it could be expressed before moving to the answer choices and compare the answer choices to the flaw I prephrased.
Until you have an attack plan for each section and each question within each section, don't move onto PTs. Instead, drill by question type, then by section, and then take PTs.
