Yay! That's always exciting
-
I'm not quite sure what your question is asking. Can you clarify what you mean when you say "you imagine yourself talking to the author?" The closest thing that I can think of is I read the stimulus with as critical of a voice as possible and "my…

Nope, not important. They will ascertain the "why is she applying" from your personal statement.
-
Previously written. You'll want to keep any new ones for PT purposes.
-
You definitely have potential to hit the 160s. It's important here on out to 1) not forego sections so keep your RC and LG skills sharp and 2) get better at your weaknesses in LR. This probably looks something like drilling timed sections of RC and…

I've never heard law schools or admissions mention score bands ever so I'm leaning towards no. There's always room for error but I don't think so.
-
Sure, your scores will be inflated, but who cares? PTs aren't for generating scores, they are for furthering your understanding and building experience. So for where it really counts, retakes are almost good as new. ^^ THIS! A THOUSAND TIMES THIS! P…

If you were PT'ing around 162-168 but got a 150 in June, I think you have a couple explanations: 1) Your fundamentals are shaky 2) You have bad habits when it comes to BR'ing and PT'ing in non-testing conditions and the actual test As in most cases…

@nye8870 explainsd it well. Answer choice E assumes the only or the most significant consideration to reducing environment degradation is the charging process of batteries. But what if charging batteries is as bad as they say but in the long term th…

I'll note the annotation that has so far paid the most dividends for me is circling words indicating author's tone. It's really strengthened my RC accuracy over the past 4 RC sections and held it at a -2.
-
So I've taken a lot of stuff from all over the place (Manhattan, LSAT trainer, @"Nicole Hopkins") and these are the annotations that best help me in no particular order: 1) Box key terms + names 2) Circle words that indicate pivots/qualifications (e…
-
There are 2 things you need in order to attack RC: 1) You need a reading strategy that doesn't fail you. 2) You need to be aware of wrong answer characteristics. Can you walk us through how you go through a passage and answering questions? How lon…

The goal is to figure out what caused the recession. The author is saying that typically, low spending on the part of people who hold the most debt is what causes recessions. We think that lower income households have the most debt (and therefore …

Is the correct answer choice (A)? On mobile and I'm having difficulty checking.
-
^^ nailed it.
-
I'll split game boards if it seems very obvious -- for example, P can only go in 1st or 2nd place. Before I start games, I take a 2 second glance at the questions to see the number of "if" questions. If I see that half or more start with "If," I'll …

A contradiction is a specific type of disproving, in my opinion. If you google search "self-contradiction," it's a specific type of logical fallacy. I'm not entirely confident though so I'd ping @"J.Y. Ping" (no pun intended) and see what he has to …
-
I think you're using the terms "contradicts" and "disproves" interchangeably when a contradiction is a specific type of disproving. At any rate, I agree with your logic but I would change the language to read, "the opponent's retort disproves propon…
-
(C) would still be wrong for the 2nd reason I gave because the opponent doesn't think both options lead to undesirable consequences since he/she thinks the chemical dip could be an alternative. It's unclear exactly what he/she thinks about the chemi…
-
Also, if you're aiming for a 169-171, you should be scoring a few points above that.
-
If you were PTing that high, a couple of things could have happened: 1) You weren't being honest with yourself while you were PTing. Did you give yourself extra time? Took an extra long break? Looked at answers after each section before the test was…
-
Man, this is a gnarly MBT question. Typically, MBT questions want us to link conditional statements. I don't think this is true here. The only sentence that matters in this stimulus is the conclusion: progress > /reason. Answer choice (B) is its…
-
Well, there's nothing we can do about 100% ensuring a score in the mid-170s BUT (all cheekiness aside :-p) to help you answer this question, we're going to need to know some of the following: 1) What was your diagnostic? 2) What was your score brea…
-
(B) is incorrect because the proponent isn't contradicting himself, he/she doesn't consider a better alternative to preventing food poisoning. Just because the speaker brings bad or incomplete evidence is not the same as the logical fallacy of self-…
-
@cal6005 Your negation statements seem to make sense and if it works for you, that's great. I would just advise keeping the nuance of "WONT NECESSARILY" in your mind because the answer choices of later necessary assumption questions will prey on tha…
-
Necessary assumption questions are one of my few strengths in LR and I rarely diagram. I always think: "what would need to be true for this claim to be correct?" The answer to that question is the necessary assumption. S1: In order for this claim t…
-
In my opinion, the "difficulty" setting is more cool than it is informative. The LSAT is such a personal experience and deep dive into your own metacognition that it's hard to truly generalize "difficult" and "easy." That being said, the above post…
-
You should use your memory to your advantage. If you can remember games well enough that you remember how they need to be set up and the key deduction(s) that need to be made to crack the game, you can create an arsenal of reference points when you …
-
I actually disagree with the others, to an extent. I think you shouldn't take PT70s until the end of your study but I think it's advisable to take some mix of PT50s and 60s in the middle of your study. I went the conventional route going from PT20-l…

Answer Choice (A) is correct for the reason you outlined here: "so the answer choice (A) weakens this by saying that since in an authoritarian society both are as popular" However, we can't necessarily assume this: the pervasiveness is not fully de…
