I dropped 4 points from my average as well. I didn't sleep until 2/3 the night before from test jitters and I freaked out an insane amount of people at the testing center because I couldn't calm my nerves so I was walking around like the energizer b…

YES!?!?! Omg we were taking the February test together and we had no idea?! I didn't hear any noise because the tech center was really removed. Honestly, the place was freaking awesome. I did have to adjust to the rotating chairs but the table spac…

Just wanted to reiterate this. Missed 5 on the first LR section of PT 73 and made 2 careless mistakes all because I wasn't 100% thorough in my diagramming.

@stepharizona I can't believe this is the resized image. It's taking up my whole screen!! -- not that I'm complaining
-
These are all great suggestions! I guess my point though was more that I couldn't even create hypotheticals in the first place (like #21). I couldn't even devise how #21 was possible and therefore couldn't really apply the rules in a meaningful way.
-
Is this a flawed argument?
-
LOL I have got this down to a system. I was so worried about this because I typically drink 3 cups of coffee a day. I drink 90% of a large Americano (3 shots of espresso) 2 hours before the test -- no more coffee/liquids after that save for the last…

I actually prefer Blueprint's method for logic games above anything else (so if you can get your hands on it, I'd recommend it). It's the bare minimum amount of diagramming (which is useful for me) and the little symbols make sense.

@"Dillon A. Wright" I can't listen or read The New Yorker anymore when I'm studying because I'll just spend all day listening to podcasts or reading old articles.
-
If I see a lot of rules, I'll try to put as many rules together as possible. I used to build as many scenarios as possible but I actually found that to be counterproductive for me. I would get caught up in scenario building that I'd either waste tim…
-
The thing that really tripped me up was #20. I just didn't understand the fact that it was imperative that M had to pass off to J especially because #21 seemed like a direct violation of the rules. I understand that hypotheticals are meant to introd…

@"joegotbored-1" The LSAT reminds me of those few minutes in Mean Girls when Cady gives her internal monologue on how she can't stop talking about Regina George, whether it's just casually dropping her name in conversation or just to hate on her: "i…

Congratulations!!!!! You know you've succeeded when you start to feel like Kanye!

The #1 key to doing well on RC is to read for structure, not content. Now, HOW you read for structure is immensely up for debate and I have changed RC methods countless of times. The things you want to look out for when you read are: 1) Main point…

@lsatcommitted I've had wonderful results with this method. If I'm fully warmed up, I won't miss more than -2 per logical reasoning section. This method has reduced my tendency to panic mid section. No matter how many times I told myself that some…

@nicole.hopkins Oh my!
-
I would recommend taking earlier PTs for the gnarly logic games if you have access to them.
-
@visualcreed is spot on. There are a ton of weaken questions that are like resolve questions where the argument makes an invalid assumption using two groups as support. When this happens, I get super excited normally because it usually goes 1 of 2 w…
-
Oooo I remember this question. So let's start with identifying the conclusion: "stretching doesn't help prevent injuries." Okay cool -- why does the author believe this? Well there's 2 groups that had the same number of injuries, even though some st…
-
Hey @agathamelanie, can you walk us through a weaken question, preferably one you got wrong? I'm curious as to what your reasoning process consists of.
-
Omg the stained glass windows one (also in the 60s)...
-
@alexandergreene93 I start my LR sections on question number 11/12 and finish 11-25 before moving onto 1-11. I know some might say this is time consuming and unnecessary given the fact that some of the hardest questions appear earlier on in this sec…
-
Honestly, I wouldn't worry so much about taking tests you've taken before for 2 reasons: 1) There's a very small chance you remember a bulk of those questions. 2) Sure, it's true that you're PT scores might be a bit inflated but the point isn't to g…

Congrats @nicole.hopkins! You're advice is always so helpful and comes from a sincere desire to help others -- I ain't even mad that you've bested me 2 months in a row :]

Today: PT 73 Wed: review + PT 69 (+exp) Thurs: review + PT 68 (+exp) Friday: Review (reviewing stuff that I did poorly on) Sat: Off Sun: Review (only reviewing stuff that I did well on)
-
The 3 that I never knew how to do in real time until I saw an explanation are: 1) PT 72, Game 4 -- didn't know what the deductions were because I didn't understand the rules 2) The game with mulch 3) The game with the red, green, and white balls tha…

Hack the system!! (kidding of course)

Can I ask how you approach parallel reasoning and parallel flaw questions? I think it's actually possible to reduce the amount of time you spend on these questions so I'm curious as to how you're approaching these right now.

151 --> 170.6 (average), high of 177 and a handful of PT's in the 173-175 range.
