I have read The LSAT Trainer and am now working my way through Manhattan RC. I think they both offer valuable insight and are each useful in their own right. I didn't find them to be all that similar. Manhattan has helped me to determine the structu…

Since you've already purchased the tests, you can use this list (http://lsatblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/logic-games-categorized-types.html?m=1) to look up by type. If you're looking for PDFs specifically, Cambridge LSAT has the games organized by type…

I used the "negation test" the vast majority of the time to solve this. If the answer choice is negated, it was to completely destroy the argument. I've found this is most helpful when you ensure you're taking a true logical negation not necessarily…

I agree with @hl2270dw It has helped me to focus on reading for structure and creating a "mental map" of the passage so I can refer back quickly for detail questions. I now read to determine the purpose of the text not necessarily every single detai…

@nicole.hopkins and others, I'm very interested in the Blackwings. I am an admitted and unashamed "school supply nerd." My only concern is that LSAC regulations specifically state #2/HB and it looks like the Blackwings are not #2/HB. Judging by th…

@Katie4522 Download them onto your computer and then print at your leisure.

I've found the Cambridge Packets (from Cambridge LSAT) extremely helpful. I typically practice applying concepts as a means of review. I believe the packets are available in PDF format (for a little longer at least) and hard copy. The questions are …

If anyone has the Cambridge Packets, it's #152 in the Necessary Assumption packet.

Thanks!

It appears to me that, "this is the reason that..." can be thought of as conclusion indicator in this case. The first sentence in the stimulus is used to explain or support the second sentence in the stimulus. With that in mind, the argument require…

Thanks for writing this. I found it very helpful. Do you have a website (or a link to another forum post) where you detail the tutoring options that you offer? Thanks!

@EmergingAttorney180 I'm in a similar situation. Although I haven't gone -0 on both LR, I have achieved -0 on one section and generally average around -2. My RC score has fluctuated a frustrating amount but seems to have improved overall. I've obs…

Thanks. I guess I missed the distiction between THE conclusion and A conclusion. I believe that a sub conclusion will be specifically labeled as such in the answer choice. Do you agree, @E.CH.Poon ?
-
Almost as soon as I posted this, it occurred to me that the fragment in question wouldn't support "interest rate hikes generally will be perceived as needlessly restraining a growing economy" even if it were considered a sub conclusion. I labeled "c…

Okay, great. I'm going to go ahead and give it a shot. Thank you both for your help!

Thanks, @emli1000!

I can't speak much to your chances at admission (although the comments offered also seem to fall in line with what I've read in other places) but I did want to add that our diagnostic scores are exactly the same. I scored a 157 on my diagnostic, on …

I'm not sure posting entire questions is permitted since the LSAC has to be paid royalties for their work. Maybe a mod can clarify? @"Dillon A. Wright"

I was able to eliminate answer choice D because, based on the stimulus alone, we know very, very little about "physics papers authored by researchers from multiple laboratories." I can see why D might be tempting but I believe it be comes more clear…

I definitely agree with your point about the writers "balancing" the test. I've noticed that as well. As for improving on flaw questions, I'd recommend purchasing the Cambridge Packets and working your way through those after reviewing the correspo…

It helps me to the think of Must be True questions as very clearly distinct from Most Strongly Supported questions. In other words, you're not looking for an inference that is supported by the entire stimulus necessary, but rather one that could be …

Here is what I understand about the two, take it for what it's worth. A-->/C tells us that every single A is "not C" and it also tells us via the contrapositive that C-->/A, every single C is "not A." The other statement, not (A-->C), simpl…

I really enjoyed doing that. Thanks for sharing!

"Patience you must have, my young padawan." Okay, I'm done.

@alejoroarios Yoda talk is the best kind of talk.

I agree with @jdawg113. Additionally, what has helped me is to stop thinking of them as "dumb mistakes." Like you, initially I was frustrated because I kept making mistakes that I thought were inexcusable. I eventually realized that there is no such…

Based off a comment made by Dillon on the Analytics page, I don't think it's possible. Someone there suggested taking a screenshot of your current score and then erasing and entering your new score. Hope that helps.

I've done 38 but it wouldn't hurt to BR it again. Skype IM works for me. I'll PM you for details once things are all figured out.

I'm interested! Which PT were you planning to use?

Thanks so much for your response. I'm going to focus on pinning down exactly where I'm having trouble. Admittedly, my prep up until this point has been pretty scattered. Appreciate it!
