"You must cease allowing yourself to spend longer than 1:20 on any single question on your first attempt at it. At 1:20, your job is to box it like crazy, dog ear the page, and pull the trigger on a guess."

Just keep practicing! Really. That's the only way to get faster at the test. Speed is directly related to proficiency, and I think the best way to "gain" speed is by (1) slowing down your stimulus read so you can articulate flaws and predict answers…
"At this point I am wondering what I can do to improve my score more. I just found it very weird how it seems everyone else is so easily able to improve their score on the lsat going from 140s and 150s to high 160s, and I have to struggle studying m…
"American LSAT students are stupid. We get beat by China, we get beat my Mexico, Japan. Some of those takers, I assume, are smart. But we need to make the LSAT great again. Turn to section 2, read the directions, and begin working...or don't, I'm wo…
This question is actually from PT59, S3, Q24
Let's take a second to understand what the argument is saying.
First, it starts off by saying 18th Century Euro Aesthetics (18EA) was reasonably good at explaining all art. This doesn't seem like too hi…
Worried about the merits of retakes? Retaking is definitely beneficial and really humbles you. A perfect example of this is the unicorn/centaur question on PT52 (which, if you've been through all the material... The North Remembers).I got it wrong t…
Definitely do not do two practice exams a day until October. Here's a BR group page that was floating around. Is this still going on @DumbHollywoodActor?

The problem it seems is the first clause, and the placement of "never" is confusing you.
You cannot just simply negate the clause and keep it in the same place.
Consider this: "no cats are dogs"
You would diagram this as "if Cat, then not dog".…
Another way to read the first sentence:
If a handmade foundation is found, it is never on a wig that does not use human hair.
"Never...not" may be confusing you. So let me ask you this: what does it mean if I said "it's never not raining in South…
"Handmade foundations are never used on wigs that do not use human hair"
So what do we know about wigs that do not use human hair? Is there anything that must be true about these wigs? In fact, there is: on these wigs it must be true that handmade …

The Cave is completely filled with water, and yet it is filled with stalagmites. How are stalagmites formed? Water drips from the ceiling onto a single spot and, over time, the mineral deposits form pillars.
Wait, how could water drip fr…
Hey @yhchoi1687!
One problem may be with how you diagrammed the first sentence, because the variable is "food production increase as population increase", not just FPI. Also, we know that tech improvements will *enable* this to happen, but this doe…
The only real remedy for this is to confirm the rules to your diagram/rule notations before progressing to the questions, so give that a try.
As a far as the nerves go, make sure you taking enough practice tests so that you can get used to the leve…
A 167 in December is completely feasible and you should expect it of yourself with the commitment you're making studying. Get it in your mind now! You're going to get a 167 by December.
Good luck! Continue to ask questions whenever you need help a…
In regards to RC, there's a lot of good advice out there floating around in the forums, so I'll offer some of my own advice that I've given before, and give you a link to a thread with a lot of great stuff:
There really is no secret formula to acin…
If you're having trouble with the conditional heavy MBT then you may just want to focus on those specifically. Either way, POE is a great help by really focusing in on the answer choices because MBT is a high bar to pass.
As for your SA assumption…
If your goal is a 180, and I have weird feeling that it may be, then you should really not be short changing your BR. Assuming that a 160s BR would necessarily be a 170s BR if you did RC is sort of like calling a 65 foot putt from the fringe a gimme…
That's a helpful list! Just note that it's not inclusive, so be sure to still check with your schools' websites if they aren't included there (and, to be honest, even if they are; you wouldn't want to risk anything lol).
It's also important to remember that a 170s score is the goal, and that you're just starting out on PTs right now. I don't think it's an issue that your BR score was a 158. PTs aren't just a tool to validate your progress with a tangible score, but …
I think the reason A is incorrect is because the conclusion isn't valid due to the limited first premise. What I mean is, the fist sentence talks about everyone at TRF who was given the opportunity to purchase insurance did so, and the conclusion is…
This was a tough question, and none of the answers really looked great to me. I settled on E being the best because we need something to support the idea that new weapons were used, and only E comes close. My problem with E initially was that I was …
It really depends on which schools you are aiming for. At least some of the T14 does not accept the February LSAT for Fall admission, but I do believe it differs based on the school. This is something you could find on each school's website.
