Your discussion of the argument is a very good one, and the mindset you bring to the questions is definitely going to help you with the test, so good job on that! I don't think the flaw of the argument is necessarily the most/almost everyone confla…

The flaw in the argument is that the author is equating, without any support, that time spent on the road=amount of pollution produced, and this is because he says that reducing speed limits does not protect the environment (to get here, I interpret…

@kyle101010 it's unrealistic, or at the very least not necessary, to aim to finish every game under 5 minutes. 7 minutes on hard games is really moving, so nice job on that! No need to put even more pressure on yourself to finish them in under 5 min…

Also, if you do not withdraw before the refund request date, then you don't get your money back. If you do so before the refund date, you only receive $50 of your $175. And if you want to postpone the test to a later date, it's another $90 fee on to…

There really is no secret formula to acing the RC section, and I would guess that most of the advice hinges on the same stuff mixed in with some new terminology so that it feels fresh. RC boils down to understanding what you read, that's it. No scal…

Haha @Pacifico and @nicole.hopkins I did leave my school's library last year with 30 freshly printed PTs, so I'm not all about the iPad life. In any case, the trees are already cut down, so the real question is whether the paper is gonna be used t…

First, you definitely can get to the magical -0 in LG! The games seem impossible at the beginning because they're so new and overwhelming, but if you keep drilling them then they should start to become a lot easier for you! Just keep practicing. A…

Awesome! Congrats on your progress! Keep goin!

LG are slightly different than the rest of the test because you can affirm the right answer often without eliminating wrong answers. There is little to no subtlety in the questions on the game section, which is why you can be confident about moving …

Good point, @Pacifico. This is from a new study done not too long ago: "T]he magnitude of the predictive power of LSAT is modest compared to how heavily schools weight LSAT scores. A 6-point LSAT difference is enough to make a dispositive differenc…
-
Yea, the largest loss is in the loss of the drilling packers for 1-38 or whatever it was, which I didn't fully consider in my above posts. My point was that you can still get most of these tests in the booklets and can just run through them for dril…

Right, it only matters at which stage you wish you allocate your time. You can do so at the beginning by splitting up worlds, or you can take the approach that @alexandergreene93 takes, which is essentially "splitting" (if you allow me this flexibil…

Well, you flipped your argument from it being about the hardworking, studious student to one in which you argue for the marginal student. I don't see how these marginal students have a higher chance of succeeding in law school, as you stated, and ag…
-
"As a result, fewer studious, hard working students will probably take the exam--those that would make "better" lawyers on average in the first place." I disagree with you here. I think that the studious, hard-working students are those who are mos…

The reasoning is that too many exams were being distributed illegally and in violation of their copyright. While there is no action that can completely eliminate the problem, you can see how doing away with the most transferable form of the tests is…

Should be soon! There will be an announcement when they're ready.

@lawgic180 you need the timed practice to build your skills! The two are inseparable. And in any case, the untimed practice to build up your schools is exactly what BR is! One test, timed then untimed, best of both worlds.
-
@cacrv567 nice!!
-
@pujals it depends on how prepared you feel. If you're super confident then take it easy! But if not studying will give you more anxiety than it saves, then do just as much to stay in your comfort zone. There's nothing to say that gains can't be exp…
-
I would seriously recommend slowing down on the test. Don't rush through for time's sake, especially if it's costing you easy questions. Slow and steady, that's how you make yourself less susceptible to the kind of errors you're referencing. Be conf…
-
You will likely not see much of a difference between your diag and your first PT, but don't get discouraged it's completely normal (as is getting discouraged at your first PT post curriculum lol). Taking PTs is a skill all on its own, and since yo…

No problem. The feeling of everything just clicking is great, so I'm glad I could help!

@nye8870 right, I can see how it's a little bit of a stretch, but I can also see how constructing facilities atop a site that contains unexamined evidence risks losing that evidence in the construction. The risk may be small if, for example, appropr…

This is a sneaky question! It confused me at first too for the reasons you said above... First, if a G is going to be shown after an N, we must have 2 N's, because the G already carries an N with it in a GIN block. So what we're really looking at i…

For a principle justification question such as this, we need an answer that will help justify the decision that was made in the stimulus--whether it be a principle that says how to act in a certain situation or a principle that provides a reason to …

I think what's key here is that the argument is conflating having a temporal dimension and having a path. That is, because music is presented in a sequence of notes it has a path that it follows--a certain temporal quality to it. But, it says, paint…

Hey @jmac800! I think you're getting tripped up a little on the double negative. Consider this excercise: How you would phrase the statement, "All children go to school" using negatives? You can't just put a "no" at the beginning because then it …
-
"Spent the entire day drilling RC passages yesterday. I tried a timed section this morning and completely bombed it." It sounds like you were drilling untimed? If so, the drop in score shouldn't be too much of a surprise considering that you are cl…
-
@angelleung there is definitely a strategy! First and foremost, you have to use the standard first question acceptable list as well as your previous hypotheticals--so if you weren't convinced about the merits of working neatly before, this will do t…

Yup, PT65,S4,Q6 is a good example of this. You may think of this in real life as a sort of "indirect cause", but it's causation nonetheless.
