  • The argument is flawed in that the author fails to consider some really key information. We tend to think that offering a lower price for something would attract more people to buy a product, but the author completely fails to consider that this may…
  • During the 15 minute break you likely will not be allowed to stay in the room, at least that was my experience. Everyone exited the testing room and waited just outside, so yea you should be able to do some exercises and make some noise within reaso…
  • So the conclusion is that the city's economy is in serious decline, because the number of large buildings in downtown is an indicator of Econ health and 60 of the 100+ large buildings have been torn down in 5 years. So, the number of large building…
  • I don't have the book near me right now, but I'll take a shot at it! On sufficient assumption questions you are looking for an assumption that guarantees the truth of the conclusion, so it's almost like there's a starting point (premises) and a fi…
  • As for the wrong answers, A: talks about being at a disadvantage relative to other organisms, which is completely out of scope. C: we know that the flagellum is used to swim, but we don't know about any of its other functions, so we don't care if…
  • This is a taxing question, so don't feel bad about not really understanding it. The conclusion of the argument is basically that only having a few of the parts of the flagellum confers no survival advantage. Why? Because the flagellum needs many p…
  • 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…
  • Hey @smazumdar1! Try reading through this thread, there's a lot of really good advice here from a bunch of different perspectives: http://classic.7sage.com/forums/discussion/3278/how-to-improve-reading-speed-on-rc#latest Feel free to let us know …
  • Good advice from @mes08 here! I would also drill the law based passages. I think you'll find that these passages aren't as hard once you have some level of familiarity with them. A great way to do that is to read the law passages! If you're still lo…
  • I can't tell if these questions are serious because they're so outrageous
  • Sure thing! The museum director sold off paintings he believed to be of inferior quality. Critics were angry at this, claiming that the pieces were actually good ones and therefore selling them was bad for museum going public. A little later on, th…
  • "If I enroll in a course, can I upgrade later? Yup. You can upgrade to a more extensive course and just pay the difference between the two courses. When you upgrade a course, from Starter to Premium or Premium to Ultimate, your access period goes …
  • If they exaggerated the weaknesses of society how could they be serious revelations about the society? I really don't understand your response above, but looking back at your original post, you misunderstand the task. You raise the issue that we d…
  • @cacrv567 well, you shouldn't be relying on the answer choices to see yourself through because 80% of them are designed to mislead you. You should only go to the answers with a clear view of the task at hand. Yes, sometimes you will have to reverse …
  • I look at answer choice A from a slightly different perspective: Just because playwrights look upon their own societies more critically than other societies doesn't mean that they are offering an insincere portrayal of their societies. What if the …
  • 15 in 15 isn't necessarily supposed to leave you any extra time, it's just to help ensure you have enough time to get to all the questions while giving you the opportunity to spend a little extra time on the tough ones.
  • I strive for 15 for 15, but if I don't meet it then I'm alright with it. Sometimes it takes me 18-20 minutes to do the first 15. The only thing that changes is that I don't have the extra time at the end to revisit any questions at the end, but that…
  • Read the passage again. While doing so, try to note why the questions that you circled gave you a hard time and how you could have approached the passage better so that, in the future, these gaps in your understanding can be properly filled in.
  • Great advice from @brna0714 here. I also pause between paragraphs to connect the ideas between them, note how the graphs relate to each other, and to summarize what I just read. Give this approach a try and you'll see that you're better able to reme…
  • A 4 test plateau is relatively normal. Don't give up on the process. If you're getting a 165 for 10 tests in a row, then it might be a reason to worry. That said, I would disagree with you and say that you should keep cranking out test after test. K…
  • Over time, LG sections become easier because you start to get the hang of them. But between the tests the difficulty is pretty consistent. Some tests have easier game counterbalanced by slightly harder LR/RC, sometimes it's the opposite, and sometim…
  • If you're getting easier flaw and weaken questions incorrect, then it probably means you're just rushing through the stimulus without stopping to comprehend the relationship between the premises and the conclusion, and why it all doesn't add up. You…
  • Haha @Pacifico I was purposely not answering this cause I haven't taken 64 yet either. Can't say I wasn't tempted though
  • It also sounds like you're not entirely present during reading. When you start thinking about how you're reading and judging yourself for not remembering everything correctly you're only exacerbating the problem. The LSAT is hard enough when you're …
  • This is a tricky question! The argument is committing a very rare flaw and it is in presuming that someone knows something that is true, and can logically conclude something based on that statement. Let me give you an example because to hard to de…
  • At this point, you don't need the course, the trainer, or the flash cards. Also, don't bother with the 2 tests back to back. I've done it before and all I got out of it was a headache. And you would likely need to take 2 tests back to back for about…
  • This is the closest book I could find for the tests you're looking for: http://www.amazon.com/Real-LSATs-Grouped-Question-Type/dp/1937707784/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1440214174&sr=1-1&keywords=10+real+lsats+grouped+by+question+…
  • @nicole.hopkins said: Plan ahead but allow for some variation. Word.
  • Wow @harrismegan you must be wired during your PTs lol. C4 and coffee! OP: If you're asking about start times, the test doesn't begin at 8:30. I would say it probably starts closer to 9. If you are feeling like you're not completely awake at the s…
