@"The 180 Bro" here's a schedule of the remaining BR groups: https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=uo98fv4muqt7l3t87off6q7960@group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Chicago

You're not doing anything wrong, except placing undue stress on yourself by focusing on the negative. Just keep practicing! With a strong grasp on the fundamentals (as evident by your BR scores), you should be at your target score soon.

Retakes aren't necessarily bad, but the consensus is to take the test when you at absolutely prepared for it so you only have to take it once because obviously that's ideal. A higher score on a retake is always better than a lower score on a first t…

@"Alex Short" pre-phrasing *all* flawed questions may be a stop short of absolutely necessary, but it is one of the key components of answering flawed questions correctly. How well you're able to pre-phrase shows how well you understand what the arg…

If you have time, go back to the ones you haven't 100% affirmatively proved as true with a mini-diagram. This is as good a place as any to start. And on these questions, you can take the extra time to disprove the remaining choices as well. This sho…
-
Just a side note: ditch the "type 2S" and "type 12" etc. terminology. It's convoluted and unnecessary. Just recognize that the question you are working on is a strengthen or weaken and don't spend the extra effort trying to reclassify it according t…

Practice makes perfect again! Good stuff.

Yup, if you don't take a break then you can finish a 4-section test in a cool 2 hours and 20 minutes which is definitely doable. I do feel like 1 PT a week is entering "not enough" territory, but if you are doing other timed work in addition then yo…

Some people really like the LSAT watches. I use just a cheap watch from Target/Walmart with a rotating bezel and rotate it after each section.
-
Correct, you may have something like 20ish seconds in between the sections. Only enough time time for the proctor to read the 2 or 3 lines of instructions.
-
Particularly on dense passages, or on passages that I don't get as good a feel of, I like to summarize what I read after each paragraph for content and structure, especially how the paragraph or parts of it relate to the preceding graphs and what I …
-
6 section tests are definitely not necessary. I would throw in some 5 section tests when you have time though. Don't want to be caught off guard on test day with an experimental 4th section and then your focus falls off during your real 5th section.…

Great advice @lpadr009! This also applies to the other sections as well. The more you do, the more familiar you become, the faster you'll go.
-
If you are only concerned about printing and drilling LR and RC packets and you have an iPad, then you can download a simple annotating app to use in conjunction with a stylus to drill these questions. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this for full …
-
Also, knowing all of the valid and invalid argument structures will be really helpful. Have to know these cold.
-
I would definitely recommend retaking some or all of the preptests between 52 and 64, and then using 65-75 as you run up to the test. Retakes are a really solid way of firming up your skills and uncovering glaring weaknesses, so even if the score is…

Haha @Pacifico I literally just shouted you out in the same way on another thread
-
+1 to everything @Pacifico said... Really good advice to learn from

Mapping out questions is not only for practice; if there were no time to map out on the test then there would be no reason to practice it so heavily. It's a tool in your arsenal to use when you take a test. Sometimes mapping questions will allow you…
-
Especially when you're starting out, fluctuations like that are completely normal. All that has to happen to produce a 5 point difference is that you miss 2 more questions that you find harder in each section. As you progress, the number of question…
-
Just keep practicing and keep PT'ing! Your speed will come as you get more familiar with the test. Also, get in the habit of predicting answers after you diagnose the flaw. This skill will really help to improve your speed once you get it down pat. …
-
In any case, if it is taking 30-40 minutes on a game to disprove/prove every incorrect/correct answer then you're not understanding the workings of the game as well as you should be. If you get to the point where you can arrive at the right answer f…
-
The trainer's intro to flaws and the accompanying drills are really good and help build and intuitive understanding of what exactly you're looking for on flaw questions. You just need to get to the point where you're predicting the flaws as the ques…

There's also some good advice about NA here: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/comment/20239

As a MBF question with 2 conditional statements, it's a good bet that the correct answer will directly violate one of the general principles that was stated. I started with the easier one to disprove: IA-->AFG That is, if something is an immor…

I think the issue with this questions is what the paradox really is: why is it valuable for scientists to study mistaken studies if they are concerned to discover the truth? In that respect, A doesn't help us out. We aren't wondering why scientist…

@Pacifico I just checked their Twitter and they have a solid 5 followers. If that doesn't scream legit then idk what does
