  • I would say it's more beneficial after the entire test because it is best to simulate actual testing conditions. There's a certain amount of mental stamina that's required to do 4/5 sections, and it's only replicated by doing these sections as you w…

  • Actually @rdelamat I think this is exactly what you're looking for: https://www.cambridgelsat.com/resources/data/preptest-classifications/
  • @rdelamat RC categorization is usually done only by passage type, and because the categories are rather broad I'm not sure how helpful it really is (I did find this, though: https://www.cambridgelsat.com/resources/data/reading-comprehension-topics/)…
  • I found this list recently and it's pretty comprehensive: http://lsatblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/lsat-logical-reasoning-spreadsheet.html?m=1 Drilling helps solidify your fundamentals! It's an important part of your study process because it helps you …
  • I'd agree with @Pacifico and say that drilling at this point may be unnecessary, but if you do want to then drilling complete sections is more beneficial than doing problem sets. On the whole it seems like a really good plan, and if you want to cont…
  • Your explanation looks solid, and the reasonings that you give for all of the incorrect answers definitely could be true based on the information in the stimulus. What is most important to note here is exactly what you did: answer choice B has absol…
  • I can relate to this insofar as I acknowledge that I was really lucky not to have had to work throughout the majority of my prep; it can be done, and a lot of people here on the forums are really admirable for all of the work/life/stuff that they ha…
  • Yea, the second way you interpreted "address" there is the way to go; "address" loosely meaning doing some about it. For E, I'm not sure that you can rephrase the answer the way that you did. We don't know that giving the report a single focus wou…
  • If you want, you can give me a keyword from a random selection of questions; if I can confirm them, then there's a high chance that there's not any inaccuracies (if I'm understanding you correctly).
  • I took a look at the question you referenced above, and am thinking you may have put the wrong one. I don't know how you would even go about diagramming PT29,S1,Q7 if you were asked specifically to do so, as this question doesn't have any Lawgic in …

  • Yup, keep cranking away at the PTs. Probably save the newest Ten Actuals for a little while and really dive into the book of 40s or 50s. Finish that book with really solid BRs and then jump into the 60s! Or mix them around, it doesn't matter. What m…
  • LG I sometimes finish 10-15 minutes early, more often than not 5ish minutes early. RC I'm either on time or a couple minutes early--enough to go back and review 1 or 2 questions buts that's it. LR I'm consistently 3-5 minutes early, although the …
  • I volunteer as tribute!! You guys really are the best. Thanks so much!
  • It's a most strongly supported type of question, meaning 4 answers will have no support and 1 answer will. Negating choices is a strategy used to find necessary assumptions, not inferences. You are right in saying that there is no conclusion because…
  • I also like this beach example because it's a good way to show that the necessary can stand all by itself, and often does! There could be hundreds of reasons why I don't go to the beach independent of rain. For example, if I'm really sunburned, if …
  • Try to fit it in somewhere before you start the curriculum; as @Pacifico said the exact time you take it is immaterial. Even now I take my practice tests at all different times and I've been studying for a while. Use the proctor to time it when you …
  • I second @Pacifico's plan. Good stuff.
  • The Superprep books offer 3 LSATs with explanations by LSAC. They are a good resource if you are looking for tests and explanations, but if you want to specifically drill then you would probably be better off with something else (you would only be g…
  • @nicole.hopkins put it right next to your "intellectually dauntless" tattoo!
  • Yes, if the author is confusing a necessary condition to be a sufficient condition, that means that he or she is interpreting a necessary condition to be sufficient. For example: If it's raining, I won't go to the beach. I didn't go to the beach.…
  • Also, the fact that one person did 20 tests 3 times and got a 180 doesn't mean that it's a good idea. I'm sure there's some people out there that got a 180 without ever studying for the test, but I wouldn't recommend that either.
  • Pretty sure you should take new tests instead of the same tests over and over. Not sure why you would want to take tests for a third time when you could take a test you haven't seen before. Not only will you remember the questions by the third time,…
  • I agree with everything that @nicole.hopkins said. Depending on how long ago you've taken a test, it may be almost as representative as a new one. There's times when I do retakes (like today) and think to myself, "Oh I sort of remember this question…
  • I would also recommend more PTs before you think about going back through the curriculum. Also, there's comes a point where endless drilling is going to produce diminishing returns. Part of the skill involved with the test is knowing how to identify…
  • @bsm45lsat finishing the test faster doesn't mean you'll get higher scores, and if anything, I would think it would probably end up being detrimental. You don't want to speed through the reading of stimuli to get to the answers. That's wholly counte…
  • That's awesome, congrats! Don't let up now.

  • Also, don't make your default position "I got lucky." Celebrate your victories with the LSAT, no matter how small. It's all part of the progression.
