Yep, I legitimately believe if people spent half as much time on RC and LR as they do on LG, the section score distributions would be very very different for most test takers. Also consider that getting LG down to (-0) is easier because there are on…
-
Yeah, I mentioned this previously as well. I think most people consider LG the easiest to improve because they spend the most time improving it. Consider this. How many people have you heard fool-proof RC? Also people can check J.Y.'s free LG videos…

Yeah, trading for Kawhi right now is pointless. It would come at the cost of Ingram, which the Lakers will definitely regret in a few years. Plus, getting Kawhi this year is not going to move the needle at all against Golden State.

Hi @saeednaseeba , I never took a diagnostic but I am pretty sure I would've gotten more than half wrong if I did. The way I improved was with the fool-proof method. I spent a month learning the fundamentals etc. then I spent the next 2 months drill…

Job hunting was really brutal for me, so I only started studying after securing a job offer. I was blessed with a very understanding manager that supported my grad school plans which made studying with a full time job much more bearable. So my advic…

For anyone curious about #24 LR, take the contrapositive of answer choice E and it should be a bit more clear intuitively. The key is that the phrase "only if it is a rehabilitationist theory" is a necessary condition and not a sufficient one.

The LSAT goes through cycles. The LGs from 39-54 were really easy since the difficulty shifted to the LR and RC sections during those PTs. The toughest LGs from what I've seen are 31-37, 55, 57, 62, 65- 68, A, B, C, 72, 75, and 79. For what it's wor…

Agree with @Emily2122 , fool-proof until your pencil breaks and you'll see some very nice gainz.
-
I leave them as blank and mark the answers that I would've picked in BR if I had unlimited time.

Personally never chalked anything up to "dumb mistakes." They were incorrect for a reason. For instance, I used to make bubbling errors all the time, so I created a new bubbling system that worked for me to bypass that issue.
-
Once, it's a miracle. Twice, it's a coincidence. Three times, it's a pattern, so take a few more to find out if it's a fluke.
-
Another point of consideration is that schools only consider scores received within 5 years. Sooo technically I guess your 140s might not be counted as a take if it's been 5 years.
-
Yeah also just took hundreds of photos on my phone of tricky LR questions to review at lunchtime during work.
-
Thanks @lsatplaylist ! Definitely echo @kwdardis words that the cautiousness we feel towards these 15 or so questions is better than being overconfident on all the answer choices.
-
I had the same experience as everyone else here. As a STEM major, I found all science passages to be free points including water bugs, flowing glass, Maize, etc. However, art passages like the one about the Japanese sculptor Noguchi and Eileen Gray …

Thanks and good luck on July!

To add on to what @lsatplaylist and @"Seeking Perfection" said, I almost never finish my sections on time. At the end of each section of my PTs I always have about 5 questions circled that I am unsure of... To give a recent experience, I finished at…

I read an LSAT blog the day before my exam about how to prep the writing sample. The general advice was to take time to write notes on your scratch paper for the pros/cons of both sides. Then start by writing why you think the other side's pros don'…

Hi @catherine-1 , the first sentence states as fact that Monroe became ill after each meal. Therefore, there is no need to ascertain that the presumed cause preceded the presumed effect since it's certain that the illness occurred after the meals wh…

LSAT Trainer and Manhattan Prep books were good too, but you won't really notice score improvements necessarily after finishing the books. They were more helpful in training me on how to review my Reading Sections. Incorrect answers are either unsup…

Yeah I think that sounds about right for the gap in years @akistotle

@JustDoIt and @ebalde1234 said exactly what I was going to say lol. I used up all 80+ PTs for the February exam doing 4 PTs a week (don't do what I did here), so I had to reuse PTs for June. I basically drilled PT 1-40 by question types and PT 70-80…
-
Yeah, the nondisclosed exams are there for LSAC to reuse again in a future date. For example, I think the 2017 Asia exam was the Feb 2015 exam. Each exam takes a long time and $millions of dollars to develop so LSAC tries to save some in the bank.

@"Leah M B" the curve was -10 for a 170, -17 for 165, and -26 for 160.
-
@username_hello ahh I see what you mean now. Answer choice A does certainly put the premise in doubt. But I would echo @FixedDice advice on making it a last option. Furthermore, I think in general these types of questions are easy enough that you wo…
-
Hi @username_hello , I know what you mean in terms of weaken questions that attack the premise. I asked someone else this in the past when I encountered questions with answer choices that attacked the premise rather than the gap between the premise-…

Hi @Guillaume, that's a perfectly normal drop. It happened to me too for PTs 72-78 where my scores just died. The LR questions in the 70s have a lot less Must Be True types and a significantly more Most Strongly Supported types leading to an increas…
