@"Accounts Playable" said: For example, if the answer to a question is A, I try to circle A without reading B-E. I circle the question to remind myself to check the other answers if I have time. Usually, it only takes a few seconds to confirm t…

Why you want to go to law school won't necessarily hurt, but doesn't need to be mentioned at all. The admit office doesn't care why you (and everyone else) wants to attend. They are assessing your contribution to their school's standing and studen…

Good question. Given everyone is at a different point in their studies, groups with correlated scores are more likely to raise and solve issues common to all. The benefits are mutual effectiveness and efficiency. Along these lines, ideally I recom…

@maxim954 to tag on the above advice, have you considered drilling one type of game at a time? Start with mastering the basic one layer sequencing game, then move on to mastering a more complex type, and so on. Start mixed sections only after you …

This normal watch is inexpensive, reliable, and easy to read: http://www.amazon.com/Casio-Sport-Yellow-Analog-MRW-200H-9BVDF/dp/B00BRMYHFE I usually leave the bezel alone and just move the minute/second hands to 12 o'clock, then start time by pres…

@dreamlawschool I changed several habits that helped me break the mid-160s plateau and into the 170s. One of those habits was forcing myself to assess EVERY answer choice, no matter how confident I was, before moving on. Ironically(?) I found myse…

@dreamlawschool said: I keep seeing this first 15 questions in 15 minutes/first 10 questions in 10 minutes pacing strategy mentioned throughout the forum. But is it actually true that the first 15 questions are generally easier than the last 10 or …

@Sheri123 said: @ajcrowel can you please explain what this puzzle method is that you mentioned. I don't think I've ever heard of it. @Sheri123 I believe @ajcrowel is referring to a technique where you use "known" answers (for which yo…

@danielznelson said: - Author's attitude questions generally, if not always, are asking about the author's general attitude in the passage. Finding an AC that may explain his or her attitude on a very particular part of the passage has not been the…

I think any glide path should consider (a) building/sustaining endurance, and (b) honing down weaknesses. Endurance consists of taking 5 sections (added fifth section depends on your section weakness) under simulated test conditions. Honing down w…

@hmccabe1214 said: I have decided to put if off and I'll take the LSAT in September of 2017. Consider taking the June 2017 LSAT, which offers several advantages: + apply for earliest admissions (~Sep onward) with your LSAT score known beforehand…

What would be also be interesting: Frequency of four letters in a row? Has there ever been five?

If you are having timing issues with the early part of a section/test due to a lack of warm-up, I have three recommendations: 1. Why not create a practice section as your warm-up? For example, using old exams (save your fresh ones!), practice unt…

@notwilliamwallace to tag on the detailed explanation by @quinnxzhang (his comments provide invaluable mini-lessons in logic!) the word "only" ALWAYS modifies the necessary condition, but "the only" works as sufficient condition indicator because of…

@"kon-peki" said: I need some advice on how to improve on "retaining" information; specifically for LR. I recommend two changes to what you do: 1. First, don't try to memorize everything in the stimulus. Rather, focus on the conclusion. Second,…

@drecupcake said: We're given premises with one premise missing that helps us arrive at the conclusion. In this case: F U [find missing premise] ----------------------------------- U /I Missing Premise: F --> /I Completed chain: U F -->…

tldr; to tag on the good advice on this thread, if you do choose to take caffeine, do so in moderation and do not combine with other stimulants. @"Nicole Hopkins" said: Make sure you practice a routine with them now and do not deviate from that ro…

Here's more inspiration! For advice (rather than opinions, including my own) about scoring 180 I recommend listening to actual 180 scorers. Here's an excerpt: "I was unlucky” is not the right answer, because it excuses you from taking any correcti…

@"Cant Get Right" said: If you use a rule to split, you can scratch out the rule and thus reduce the complexity of the information you have to apply to the board This, plus consider how your splits force in play more rules or variables (i.e., infe…

My LR sense is tingling. The back and forth on this thread is rife with flawed reasoning! Anyway back on topic: @Serveded said: I circle nearly half of the questions and review, I only manage to correct a few and sometimes end up undoing what I wo…

@"Jonathan Wang" I think everyone agrees about the irreplaceable value of seeking Mastery - which yields benefits in its never-ending journey - and appreciates your wary perspective as an experienced tutor warning against dangerous shortcuts. And r…

The optimal methodology/approach ought to be independent of its individual mastery. For most of us mortals I do think the LG format has operative differences from LR/RC that situationally preclude checking every answer choice, every time: 1. Use o…

Please clarify me if I misunderstand but, AFTER making a final selection, what circumstances justify immediately continuing to check the other non-selected answers? My understanding is that POE is always used (1) BEFORE final selection in order to …

@"Purple Paris" said: Does "more often than not" mean most? Yes, in terms of frequency: "More often than not" = "Most of the time" or "Usually" To clarify your confusion: "More and more frequently" refers to a change in frequency, while "Most of …

For inferences, I try to focus on common elements (explicit relationships) and number-based constraints (what options become no longer allowed). The former is relatively obvious. The latter is based on limited slots left (especially grouping games…

This is an uncommon question type (Explain EXCEPT) that asks you to account for disconnects in the fact set (no argument) presented in the stimulus. Four non-credited answers will contribute something (1%+) toward resolving this disconnect; the one…

@jimenezja.jj said: Should I just pick the correct answer and continue or actually double check. How does Question type or POE fit into your methodology? Or are you just checking every answer in order? Some Q types (e.g., acceptable situation, C…

Hey don't give up! Everyone learns differently so don't be discouraged if a specific method doesn't work for you. First, take a break (stop repeating whatever you are doing) until you can ID what specifically is holding you back. It's important t…
