Difficult to overcome T14 self-perpetuating momentum Yoda says

As another option to the great points made thus far: When applicable I place working diagrams directly below the master diagram/frames. The purpose of "stacking" solutions is to (1) facilitate routine use of previous work, and (2) reveal further i…

If you're seeking a specific answer, it's really hard to determine without more specific information. From your review of PT71 what types of errors did you commit that you did not for the previous PTs listed - any trends or patterns? This would be…

More specific advice requires more specific information. That said, if your PT scores are not improving then stop burning thru PTs (reinforcing the same bad habits) until you back up to change whatever is wrong. With the test less than one week aw…

Your four examples actually use just one form ("the only...") which may explain part of the confusion. Specifically, your third and fourth examples are missing and ought to include the word "the": - THE only reason that any problem remains unsolved…

Agree with everyone. Frankly I advise against a JD if (1) tuition wasn't at least partially covered and (2) outside T14 - possible exception being a top regional school but only if you 100% intend to work there and nowhere else. There is a simple …

Causal vs. Conditional Reasoning
-
As long as this sufficient condition is met, the necessary condition is met. This sufficient condition is met only as long as the necessary condition is met.

Two recommendations: 1. Learn Flaw Patterns. Akin to LG inferences, recognizing Flaw Patterns are key to solving Flaw Qs quickly. There are only so many types of flaws and the LSAT must recycle them. This skill also helps you eliminate wrong an…

PS Bibles provide a solid foundation. Everything is methodically broken down, categorized and explained in minute detail. Unfortunately for a limited time frame this highly analytical approach tends to require time to fully digest. Therefore,…

Thank you for the quick response and clear breakdown. In hindsight and with your explanations Answer E makes sense. How would you advise any approach to such hard inference questions under timed conditions? Here's what I did and why: ----- 1. R…

PT54.S2.Q15 Flaws are tough questions because there are many possibilities and so there is a tendency to skip to the answer choices. Don't do this! BEFORE looking at any answers, take a moment and try to figure out what's wrong with the argument T…

PT54.S2.Q18 Although a Principle question, note both Answer A and C are logical condition statements. Therefore, one test is to quickly diagram for comparison: Argument: P: UI --> CE (Understand Issue --> Consider Evidence) C: SP --> …

@anna.buczek: Faced with two "acceptable" answers, seek out the WRONG answer. Both answers contain various correct elements (seemingly Could Be True) but one answer has an incorrect element (Must Be False) - to seek out and eliminate with extreme …

I agree with Pacifico's advice, but specifically recommend October. June would be acceptable only if you could retake later; but being your third retake this must absolutely count. October allows more preparation time without delaying early admiss…

Hi Anna: Could you share any specific example problems along with your thought process on why, between two answers left, you chose the incorrect (instead of the correct) answer? Without specific details you will get general hit-or-miss tips that ma…

Noureenhashim: Could you cite any specific questions and share your reasoning for selecting, between the two remaining choices, the wrong answer over the right answer? Being pattern suggests a consistent reasoning error but any details would help …

...but that doesn't excuse you from knowing how it works. I understand what OP is seeking, but technically the term "intuitive skills" seems impossible by definition (intuitive = arrived at without reason or evidence) if not inherently contradictor…

Yes, and starting out LGs were slow for me, too. IMO you have the beginnings of the right approach - improve accuracy then speed. Improving speed requires tracking data (time it takes you, by common Game type) to ID and prioritize which weaknesses …
