Yes, having BOTH is a possibility. I look at it this way to remember:
• if there's a 'not' (/) at the end then NOT BOTH is possible [A -> /B], but
• if there's a 'positive' (not a not ;p) at the end, then BOTH is possible [/A -> B}.
I look …
I haven't heard anyone mention this and I'm curious as well - please let us know if you contact LSAC and they make a decision.
I use one when I'm doing the games and RC (mostly because I have another computer behind my laptop and I don't have room …
What other books have you been using? If you have your heart set on applying this cycle (with only the November test), I probably wouldn't purchase 7-sage - one month isn't enough for it to be helpful. If you think you might apply next cycle instead…
The only way to do that is to create problem sets. The only way to retake a PT is to actually delete it.
I had to do this when I wanted to change a test I'd taken as flex into regular - I had to enter those three sections in manually from screensho…
Plus, the possible ProctorU issues are CRAZY. Powerscore answered a question on their forum, though, with a 99/98% prediction to January and February both being Flex tests. I can only imagine how impatient LSAC is to get back to having experimental …
For me, intensive BR as @"Hans Zimmer" said: (doing EVERY question and analyzing ... with the thought that eventually, I'll be able to ease up on this when I'm above my goal score (in Phase3 of preptesting)). I'm so excited to finally see some prog…
It's interesting, also, since whatever you get on the October test will come after your great August score. Any score dip could just show that you didn't want to waste a test that you'd already paid for and maybe were still riding the joy of your Au…
It really depends on your school goals: T20? T40? T100? ... And I'm making assumptions here ...
• If you're aiming for a T20 school, I'd cancel anything under a 158. Especially since they know that with score preview, a lot more people will be doin…
You'd have to pour it over into a water bottle - no aluminum cans allowed. You might also want to not tell them what it is, since 'in person conduct' is expected for at home testing.
This post / webinar covers this situation (as part of the prep-testing process, not specifically). That gap means you're entering/entered 'Phase2' in preptesting. There's a bunch of handy tips for Phase2 studying: confidence drills, pacing drills, g…
I wouldn't cancel your 164. Think of it as a 'back-up' score. If you cancel, the score won't show, but a cancel WILL. So they'll know that you took more than one test, they just won't know the score - likely they might even assume (gasp!) that it wa…
The Powerscore Bible for logic games will have a different approach from 7-sage's more 'simplified' approach. The one added benefit is that it talks more about LG question types. It shouldn't be that difficult to integrate the two approaches, since …
I'm wondering if this will give me an inaccurate picture of how well I'm actually doing
Yes, for this reason! I don't take the PTs as Flex because of the range. I miss a few more questions usually on the 2nd LR compared to the 1st and the range…
@ahnendc-1 You were spot-on with all 3. Even your first one fits in as 'abusive.'
I love Ad Hominem, it's fun to say (almost meditative). I feel like I hear it all the time in person and on tv also. ... And yikes, I'm trying so hard to remove it fr…
Don't know if this might help add to your info, but I've done a deep dive into reasoning errors / flaws and I consolidated everything about Ad Hominem as this:
• It's a 'fallacy of relevance,'
• It attacks the person/source of the argument instea…
Princeton Review's Grammar Smart ?? Might be helpful ... although, the newest edition is a bit "dumbed down" from some of the earlier editions, in my opinion.
I used Grammar Smart as a reference in grad school - it's really inexpensive and quick to…
I translated this roughly as:
IF (for architects) --> (discusses function AND aesthetics)
IF (not flawed) --> (discusses function and aesthetics) OR (intended for general audience)
I think the principle nature is context to the story withi…
I took the GRE a long time ago (I used books to prep, so no similar class recommendations), but off-hand from what you're asking - the GRE is MUCH easier than the LSAT and you could probably do really well on the GRE with just two months of study (g…
I think the "best" indicator of whether an in-person January test is possible is how many schools are opening up in-person for the Spring 2021 semester. (Especially schools around you) If the schools are open and we can wear masks and they can space…
By not doing Blind Review, you're ALSO not giving yourself a chance to see how you would have performed on that PT without the time constraint (as your potential high-bar at that moment). ... Least of all what everyone else has said. BR is our chanc…
I ran into this with a PT yesterday (my LR performance dropped from its normal performance) and I wonder if it's the same issue with the tests in the 80s: that the LR are heavier in logic (lawgic) than other tests that are generally more minimal.
I…
@cameron.hicks & @UndoErica The sign-ups open (based on the past Flex tests) about two/three weeks before the actual exam date, so maybe around the 1st of November or end of October. LSAC sends out an email when it's time and then there's a rush…
I usually read from E to A - especially on the long (parallel) or harder questions. Not sure that I've noticed any benefit to it, though. ... But for the extra-long parallel questions, I find it easier to minimize the wrong answer from the bottom-up…
I noticed the biggest improvement in my concentration while going through the Reading Comprehension CC lessons. It was shocking because I was so resistant to changing my habit. Implementing the summaries while reading has really helped me stay focus…
