168 is still really good! I don't have the chart in front of me so I don't remember the actual difference between how many you got wrong for 168 and 170 but I don't think it's something to be upset about. This is the beginning of your PT journey and…
Listen to some biology and physics based podcasts. Read some articles or books on those topics to familiarize yourself and get rid of your anxiety. I recently read "The Grand Design" by Stephen Hawking and while I have not become a physicist overnig…
Hey there,
That's an example of circular reasoning. It's good you're trying to familiarize yourself with it since it's one of the most common flawed argument types out there. I had the pleasure (?) of coming across a couple of these types recently,…
Its super important! They help you with parallel reasoning, parallel flaw, flaw, sufficient assumption, psa, principle, mbt. I might be missing a question type or two. The better understanding you have, the more freebies you'll have because the stru…
This may not be a particularly helpful answer but it might be lack of familiarity. If it's a timing thing then it could be underconfidence stemming from lack of exposure. I know that there are q-types I spend too much time on and it's because as the…
Professor X is has been studying the Kepler-22 B for 3 months. For the first time, his calculations have lead him to the conclusion that there are GRB's coming from the planet. GRB's can arise only if there is life. Therefore, we can conclude tha…
"Some people believe that all you need to succeed on the lsat is 3 months of study. Therefore, since jessica has been studying for 3 months, she'll succeed."
This arguments falsely equates the opinion of some people as fact. As if it's empirically …
It could also be lack of confidence. Try drilling the specific question types you spend too long on and BR them thoroughly, reinforcing the right reasoning may help you become faster. I'm doing this right now for NA and flaw question types. I realiz…
@"paulmv.benthem" delaying always sucks but just think of how prepared you'll be for September! And if need be, november. Or maybe I'm just greedy and am happy to have another person in the BR group
Go take some time off from studying to celebrate…
@levonm7 So I personally had a diagnostic of 144. I used the trainer and went up by 10 points ish. After that, I tried the power score bible and it didn't make a difference. For me, those two methods weren't able address the fundamental. There was s…
@lsatplaylist try to figure out what's confusing you, the content or the structure. Sometimes, if the grammar or content confuse me, breaking the stimulus down to its structure helps. If it's content you're unfamiliar with, try googling the idea or …
You can apply the foolproof method to the problem sets, which is what I've been doing. By foolproofing the games that are covered in the CC (screen shots work) I'm able to get a better handle on a game before moving on. This is all new stuff so it m…
What is your diagnostic score? Also, 160+ is a range of 160-180. Are you aiming more towards the lower end of 160 or the 170s? Depending on the difference between diagnostic and goal score, the strategies you use are different. It also depends on wh…
Questions on LR that I've answered correctly 9/10 I almost always go back and change my answer to an incorrect one. I am getting -14 on LR on each section. It just seems like I haven't put any work in at all.
Maybe try a confidence drill where …
Yess 100%! Also, can I add, postponing or needing more time than you thought you would doesn't make you dumb or reflect on your character. It's normal and natural.
I haven't taken the test again since I erroneously took it the first time, so I don't know how helpful my comment will be but I honestly don't see the fuss people make about having the experience. All I took from the experience was the amount of wai…
