If you're not shooting for perfection, you're gonna leave a lot of material unlearned and that's gonna give you a big risk cause you essentially have no margin for error if you're going for your target score. I think the core curriculum is a bit ove…
-
I know some people like Loophole but I found it way overcomplicated without really giving any technique for the arguments so I would avoid that. Buy Superprep I and II and work through those.
-
if you're asking 15 people for recommendations, that seems to indicate that you're in search of someone who could strongly support you, rather than having strong candidates right off the bat. the declining due to only being online seems like a red-h…
-
I disagree with these above comments. brush up on your technique first, you'll likely get a much higher score, that's gonna make you feel a lot better mentally
-
Don't. Learn all the question and answer types and all the strategies, then use the course for what you have specific problems on. that way you can get the most out of the course by keeping it targeted and have your studying be a lot more efficient
-
I think isolating question types as "PSAr" might be the issue. I'm guessing that you mean "pseudo sufficient assumption," as if the LSAT were asking you for a an assumption that was not quite sufficient, but pseudo means "false," and I have never se…
-
none of those things would ever happen.
-
come up with explicit general reason for each wrong/write answer (e.g. equivocation in answer, opposite answer, etc) at the start you may need more detail but try to cut down on detail as you keep going
-
what do you mean "meant blank"? does that mean you could not solve a single question? it sounds like you haven't memorized the technique for each section.
-
you should absolutely not shift. identifying conclusion the most important skill in LR, because pretty much every question is about the gap in the argument (except for must be true based on question basically), which you cannot do without identifyin…
-
didn't use that all and currently scoring around -2. imo way overcomplicated, unless your a freshman in college and want to build up really studying. I would limit yourself to questions you really can't figure out and look at the solutions, unless y…
-
got to study way more. lack of consistency probably means that you're not familiar with all the potential question types, which can differ somewhat from test to test, so if you know some of them and those are the ones that appear more often or less …
-
plateauing on 4 pt's isn't rally a plateau. if that's what you are doing for prep, can't expect to have much of a difference or any difference at all after 10 hours of work
-
Need more clarity on what you mean: I do you "not understand it" and "decently understand it" at the same time. But the logic on the lsat should be pretty cut and try: translate with arrows (clouds lead to rain is the same as A => , only valid in…
-
please post specifics on how you are studying because we cannot give feedback on how you can improve without knowing what you are doing
-
got to start taking more tests asap.
-
you got to chain/translate the argument into logic or look for a rephrase of something in the argument
-
unrealistic expectations. not gonna do well without a lot of studying.
-
no trick got to memorize all the techniques and answer types. but scope on LR can pretty much always get you a -6 imo
-
none of them likely. prep test 99 came out years ago. I would definitely stay away from any of the tests after 99. since they're not made by LSAC, don't know how accurate the scale really is. prep tests 1-20 or 21 are more difficult as they are made…
-
memorize all the techniques and retake a later test if you can, if not just use scope flaw as much as possible
-
very rare for a math question to appear in a logical reasoning section, but if you want to practice conditional logic then I would focus on parallel questions cause those are generally the only ones you need to translate, you can also read this book…
-
I would focus on learning the strategies for the question, and learning the wrong answer types. For example for a strengthen you have the general technique [expand gap most on net from both ends or if not that from the weaker end or if not from the …
-
yeah I wouldn't do that. I feel like that strategy is more for beginners who can't hold two passages in their head at once.
-
probably luck for a lot of those 4 and 5's.
-
I would do an absolute ton of practice at least 6 hours a day. you want to be super in form and peaking for that test.
-
nah you got to take a ton more. I've done 1 about 180 so far (took the first 100, just finished test 75. I would highly recommend not taking the tests that are rearranged to be modern as the scale can be very different. earlier tests are harder anyw…
-
what I do is take 5 tests in a row, then blind review once, then blind review again. that way you're getting the benefits of spaced repetition into your test, and it keeps you aware of the changes that can occur every few tests.
-
I would say probably not. I read The Loophole and found it extremely unhelpful. I read RC Dragon which was solid but there are a ton of spelling mistakes which is pretty frustrating for a 500 page book. If you're missing that many, seems like you're…
-
the way you are writing it means that two statements are equivalent. A "if and only if B" means that A implies B and B implies A, which is diagrammed A B, whose contrastive is not(A) if and only if not(B) or not(A) not(B), so A and B are both nece…
