@goalis180 said: @nicole.hopkins how challenging was the PF except? It threw me a little bit that, while four of the AC's were clearly committing the same flaw (attribute applying to parts applies to whole, IIRC), the remaining choice was actually…

@brna0714 said: I know that the shapes are used in the Trainer, maybe I'll review those sections. Shapes! Shapes! Shapes! It's been a while since I did this game ... Have you reviewed shapes/reattempted?

@lschoolgo said: Also articles on sites suggested don't have the same level of complexity as lsat passages which are heavily edited for complexity. To practice reading for RC, read a lot of RC passages. It's as simple as that. I think we all re…

Well! You can always Google. For instance, "LSAT logical reasoning centaurs unicorns" should help you find all LSAT LR Q's relating to centaurs/unicorns. Then once you know which PT/Section/Q it is, you can look it up here. Happy hunting!

@tanes256 said: My BR score leads me to believe that there's still room for improvement with fundamentals. Excellent analysis! You're 100% correct @c.janson35 said: After all, high scorers don't finish sections early because they have great tim…

@goalis180 said: I was doing what you were doing, I was trying to match the reasoning, and although I did not miss any of the 5 practice set problems, it was only 5, and it took me forever to consider each answer choice individually Dude I had an …

@nordeend said: This does not prevent learning from it though. I also just looked it up and it is only 284 pages and they go fast. It's a super fast read, especially if you don't do the drills (I'm not really drilling these days, just PT beastmode…

@cjs11 said: Should I also invest in the LSAT trainer? Yes. @cjs11 said: And because of the rigor that comes with studying, should I put off for Dec? (I started studying last month to be exact and the logic section is the only section that gives…

@bSM45LSAT said: I've decided to purchase the .pdfs off Cambridge for 46-51, meaning I won't have to wait for a book to arrive, plus I like writing them like this as opposed to the bulky booklets Amazon has. Yeah I think this is a good call !

@goalis180 said: Is it me or parallel flaw is more challenging than parallel reasoning, They're a fundamentally different task. For PF, you want to identify the flaw in the stimulus (see LSAT Trainer for flaws!) and then find the AC that "commits…

@aliayers945 said: I really would ideally like to score a 160+, would it be okay if I back off on the Trainer and focus more on the Kaplan course, or should I make more of an effort to make time for both? Knee-jerk response follows: You should a…

@Pacifico said: I had been hesitant to get it because the bad reviews were talking about errors on every page in that edition but I'm glad I took the leap for the new one. Haha ... well ... there are a few relatively minor typos/errors but that …

Ultimately weakening is about exploiting an inherent weakness in an argument. There will already be a flaw or a gap, as @c.janson35 discussed. You're looking for that achilles heel and the AC that best exploits it.

@bSM45LSAT said: I will be done Prep Tests 39-45, by next Wednesday, and unfortunately I don't have 46 until 51. I could obtain those from Amazon, or I could move to Prep test 52 and beyond. Well, that's only 5 tests. I wouldn't sweat it. While th…

Interesting! Let's chat--I think I have a better sense of the vibe you're going for.

I would say a big component of potential success is how you see yourself. If you lack confidence and are concerned about whether school x will let you in, well, then you will ask silly questions like "is this ok for my PS/DS/whatever" or "what kind …

@cnguye15 said: The problem is that it was hard to incorporate Trainer's POE techniques in real test situation. I tried POE but it seems to slow me down because it takes time to cross out all answer choices sometime. You'll get faster with practi…

@nye8870 said: Does a tattoo on your forearm of all the valid/invalid argument forms count as cheating? I was thinking the same!

@fuzzy228 said: Which are you guys using? I used the first edition because I got it about a year ago. If I were you, I'd get the 2015 version (though there's certainly nothing wrong with the older one!).

Just bought the PDF. Thanks, @alexandergreene93 !!!!

I pre-ordered it on June 10th and got some kind of "it's coming, don't bug us" thing in the mail from LSAC. AND YES ... I so excited! OOOH PDF hold on let me buy that right now ... !!!

@c.janson35 said: If you spend 3:30 on each passage reading, that leaves you with 5:15 to answer all of the questions, on average. Just like games, though, the amount of time spent on passages may vary with the level of difficulty. Quick, someone …
