@Preferences that wasn't very helpful. There's no rule that people that score above a certain threshold are not allowed to ask for advice on how to improve, and unless someone is scoring 180 every single time there's always room for improvement. An…

Thank you @"Dillon A. Wright" , looks good now!

RC question type analysis is blank for me as well ( iOS mobile app).
-
Congrats! Less of a miracle and more of a well deserved accomplishment if you ask me!
-
@"Can’t Get Right" High-five for your 180 BR! Based on your responses in the forums, I knew you were up there!
-
I think the easy questions are less likely to have a subconclusion at all. For the more difficult questions that do, yeah, as @MrSamlam said I don't think there's a pattern. The added difficulty with subconclusions comes from the fact that you hav…

There are plenty of LR/LG sections to practice with in the PT's 1-35. You don't need to burn through fresh PTs before you have a thorough understanding of the curriculum and you've done some practice drills from the early PTs. And I second pushing …

@"Can’t Get Right" I'm very lucky to have a pretty flexible job without "core" hours, and a commute amenable to public transportation, so that helps a ton. I don't mind a bit of running and some studying on the train in exchange for more home/famil…
-
Is there any way you can replace your car commute with public transportation? I do a lot of reading/videos/BR on the train, so I only need to find extra time for PT's (I do a couple of game sections during lunch break as well). I am in awe of @apubl…

The first one is a biconditional and the second one is a conditional (just as you both describe it). The first one combines the two indicators "is" (necessary) and "any" (sufficient) referring to the same construct "work of art that exploits the mus…

I'm officially jealous of all of you. I take my PT's after work, in my work building, so I usually grab all my belongings like the building is on fire and run-walk the mile and a half to the train station to catch the next train home (which invariab…
-
Yes, they do. Bear in mind that only a small proportion of LR questions are MBT/MBF/CBT/CBF though.
-
That is great advice @skaplan9190! I especially like the advice to listen to the explanations even if you get the questions right because JY goes through ALL answer choices and explains why the right one is right and the wrong ones are wrong, so yo…
-
@"Can’t Get Right" did get it right, as usual! I actually picked those two because they were key for answering 2 questions in the last few PT's I did. I missed the first. The paragraph said exactly that "so and so hypothesized that immune cells do …

How about you imagine that your kid is asking you with big round eyes to take a look at this passage because she's having trouble with answering some homework questions, and she's going to fail the class if she misses them. She believes that you sh…
-
The simple (and not very helpful) answer would be that B is not relevant because it's not a flaw in this specific argument, and the question asks us to identify a flaw. Why is it not a flaw? Because even if the author did take B into consideration…

I think sometimes focusing on underlining/diagramming in RC takes away from focusing on reading for structure. Heavy marking works for some people (maybe they are better at remembering the structure than at locating details), but doesn't for others…
-
The way they make sure D is ironclad is by making Professor Jameson an expert in "the physiology of smell", not in perfumes or smells in general. He is basically an expert in how noses and brains work to detect smells, which definitely doesn't make …
-
"All that a field of study requires" is another way of saying "this is a sufficient condition" (All it requires - it doesn't require anything else - it's sufficient by itself). So you're both right. The Superprep explanation just chose an odd way …

Best use of your time would be to FoolProof the games - here's a detailed description of the foolproof method in action https://classic.7sage.com/discussion#/discussion/2737/logic-games-attack-strategy. Going from a -9 to a -2 would push you from 16…

I'm imagining being in the shoes of the office manager, and the stationery supplier is trying to push their recycled paper on me. I don't want it because I don't think it's good enough for our business. Instead of telling me that THEIR recycled pa…

I think PTC is included in the first Superprep Book, along with PTA and PTB, and PTC2 is the one "new" PrepTest included in SuperPrep II (the other two are previously disclosed, I believe 62 and 65)
-
@LostInLawLawLand - The advantage to taking June, assuming you are completely prepared by June, is that you still have September as a backup, if something goes terribly awry (for US schools there's also December and sometimes Feb, but it looks like…
-
I think for this specific question (and probably for similar questions) the LSAT writers are very careful to phrase the other people's opinion as an opinion ("it has been said") and the author's opinion as facts (but people with powerful voices are …
-
With the limited information you've provided I'd say sign up for September. Not so much because of the test center availability, but because it doesn't sound like you've done any prep since February (I might have misread your post, apologies if you…
-
You are understanding the first one perfectly. The second one assumes that there are only two mutually exclusive alternatives. (So it assumes if you don't do A you have to do B and you can't do both). I'm not sure what you mean by "what they're c…
-
I think the decision to go with at least the starter package is a very good one. For LR you can skip the basic stuff if you have it down pat, but JY has some very practical points he makes over and over that can really help eliminate trap answers …
-
In addition to the advice from @"Jonathan Wang", I'd say that it doesn't look like you've practiced the LG's enough. 1-26 is only ~30% of all the games out there. If you're intent on that mid-170, and games are your weak point, you should aim for p…
-
The answers above pretty much have it covered. I'd add that for the games it matters a lot what kind of game it is. If it's a very garden variety one (even a difficult one) it won't matter a whole lot, especially if it's been a while since you've …

Looks like your scores correlate well with how other people felt about those sections. 54 is rated Easiest, 55 is rated Easier, 56 is Medium and 57 is Harder (that's the one with the purple dinosaurs). The early 40's have a few difficult tests, aft…
