Ultimate+ gives you access to JY's explanations for the most recent PT's (73-77), as well as the question bank and hard problem sets - only you can decide if that's worth the extra cost for your situation. If you think you are likely to make use of…

There are always going to be substantially more possible worlds than what the rules will allow you to determine, so I don't think it's beneficial to try and solve for every possible world. Rather than try to completely solve x many boards, I try to …

Maybe I'm going against conventional wisdom here, but for a stem as convoluted as that I'd just glance at it and go right back to the stimulus, trying to understand the argument as well as I could, then read the stem thoroughly at the end. The habi…

More to the general point of redoing the newer PT's - I'm firmly in the camp of redo them, even if you remember some of the questions. Just think of the retakes as "delayed BR's". The LSAT is like a good movie - every time you see it you discover…

Regarding the games, I think both @quinnxzhang and @"Cant Get Right" have valid points: seeing with your own eyes sooner rather than later what people mean by "the weird games from 72 and 77" and developing a strategy to deal with such a game appear…

I also find that while the logic is the same, and therefore very very useful to practice, the earlier LR lack some of the clarity and elegance of the later ones. I'd say they are more difficult in that respect (no? just me?). So, don't worry if yo…

You don't have to decide right now whether or not you need a course. Take a couple of PT's (assuming you have some fresh ones left) with your new time limit. That alone can make an enormous difference. LSAC is saying that your 54 minutes are equiv…

"Astronomical rent" is definitely a relative term. I used to live in La Jolla, CA, so I thought Cambridge area rents were actually very reasonable, especially if you're willing to be a bus/subway ride away from Harvard Sq. They would still count …
-
I never noticed missing a specific "type" of question in LR, so I can't really speak from personal experience, but I'd say it might be beneficial to go over the appropriate curriculum video and drill a handful (about the length of a "problem set" wo…

@allison.gill.sanford said: I decided on Harvard. Feel like I'm in a dream right now Congratulations on Harvard! I live in the Boston suburbs, feel free to ask any questions you might have about the area. It's definitely different from the west c…

@StopLawying said: Great advice here, good thread. The one thing I'd add is to take Uber/Lyft to your testing center. Well worth the $ in my opinion to avoid any added stress. How do you get an Uber without a phone? That was going to …

Congratulations! Here's to keeping that positive momentum and confidence straight into June!
-
@quinnxzhang that was a brilliant explanation. The use of parentheses is imo crucial to keep everything straight, especially if you have to draw contrapositives. I Just wanted to add that I've come across two games that make use of this kind of co…
-
I think for getting how ironclad contrapositives are, you need to really internalize the fact that in a game (or LR stim) the stated rules ALWAYS apply. It's not like in real life, where if you have the rule "If my little brother doesn't go to camp…
-
@attorneysomerville - you can certainly use "some people say" as a suggestion: if you see "some people say", be on the lookout for a conclusion that is likely to contradict what they say. But I would still very strongly encourage every LSAT student…
-
I think the danger with this (and most other) shortcuts is twofold: on one hand, it encourages people to look for a magic bullet rather than understand the logic, and on the other hand it exposes them to mistakes of nuance - exactly the sort of mist…
-
I would add a modification to the explanation proposed by @"The 180 Bro_OVO" The principle as stated in the argument is actually C-->/H & knowing/expecting BSOTO So, you can get to /C two ways: H-->/C or /(knowing BSOTO)-->/C In Eng…
-
Both @Micaela_OVO and @"The 180 Bro_OVO" explained it perfectly. Just in case that wasn't visual enough, imagine the ocean is purple from having red O16 and blue O18. Vapor is more red than blue (more O16, less O18). Generally it doesn't matter, b…
-
Yes, you are correct. The OR is inclusive in this case (it's an "at least one" type of OR) For the original rule, you can read the contrapositive to mean "if G is in, at least one of N or U are out" So all three possibilities you list are correct: …

Guys, I'd recommend putting the e-mails in a private message including the people in this thread, so you don't expose yourselves to spam bots trolling websites harvesting emails.

I think a 7 point improvement after half of the curriculum is very encouraging. The only less encouraging part is that you're taking June and you've not finished the curriculum yet, so you might not have enough time to do sufficient PTs and BRs to t…

@"Darth Jurist" the Palomino Blackwing Longpoint sharpener will not fit the Tri-conderoga, so I doubt it will fit the jumbo Staedtler. It's really only for regular pencils. The Staedler regular sharpener http://www.amazon.com/Staedtler-Double-hole-…

Let's break this down into the premises and the conclusion: Premise : In surveys people don't name high salary as the most important feature of a job Conclusion: Economists overestimate how important money is when choosing a job (they claim financia…

@sunnyp89 - the answers above nail it: more "kinds of lamps" does not explain "more lamps" And please remove the verbatim question. Maybe @"Dillon A. Wright" can help with editing out the copyrighted content. The question is PT36, S1, Q23

I think outside knowledge is only helpful insofar as it's helping you understand some terms without having to think about it too much. Like, if they talk about "serotonin" and then in the next line they say "this neurotransmitter" and you know that…

Speed comes slowly - at least to some of us. It might take several/many months of constant practice of games using the FoolProof method (make sure you do go back to games after a while, like @"Cant Get Right" suggests) before true mastery occurs an…
-
Yes, you should try and get exposure to the 70's sooner rather than later, so you'll have the option of really working on the weaknesses and potentially retaking some of the 70's if you find that the changes are giving you trouble. There are 8 week…

@jspence316 can you post the PT number, section and question number, or the link to the curriculum problem you are talking about?
-
@ethan.ames said: I didn't do the 7sage curriculum for LG, so I'm going to take a look at the lessons for I/O games to hopefully bridge some gaps. Thanks! 7Sage's in/out approach is the best of all I've seen, and I've tried at least 5. It takes…

B helps the argument by chipping away at one of the alternative explanations: that asthma is now more widely and accurately recorded as a cause of death than it was before. B says that's not the case - the records were just as accurate 20 years ago…
