@CUU20004, at least for my first take, I definitely noticed that a lack of sleep made me less focused and sharp, especially during the LR sections. For the second take, I felt that my focus really deteriorating during the hard RC passage and LG game…

Interesting. I was actually considering doing similar, like purposely not getting alot of sleep 2 nights before so I can be sleepy the night before. Have you had similar sleep issues too? @Toxoplasmosis

@"Cant Get Right" yeah. I had to a do a double take on that. I think i figured it out but took longer than i wouldve liked.

If memory serves, i think there was an optional survey that asked how often and how proficient you r in usinf touch screen on the answer sheet

Dat laquer passage doe....

Sometimes the LSAT likes to put medium level or curve breaker questions in the first 10 questions to throw off your flow. Dont be caught up with the number that the question is, but rather take each question on a case by case basis. At the very most…

I find the Method of Reasoning questions of more recent exams, like PT 78 to be more finicky. To the LSATs defense, its usually because I overlook a detail in a trap answer choice or dont do a thorough job of identifying what role the claim, which t…

Agreed with @desire2learn. Personally, i made the mistake of nitpicking over answer choices in medium level MSS question or Method of Reasoning even when it was clear that the correct answer was the best answer and that the standard of precision for…

Even if the actual topic or ideas discussed in passages may be different, RC passages usually follow a set number of structures and have consistent question types. Spend time upfront before you hit the questions to get a proficient understanding of …

Hey @DallasOnFire. After receiving my score, all I did was to make sure the answer choices i chose on the scantron was the same as the Item Response Sheet. I didnt actually check the answers on the exam itself so I had no recollection as to what th…

Hey @chelsLSAT. I can somewhat sympathize with your plight. I only got 2 hours of sleep and I let myself be distracted, even for half minute by the fact that the one of the testtakers next to me had a digital watch in spite of lsac rules. I agree …

Dam. The same thing happened to me on PT 76 like one of other commenters. I was feeling good about how I was answering the first 3 passages of that RC section and I realized only had 6 minutes for the last comparative passage. Not finishing that sec…

Im seeing the LSAT as a challenging opportunity where I can be fully engaged to the task at hand yet not be so neurotically attached to the outcome of my score. Honestly, I can only see all up sides to taking this exam. If I reach my desired score …

Learned that the hard way yesterday haha. I had some nebulous idea that I would be in bed during that time frame and ended up sleeping at 11 and waking up at 540 am all tired. Got to be in bed at 9
-
Agreed with all the commebts above. I previously took an upwards of 5 exams a week leading up to the June exam, and the stress of having to crank out that many exams and review them left me burnt out. I even started to have some sleep issues which w…

@"Alex Divine" I have a similar looking table as you! Is that from Ikea by any chance?

2 years crew checking in here too haha

Agreed with other posters that the flaws for the number related stimuli tend to be centered on percentage to part fallacies. But i did notice that these types of stimuli do not tend to show up as much in the more recent PTs.
-
congrats!! your case is definitely unique compared to other peoples' experience with the newer PTs. Hope this pattern continues

In my downtime, like today, I enjoy catching up on periodicals like the Economist or Scientific American. I also recently started reading Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr's lectures on Common Law.
-
Hey @jessicalj Your example cleared it up for me. Originally, I didnt see when as a indicator of causation so I thought that other factors could be in the air. Thanks!
-
@stepharizona Will the strategy of taking a community college course for the sole purpose of a recommendation letter still work even if CC courses taken after undergrad doesnt factor in the lsac gpa? This was a strategy that I strongly considered do…

Hey guys thank you all for your input!!! Hopefully, I will get to the point of enjoying the processs more as things start clicking for me while I drill more games. @twssmith, I'm usually intellectually curious so passages about esoteric subjects are…

Dam @quinnxzhang Thanks for the really detailed explanation. I assume you have some background in formal logic from college? haha

Hi @blah170blah, I thought that the sentence that contains the condition in which the company allows Ann to leave was a bi-conditional and therefore we could get the contrapositive of the bi-conditional by negating both terms.
-
Hey @combsni When I took the June exam, I was running off of 2 hours of sleep and I significantly underperformed. I made the mistake of having burning myself out previously by taking around 60+ exams and BRing them within just over a 3 month span. A…

Thank you all for the explanations. So the general gist of the stimulus is that the proponents share an optimism for the environmental-friendliness of the electric car, whereas the author mentions considerations about the battery production that sho…
