Logic Bible outdated? Forum

I never used LGB, and always score -0/-1 on LG. You don't need it. I'm a douche and I'm better than you.

Fixed for what you were actually trying to say.

I guess someone feels threatened by those that seem to be in a position of mental superiority over him or her, and perhaps rightfully so, no? I mean honestly, those that have a 3.7+ GPA and a 172+ score are more likely to eventually parlay their performance into better pay, higher social status, and, in general, access to more of life's "perks" than those without such badges. And as much as class hierarchy is veiled in the US by the tenets of equality and individual determination, it nevertheless exists and determines, for many if not all people, the quality of their relative existence. Hence, it would seem that the lower levels of society's strata do indeed have much to envy, and perhaps resent, from those that are, more or less, above them. The more that this resentment is expressed, however, the more the insecurity and spite of those in inferior positions is revealed and fueled. Given that the present state of the US consists of circumstances in plain contrast to historically prevalent affairs in pre-revolutionary occasions, thus precluding great likelihood for successful uprising against the establishment, this will likely result in only one thing: the continued and heightened misery of the lower classes, who devote so much useless energy, often incredibly subtle, at consciously or subconsciously attacking a system that rules them and will continue to rule them for some time. The verdict? SHUT UP.

What's with your conclusory and assumption filled social stratification statement/attempt at making an argument regarding socioeconomic classes? Did you recently take a sociology class and have to write a paper about it or something?

Your paragraph is poorly reasoned, in large part because in it you mainly present assertions/conclusions about what you believe is true without providing any decently reasoned justification or support. The thing is loaded with presumptions and is void of evidence to back them up.

Bottom line, LGB is okay, I learned LG before reading the book so found it repetitive and useless.

LRB, I have no clue never used it, but it should be a good place to start, however just to warn you as you do know there is a new era in logical reasoning I have a feeling in the future it will become harder since logic games and reading comp are starting to become mastered

I used the Bibles (not the holy texts) to study when I took the LSAT the first time around and scored a 151. I took a TestMasters course for the second LSAT that I just took and I'm expecting to score in the mid-160s. My best on a PT before the LSAT was a 166.

It could just be that I'm a shitty self-studier, but I felt like the Bibles really ignored a few key concepts - especially in LR. Take it FWIW.

To answer the OP's question, I do believe that the LR bible is pretty much outdated. It helped, but I think there are probably better ways. The LR bible would be PERFECT for PT 30's-era tests.
Unfortunately, LSAC has moved on.

This is really stupid. There are too many people on this sight who justify their own insecurity with rants like this. These are not the words of a confident person. But the words are big so you're smart right?

Lol- I'm uncertain as to whether you're trying to help my argument or attack it.

Your first statement, along with its related followup question, which, by the way, only barely approximate comprehensible sentences, is a speculation that is untrue. As
to your conclusion regarding my paragraph being "poorly reasoned," that is incorrect. To provide absolute evidence for statements that are widely rooted in common sense would not only be entirely unnecessary, especially given the context of this discussion, but also would involve many voluminous citations that are more fitting for a dissertation footnote. And as much as you probably keep telling yourself that calling someone's argument "poorly reasoned" and "loaded with presumptions" actually defeats its force, it's simply a defense mechanism arising out of an insecurity to confront the writing. Sorry

Look MW, the reason so many people attacked you is because you sound like an uber-douche. You like to use big words. Not one or two, but your entire paragraph screamed of snobbery. I don't even think it had ANYTHING to do with what was being discussed at the time.

Point is, you can be intelligent without having to show off your uh-MAZ-ing vocabulary skills. Because no one here gives a shit. In fact, it pisses people off.

I'm not trying to be mean. Just trying to explain why some people are annoyed by you.
