How to deal with writing section
What should we do? Is this order correct?...
1.) Intro/Thesis (I prefer option A because B, C, D)
2.) Develop B
3.) "C
4.) "D
5.) Acknowledge counterargument, then say why Option A is still better
6.) Conclude
Thanks guys. (Each number=a paragraph)

Also, do I need to waste 35 min practicing for the section?

You're overthinking it. Do a couple so you have an idea of what to expect and you're golden.

The general consensus is no. It's a persuasive essay. Write it like any other essay you would write defending a position. Just make sure you pay attention to all the facts given in the stimulus and anticipate possible rebuttals from the pros of the position you oppose.Helicio wrote:Also, do I need to waste 35 min practicing for the section?

Nice, I'll glance at a few prompts today but beyond that I'll just write it during the LSAT.

JK. Honestly, I think I maybe wrote 4 borderline incoherent paragraphs. I might have even repeated myself once or twice. I don't think they want any seriously in depth analysis, just enough to know that you grasp the English language.

I wish they had it in between the other sections so I could get out and stretch my legs for a section.Mr.Binks wrote:This. I actually got up and took a piss break in the middle of the writing section.Mr. Pancakes wrote:fill the section with words.

Re: How to deal with writing section
I just lol'd so hard I sucked coconut water up my nose. OMG Binks. Just OMG. I was trying to write somewhat legibly due to the stabbing pain in my head and the fact that I could not even track my own words with my eyes. My writing sample looks like my 11 year old wrote it immediately after he severed both tendons in his index finger.Mr.Binks wrote:This.

OP - your plan looks good.

Pretty much this. Take a side, defend it, acknowledge opposing arguments and refute them, conclude.marlo45 wrote:Write it like any other essay you would write defending a position.
