I feel like anyone who encountered G3 in dec'15 and went -0 on that section on game day should get kudos




Thats really a tough game to do under game day conditions, and this is coming from a math/science person

I switched an answer about the authors' attitude from approval to indifferent at the end, because I realized the author never really speaks as themselves . Learning my lesson to go with my gut on these interpretive-ish questions, and only change an answer afterwards if I see that it's definitely wrong.

I'm pretty sure LSAT registrants was also up for June but actual # of test takers decreased.

48. But not within a PT, just as drilling.

I'm going to chalk up my poor performance on this past AR due to going RC overload lately at the expense of practicing AR.

Yep, registrants up 2%, takers down 1%, if I recall.

At least you were able to realize it and fix it! That's better than not. Every single question had the correct answer choice for my mistake...so there I was, super confident with all the wrong answers 8)

Ah. Understandable. Only rifle trickier on than AR is the LSAT.

Did three RC and three LG sets today. Not much, but at least I actually did something at long last. Going to do some work stuff then hit LR.

Was gonna take a full PT today but was a little hungover, and decided not to.

On the upside, I did like 25 LGs and am starting to feel the high confidence level on LG I reached on my last take. It'll be nice to not have to really worry too much about LG, and focus really intensely on necessary assumptions/flaws/strengthen/weaken and drilling RC incessantly for the next 3 weeks.

Gah, I need to do some serious grouping games drilling the next few days. They last few I've done just beat the crap out of me. Even if I can get to the correct answers, I'm always at least a minute slower than 7sage. But sequencing games are no problem for some reason. I've heard people tend to be naturally better at one or the other. Anyone else have that experience?

For me it all depends on the restrictions, but usually sequencing games seem to be set up easier than grouping games.

Yeah, inferences are just so much more readily apparent to me with sequencing games.

I see what you mean. All I did was glance at the stem and identified the words flaw and parallel and disregarded the rest.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
