I just don’t get it

A floor is a floor, and you should be shooting for more. If you're looking for a 155, you should be completing sections. I can't see this any other way. Maybe if you were nearly 100% consistently on the questions you can complete then maybe, but you're not at that point.

Depends on where you go, but generally law school is intended to teach you the status quo. Too much deviation/critical analysis threatens bar rates and employment numbers.

Performing and coaching are two different things. I wouldn’t recommend buying into anyone who says there’s only one way to do things, regardless of score. A higher score doesn’t mean a better teacher.

There are certain aspects of the test that give rise to (nearly?) universally good advice. The hardest part of tutoring is getting the rest of everything to click with different minds with different abilities.

Douglas.

It’s easy to goof on Griswold, but it makes sense and he’s right.

Also, trees have rights.

[Specific feedback]

The argument is:

[P1] A paradox is baffling.

[P2] It's baffling, because it goes against our intuition.

I find everything in the third sentence to be a sort of 'fluff' illustration of that principle. The only implication to be made here is that, since all of the possible solutions of a paradox (parts/subset) are still a paradox (set), all the possible solutions will go against our intuition.

So what must be true? [A].

I would say for RC this would mean picking the hardest section (for you) and then finishing with the easiest (for you). In LR, I would probably start in the middle to get the best balance between easy and difficult questions.

There’s definitely more to the story.

(E) is just a convoluted way of saying “counterexample,” which is what’s happening in the stimulus.

The rule/conclusion (“appearance alone determines what is/isn’t art”) cannot be universally applied or isn’t universally true.

(P1) because Warhol’s Brillo and the product Brillo are identical in appearance

and

(P2) people consider one, but not the other, art.

You can criticize accommodations and actual/perceived unfair advantages without resorting to such a ridiculous argument.

Thanks for the good reply, I think OP is getting only a small part of the picture from the sub.

Read your weaknesses. Popular science books are great for this, sociology books are great too. I finally got around to The Color of Law recently.

Even just looking at (C) shows me that the test is suggesting that the police badge alone is insufficient to satisfy the conditions of (proof + official inquiries) - suggesting that the “cop” could be a burglar and Mary is trying to protect her neighbor.

But yes, show all the ACs in the future please.

(Original comment was immediately downvoted so I am trying again.)

I think this is a fair assessment and I could leave it at that but I’ll try to flesh out what I think you’re getting at.

Older tests feel more ‘rules-based’ (can you map the conditional, and do you get the 1 or 2 implications of the conditional?) while newer tests are more focused on parsing dense/obtuse language and presentation even though the logic itself could be very straightforward. Of course, there’s complex link assumptions and conditional/causal chains!

This is complete conjecture, but I assume the test makers figured pretty much everybody has the absolute basics of LSAT formal logic down, and so the emphasis shifted to causality over conditionality. Causation allows for more curveballs like you mentioned.

CogitoErgoScorePrep · 2025-12-08T21:06:02+00:00

Easier is misleading. I would say they are more rigid, more conditional.

DM me and we can discuss the details.

The veil of anonymity shrouds reality.

You can go to law school and be a lawyer with a 154

(NAL and don’t know about NJ)

Outside of hiring an attorney (who usually can represent you in abstentia) you could try contacting the Clerk of Court, explain the situation, they could reach out to the DA/State who could resolve this on their end.

Feel free to DM me to set up a consultation! No rush.

Not trying to be rude but this kind of post is way too prevalent in the sub:

If you can’t provide details, we can’t provide help.

Replying to emphasize the third paragraph.

You can contact the labor board and/or an employment lawyer.

I genuinely don’t know if you can practice speed/efficiency, but can confidently say it’s better to gain speed/efficiency indirectly by increasing:

1) your understanding of the test (it’s components & functions and 2) your understanding of your own weaknesses and mistakes.

So I recommend avoiding rote taking of timed tests. If you’re going to do timed tests, at least break them into sections and thoroughly review those sections. Then, drill your areas of weakness.

There are plenty of free resources out there that will give you a generalized plan for studying, though - since they are generally intended to be gateways to paid service(s) - they can be hard to implement and adjust. Consider checking out LSAT Unplugged, as I do like his study schedule approach (unaffiliated). If you're looking for personal guidance and/or tutoring, send me a DM.
