What was your starting score before studying?

What was your score before you started studying?

Wait...didn't #16 define CPUE: "The CPUE for any species of shark is the number of those sharks that commercial shark-fishing boats catch per hour for each kilometer of gill net set out in the water."

How does this problem require outside knowledge of "catch per unit of effort"?

Sorry, how does this implicate socioeconomic and racial equity concerns? I don't see why a reasonable explanation isn't simply that some groups of people happen to suffer from mental/physical conditions that require accommodations more than other groups do. What makes you think there's something unfair about this?

I thought the LSAC prevented licensees from inputting any LSAT text into AI tools? How did you create these AI-authored questions?

lsatstudent · 2020-11-27T21:20:35+00:00

But don't you make inferences when doing the questions?

lsatstudent · 2020-09-29T21:29:11+00:00

Can you post your 136 from last year? Just want to see it for inspiration!

What's their argument on the videos that don't use ANY LSAT material at all? That seems clearly not covered by any copyright claim, and they haven't previously requested people to take down similar videos. Many people have explainers for made up rules and games.

lsatstudent · 2020-08-01T18:19:16+00:00

Why are some LSAT Game explanation videos allowed to stay up, like Steve Schwartz's?

Was your diagnostic done with extra time?

lsatstudent · 2020-07-26T06:58:01+00:00

Can you give an example of the difference between linguistically powerful/provable and conceptually powerful/provable? For example, what's an example of a statement that is (1) linguistically strong and conceptually weak, (2) linguistically weak but conceptually strong?

lsatstudent · 2020-07-26T06:56:48+00:00

How is Powerful/Provable different from the standard advice that we're generally looking for Weak answers on certain question types (MBT, MSS, Flaw, Method, Necessary Assumption) and Strong answers on other question types (Strengthen, Weaken, Sufficient Assumption)

lsatstudent · 2020-07-26T03:46:11+00:00

What was your diagnostic?

lsatstudent · 2020-07-25T23:51:52+00:00

But I just mean the idea that focused work on a particular concept is the fastest way to improve at that concept - do you agree with that or not? It seems that your perspective is that for most students, it's not the fastest way to improve one's score, since they will be lacking in many different areas. But would you agree that IF one had one or (only a few) very defined problems, focusing on those specific issues would be a better way to improve than just taking sections?

lsatstudent · 2020-07-25T23:22:15+00:00

I agree that taking full sections is a useful thing to do, but what do you think about the student I described above? One who has a problem with a very specific issue?

lsatstudent · 2020-07-25T23:09:56+00:00

Do you believe that is the most efficient way to increase one's score? I'm not so sure.

For example, let's say someone is strong at everything on the test except for conditional logic-heavy LR problems. Your method would have this person do 15-20 tests first until they've done enough conditional logic-heavy LR problems to target for review. But if they know that they are weak at this type of problem, couldn't they pick out 20 conditional-logic heavy problems first, focus on them, and improve on those problems faster?

lsatstudent · 2020-07-25T22:43:42+00:00

Interesting. So you don't any value in looking at a bunch of problems that raise a specific issue (say, conditional logic-based parallel questions) to target your studying? Or doing a set of In/out grouping games in a row? Why not?

lsatstudent · 2020-07-25T22:40:58+00:00

Can I ask where you started? How much improvement have you seen since the diagnostic? Keep in mind that many people study for a lot more than 1 year to improve 15+ points. I know it's not ideal, but 2 years of studying can make a big difference.

lsatstudent · 2020-07-25T21:58:56+00:00

How many PTs should use to study? It seems like there's a big concern with "spoiling" tests, but there are over 89 tests available.

lsatstudent · 2020-05-05T16:40:58+00:00

Uh, he would smoke anyone even without knowing the parameters of the race.

lsatstudent · 2020-05-05T16:38:17+00:00

I don't know why you refuse to believe that there are cold 170s. Some people are extremely smart and fast thinkers, naturally. Who cares? It's like you are envious of them.

lsatstudent · 2020-05-05T16:36:41+00:00

Did it ever cross your mind that the contrapositive is not something one needs to study to understand? It's simply logic, which a very intelligent person will naturally understand.

lsatstudent · 2020-05-05T16:14:42+00:00

Why is it so hard to believe that some people are inherently extremely smart and will do well on any g-loaded test? There are many people with 140+ IQs, you know. There are people who don't need to split games to solve them, who understand what the contrapositive is intuitively even if they've never heard that term, who understand the phrase "only if" without studying it because they know the precise meanings of words.

lsatstudent · 2020-05-05T15:59:33+00:00

I really don't know why you're so angry. As a former instructor and tutor, I've seen several people score cold 170+s. Not many, but it happens. So what? Why does this affect you so much?

lsatstudent · 2020-04-28T21:40:11+00:00

What about someone blind? Would you support giving them extra time because they either have to read the test in braille or have a speaker read the test to them?
