It's never too late to start, regardless I'm rooting for you! I would start looking at schools that you're interested in and view their requirements and deadlines and plan from there. From when and how long you'll be studying to seeing how you'll finance everything. Planning and understanding the process is critical.
Here's an inexpensive book I have that really does a good job about going into detail about every step of the process. Hope this helps and good luck!
Add a sugary drink to your break taken after the third section. Your brain burns glucose throughout the test and replenishing it has been shown to help recover focus and comprehension.
I read about this in the book Thinking Fast and Slow. A quick google search returned this.
I wrote a post yesterday asking about the format. I didn't know there was the free lawhub tests, and I'm glad I asked because I did one today, and definitely helps to get familiar. I never used lawhub because I got all my PTs have been free using libgen.is. Search "LSAT preptest" and you will get every single preptest download. This is what r/LSAT is for.
Here is the amazon link for 72-81:
10 Actual Official LSAT PrepTests 72-81
The rest can be purchased individually on amazon for about 8 dollars each.
There's a lot of Kaplan hate on this sub, but I used the self-guided Kaplan course with live online classes. I'm not the type of person to read a book and immediately grasp a concept - I need someone to verbally guide me through it. I'm also not very organized, so having all of the prep materials and tutorials readily available was really helpful. I watched hours, and hours, and hours of videos. I wasted a metric shit-ton of printer ink.
​
I'm not sure if everyone does this, but I diligently kept track of how many hours I studied (with www.timecamp.com - don't worry, it's free). I also had a strict plan for every single study session so I wasn't just sitting there waiting for time to tick by. It was nice to be able to look at my study summary and see how much time and effort I've put in.
​
In LR, memorizing question types and being able to identify trap answer types was crucial. Once I understood how to interact with each question, it made me feel a little more in control. Constant practice has been my best friend. I have done SO, so many timing sections that I'm starting to run out of actual test material to use.
In RC the gods have blessed me (unlike LG) and I haven't really spent much time there.
Actually, you're right. The second comment is fine. I reapproved it. It was the first one that was out of line.
Whether Mike is right or not in his recommendations in this particular case isn't the issue. Personally, I think the Economist is probably a better choice (though I've never read the week), and I can't speak for the rest, not having read them. They're not patently ridiculous choices though – On Writing was very well received.
So he might well be wrong. And you could make an argument that he's wrong. But straight up calling him a charlatan is just an insult. Particular since he's written the best selling and best reviewed LSAT book. And most affordable.
Even if Mike's advice in this particular case is poor (and I'm not saying it is), you'd need to make a rather comprehensive case in order to show that his advice in general is poor.
You didn't do that. You just leapt straight to a major insult. Mike is, like anyone else posting on Reddit, a human being. And that kind of language is hurtful. It stifles discussion.
Where's the second post you quoted?
Yes I am going to ask this question. The webinar is from 1-2:00pm EST. Here’s the link
https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_SsvpCpJXQ76BqAXw5497sQ[LSAC webinar](https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_SsvpCpJXQ76BqAXw5497sQ)
Hm, just in case, it's very important to be doing 'modern' RC passages so if you were doing PTs from before June 2007 you're not really getting the MOST relevant benchmark for your abilities at RC (no comparative, generally more 'difficult' passages/questions)
I wouldn't recommend reading through PS since you only have 3 weeks. Everyone who's asked here, I've recommended that they read the top comment here: https://www.quora.com/LSAT/How-can-I-improve-the-reading-comprehension-scores-of-my-LSAT-test
Also, reading what the questions are asking you first will help you pinpoint the relevant stuff in the sea of text, which should save you some time. If stem first doesn't work for you, ignore this advice... but do try it.
I usually go 0 to -3 on my RC sections.
I am not a doctor, but I sometimes pretend to be a psychologist in my work as an LSAT tutor.
My students often get REALLY stressed, both during the test, and during months of studying. Much more than anything they've ever faced.
I don't know precisely how maternal stress affects babies, but it can't be anything but bad, and permanent. I would not do this. You'd be risking your child's future.
Some research:
Headspace has a online site and app as well. I haven't personally tired it, but I have heard good things.
I would highly recommend Beyond the Content to you and anyone else in your situation. It's a book on mindfulness and test prep by a former colleague of mine who's a mindfulness instructor in addition to being a GMAT / GRE instructor.
The creator of this sub /u/graeme_b has a website called LSAT hacks that has every test from 29-38 and 62-77 and their explanations. If you prefer book format, you can find his explanations on amazon or buy them through his website.
Here's the website itself:
https://lsathacks.com/explanations/
Here's the book format of one of his explanations from Amazon:
There are two types of questions in LG where an original rule is suspended (no longer in effect) or replaced—never contradicted, however—but more importantly: delete that app/program.
Not only is that a simulated game, it's a horribly constructed one, which is likely to do you more harm than good when you move on to real content. Official tests can be purchased in sets of 10 (more than 1000 questions) for under $25 on amazon:
Then find reputable conceptual guides to teach you how the test is constructed and how to best solve the questions you'll face, using those real tests for application and reinforcement of techniques/methodology.
Final note: June 2008 is not offered as a free exam. Only June 2007 is. So again be careful if you've found J08 as a free download (it may be a pirated copy, which is at least real, but it may very well be more simulated material that should be immediately trashed).
Yes.
Amazon says it will be released on August 6th. Sometimes they have started shipping before the listed release date with previous PT's.
If you place a pre-order with Amazon you'll get it the soonest possible/right after the first batch is printed.

Literally just the first/best response is what I did.
https://www.quora.com/LSAT/How-can-I-improve-the-reading-comprehension-scores-of-my-LSAT-test
I'm a great skimmer, but simply had to learn to slow down and process what I was reading. Also, I had a really bad habit from PS ingrained in me to always look at the stimulus first that took time to break (7sage's way of question stem first just made more sense) and I tried to apply it to RC and noticed a great deal of improvement.
god these people must be mecca for for test prep companies.
As perspective, getting into med school requires a lot more than just doing well on the mcat. Even if she nailed the test she probably had no chance at becoming a doctor.
I've always been a super fast test taker too (eg. I would finish a 3 hour exam in 1 hour then get like 80%+ on it) and I definitely had to slow down for the LSAT. There are so many traps, things you can easily miss if you miss just a word in either the stimulus or the answers. After beating myself up every week for missing SUPER EASY questions that I would have gotten if I had just "READ THAT ONE GOD DAMN WORD THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING" I learned to take a deep breath and focus on accuracy. That alone definitely added up to extra points.
I personally found the PS bibles to be a useful start (LR and LG anyway), but ended up heavily utilizing 7sage for LG (as most people do). For RC, I was generally pretty strong but ended up reading this to kind of just get a general guideline of how to proceed. There's also a short e-book by a guy called Adrian (48~ pages?) that gives you his strategy for improving on RC. I think it's a concise way to think about how you can improve and it's currently free (it's on the front page right now) so I recommend reading that.
Right now, I'm going through the 7sage LR curriculum as well and so far I'm liking the lessons more because there's an actual instructor talking me through things. If you're good at self-study this may be unnecessary, but I've learned to understand my weaknesses better and having the teacher 'there' mentally influences me to work harder.
Remember to make a proper schedule as well (another weakness of mine rectified by 7sage) and stick to it! It's unrealistic to assume you can study for a billion hours a week. You need time to absorb and synthesize what you've learned and also time to just chill. (Yet another mistake that I was making).
Hello u/llpparkerll, it appears you tried to put a link in a title, since most users cant click these I have placed it here for you
^I ^am ^a ^bot ^if ^you ^have ^any ^suggestions ^dm ^me
Thank you /u/clicktutor and /u/moorelsat. You both are in agreement with the PowerScore/Manhattan forums on this question, but can you elaborate on how it's even possible to have a "selfish concern for the human species" (aka "selfish-2")? Isn't that phrase an oxymoron? If you care only about interests/benefits/welfare of humans other than yourself then aren't you actually being unselfish? Did the LSAT writers instead mean for this phrase to be read as "selfish concern for the human species, yourself included"? If the phrase is read that way, then does that indicate that a person with a "selfish concern for the human species" only cares about the welfare of the homo sapiens as opposed to the welfare of the extraterrestrials, cats, dolphins and bold eagles? I feel somewhat hesitant about interpreting this phrase in such manner.
Here's how I drew it. This is partly a numbers game:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/r4csad9t0dqrocz/27%20game%202.png
Vertical rows for the habitats. When a local diagram puts two snakes in a habitat, you can draw a second line.
The numbers are there as a reminder, because it's easy to forget.
Finally, two rules:
- A female snake is not beside a male lizard, in either order. The curved line on the box shows that it is reversible.
- Lizards and snakes can't be beside each other within a habitat.
This game depends on knowing the rules like the back of your hand. So draw them clearly, then take a minute to commit them to memory before starting.
You'll still forget sometimes, which is why the clear drawing is a good idea. Put it somewhere it's easy to refer back to.
That's the setup. What did you mean by "non-specific" rules?
The link below has the Howard Law Application Requirements, their website has been down since September, I think they had technical issues but it's really strange that it's just the law website that's down
The Loophole by Ellen Cassidy is amazing, I was struggling with flaws and NA/SA and now I'm drilling almost perfect within a week. here's the link: https://www.amazon.ca/Loophole-LSAT-Logical-Reasoning/dp/1732749000/ref=sr\_1\_1?dchild=1&keywords=the+loophole&qid=1627266276&sr=8-1
I'm in the same boat also with -6. I'm looking into getting it. Amazon has a Kindle version and you can get the first chapter on the sample for free. I was skimming through it and in the first couple of pages, they give out all the details *summarized* which helps you see what they're going to cover and the first tip is covered as well.
I still haven't bought but I think I will. I'm August test date so I'm deciding if I'll take time away from PT's to focus on this.
Read everything you see in English, and always look up vocabulary before proceeding further, and don't become stressed out if you don't know the meaning of vocabulary on a test - just guess (by quick deduction). When Learning English as a Second Language
Khan Academy has 10 free tests + explanations.
​
If you don't wan't want to commit to the $99 LawHub to access all the tests, I'd at least get one of the "10 Actual ..." books. I'd recommend this one; it's the most recent collection and I'm almost positive that Khan pulls their tests from the 50s/60s, so you don't have to worry about overlap. New is under $20. If you scored that high without any prep, you're in a good position to increase your score. Do Khan Academy and take as many prep tests as possible.
If you're referring to previous tests administered I believe there's over 80 available now. You can get them pretty cheap used on Amazon or at Barnes and Noble. They are called the "10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests Vol. ____" . I have provided a link to one of the test books here , the used ones start at $5
Flents Protechs Ear Plugs. They work pretty well, the trick is to squish and flatten the foam down as much as possible. Then it expands to fill whatever shape your ear canal may be :)
Yes it is matter of drilling them that is why I love the Foolproof method.

You have the fundamentals SOLID already . At this point I would recommend a wrong answer journal to key you focus and zoom in on all the points.

To be honest you sitting nice but yes it is better to be at -1/0 . Seems you have ALLLLLL the fundamentals down and really . At this point I would focus on reviewing but DETAIL reviewing.
- Acknowledge you got it wrong, question type
- See why you got it wrong as in what trap did you fall for
- Dig deep into the logic of the right answer and note the difference. Say HECKKKKK NO and develop a pattern to think that way

Honestly I was once at this point and reviewing has levels . 1. Acknowledge you got it wrong, question type 2. See why you got it wrong as in what trap did you fall for 3. Dig deep into the logic of the right answer and note the difference. Say HECKKKKK NO and develop a pattern to think that way

Oh right, I forgot to include one bit. Peter Thiel's Zero to One has an interesting discussion of how human and computer intelligence is complementary. Computers are excellent at things humans are terrible at, but humans are excellent at things computers struggle with. At Paypal and then later at Palantir, they use computers to identify cases humans should look at.
I believe something similar is happening with law now, as you say in your second paragraph.
However....
> Also, the biggest reason why lawyers will always be needed is that it's a self regulated profession and there are strict bar entry requirements partially to keep the profession exclusive. My Professional Responsibility professor put it well: it's a good ole boys club. That ain't changing anytime soon.
I wouldn't count on that. It's certainly a barrier. But I expect taxi companies thought that taxi medallions and local regulations were a good barrier. Uber put the lie to that.
There are plenty of jurisdictions worldwide. Once one breaks rank, the others will follow if the results are good.
There was a major legal deregulation in the UK in 2011, actually. Expect more to come.
If you're close to 170, I would recommend doing drills and focusing a bit more on RC than the other sections to improve your score.
Since I'm sure you already have a specific method of going through the passages, reading the questions and answering them, implementing a new strategy might take more time out of 35 minutes and hurt your score.
But who knows? Maybe there's something you can do differently that will get you 170+! I read through Manhattan's RC Guide and found it immensely helpful.
I'm using 7sage's Premium course for my 'main course.' I'm also reading through Mike Kim's The LSAT Trainer which is an incredible book.
I've bought every volume of old tests I can find and I take practice tests frequently and use 7Sage's blind review method.
I also downloaded the Kindle version of Manhattan Prep's Logical reasoning book. I read this on my iPhone while I'm waiting to meet someone at a bar or if I'm on the train.
I would steer clear of Kaplan for LSAT stuff. They are notoriously bad, particularly compared to the resources I've mentioned.
Well, I would change your mindset on the LSAT. The LSAT is the only true objective measure of admissions and anyone can do great on it. GPAs, resumes, what undergrad you went to are much easier to fake than an LSAT score so the LSAT opens doors for people.
However, if you want to take it in April, you should be applying for fall 2024. Trying to squeeze in for fall 2023 will end with bad outcomes. The good news for you is that you are a paralegal so you know what you are getting yourself into.
Start by taking a diagnostic and getting on a study resource. The ultra budget way to begin is to use Lawhub Prep Plus + lsathacks.com for free explanations. Reading a book or two can also give you an idea of how to approach the test. I personally (and biasedly) think my book is the best and cheapest introductory option. You can check that out here -https://www.amazon.com/LSA-Simplifieds-LSAT-Primer-Parker-ebook-dp-B0BFCNQTTT/dp/B0BFCNQTTT/ref=mt\_other?\_encoding=UTF8&me=&qid=
If you're still in university, this is my absolute biggest piece of advice: Take a class in formal logic. It should be in your school's philosophy department. It will help you more than you could possibly know. A 'critical thinking' course will also probably help quite a bit.
Outside of that, you have a few options based on budget. Khan Academy has free LSAT prep though it's somewhat limited. You can also buy official practice tests on Amazon for about $20 per set of 10. This is probably the cheapest way to prep, but doing nothing but taking practice tests isn't the most effective way to prep.
A lot of places offer courses, but these are usually $1000+. They can be very useful but they are very expensive.
There are other ways to prep but honestly just please take the logic course: it'll give you all the tools you need to ace the test.
To use Mike Kim's The LSAT Trainer as the basis for my studying. It's hands-down the best resource I've come across.
The score is also dependent on test difficulty. That's the whole point of the experimental section - to determine how to translate a numerical score into a standardized score out of 180. Thinking about "is this one harder or easier than the previous one" is just a distraction from the goal of mastering the underlying skills the test is designed to evaluate, which is the only thing worth focusing on. I'd highly recommend Mike Kim's LSAT Trainer as a preparation tool. If you don't feel like you've mastered the exam, pick that up and go through one of his study schedules before your next attempt.
I have only done a few PTs out of this book but I'm thinking of going your route. Scoring 159 and 160 cold when I had no idea what was going on with those logic games makes me think that there are some easy points to be gained with even basic test strategies.
Did you find the Bibles and Workbooks that useful, or could I get most of that info from the free sources out there, like LSAThacks? I was recommended 7sage by a pre law advisor based on my cold diagnostic scores, but I'm wondering whether it's really worth the money ($100/year + $70/month) when there are so many resources out there for less.
Gotta get some earplugs, my friend. Gamechanger for me. I like these ones:
Gotta get some earplugs, my friend. oft-Foam-Earplugs/dp/B0051U7W32/ref=zg_bs_3779871_2/139-0148695-6362841?pd_rd_i=B07SRK9FDK&psc=1
Dave Hall was really the guy who got me up to 169 and $120k to a T30. His approach to RC is very straightforward, showing us how to map the passage and closely consider author's tone
​
I loved the course so much I put it in my app. There is a video bank with a 5x 180 scorer walking you through every lsat quesPlay Storetion.
​
"Loophole" is a great but little-known book that'll help you improve on logical reasoning
This is an excellent course on logic games
Not sure, but with regard to logical reasoning this book is excellent
I recently read Rawls Theory of Justice which is kinda like a 600 page LSAT passage. Also a relatively modern and often referenced work so it's arguably valuable to read. The conclusions are socialist-ish so it may not be appealing if you're not into that. You could also read something like: https://www.amazon.com/Theories-Distributive-Justice-Jeppe-Platz/dp/0367332353 ; it's a good intro to the same topics and less dense.
Or just something in the same introductory style on whatever topic you find interesting.
buy a camera cover for your computers!! i got this one bc it’s super cheap and came with a couple so i put it on the computer i’m taking the lsat on and on my laptop. you can get another of course lol! but the point of this is that, well one you cover your camera when it’s not in use!! but when you slide it so that you can use your camera, it covers the green button!!
also, i liked that this one had 6 because one was kinda like a tester, you have to be meticulous when placing it on your laptop/computer. Clean the camera and area surrounding the camera with a microfiber cloth before putting on the camera cover.
the “cover” can be easily popped out, so pop it out prior to peeling it off the clear film so that way it’s easier to put on the device. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08PKWFCMR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_EDD4Z4034630Z5CX3GD4
and no you never see the proctor. they can talk to you but you won’t be seeing a video
Agree with this – I studied philosophy with a lot of logic and I still had to look at LSAT materials because I wasn’t primed to notice the right things/use the right techniques.
But I really don’t think it could hurt to spend some time thinking more broadly about what makes a good argument (provided you have the time!). I’ve seen this book recommended. And this is a short, fun book about statistical reasoning, but only obliquely relevant to the LSAT as far as I remember.
Hi there! Thanks for considering us! If you want to hear about other students' experiences with our classes, definitely check out our Trustpilot.
You can also try the class for free! We offer free Live classes at least once a month—the next one is next week! You can save your spot here.
Let us know if you have any questions or want to learn more!
Hey there! Yes, feel free to book a free consultation with me, and we can talk more :) https://calendly.com/logicgainslsat/free-consultation?month=2021-08
Hi there! I have been tutoring a number of students for several months and myself scored a 176. I have a thorough understanding of the LSAT and its underpinning concepts and focus tutoring sessions on learning the concepts rather than gaming the test (although of course we talk about strategy, things to look for, etc.). My students respond positively to this method and perform better especially once they are able to learn and internalize the concepts. I charge $30/hr for the first session and $45/hr thereafter. More info in my pinned post on my profile, and you can sign up with me on calendly.com/lsattutoring. If those times don't work or if you have questions, feel free to message me.
Here’s where you can get it brand new off of Amazon. Less expensive than OP’s and free shipping.
I think at this point, the stress of studying (and may be the stress of other things around you) might be getting the best of you. When i started studying, I started meditating. I think that helped me clear my mind. I use headspace, and they have a free thing going right now because of COVID (https://www.headspace.com/covid-19) You should check it out. Also, sounds cheesy, but don't say "I can't". You've got to reframe it to something more like "Right now I am not getting this, but I will!"
Also, do you have access to video explanations of the logic games? If not, private message me. I don't want you to give up!

Moving from a 152 -> 160 by September of November is doable, if you put in the work.
I'm skeptical that this tutor would be able to look at a test you took and accurately tell you why you got a question wrong without having observed you taking the test or asking you anything about what you were thinking when you were answering that question. Reasons aren't that black-and-white.
I have my students do work in between our sessions, sure. You have to practice the skills you need to use during the test.
But in-session, I first ask the student what they want to work on, and then we practice developing skills (examples: how to draw a diagram, how to predict answers, how to find the conclusion, how to fill in the gap on an assumption question) instead of just talking about why they got an answer wrong.
And then I try to work with what they bring to the table in helping them develop their skills.
If you want to chat with another tutor so you have a point of comparison, reach out to me to schedule a consultation. I'll waive the usual $35 fee for you. https://calendly.com/mm-lsat/consult
I had no idea how to start studying too when I first began. I started with Khan Academy's free course since they offer a diagnostic and they have a pretty good assortment of questions you can drill through to practice different skills in the three sections. You can also choose what date you're planning on taking the test and they'll schedule a study routine for you with ten practice tests planned throughout.
I don't have any familiarity with any paid programs since I was very insistent on not spending money, but I downloaded PowerScore's Logical Reasoning Bible and their Logic Games bible. You can get a bunch of practice tests for free through somewhere like z-lib.org and find explanations on websites like lsathacks.com or Manhattan Prep's LSAT forums which is what I did for most of my studying.
https://z-lib.org/ search lsat. So many tests and book. I intent to get a decent score with free resources. I’m using khan academy, lsat wizard on YouTube, and free books I got on fb market place + the free books from that link. If you keep an eye out people give out lsat materials regularly. I’ve gotten free material from reddit and FB. I absolutely can’t afford money on expensive prep stuff.
Serendipity! This is one of the core topics I'm covered in an impromptu webinar we're doing (right now!). Feel free to join with this link:
​
Topic: LR Fundamentals - Theoryworks Webinar (Room 2)
Time: Feb 12, 2020 07:20 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Join Zoom Meeting
Meeting ID: 611 444 528
The first webinar room (with Ryan) is full folks! I know a few of you didn't get a chance to join--for anyone still interested in, I am holding the same webinar in another Zoom meeting: https://zoom.us/j/611444528
Starting momentarily!
OP has stated several times that it's a fact some of the reviews are fake. It is not a fact, it is a suggestion based on a subjective random sites algorithm, an algorithm that we have no idea how it works. Make people have found issue with the site and claimed its methodology is flawed and inconsistent - check here if you like.
Schedule is here, all the time! https://calendly.com/mm-lsat/consult
I certainly did complete a lot of games, but you have to do cycles of experimenting and reflecting. You have to try something different and then think about how well it worked (or didn't). In your case, you're likely on to something about your organization (or lack of it). What I would have done in a similar situation was some crazy idea like draw a grid on my test before I started, then force myself to write my rules inside the grid.
If it helped, I learned something. If it didn't help, I still learned something! So self-prepping is just a willingness to try things, see what happens, and be honest with yourself about what's working and what's not. That's a lot of what I do in tutoring as well. It's just easier for me to be honest with a students than it is for a lot of people to be honest with themselves.

Use a VPN. Something like ExpressVPN. The VPN will change your IP address based upon the country you choose. I doubt that there are any capabilities implemented by ProctorU to detect that, so you should be fine. I would certainly be a tiny bit nervous though…
Thank you!! I definitely plateaued in the 170-174 range for a while.
Materials:
- Khan Academy for practice tests.
- PDFs of old PTs for drilling individual sections.
- The first 8 chapters of Loophole for LR.
- Fox Logic Games for initial LG drilling, though I did not always use its diagramming system. (If you have a system for a game type that works for you, stick with it!)
- Google, LSAT Facebook groups, etc. for LG diagramming ideas if I felt stumped by a certain game type. I tried 7sage, but it didn't click.
- Logic Puzzle game apps for when I wanted to practice inference but was exhausted by problems. (I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=agamz.logic&hl=en_US&gl=US, but there are others!)
- Three tutoring sessions for RC once I realized that there was minimal consistency in the question types I was getting wrong.
Hope this helps!
I bought what I thought was a regular copy for Barnes & Noble, apparently a lot of the copies have this misprint in it (per Amazon reviews: https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Law-School-Admission-Council/dp/0999658085)
you are right in that you cannot use over the ear ones on test day so i suggest getting ear plugs now and PTing with them. i use these https://www.amazon.com/Earplugs-virtually-Comfortable-Sleeping-Studying/dp/B095RGHQN7 and they work great. idk about them hurting, they tend to hurt me if i push them in too deep lmaooo
If you are planning on (re)taking it in April (which I think you should because it sounds like you've come too far to let this darn test win!! Keep pushing!), I would recommend requesting a tablet and hotel voucher from LSAC. I've heard others having problems with Macs as well, especially the new ones...
The tablet they send is already set perfectly to take the test. I'm taking the LSAT tomorrow and requested a tablet a couple weeks back from LSAC for my Feb. test since I don't have a laptop that I would trust come test taking time (old laptop with RAM and other issues...).
It arrived about a week ago, so I've had time to familiarize myself with it and see how a PT feels on it. If you do request a tablet, I would also recommend getting a USB splitter (like this one) and USB-C to USB adapter (like these) for connecting your mouse and keyboard since the tablets only have one USB-C port.
I haven't utilized the hotel voucher options because I'm very fortunate to have a room in my house that I was able to transform into an LSAT-takers dream, but I've read positive things from others on this thread who have used the hotel option!
You've made it this far, and these circumstances don't define you. Keep charging forward!
I just looked this up out of curiosity; the closest thing I could find to "Cambridge LSAT difficult LR questions" is $899 used on Amazon. My guess (from this listing, and also from what I read on other sites) is that it went out of print some time ago and whoever owns it realizes that an obsessive LSAT taker for whom money is no object might actually pay that. More power to the seller, IMO, but I do wish something similar still existed within a reasonable price range.
Here’s the link to it on amazon. It’s 40 bucks https://www.amazon.com/Loophole-LSAT-Logical-Reasoning/dp/1732749000
I highly recommend it. I didn’t mention this in my original post, but I also liked the book because it felt like I was completing a LR workbook and I have always preferred workbooks when learning something new. It has drills to complete throughout the book rather than just being a lengthy, dull prep book. It’s kind of hard to describe, but I really liked the format.
It will be released as a PT for the public. It's currently available to be ordered on Amazon
On Amazon, it says that PT 88 will ship November 26th. That just seems way too far and out of schedule with how they were released in the past. That’s a full month and some change after scores are purported to be released. I don’t believe PT 87 had as big of a gap as this one, so hopefully it will be released sooner.

Ya, having bad caffeine pills can be a huge difference. I have tried lots of different brands from in stores, and eventually did some research and ordered them from Amazon since there's a broader selection. I have bought them from Walgreens, food city, and Walmart and was not happy with them, the ones I am using now are from "Prolab" and I have been extremely pleased with them. I get energy from every pill, and I don't get any weird side effects, and unless I take like a ridiculous amount of them, I don't crash or anything. Heres the link:

February 11th for the PT on Amazon

sorry this just popped up on my notif lol — if you took the recent LSAT hoping it went well!
I believe they're called A/B/C bc they were never released on a test officially: they were additive 'super prep' material bundled as extra for those who wanted an extra challenge (think it was this one http://www.amazon.com/Official-SuperPrep-School-Admission-Council/dp/0979305063). So shouldn't be too surprising it's truly sadistic lol
Didn’t know you needed a microphone for the writing section, I know someone who uses this for zoom calls - fairly cheap option Paladou 3.5MM PC Microphone, Professional Recording Condenser Microphone Compatible with PC, Laptop, iPhone, iPad, Singing,Voice Recording,YouTube,Skype,Gaming(3.5mm PC Microphone Plug and Play) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089QGN89V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_QtTlFbZ86CGWX
Detail review / blind review will help build your confidence. Yes confidence is importance as is allows you to move quickly. A wrong answer journal allowed me to see my mistakes and eventually build confidence.

Improvements really have to do with how much time is spent in REVIEWING errors . I have friends who spent money on course with no review and fail... I think either way at the end of the day if you Chanel 100% energy into reviewing your PTs or sections you will improve . I used a wrong answer journal the took me from a 145 to 172 over 12 months.

I really think she would benefit apt from discussing her wrong answer OUT LOUD with you. If someone is not scoring high they are in a loop back and forth falling for the same traps. This is why a wrong answer journal really helps. Once that frown is turned to a smile she gonna be right there with you .

This is the pattern I follow Logic games , LR or even RC :
- I missed this question due to not being able to finish
- I missed this question because I did not understand the sufficient / necessary rule
- basically what did you NOT understand or what trap did you fall for?
- Dig deep into the logic of the right answer and note the difference. Say HECKKKKK NO and develop a pattern to think that way
