Well … I spent every spare minute this last week working my way through the SuperPrep book. I tried to take it slow and went over the answers to every question to make sure that I understood why a given answer was right and why each of the other answers was wrong. After all, I have a full month. I can afford to do this right.
By the way, I am discovering that law school applicants have their own buzzwords and slang. For example, you do not say that “This is the correct answer.” Instead, you say “This is the credited response.”. Just typing that makes me feel more like a law school applicant.
Anyway, I am really happy with how I did on the SuperPrep material. Even on some of the questions where I didn’t grasp the logical constructs completely, I was able to get a high percentage of them correct. But I need to understand the concepts better before September 29th! NOTE TO SELF: Gain a better understanding of such terms as “sufficient condition” and “necessary condition”.
I also am really concerned about the logic games sections! As I mentioned earlier, I do well on them, but I take far too much time!
On a side note, I spent some time on the internet looking for LSAT information and I found that there are several forums dedicated to LSAT Preparation and Law School Admission. I signed up for a free account at Top Law Schools and it has already been an invaluable resource!
Having said that, I have ordered a book that one of the users on there suggested called the Powerscore Logic Games Bible. It is supposed to be the quintessential reference for getting better and faster on the logic games. I sure hope it can help me!!
I will let you know when it arrives. In the meantime, I am going to start work in “The Next 10 Actual Official LSAT PrepTests”. It contains complete tests but unlike the SuperPrep, it does not give explanations for the answers, just the credited responses. (Did you see that? I used an insider term!!!).
Until next time …
