Studying for the LSAT / Re: Reading Comprehension, LSAT and getting into Law School« on: September 11, 2005, 10:01:18 PM »
Yeah I have tried that...the thing is, I just interpret it wrong most times. It's a bit subjective to me, however stupi dthat sounds.

First of all, I am Brazilian. Second of all, the IQ test was given to me in the US last year, so it is a 135...period. But the joke was funny

Studying for the LSAT / Re: Retake TestMasters or retake something else?« on: September 11, 2005, 09:01:13 PM »
Hey! I guess if you didn't try your best or give a fair shot to testmasters it wouldn't be a bad idea to take it over. I am currently enrolled in Testmasters, and although they have only improved my score a few poinst so far I am confident that if I follow their instructions more closely I can do better. I have heard they are the best course out there for LSAT prep. Them and Powerscore. Unless the Blue Print is much cheaper I would stick with testmasters cause it's a bigger guarantee...
 At the same time trying Blue Print could be an experiment, and if they are testmasters instructors it should be similar.

Hey! Thank you for the tip. I sometimes take notes on the margins, but I guess I have a hard time distinguishing moderate from strong tones, etc.
For the games, honestly, all I do is work backwards. I use all the rules to eliminate wrong choices, and I try to quickly create all the hypos I can think of. But the main reason I am good at the games (I think) is because my father used to give me similar games from the time I was 6 years old to work on during summer vacations. I have a book just on logic games from the time I was in middle school that have the exact type games that come up in the LSAT, so I am a quick thinker at the games. But like I said, all I do is work backwards. I focus on knowing what can't be true, and when they change the rules or add new ones, I just work backwards after the incorporation of the new rules. It's worked for me, and i am sure it can work for you. If I can do it I am sure you can too. It's just a matter of making it fun and ineteresting to you. I hope this helps. Thanks again for the tip!!! 146

Ok...so...I don't know what to expect. I have a good undergrad rep (3.4 cum GPA, 4.0 in my majors), a 135 IQ, have been taking testmasters for a month and a half and still all I can score is a 153 after the third diagnostic? I just don't understand! I get all the games right, a good number of logical reasoning right and I fail the reading comp. It's umbelievable. I get most of them wrong!!! I have tried everything! Reading it fast (can't absorb any info) reading slow (only read two out of 4 passages), not reading at first and going back to the text to answer questions (miserable failure). Nothing works! Although English is not my first language, I have been here for 9 years and I do speak it fluently...If English was the problem the LR and Games would suck too but they don't. Does anyone know what I should do to improve my RC score? Please! I'm desperate! Oct 1st is just around the corner, and I am only applying to New York city schools.
