Powerscore Online LSAT Live Course - Problem Sets/PTs

[pradhyumanbhutani]

1) In the Powerscore online course, are the problem sets in the HW e.g. MBT/Main Point and Pure Sequencing (Lesson 1) organized by difficulty or randomly e.g. increasing difficulty from Q1-40? Is there any place we can find question types organized by difficulty?
2) Where can we find more questions organized by type within our course once we have exhausted the HW for any type?
3) Which PTs are used in the Course HW/drills and Bibles, so we can avoid repeating these when we take full PTs?
4) Can we find full Powerscore explanations for any PTs besides the 6 in our course? Which full PTs should one take to prep with questions similar to those on recent/upcoming exams? Is there a break-off point?


Thank you

Hi, thanks for the message! I've replied to each of your points below


1. They are not set by difficulty, although there are usually easier problems towards the front, and more difficult problems near the end. However, we don't want it in order--that would make it too predictable, and very much unlike the LSAT! The randomness keeps you on your toes.

2. At the start, we actually limit the number of problems we want you to do intentionally. the key at the beginning is quality, not quantity. Study those questions you have done until you could explain them to me. That's the standard of clarity we want here, and trust me, more questions are coming in bulk very shortly!

3. We avoid this problem by having the full PTs not overlap. Student Services can provide more detail if needed, but we obviously don't want your Lesson and HW questions to overlap with PTs you are taking.

4. This Forum is the primary avenue for question explanations now (although we are still porting over explanations still). As for taking additional PTs, start in the PT70s and move into the PT80s. Then go earlier, back to the 60s and so on, if you get that far.

Please let me know if that helps. Thanks!

Thank you so much.
That's very helpful....just to clarify, does that mean more problem sets are posted later? - If we are fully done/confident with the hw problem sets of our lesson, when/where would we be able to find more problems organized *by type* in the course/student center?
In re: to the PTs , if I understand correctly, with 60-onwards we should generally not encounter repeat questions? By the way, just wanted to say, the fully-explained PTs are super helpful, especially to solidify the PS methodology - hope to see more!

Again thank you!!

Yes, each lesson comes with specific problem sets, but we start adding problem sets for important types you've seen before. So, when you see Weaken for the first time, you will have a Weaken problem set. And then the following lesson you have another one. It's not one and done

By the way, the standard for reviewing questions is in the "What is the Critical Study Error Many Students are Making?" section of this article: https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/the-be ... ice-tests/

It's broader than 60-end, but that's certainly a good starting point. Student Services can provide more detail then when you need it.

Thanks!
