Yare is right.
I don't think so
I can't tell you how many times I heard that line. You learned gemara for so many years, so that probably helps you with the lsat right?" It's not true IMHO. In gemara you have a solid svara a few on an amud everything else is darshaning and trying to learn it the right way. With the lsat if you think into it like a gemara you'll just get the answers wrong right from the get go. You have 35 min. to answer 25 questions, it's completely different it's all about racing the clock.
And like Yare said the MAIN part of the lsat is general reading comprehension. How well you understand something after you read it. I was at a huge disadvantage here because I hardly read any college level books in the past 5 years.
There is some advantage for 2 guys coming off the street and taking the test (just based on knowing how logic works in general), but once you want to get in the top few percentile gemara won't help much. You need lsat training. It's the type of test that could be mastered all you need to know is how.
I'll have to agree with you, personally the time limit is the most difficult factor.
from the fact that you find issue with the latter part of my statement, means you have no clue what the lsat is about.
the reading passages are far above and beyond the comprehension of %99.95 of the yeshiva guys. now, that doesn't mean if they're smart guys they can't pick it up with some hard work, but it's certainly not coming naturally.
I'm quite familiar with the LSAT.
I guess the intelligence of all
your Yeshiva friends tells me how intelligent you are ('tell me who your friends are and i will tell you who you are'?!), if you're surrounded with such Yeshiva friends of whom as you write "99.95%" are not smart enough...
Very impressive for whichever Yeshiva
you went to, but please don't disparage "99.95%" of all the other Yeshiva goers.
