  • Well, being on different levels isn't such a bad thing, but if you don't have much to teach him, him explaining the concepts to you could work to his advantage. Have you used the 7Sage study buddy feature? https://classic.7sage.com/buddies/ Is th…
  • Well, why do you have to take the test in 2 months? You just want to or is there a reason? Honestly, the answer depends on where you're scoring at now and where you want to be. I would, however, make sure to, at the very least, do every logic game …
  • Have you tried clean copy blind review whereby you use a clean copy of the best and blind review it. I find this will help to fight off our egos when having to either admit we were wrong about something or have a bad feeling incline us the change it…

  • Shoot -- I didn't even see that bit about your issues with RC. Have you tried the memory method yet? If not, The LSAT Trainer and MLSAT RC have worked very well for me. I took techniques from all of those and did what worked for me. Don't worry so…

  • Definitely try a break, try some untimed work, and I highly recommend The LSAT Trainer and Manhattan LSAT's RC book. All have helped me immensely, along with JY's awesome memory method. Make sure you focus on the details a little bit, but mostly be…

  • It just does kind of suck that they might not have digital tests online to practice on... That definitely could be quite a disadvantage. Although with the LSAC under new leadership that seems to be headed in a modern direction, I still think it is g…
  • @Anthony_Mahmud said: I'm not familiar with the precedence for announcing/implementing changes, but I can't imagine that they would make the digital LSAT default/mandatory without at least a year or two of advanced notice, or simultaneous offe…

  • Jesus H. Christmas! I only use vellum paper or papyrus if I'm in a jam.

  • @uhinberg said: I was just looking over this past LSAT, which I took, and it hit me that there might be a bit of a trick to make substitution Qs easier. Part of the issue in substitution Qs, at least some of the time, is that once your diagram…
  • Where are your weaknesses? Have you completed the 7Sage CC and done the corresponding drills? If reading comprehension is where you are having the most trouble, I would recommend going back through the CC on RC and grammar. The LSAT Trainer, Manhat…

  • @Katharine said: Hi all, I'm retaking the LSAT in September, and am trying to get together a study plan. I'm thinking I'll take one PT a week, go over one section per day afterwards, and have two days to rest/work on the soft parts of app…

  • @jackigoe said: Thank you everyone for your input! I appreciate it immensely! It's a great read, but I think it's best suited for those early in their prep. Mike Kim also can be a bit long winded when making a point and sometimes I feel like…
  • @MichaelTheArchAngel said: @"Connie Lingus" said: Hey there I'm averaging -11 on RC. (156) I have done the CC method of RC and my score went up a little, but does anyone have any tips to further increase my score? Particul…

  • From my understanding, schools see your score in it's entirety and not just by section. The exception being the writing sample. HYS don't award merit $$$, but a higher LSAT will never hurt
