  • @"work all week" said: You need to be able to fully understand how to get the questions right in an untimed setting before you should start worrying about timing. Going faster means nothing if you can't get the problems right. With more unde…
  • Hmm... Advice above seems good. Sometimes you just need to take 20 seconds and breathe. You think you can't afford the time, but you can't afford to freak out and mess up the whole section either. Also, talk to your doctor about meds. You may have …

  • Like the others above me have said; it depends. The answer we so often hate to hear. I don't think it's a terribly short amount of time to have to PT at 1-2 per week. Then again, some people hit their target scores within 3 tests and others take 30.
  • Screw motivation! It comes and goes like hunger. It's all about building the discipline to get back up when you're feeling down like this. You got this test man, your name says it all! LR can be a bitch to get down, but do maybe 10 Qs and really si…
  • @dantlee14 said: Stay the HELL away from PT 41, and game 4 in particular. I'm pouring one out for all the brave souls who sacrificed themselves in October 2003. HAHA! Dude, just checked it out. Damn. I'll also be pouring one out for those so…
  • Thank you @7Sage I can finally buy more office supplies! LOL Congrats everyone!

  • @"Cant Get Right" said: @fmihalic2 said: How prevalent are games of this level of difficulty on the more modern LSATs? I think I would drop dead in there if I were to see a game like this. Especially game #2!!!!! Eh, ha…
  • No, its not you. Some weird stuff in there most likely before we were born. Sometimes it makes me laugh....
  • @"Cant Get Right" said: @"Alex Divine" said: Although sometimes I wonder if I was doing better with the Cambridge Packets. It really helped me to see pattern recognition on. The argument people tend to leverage against them is that…
  • Yeah, with the exception of a few types of questions you'll learn about, every question has something "wrong" with it. @"Heart Shaped Box" said it perfectly!
  • @extramedium said: @"Alex Divine" said: @Mellow_Z said: Thanks a lot guys! This really eases my fears. I think the letter from my editor will help. Nothing to worry about this -- you got this
  • I simply re-read the passaged untimed and write line citations near any of the answers. I'll often read it twice during blind review too.
  • LOL I wa so confused lmao

  • @jaefromcanada said: We are literally in the exact same situation. Keep on keeping on. Take a break. Yup. This. Just relax and take a couple days off. It will do you wonders!
  • Not surprised. Within 5 years I bet all T14s will accept the GRE. Only makes sense! I don't think it will change much too much. More unqualified applicants with Thespian Dance Theory degrees looking for the next thing to do in life. But, eventually,…
  • I've heard people swear by it and others completely detest it. In my opinion, mimic test day as closely as possible. Shortening time frames might prove to be helpful on drills, but I think it's best to take an treat the test like the real thing.
  • I find the new tests, 50s, 60s, 70s, quite different and more challenging. Yeah, they test the same skills, but they do it differently in many ways. Make sure to expose yourself to all the tests before taking the test!
  • @tams2018 said: @"Alex Divine" said: @tams2018 said: thanks for the tip. Can't to read it. Yeah- -- Just don't sacrifice time doing the CC or whatever you are using to prep in lieu of this book.It's …
  • Dope. Thank you
  • Well, I think I made my mind up then. thank you fellas!

  • Do you guys ever skip questions when fool proofing sometimes...games like this, for example: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-2-section-3-game-3/ It makes me feel guilty a bit, but I know we aren't likely going to see many of these…

  • @cgracia12 said: Yeah, following the fool proof method, Idk how people have more time to do more than one LG section in a day, unless LG's is all they're working on for the day. I focus on 1 LG section per day. So today was my third day f…
  • @tylerdschreur10 said: I will check those out, thanks! Don't mention it! Seeing the 180er run through a RC passage is literally invaluable.
  • @AllezAllez21 said: @"Alex Divine" said: Did you only do LG during that time? Or did you also find to drill and PT or whatever? I am studying full time, so I did other stuff throughout. On the first pass through or two, it …
