Thank you so much for all the great advice! I agree that I may have not been consistently drilling Games, and I certainly feel that drilling 4 games like a section will be very helpful.
As a f…
When it comes to softs, it matters to which schools you are applying to. The softs of the average HYS student will be far different from that of the average Hofstra law student.
In a vacuum, I would say that they are average/medium softs. You do ha…
If you're hitting 174s and 175s then you certainly know your stuff.
I do have a few questions so I can tailor any advice.
Where are you missing points on PTs?
Have you done the most recent ones in the late-70s and PT80?
What PTs did you get t…

New webinar coming soon, so keep an eye out!
YES!! Very much looking forward to it now that I'm further along in my prep and have a lot more to get out of it then the first time

In that case, you are bound to see improvements!
Good luck

I took it in FL and felt kind of ambivalent about it. I don't like dealing with pencil sharpening and worrying about taking time to bubble answers, so it was really nice to have that relief. I also never really erase on LG …

The problem with doing LG on a separate page is that looking from one page to another can cause one to become distracted looking between the pages and cause a delay between looking at the deductions you've already drawn. This definitely would make m…

I'm also not entirely sure how much the Digital LSAT will do for accessibility considering to best prepare for the LSAT you would need to be able to simulate test day conditions. That isn't very practical unless LSAC plans …

This is great advice that I completely left out:

Make sure to drill not just by game type, but also by actual sections under timed conditions. And then the second you finish, see how many you got wrong, and identify y…

@Mellow_Z Yeah they are exactly the same. If you look inside of the Palomino Blackwing long point sharpener, it actually says "KUM" on the metal casing inside.
Just noticed that! Thanks! Had…
@mk835
You say you feel less confident now than after you had drilled the LG bundle. From what else you wrote it seems like confidence and timing are your issues there.
I think that's normal especially if you weren't consistently drilling games. A…

I guess it is contingent on how good your memory is, but I don't think they would be inflated that much. Maybe somewhere around +5/-5 points. JY has mentioned that a good way to do a retake is to give yourself less time per section, perhaps 30 or ev…

The reading comprehension in the 60s + are overall more difficult. At least that's largely the consensus. So that explains some of the score drop in RC.
What is your process for blind reviewing reading comp?

Come on people, lets put together arguments and decide on the best way. Make an argument, and defend it against other arguments.
I bubble after every LG, every RC passage, and every two pages on LR.
My argument is that …

I'm constantly amazed at the things you guys bring up here at 7Sage! I'm a bubble-as-you-go type of guy, but to each their own.
The little stuff matters... sometimes... lmao

@"Alex Divine" makes sense, that also confirms my thoughts on breaking the flow.
(sidenote: you are not only a pencil guru, but also a bubbling guru! thank you )
@akistotle that is useful to know! thanks
Haha, No…
