  • @apublicdisplay said: Have something to look forward to doing at the end of a full test. Like going to the movies or something. Or, if you're really not feeling it, think in terms of finishing at least up to the 15 minute break. You may find a…
  • @shzuhairi said: I graduate next year and I want to do the best in the LSATs, so if I prepare(not fully commit to it but still understand) the LSATs does anyone think it would be beneficial? I love your initiative but I think it would be bes…

  • @skrishnan said: Hi, Amongst all sections, LG is probably my weakest. It takes me way too much time. Which is a better way to go through the CC ( I started with LG about a week ago) Doing the questions and PS's of each questio…

  • I tend to skip an average of 4 questions when I do 25 in 25. I just try to put eyes on 25 in the first 25 minutes. I'm not sure I understand what the second part of your question is asking specifically?
  • @StellaBlue said: @"Alex Divine" wow! thank you for the suggestion, that seems to make sense. Absolutely! I can't guarantee it is going to work, but I had the same dramatic drop with RC when I took a couple of the newer PTs. This seems to ha…

  • @tanes256 said: Hey, guys! I would like any advice you guys can give on splitting boards. I seem to always spend too much time trying to split and it's not really needed or I don't spend enough time trying to split and I could've saved time. I…
  • @uhinberg said: @StellaBlue said: Hi friends, Wondering if anyone else is having a similar problem: I was scoring -0 or -1 in RC on the older tests, but in the 60s and 70s, I'm trending towards -4 or -5. I'm sort of depending on ace-…

  • @AJordanMD said: Hello, everyone! I wanted to hear opinions and gather data on weighing the costs and benefits of applying to law school after fall semester (early December at my university) with a higher GPA compared to applying much ear…
  • I jot down a sentence or two after each paragraph just stating the main idea/purpose of the paragraph. Aside from that I don't take any other notes. I implore you to experiment and try different techniques with RC to find out what works for you. If …
  • Games have always been my weakest section. I felt like they would never click for me and I basically accepted the fact I would only get through 2 or 3 games at most. I just figured I would get perfect scores on LR and RC to make up for it. What eve…
  • @september said: Foods? Exercise? What? Yup, healthy diet, plenty of exercise, and enough sleep. Aside from that I think @"vanessa fisher" hit the nail on the head when she said that stamina also builds over time. I feel like cultivating di…
  • @pcainti said: I've gotten to the point where I'm just drilling and taking PrepTests now. Ambitiously I've tried to do 1 per day, but I've quickly realized this has diminishing returns. After the 3rd or 4th consecutive day of taking PrepTests,…
  • @mel_emm8 said: I know this is usually said to be a huge no-no, but in my studies (poli sci and sociology student) i skim read all the time and find it super helpful to save time. When it comes to RC, I find I struggle the most with the w…
  • @theLSATdreamer said: well someone needs some ritalin lol, I used to do 2 hour periods take a break and go again, but then i took the test with accommodation and realized its a 6 hour test so now i just man up and try to do 6 hours straight …
  • @ryansinay said: I think my biggest issue is not having a plan going into the section. I either feel like I'm rushing through the passage and not understanding everything that I am reading which then causes me to spend too much time on the que…
  • @"marvin.dike" said: @"Alex Divine" man you were right. I realized i was over notating and my slower speed of reading forced the flow of my understanding to be incoherent at times. Reading a little faster actually helps me for some reason. I s…
  • @cpineda813 said: any unconventional games in the CC? Im curious to see what they look like as I have not come across any in my PTS. Yup -- I think there's a miscellaneous games section of problem sets. And some of the earlier PTs you'll run…
  • @Freddy_D said: Looks like I'm the odd man out with my RC love Whoa! I didn't know that was a choice. > @"conrad.p" said: Sadly, I don't have a team. I miss 1-3 consistently in every section, now. I guess LR is my easiest section. RC…
  • @achen013 said: Hey @"Alex Divine" ! Thank you so much for all of your advice and encouragement...you are awesome! You've helped me put things into a better perspective, I am so grateful. Best of luck to you. Aww well thank you! …
  • @LSATcantwin said: @uhinberg said: Actually, I think that the phrase "these vitamins" has to refer to Vitamins A and D. There is no other way to explain the word "these." It's a very tricky way to use referential phrasing, because …
  • @ryansinay said: I just completed PT60. I finished with a 160 and 165 on the BR. Reading comp is by far my biggest weakness. I usually average 7-11 wrong on RC. I've spent the last month focusing on LG and improved a lot averaging 2-4 wrong bu…

  • @nathanieljschwartz said: I ruled out D for the same reason as @"Alex Divine" mentioned above, but i def see the point @LSATcantwin is pointing out, i also suspect this is a ploy to trip one up. I find that LSAC loves doing this: making the co…
