I thought 72 has exceptionally tough LR sections. I find with PTs it's the individual sections that are what I always remember being hard, not necessarily the full test.
-
I like to think of them like JY does and then just POE based on whether the answer choice allows new worlds/possibilities or restricts old ones from happening. I can also usually POE 2-3 of the answer choices by looking back at my old work done on p…

I got a 7Sage tutor and sent him footage of me taking sections. It's amazing what difference little things make on this section. If you're sometimes missing -11 though then you need to make sure you have your diagramming skills down and are able to …

How often do you hit -3 on a fresh section vs -10? That's a pretty solid LG score for a fresh section... Doesn't seem like the variation is random. There might be some specific game type or inference/gameboard/rule that you need to practice getting …

That's an older article from May I believe. Here's the most recent update: http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/plan_to_drop_law_school_entry_exam_requirement_withdrawn_before_house_vote

JY and David in one AMA? How could I miss this?

Nice man! I had a similar epiphany with RC a while back and nothing feels better than seeing some RC improvement!

To be honest, when I was prepping and struggling with the same thing I found the best way to study these things was re-doing the quizzes in the core curriculum that deal with LAWGIG and some/most statements. It's titled: Some and Most Relationships …

I'm interested in M&A/PE deal work and big firms are really the only shops that work on these deals. I also think it fits my skill sets well. Additionally, BL affords me some really unique experience and exit ops that are equally enticing. I'm a…

@mahe229 said: One of my biggest problems is that I do not read fast enough and sometimes I tend to skip over words that make or break answer choices. Partially I blame my ADHD for this. But regardless I need to improve. If anyone has any advi…

Got my first -0 on a fresh LR section this week along with my highest PT score. Now to get a -0 on a modern RC

Congrats, bru! I just got my highest score earlier this week and I'm still ecstatic over it, haha. Keep on killin' it!

When I'm stuck I usually try to re-read the stimulus and see if I'm missing something. Also see if I can find a reason to eliminate one of the answer choices I'm stuck on. If I still can't figure out I skip it and come back to it.
-
Definitely not a fan for all the reasons above lol

How exactly does one blind review an already untimed LR section? I think doing sections untimed is a great way to introduce interleaved practice into your routine. Switching between question types on LR sections is an important skill. I would, how…

Congrats Daniel! Like many others, not surprised but totally stoked for ya!

Where are you missing points? What do your score breakdowns look like when you get those 160 scores compared to the 170- scores? What was your diagnostic and what did you do to study? I ask because I've seen other people start off really strong i…

Your RC and LG skills are about as solid as one can hope to achieve. Your issue is clearly with LR. If you want to hit the 173/+ range, you're going to need to get them to -2. This is very doable! I just gave the same advice in another thread, but…
