Start small then go big. Drills and FP then PT! I took a break from December until May and I didn't bother taking PT 36 again since I did it before. I took my first PT this week and I spent the time before going through the CC, drilling timed/ untim…

Aww this made my day! @keets993 Yay to my girl!

@CLAY277 said: The game type is sort of irrelevant. I'm saying when **fool proofing ** any game, say 10 times, should you do it ten times straight right then and there or spread your repetitions out among hours/days. I spread them out by day…

@Sleepysloth said: thank you guys, this is all great advice! I am sticking with my September LSAT date so I will instead spread out my PT's, I agree that BR on the same day has been tiresome... and I will definitely keep reviewing my problem a…

@"samantha.ashley92" said: I usually write things like "question", "problem", "solution", "then", "now", and maybe a word/phrase to summarize something if there are multiple problems, solutions, etc. If I think something is really important (l…

@hawaiihi said: I do really low-resolution summaries. I love them for two reasons: they allow me to then skim through the paragraph more quickly, and they help me to remember what it's about. Honestly, I hardly look back at them once I start a…

Happy Canada day to everyone in my second country! Grateful to celebrate Canada day today then 4th of July in a few! Those in Toronto enjoy the lake fireworks for me!!

@PearsonSpecterLittUp said: @"samantha.ashley92" said: @PearsonSpecterLittUp I think what @AshleighK is saying is that an 85% would only translate to a 3.0 in the US, while it's about a 3.67 in Canada. It gives Canadians an unfair …

@amatthews304 said: I write reeeeally low resolution summaries next to each paragraph. Like one or two words. And it's generally the same 20 or so buzzwords (i.e. "hypothesis", "argument 1", "criticism", etc) for every passage. It definitely h…

@s_jricke said: @AshleighK said: I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to write my LRS on timed sections or if I want to do them in my head. What do you do? I'm trying both out but just curious to know what everyone else has d…

@FlashLSAT said: Weakening questions can be very difficult especially if you do not have an approach when coming in contact with them. Identifying the premise and the conclusion is indeed a key step but you have to also notice the jump that is…

@lsatplaylist said: I admire your courage re: first post-CC PT, @AshleighK. I bet it was a great feeling to finish the CC. Thank you! It was. But I do revisit it for troublesome question types but it’s more of a refresher you know?

I wanted confirmation on this if anyone knows: I've heard that US law schools refer to the Canadian grading system when assessing marks for students who attended university abroad. Can anyone confirm this? The reason I ask is because an 85% is regar…

@Micolash said: @AshleighK That's great to hear! I am just worried that my brain will become conditioned into being able to concentrate only when I am listening to music and I don't want that happening on test day or anything. I enjoy lis…

I usually study with music. For some reason, when I listen to music it makes me concentrate because of all the noise. I haven't tried it while studying for the LSAT but hey, if it helps you why not? Don't rely on it of course but if it helps you get…

NA questions have two "types": bridging a gap or protecting the argument. Always remember that NA are on the lower spectrum of being a perfect argument unlike SA where the argument is 100% valid. NA is also a weakness for me but I mostly struggle wi…

@lsatplaylist said: How's everyone doing? Finished CC ~2 weeks ago. Working on untimed drills for LR, FPing PT 1-36 (at PT 3 now), and working on RC to figure out the strategy that works for me. Taking my first post CC PT this weekend. Hby?

I came across this post because I was starting to get frustrated not seeing big improvements after following a hectic study schedule similar to yours. This motivated me to keep going, thank you

Interested, I might post-pone September or retake in November or Jan
-
Fool proof logic games from PT 1-36, target your weaknesses by question type, BR/drill, and go through the CC to grasp your fundamentals. That's a great diagnostic score and a 170 will take work but you can definitely do it! I'm also aiming for the …

I'd love to join! My weakness is also LR and strength in LG with fluctuations in RC. Maybe we can find someone who has a strength in LR so we can balance it out

I watch the full explanation then try it again after (usually the next day). Then I decide to spread it out by either a day or a few hours until I hit -0. But, once I hit -0 I revisit it after a few days or a week to ensure I really understood the g…

@teamteamvicster said: Aww don't apologize! I'm glad you are comfortable discussing your mental health. It is important to destigmatize it. so I took my daily meds for anxiety but didn't take my klonopin because it makes me feel like a zombie…

@janelleeng said: i usually write a quick sentence about what each paragraph is about. it's better to write a LRS, that way you get the gist of what the paragraph is about. I agree! I tried to balance it in my head but when time is ticking a…

@keets993 said: I write them out beside the paragraph. Helps to have it there, I can't keep everything in my head. Yeah I agree. I did a timed section of RC from PT 37 and the passages I did well on had LRS next to the paragraphs. The ones I…

@JohnnyKarate said: Keep at it. Also, hitting a 170 is a very difficult thing to do. I know it may seem like everyone is hitting at or close to 170, but you have to remember that 170 is top 97.4% percentile of test takers. I have seen people g…

@keets993 said: @AshleighK omg I love untimed drills. It really helps you see where your weaknesses are. Of course you shouldn't neglect timed stuff but if you're not going to get something untimed or it takes you hours to understand (say supe…
