Here's a dirty trick that I don't see anyone else talk about, probably because it doesn't work for everyone. But for me, it works wonders on some of the short and tricky ones. Negate the answer choices like you do for NA questions. If you have a goo…

Great post, and thanks for following up with that promise. One thing that confused me was when you said to take practice tests every week. How does that work? If you haven't even gone through most of the material yet, what does taking practice tests…

@Shrilaraune Could you tell me a little bit more about what you believe prephrasing a flaw is vs. recognizing? I think making that distinction would be helpful. You're doing great. It's always for the best to build a system. As to your questio…

IMO, NA don't have any direct relationship with the flaw. It may or may not fix it, or even need to address it. It's good to have an idea of what the flaw is, but recognizing the flaw is not the same thing as prephrasing a flaw. Definitely don't p…

I think this is a bit of a misconception. The shift wasn't related to difficulty, but rather towards more subjective and more nebulous types of questions. For me, having trained myself on these questions, I frequently bomb early 30's and 40's PTs be…

I would recommend the Podcast episode with NotMyName4. Just listened to the podcast and it was deeply helpful. It was the only piece of media that offered the unique perspective of failing because of practicing too strongly. What I mean is this: b…

@"Pam Beesly" said: @Bamboosprout I totally agree. I actually tried to go through the PowerScore Bible for RC and found it so much more informative than 7sage. Luckily LG comes naturally to me and is my best section and I usually average about…

I actually recommend going beyond 7sage if RC is your problem. Unfortunately, RC is 7sage's weakest aspect, and the best source of guidance on 7sage for RC is the discussion forums, instead of the curriculum. I recommend either the manhattan prep or…

No need to postpone, but just be sure to set your expectations properly. I was practicing very highly at some point during my practice, but I realized, similarly to you, that every now and then, you can get a bad test, and the score will drop immens…

@BlindReviewer said: Your advance strategy is what I typically do, but this time, it backfired on me because I’m PT 63, both hard parallel questions’ correct answer is E.

@KarateMaster said: I check conclusion match first. If it doesn’t match I eliminate the AC right away so during the second pass you don’t have to check all 5. But it doesn’t work as well for PF This is great! Yes, I can see this helping a lo…

@"paulmv.benthem" said: @Bamboosprout , my strategy is slightly different for PR and PF questions...is there one in particular that's proving an issue? In pt 63, I got two PR questions wrong: section 1 number 21 and 24. I rushed through bo…

@Bumblebee said: I would like some advice from others too!! I think you should be more decisive and just skip if you can’t find the flaw. It takes a lot of time to read the answer choices, so it’s probably better to just save it for the seco…

Just listened to the podcast and it was deeply helpful. It was the only piece of media that helped me gain perspective in regards to how my last lsat went, because of how similar it was to the June lsat for notmyname. Thank you.

Yeah, I think you have a strong plan. Focus on LG, the most learnable section, while keeping the LR and RC sections fresh in your mind. Just try your best. There's very little more you can do, and if you can't get the score you want, it's ok. It's b…

Awesome opinion piece. Great perspective to approach the change.

Hope they extend the scholarships to you.

Wow, all the numbers went up again. We are buying high right now T_T. Thanks for sharing this

@"lady macbeth" said: Was it after the 5th section or one of the other sections? It's crazy how who you have as a proctor matters so much. I'm sorry but I'm sure it's happened before. Some proctors can really be major ball busters and others a…

@MissChanandler said: Yeah, I think the proctor was doing what she thought was best. I think my punishment was more severe than standard, but still nothing out of the ordinary.
