It can certainly be frustrating, but it depends on what you really want. For the longest time, I was testing to prove how good I was instead of to improve how good I was. I failed at doing either, haha. It’s a hard thing for intelligent adults to st…

@Choocharoo said: sry - change to: Best Study group currently existing for April 2022/June 2022 LSAT! Don't change it. Make it true!

My study group produced six Sages, with three or four more who nearly broke through and totally could have on any given test. So if y’all wanna claim best ever, you better bring it!

How big is the wall? Might be easier to cover than take down. A couple white sheets and some thumb tacks sounds a lot easier if they’re going to be a problem.

Well this is an interesting thread to be coming back up now that I’m one semester from graduation. @"Cant Get Right" said: Like Alex, I don't want to be a lawyer. I think I'll be a very effective one though, and if I apply myself in the right…

I’ve spent whole days on a single LR question, lol. A lot of that was inefficiency—not understanding exactly what I was even supposed to be doing—but sometimes it’s just arduous, time consuming work. Review is figuring out things you don’t understan…

I had two styles of BR depending on what I was focusing on. If I was focused on substance and fundamentals, I’d strictly adhere to the 7Sage method where you must be 100% confident in order to forego review. I was very strict and would BR anything b…

I like your general time management strategy of spending time to read the passage deeply and then being aggressive in the Q&A's. That is correct. I don't particularly like what you're specifically doing with that time as far as all the highligh…

I never use hunt mode or any other form of prephrasing procedure. It saves very little time when it works, and it can be really time-consuming when it doesn’t. It’s also generally less accurate. If you understand the stimulus well enough to have a …

Did y'all see where Mr. Beast did a real Squid Game? Gave the winner got $456,000. Several people got the umbrella and just legit did it. I really want to try that game.

I'm not a memorization person either, so I think seeing them in context is really important. You'll never need to recite a list of indicators, so think about your real objective with learning them. What you really need is for these to trigger recogn…

It doesn't sound like the delay is going to really disrupt any current application plans, so I think delaying your test is an easy call. If you're at the -5 range for BR on LR and RC, you've got a long ways to go before you're cracking the 170's wi…

@LSATstudyperson said: I will try to do that! though after spending so much time on a question it feels discouraging to skip it. Just to make sure I understand clearly: When BR these questions I should try to spend the time breaking down the g…

Don’t spin your wheels. The most important thing for this type of question is to identify specific work to do. If you can’t do that, it’s an easy call to move on. When you’re not doing anything specific, you’re wasting your time. As for what that w…

Are these your first tests in the 70's? LR evolves a bit overtime and people frequently see drops as they advance from older into newer material. Whatever the explanation, though, what really matters is how you respond to these errors. The good news…

This is a REALLY, uniquely hard question, and it makes for a really poor vehicle to discuss your actual question: "What do you do if you don't see anything wrong with the argument?" The problem with this question goes way beyond this. Just look at i…
-
You’re focusing on the wrong thing. Don’t just ask why the right answer is right. That should be looked at, but it’s really not the most important thing. You have to be more reflective than that. Your objective should be to figure out your misunders…

I think that just goes to the nature of “damage.” Think about all the ways someone could damage their leg. That would range from something like a sprained ankle up to karate kicking a wood chipper or something. Again, we just have to be more specifi…

Yeah, I think you pretty much got it. It’s a really complicated problem the way they mix the conditional and causal relationships here: “a factor that is not itself sufficient to produce a certain effect. . .” Damn. I mean, that’s a lot to process…

@Ashley2018 said: This is a good opportunity to clear up misconceptions...I was under the impression that causal arguments on the LSAT were absolute in that it was one cause, one effect. Doesn't the bulging disks question indicate that there c…

@Ashley2018 said: Hi! The thing I found confusing in the back pain question was the use of "sufficient" and "necessary" because I wasn't sure whether to treat this like a conditional or causal type question. And so I found A and B incredi…

On it @Ashley2018 ! I think these two questions are actually great examples of the limits on the pre-phrasing strategy. To be honest, I didn’t really know what to expect going into the AC’s. I understood that the arguments were flawed, and I had so…

Realistically, this kind of increase just doesn’t happen in this amount of time. I’d strongly suggest delaying your test. If that’s just not possible, I’d maybe try taking and BRing as many PT’s as you can fit between now and then. But to reiterate,…

I struggled a lot with this, so I think you calibrated it just right for maximum effectiveness. Change either of those numbers in either direction and I think it’s an easy question. Ultimately, I had to go with -2 LR. -4 RC allows for slightly more …

I retook my 170, and improving it was essentially the same process as improving from my earlier 160s scores. That process plays out very differently at that range, but it’s still the same thing: diagnose your weaknesses, develop a plan to address th…

Prephrasing strategies are garbage. That’s a little more hyperbolic than I want to actually represent, but in the spirit of the thread I just felt like leading with something blunt and melodramatic. My real position is probably something more like:…

I’d expect this kind of approach to plateau, for most people, around the upper-mid 150’s. To go much further, you need to understand the stimulus. It’s as simple as that. The context is not unimportant and is, more often than not, absolutely critica…
