I think failing to tie a specific learning objective to an exercise and reflecting on how the exercise will help us achieve the objective is a big problem with LSAT (and non-LSAT) studying in general. Maybe this is a valuable exercise. I'm skeptical…

@mbrighton said: This site is unbelievably user-unfriendly. I can't figure out where anything is or how to use anything! I'm sure I'll get the hang of it eventually but in the meantime I feel like I'm wasting such valuable study time just tryi…

You’ve got to improve your RC range, and you need to tighten up in LR to stay closer to your higher end with greater consistency. For one thing, you need to diagnose your issues with greater nuance. Top scorers don’t struggle because of question ty…

Absolutely. Once I've finished my analysis and written a report , I like to give the mechanic a name, something I can use to label all the complexity I’ve just discovered and developed into a tidy conceptual package. “Conditional Logic” is this kin…

You're absolutely asking the right question. I don't love the idea of Frankenstein-ing a section together out of these questions though. How does that accommodate your study objective of understanding and correcting your errors? What does that struc…
-
Yeah, your averages look inside the margins of error on LR and LG, so got to bring RC down. On LR, though, you shouldn’t be “typically” finishing the section. You should be reliably finishing the section with substantial amounts of time for review. …

Having taken a cursory glance at the US Constitution, as well as a number of constitutional law classes, I would argue that democratic values of freedom of speech do not mean “say whatever you want without consequence.” The US Constitution prevents …

Just chipping in my part for the record: I studied on my own without asking for help for about 6 months before coming to 7Sage. I worked my way up to the low 160’s and then plateaued. Once I got to 160 plateau, I continued working hard. In fact, I …

There is one case in Constitutional Law where Scalia is formulating his whole dissent based on the difference between "a"recognition of sovereignty and "the" recognition of sovereignty. It's really quite silly. This type of thing comes up on the LSA…

I'm not interpreting the necessary condition as conditional at all. It's not "IF I'm moving on THEN it will be without you." No. If the sufficient is triggered, there's no ifs about it: I am moving on. Moving-on-without-you is a singular concept he…

This is actually a really important question. Here's how I'd represent it: W --> M The representation should show the relationship between the terms. The relationship is very simple. It's the terms themselves that are complex, and we don't re…

Yeah, do it on paper. It might be somewhat more true to test day conditions to work off the screen using blank scratch paper rather than actually printing the games. I wouldn’t know what to do with myself without pencil and paper.

Really great post @ninamatryoshka ! With analysis leading to these types of insights, it doesn't surprise me you were able to break into 170's. Congrats, and thanks for sharing! I would just like to highlight a couple things I think are particularl…

I recently wrote a small manifesto on this if you'd be interested in a tedious, extremely over-complicated answer to this: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/comment/171032

@Andrew_Neiman said: Wow, sad I missed this update!! Did you end up doing OCI? Oh man, I still need to give this a more in-depth update. For now though, I can address OCI at least: I did not do OCI. For those that may not know, OCI is On Ca…

That happened to me too. It does suck, and I took a month or two to sulk around and feel bad about myself. In hindsight, I’m glad it went down that way though; I think I needed to be kicked before I was able to make major changes. When I came back t…

@whatsmyname said: I appreciate your comprehensive input in this discussion so much that you have no idea. I'm putting these things into practice and it seems I'm already getting through my sections faster and not doing badly either! Chee…

I went way deeper into this than I intended, haha. This is not for every score range or every level of development. It may not necessarily be for someone with a sub-170 target score at all, though I’d still push it for anyone wanting to push into th…

@swanganie said: I've seen some 7Sage posts, particularly for LR section timing, that recommend going as quickly as possible to leave 10-12min to go back to the challenging last few questions or the starred ones. That kind of pace baffles me; …

Thanks for the link @Christopherr . In addressing this specific topic, I’d highlight two things and add one from my response in the linked thread. The highlights: Read carefully and slowly. Rushing and skimming is not the way. Extreme caution an…

I wouldn't recommend anything at all. You will always sacrifice comprehension for speed, and that is always a really negative trade-off which, perhaps ironically, often results in being slower. If you're ESL and struggling with a level of proficienc…

Time management strategy is a robust area of study. You can keep it as simple as a 10-in-10 style benchmark strategy, or you can get as complex as empirical analysis and game theory. A few universal basics though: Time management is not going fas…

Yeah, you have to treat every error like a catastrophe. Dig deep into it and get to the core of what went wrong. You've also got to really emphasize timing errors. Analyzing your performance based on right/wrong answers is no longer good enough. Get…

Congrats on your new high score! And do NOT be intimidated on here. The value of these forums is in the discussion itself, not in "correct" answers. I've said some really dumb things on here (See generally https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/dis…

Go ahead and take the diagnostic test first. It's nice to nail down that starting point before you really get going. Then do the curriculum. The practice tests are most useful for identifying areas for further study and improvement, and until you c…
