This is going to be excellent. Big thanks to @Mike_Ross for organizing this and finally getting it to happen. I feel like I've been referencing my intention to do this for quite a long time now, so it's past due! I'm also really excited about the fo…
Here’s the two things I do that accounts for most of what I do with students.
Insist on proper BR. I just can’t tell you how important this is. If everyone just BR’d properly, the center of the curve would move from 151 to probably the mid 160’s, …
Never got around to that webinar, haha. Maybe we could do a quarantine session and go over it? I made the slides and everything, so would be easy to do if there’s any interest.
Everything before Introduction to Logic Games & Sequencing Games is LR.
Introduction to Logic Games & Sequencing Games to Grouping and Sequencing Games is LG
Reading Comprehension - Science to Hard Reading Comprehension is RC

Because it's hard to Socraticize through a video.
Yes! I think proponents of Socratic method forget that the Athenians decided it would probably just be best for everyone if they killed him.

@"Cant Get Right" Thanks for the insight! While I don't cover the BOR in such great depth, this would foster a great class discussion for my American government students.
It would be interesting to see how that goes. If yo…

@"Cant Get Right" If only we had a course that addressed this issue. Oh wait, we do now!

Yeah, …

Hey there @"Cant Get Right" ,
In regards to this amendment, are you referring to the idea that it is 'Congress' who can not make laws prohibiting these freedoms, but says nothing about our leaders creating executive order…
I think your reasoning here is very similar to JY’s. As I understood it, he is seeing the AC exploit the gap between grain and meat.
The only thing I don’t like about the reasoning you quote is the “less morally unacceptable” phrasing. The conclusi…
You should not be taking PT's in the first place, so you should absolutely most definitely stop taking PT's!
Having not even finished a quarter of the curriculum, was your expectation for a PT any different than what happened? You don't have the me…
I think PT 7.3.21 is an RC main point question about Native American land use policy, so one of us is in the wrong place! Can't speak to that specifically then, but generally, you should give JY's reasoning great deference. That's not to say that th…
When I first started writing out explanations, I cannot even begin to count how many times I said, "Oh, okay I get it," and then went to write it out and had no idea whatsoever what to write.
Write everything.

Now that I think about it, it was actually your podcast that inspired me to join 7Sage in the first place
Glad I was able to help get you here!

If you're just getting through CC, I would recommend you not worry too much about timing at first, and focus more on reading properly: asking the right questions while you read, reading for reasoning structure and purpose, anti…
I dunno, I think he pretty much nailed it with the first one. I never understood why it ever continued past that in the first place. (kidding, of course, haha.)
I sometimes struggle with 3-star questions and often breeze through 5-star curve breakers. For the purposes of BR, “easy” is definitely a subjective standard, and I should BR the subjectively difficult 3-star and exclude the easy 5-star. Subjectivel…
Congratulations! Whether you go to Harvard or opt for the Hamilton, you’re going to do great in law school. You’re incredibly bright and highly disciplined, and that’s a combination that will fuel success at whatever endeavor you undertake. Really p…
Yeah, delaying a test stings, but not as much as the alternative. Sounds like you’ve got a good plan for LG. For LR, what is the one redo method? Not familiar with that, at least not by that name.
One really important aspect of your work for LR and…

Anything else I should consider? Thanks!
I think you mostly have a good plan. A couple additions.
The errors in LR will improve over time if you’re studying them. Don’t write them off as just careless re…
If you’re aiming for -0/-1 with consistency, you need to do a lot more. Read the thread by Pacifico titled “Logic Games Attack Strategy” for a good methodology. As a start, do all games from 1-35. From there, see how you’re doing and reevaluate for …
@dlstudy1 said:
If I do one timed LR section, I usually take a 30 minute break or so for a snack then do the BR.
Today I took an hour break after I finished the exam before I blind reviewed.
Would you suggest more time between?
Yea…

I haven't looked closely at the analytics yet because my brain is fried (just finished the exam).
Having the numbers after just finishing the exam kinda made it sound like you hadn’t, but I see now where you mentioned your BR…
Hey, congrats on the +12! That’s an enormous jump and you should be really encouraged. That said, April is way too soon if you’re prioritizing your score over test date. If your BR were where it needed to be, maybe. But a +2 BR means you’ve got a lo…
Confidence drills sound productive, so for sure do that. Question type drills seem to be missing the point. Were any of your errors a result of misunderstanding the question? Doesn’t sound like it.
Why did you miss the questions you missed? Details…
I just watched a Khan LG explanation on a whim and it was so bad. It's like they got a kindergarten teacher and told them to replicate JY's videos for preschoolers and to do a shitty job even at that.
20 points is an enormous increase, and you’re talking about a very short timeframe. I don’t think 158 is realistic, but if you study all the right things correctly, effectively, and diligently, a 150 is not inconceivable. Point increases become more…
The course syllabus is deliberately structured so that the lessons are in the order in which you should study them. The study schedule should follow the same ordering, but if there are any discrepancies, defer to the syllabus.
Good luck, and welcom…
