Not going to lie @nanchito, I feel absolutely amazing right now. I'm allowing it for today only, haha. I've been at this for a long, long time and I've learned the secret to the LSAT. These PT/BR numbers do not reflect my intelligence at all, but I …

@danielznelson I think you’re only supposed to do the ones you circle, so that’s all I did. Full disclosure though, I did have two confidence errors, but it didn’t bump my score down from 180. I checked my confidence errors and they were really d…

Just had to revive this most excellent thread. Just got in my Palomino Blackwing long point sharpener and it’s pretty rad. Much easier to use than my previous sharpener- the K-Bar BK9. Also, I’m not entirely sure the BK9 would be allowed on test d…

@cocozhang9950 said: I'm really new here. Just make sure you’ve worked through the curriculum before you burn any PTs!

@"Jeong P." Here’s a couple threads on PTs. 38-51 are out there, they are just super expensive. Unfortunately, there’s no way to legally obtain pdfs anymore or that would be your best bet. The second link is to a thread discussing that and is a…

@skaplan9190 Happy to report that I hit my target score with a 180 BR. Looks like it’s time to fool proof some games! I’d already drank heavily from the 7Sage cool aid, but I think I’d like some more please.
-
So just took my first post curriculum PT. It is literally killing me to not check my score. And by literally, I mean metaphorically. I’m guessing a range of -9 to -16, but what I’m really concerned with at this point is a 180 BR. Lots of room to…

I’m going to go with Rudy just because this is the first time any validation has ever been given to my English major, haha. Now if I could only find some use for Latin!

Hey @180pronto, welcome aboard. A BR is kind of like an untimed test, but there are a lot of really important distinctions. Go review the BR lessons in the curriculum, JY explains it far better than I could.
-
Well, that’s what I’d call a thorough response. Thanks guys!

@"Nicole Hopkins" said: Sounds good, guys @DumbHollywoodActor and/or I can help with administration once you get closer to start. So obviously we’re going to take these guys up on this right? The more mentors and sages and tutors involved the be…

Well, you should definitely not bubble question by question. Do all the questions in a spread and then bubble everything together before turning the page. You shouldn’t have people near you, so hopefully you can use the desk next to you in additio…

Yeah, if you’re mostly misreading and making careless mistakes, sounds like burnout to me. You got the skills, you just need to decompress. I played poker professionally for a little while and I noticed that I was always really, really sharp after…

I've been there. Work is exhausting and then there's just nothing left in the tank. What I started doing is manipulating my sleep schedule so that I could study before work instead of after. Instead of working then studying then sleeping, I'd study …

I've heard lots of people say taking time away is helpful and that often there's a bump when returning. Maybe try taking two weeks off and don't even let yourself near your LSAT stuff. Read for pleasure. Drink some wine.

@jimenezja.jj why not push back until September with us? It'd be a shame to come so far and then not get all your PT/BRs in. You'll miss out on a lot of experience if you go with June.

“Any” is inclusive so that anything which possesses those properties is necessarily a poem. I’m not sure “a” implies that. It may reverse the necessary/sufficient relationship, but I think this may get into some existential translating. In formal…

You’re a beast @runiggyrun.
-
Yeah @cmelman95 June is definitely nice for the time. I sync my schedule months in advance. Same sleep schedule, same breakfast, same everything to make sure I'm physically and mentally aligned optimally for test day. 6 am every day gets old. But it…
-
First, if you're aiming for 170+, I just don't see June happening. Postpone until September at the very least. For logic games, you need to master every game. It's actually good that you're struggling there because of all the sections, the language…
-
I always timed my PTs to align with what my actual test time was going to be. So I’d finish up around lunch time and usually run grab some take out and watch some Futurama while I ate. A couple hours, then I’d get back on it.
-
Well said. So glad you've arrived at this @skaplan9190. Despite the same advice in the forum that gets repeated over and over again, I think this is something everyone has to realize for themselves. It seems like you've had a sincere apostrophe, and…

@Fish0701 In the first pair, hypothesizing and demonstrating are way different. A hypothesis is essentially just an educated guess. So, I hypothesize that kittens are fluffy. I don't know, but I think that is the case. So how do I find out for sure…

@twssmith Ohhh, to find a silver bullet to give a darn about some of the passages So on the real thing, they site their RC sources at the back of the test. You can see the citations when you initially open your test packet to your scantron sheet t…

Can't wait!

Have you looked at the study buddies feature? It will show you all the other 7sagers in your area who are looking for study partners.

What @runiggyrun said. Annotating can definitely cause you to lose sight of the forest. Play around with different strategies on that. Also, go back and look at the sections you've taken. If you're getting all the tree questions and missing all th…
-
I'm guessing your reading issue is a problem of processing and retention. That's a really broad, macro diagnostic, but I think it's just what people struggle with on RC. It's just a lot of information and to succeed on RC you've got to be able to pr…

Reading is tough to improve on. LR and Games have skills you can really work to acquire, but reading skills are a much slower process of accumulation. My undergrad is in English lit, so that section comes very naturally for me, and it's probably the…
