Great walk through @Sami . So much of being successful in studying for the LSAT is in just not cutting corners, and this is a great step-by-step methodology to follow. The worst thing I tend to see is that most people simply don't BR. Sure, they do…

For situations like this, I think it would be safe to say that you want a representation other than a rule in your rule list. I hesitate to say make that a hard rule, but I can't think of any game with a bi-conditional rule where I find that the bes…

“Frustrating” is an excellent word for 1L classes. I can think of a few others I won’t share. Looking forward to watching this develop, and I’m jealous that I didn’t have this!

This does have some advantages. Ultimate+ will be meaningfully cheaper. That’s good. More people will be able to afford it. The month-to-month will provide a bridge option to many others. This seems like a very well balanced response to this terribl…

Wow, this is incredible and I am so proud of you! The Hamilton at Columbia (and the Ruby at Chicago) is the absolute pinnacle of legal education. It beats any other possible outcome. You’ve earned an opportunity giving you enormous empowerment. All …

Excellent, haha.

If you’re scoring high 160’s while rushing, then you should be cracking 170 easy. I’m really skeptical that you’re really rushing though. Rushing decreases scores, it just cannot be the explanation. That you do worse when you think you’re taking th…

@dcstyles51 said: It seems more like the opposite, like the lack of confidence and focus makes my score increase. I'll walk into a prep test days where I have a cold and have taken medicine that makes me head feel foggy and get a 168. Or I'll …

@dcstyles51 said: What's even stranger is on the days where I feel the least confident and feel unfocused during the test are the days I score the highest. Does anyone have any idea why this is or maybe has had experience with this themselves?…

Each take is precious: the once and future orthodoxy. Having one under your belt is not really as great a benefit as it’s made out to be. Before they opened the test up to unlimited takes, the overwhelming consensus from those that had been around …

I had to rely on retakes for much of my studies, and I developed a classification system to classify them based on two metrics. The first metric is how old the test is, the second is how recently I saw it. This created roughly four categories. In or…

For those of you that work, don't be discouraged. I was able to take time off work towards the end of my studies--and that time was gloriously productive--but before that, I gained approximately 15 points from my starting score while working at a re…

The thing that’s most concerning for me is that your BR score isn’t any higher than your timed score. Got to raise that up. Are you really doing BR thoroughly and following the correct methodology? Whatever the issue, take your next steps forward b…

I had to learn to plan ahead for the next day. I always had big plans for tomorrow, but the problem was that when tomorrow came, it had turned into today and my plans were still for tomorrow. That's probably unnecessarily complicated, but the people…

Don't wait to find the confidence to study. It will never come to you, you've got to go and get it. Confidence has to be earned. For me, it was a void that I needed to fill on a very deep level. Take it personally. Need it. If you can internalize it…

Here's a link with a listing of 7Sage approved tutors: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/4760/7sages-approved-tutors/p1 I think that's a pretty good place to start, but I may be biased, haha.

If y’all end up meeting anywhere near Streeterville or Uptown and would like any Sage input, I’d be happy to sit in on occasion. There’s got to be plenty of 7Sagers in Chicago, so hope you can get a good group together!

@standardizedcanbelearned said: Thank you so much. I listened to a podcast you did for the 7sage soundcloud and I really enjoyed it. This is great advice. Yeah - I literally just got finished a few minutes ago BRing PT 52 - scored 158 on the a…

That’s a really big discrepancy in your error rates. With LR at -2/-3 should be able to make significant gains on that. Can you elaborate on what’s going wrong? How does the section normally play out?
-
@carbs234 said: why are you missing the LR questions that you miss? how's your timing? This.

Yeah, I agree with everything Jonathan said and want to particularly reinforce number three. Top scorers tend to be much less concerned with right/wrong than are students still working their way up. It’s not that right/wrong doesn’t matter—in the en…

You get nothing for completing the curriculum—you have to actually learn it which will not happen by osmosis or mere exposure. Go slow, go in order, and don’t move on until you feel you’ve mastered the lesson. Study hard and translate things into yo…

I’ve got a different take. You actually need to get comfortable proceeding through the section with less certainty. Read slowly and carefully to make sure you understand, but once you’ve done that, get aggressive. Don’t articulate your reasoning if …

LG was the last thing to come together for me, about a year and a half after I first started studying. Had I done it right the first time through, it could’ve been much quicker. I always seem to have to make all possible mistakes before figuring out…

If a delay is going to place your application past the deadline, that seems problematic. An application turned in late in the cycle is different from one turned in past the deadline. Each school has their own policies in the admit office, so just ma…

If you want to run a three hour marathon, you don’t train by running for three hours and seeing how far you got. You run the full distance and then see how long it took. From there, you analyze what you did and look for opportunities to bring your n…

I wouldn’t say LR is any harder today than it ever was. I would say it is constantly evolving though. If all you’ve seen is 1-40, you might find the sudden transition to the contemporary test a bit of a shock. I’d recommend doing recent tests with t…

Man, sunny California sounds really nice right about now. I actually saw the temps in Chicago for today and thought to myself, “Oh nice, it’s getting up into the 30’s today!” I guess I've adapted well enough to have taken on that mindset, haha. Defi…

You seem to be setting yourself up for failure. Look at your December test: On what grounds did you expect to do any better? If there are no reasonable grounds on which to expect anything different (If you didn't put in much effort beforehand, there…
