Games don’t happen in the questions. Your success or failure will be determined in the setup. Adjust your understanding of LG to that, and adapt your approach accordingly. @Sami and I will be discussing a lot of things related to this at her free tu…
I really hope this was prompted by someone submitting a PS beginning with a modification on a famous opening line.
Call me Joshua.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in the possession of a good fortune must be in want …

I had a somewhat different take. Even if Susan did know the current time, she doesn’t necessarily know that the store is open. She may believe that it is open, but as you pointed out earlier, knowledge is different than belie…
@DanielMacTavish said:
Just to comment on the "Susan knows the store closes at 8pm.
It’s only 6:30pm.
Therefore, Susan knows the store is still open."
I just want to make sure I'm making the right criticism of the conclusion provide…
These are going to be phenomenal. I met @Sami in my study group back when I was still working my way up and when she was just starting at 7Sage. The first session she joined, I remember telling her not to take any more PT’s because she wasn’t ready …
Off the top of my head, I know two people with sub 3.0 GPAs at T14. Being a splitter sucks. Our results are unpredictable and often feel somehow arbitrary. But if you earn an above median LSAT and craft a strong app, you’ll be in the running.
I think the problem is not with your break but with your previous study habits. If you don’t study seriously, you won’t learn in a meaningful way. Now that you’re back and ready to study seriously, just take this as a cheap lesson. You get out what …
I think David @"Accounts Playable" is probably the model for this. You'll probably notice his explanations throughout the CC and comments sections everywhere. What I learned from David is that writing out reports on your work involves a much higher …
I definitely agree that PT's are not the right approach at this point. I think @FindingSage 's piano metaphor is really spot on. Right now, you need to be focused on learning your Major scales. This is probably a frustrating thing to hear, but anoth…
Diagnostic: didn’t take one, but first PT after three months of studying: 152
Goal score: 170
Study duration: 1.5 years for official 170. A little longer for official 176.
PT’s taken: all, many multiple times.
Another thing I'd add to this is to just, in general, be wary of accumulating tons of different resources. A lot of people end up with every LSAT book ever published on their shelf and every class and curriculum available under their belts without e…
Yeah, there's nothing like the real thing.
I do think Economist does a good job of conforming to the average RC passage reading level. It's very consistent though, which the LSAT, of course, is not. I'd recommend grabbing some harder scholarly nonf…
In review, you should be pushing beyond getting to an answer. Getting the answer isn't the goal. Complete understanding is the goal, and there is a huge gulf between the answer and complete understanding. Here's my outline for my written BR reports:…
You'll have scratch paper you can use for writing notes if needed.
For highlighting, I use it in a way that is a bit counterintuitive to many people at first. Instead of highlighting the big important stuff, I highlight the little nit-picky things.…
It sounds like your study strategies are passive rather than active. If you're studying this by watching explanations, you definitely won't be seeing meaningful improvement. You've got to be more active and put yourself more in the thick of it. Don'…
That's an excellent question. I know there was a hurricane a few years back and they ended up cancelling the test after it was already in progress when conditions became too bad. I want to say they actually rescheduled the test for later, but maybe …
Your current study method almost certainly is wrong. It almost always is in the mid 160’s, haha.
Before I can say much, I’d need to know where you’re BRing.
What I can say with very high confidence is that sacrificing whole passages and question t…
I agree that the CC needs to be an important part of what you do here. Until you get that BR up on your LR, you’re going to be pretty much stuck where you are. RC also provides a lot of opportunity to grow. I’d aim to pick up about 5 points on each …
@MissChanandler said:
Don't start PTing until after you're completely finished with the CC, but after that, one PT per week is a pretty good pace. The PT per week helps you see where you are, what your weaknesses and strengths are, and how to …
So I've actually got a lot to say about this, and I say the bulk of it in this webinar:
