I love this question and the answer is “all of the above.” Question type is the first pattern most people learn. The interaction between the AC’s and the stimulus is a little different for each type which is vitally important, and there are trends …

I guess his commentary on RC might be what you’d expect after a single afternoon of studying with a noodle. His arguments in episode 2 fail because he completely mischaracterizes the exam. If reading without understanding were the skill being teste…

@firewaterlsat said: I’ve watched the LR CC but have only done a handful of the drills. This is the operative line in all of this to me. The CC can't be watched to any effect. JY's good, but no one is that good. Watching is passive, and pass…

Looks like episode 2 is out!

Outstanding, congrats!

Nice, that’s going to open a lot of doors to great law schools. Let us know where you end up!

Congrats @"Habeas Porpoise" ! It kind of goes without saying with a score at that level, but you earned it! It’s always so great to see all the hard work paying off!

Congratulations and welcome to the Sage club!

I think that’s fine, just don’t go straight into explanations. Always study it first, find the answer yourself, identify the underlying issue. The explanations should be more like comparing notes with JY—a dialogue not a lecture.

Oh man, from just the title I knew this was going to be great. I've read a few of his books and while I think he poses meaningful questions and engages in some interesting discussions, his conclusions are always correlation/causation flaws based on …

Yeah, I think that's a really good plan. Doing every second or third test gets you progressing through the tests in sequence, but also reserves some back. How many "rounds" do you want through the tests? Every other test will give you two, every thi…

Where are you currently scoring? A lot of what is typical for people scoring in these upper ranges should not be typical for people at most score ranges. A typical BR takes me about an hour, but BR is a way different process for me than it likely sh…

This is something I've thought a lot about, but haven't been able to come up with anything that feels particularly effective. For complex conditional relationships, I've tinkered with yellow for sufficient and orange for necessary, but that hasn't b…

@standardizedcanbelearned said: @"Cant Get Right" that's a great point, thanks for that. It's almost as if you have to identify that initial problem in your reasoning, and then break it over and over again so that you can easily identify it on…

Make sure that you're really studying your mistakes. It's not enough just to finally arrive at the correct reasoning, you also have to identify how you went wrong in the first place. This may very well be the one thing that most distinguishes high s…

@PrettyViktorious170 Have you been using Powerscore? Many LSAT prep companies are guilty of over-classification--Powerscore is just the most notorious in my mind--and it really isn't at all necessary to the extent that they go into. I was always mo…

Yes.

We actually aren't 100% positive how caffeine works, but best indications point to the blocking of adenosine as the most likely mechanism. Adenosine is basically a waste product of biological energy production. It builds up while we're awake, makes …

Hi, Upper 140's range diagnostic to 176 here. Going to lay some tough love on you. You don't get to say both @empocrates said: didn't really study much just been studying-ish I haven't been studying the right way or putting dedicated…

What's your BR score? Right out of the CC--even if you've taken your time to really do it right--I wouldn't normally expect to see much more than what you're showing. It's your BR that's really the more important number right now. If that's solidly …

Yep. Not never = Sometimes

It sounds like you have no idea what the underlying cause is. If you can't diagnose the issue any better, I do think you're just going to have to take a broad spectrum approach, and I do think FPing is the best way to do that. There is almost certai…

Nice! You're in the right place!

Definitely not necessary, but the closer you can approximate test day the better. I wouldn't break the bank if it's not in the budget, but if you can easily afford one it would be nice to have.

@"Pride Only Hurts" said: Really curious about what question you’re referring to. I’ve also come across questions like this. Last time this happened it was a 3 star question! So frustrating. Yeah, I have a few of these. For 78.1.6 and 81.2.…

Agree with @BinghamtonDave . Learning by question type was a few months. Realizing that learning question types was only the tip of the iceberg was another six months. Mastering everything under the surface is still ongoing. With a 176 official scor…

Every individual group will work a little differently. Typically though, study groups will coordinate their PT schedules so that everyone is taking the same PT's and then BR together. I also really liked my study group just for the social aspect of …

Absolutely. With patient, disciplined, and effective study habits, 160 is very reasonable.
