I’m going to call an RC passage about CRISPR. It’s overdue. 10 flaw questions. I want to predict something interesting about LG, but just not feeling it. Maybe a basic pattern game, but nothing too weird.
-
A part of the solution has to be spending less time on the questions. Why do you think you are taking so long on the questions?
-
For many students, the mental game gets thrown off the closer and closer test day comes. Make sure you aren't responding to increasing pressure through increasing deviations from your strategies. Follow the plan, even if it feels uncomfortable; if t…

You kids these days are so spoiled.

Not sure I have advice on how to get these right necessarily, but I definitely have advice on how to handle these questions better: be comfortable with missing them. The much more serious error here is not in missing the question but in over-investi…

The answers are not unexplainable, haha, but they do hinge on sometimes shockingly subtle levels of detail. You've got to find the specific word/s that the AC hinges on and really think about it. What is the difference between an "example" and a "de…

I finish my LR's with about 10 minutes left, but in RC I'm always happy if I've got 2 - 3 to spare. It's a lot harder to do in RC. Review your footage for specific opportunities to bank a little away. You're doing fine, so you don't need to do anyth…

I had this problem and it was my desk and chair. I was positioned just a little too high up above the surface of the desk which forced me to bend forward/down just a bit more than was natural which put constant strain on the muscles holding my head…

Hit it or quit it; the worst thing you can do (at this point in your prep) is to work through it meticulously, carefully piecing things together. You're probably going to miss it anyway, so is that really a good investment of time? Absolutely not. M…

On it.

I'm trying to think of something a little more interesting/insightful to say other than 7Sage. It's really hard to recommend much else. I've heard okay things about the LSAT Trainer. A few resources I came across that I'd definitely be sure to stay …

Very few people make forty point improvements at all. I would venture to say that no one has ever and will never make a forty point improvement with only a few months of studying. Maybe that's a bold claim, but being among the small number of indivi…

@lsat2018 said: I am aiming for a 160. From a 159? A 140? What's the gap you're needing to close?
-
Yeah, I wasn't sure how to handle some of that stuff. I've worked for over 20 years since I was in high school. I ended up including most of it though because I thought showing work experience through college would look good.

Hey what's your target score? Testing after only a couple months will sound pretty hopeless to many 7Sagers who study for a year or more, but if your goals are relatively modest then you can make small improvements in small amount of time. So your c…

@tekken1225 said: Hey @"Cant Get Right" why do you say Powerscore LG methods are the worst? I've heard some good things about the LG Bible, and the reviews online are all good. I was thinking of buying the book for some additional strateg…

@sc1293 said: Any suggestions on how to deal with timing? First of all, please do not use Powerscore methodologies for LG. It's by far the worst I've come across and I've seen it all. You've got 7Sage, which is far and away the best, so I'd …

Like most things, I think Winston Churchill said it best: “What is the use of living, if it be not to strive for noble causes and to make this muddled world a better place for those who will live in it after we are gone? How else can we put oursel…

@akeegs92 said: @"Cant Get Right" Thank you for the suggestion! Did you supplement it with the memory method too or is it kind of a natural memory method in itself? I think it functions to calibrate MM. It's the framework for the method more…

@Ohnoeshalpme said: There is no general prescription for LSAT prep. You have to focus on your strengths and weaknesses when preparing a study schedule. What sections are you strong in? Where are you the weakest? What problems within sections h…

If you're looking to gain something in the neighborhood of 4 points, I think developing a timing strategy that allows you to finish the section is probably the way to go. You may miss a few questions you wouldn't have otherwise, but you will likely …

This is really common actually. By the time you're good enough to reach the mid 160's, most people have long outgrown question type drills. The results from those follow up drills seem like solid confirmation that this applies to you. Your studies n…

I've only recently opened up about this, but on my Sept 2016 test, I felt so much pressure and anxiety that I was physically ill afterwards. It started creeping up in my stomach right as the writing sample began. I spent the entire rest of the day a…

Why, specifically, do you struggle with these? If you knew the answer to that, you would likely not be struggling, lol. That's kind of obvious, but it also gives you a path forward. Answer that question and you can likely close that gap. One thing …

@mizbanis said: pushes you to do a practice test every week despite just starting out. Wow, that's really bad.
-
One trend I've noticed is that people often over-mechanize the procedure. The RC strategies are really important, but they are a guide to the reading, not the reading itself. They should be directing your attention to critical elements of the passag…

I did what you're talking about, kinda a fool proofing for RC. It helped a lot, so I'd definitely recommend it. And drill full sections!
