I'm very cautious about responding with an absolute no to much of anything, but this is about as close to it as it gets. Technically, the answer is "of course it's possible," but the nature of possibility is somewhat generous. Unfortunately, you mis…

I definitely spend ten minutes on some passages. If it's a harder passage with tons of questions, I think it's very often necessary. But the reverse must also be true: if it's an easier passage with only a few questions, you've got to be able to bal…

What's NNT? The argument is invalid. I like the list method to show why. AB AB AB _B _B _B _BC _BC _BC _BC _BC _BC _BC _BC A lot of different arguments are invalid for this same reason. By expanding the quantity of the middle term, y…

This is a really interesting question. Both the sufficient and necessary conditions are themselves conditional statements, and that unique structure is at the core of your question. So here's how this should be diagrammed: (Understanding ---> D…

The probability is not 0, but it is very, very low. You'll likely make a bit of quick progress at first, but once you start hitting the mid 160's range, that pretty universally grinds to a crawl. That said, very impressive diagnostic--way higher tha…

I guess the Goosebump series was what got reading going for me actually. A friend gave me Monster Blood I & II for my birthday which I somehow remember was at a bowling alley that year, lol. I know, I know, Monster Blood I and II were numbers 3 …

Eh, nailing it on a PT was a lot funner. 7Sage pops up this crazy video and it’s very exciting. You think LSAC does that? No way.

I know I'm late to the party on this--things've been crazy--but really, really happy to see this one pop up. I always thought Nwestern would actually be a really great fit for you Glen, and I can't think of anyone who deserves it more. You're going …

That’s way too many tests. It can definitely be done, it just shouldn’t be done. You’ve got to take some time after each one not only to BR it but to reflect on what went wrong and how you can improve it. At that rate, you’re just going to hit an ea…

@akistotle said: Watching explanation videos can raise your BR scores but I think you need to implement some strategies under the timed conditions. Yeah, this is pretty much it. You're probably just not getting good returns on your time. Bet…

19.4.11 is another one that immediately comes to mind. This is literally everywhere, so just keep an eye out and you'll find tons of them. Its ubiquity makes it a really promising area to pursue. If you were missing these questions before, correctin…

While it's nice to know that your future is forever changed with new possibilities that you could only ever dream of before, it really is all about the Sage badge isn't it!? If it were a real, physical badge, it'd have a really nice weight to it. Li…

Congrats Sagar, and of course I remember you! So glad everything came together. It’s all about managing the time well!

I usually have about ten minutes at the end of LR and LG. In RC, I've usually got three to four and happy to have it. I'm a slow reader and I don't fight it. I think reading at a comfortable, natural pace is vital. That amount of time is enough to g…

Go over tricky questions, but don't start with the really tricky ones though. I single circle questions that I know are within my range but that just aren't clicking, and I double circle the ones that I recognize as really killer. The thing about th…

I recently finished Uncertainty by David Lindley. It covers a ton of 20th century science history. It’s approachable too, goes into the controversies and rivalries among the different scientists and theories. It mostly focuses on the science that le…

We all have those stories that are "our stories." They're the ones that we can tell our friends over beer for the millionth time without them getting old, the ones we hope make us sound interesting on first dates, the ones that we just love to tell.…

@"Logic Gainz" said: I get caught up on difficult questions and it's still hard to skip them, but I do eventually. At a glance, this looks like your timing issue right here. Moving on "eventually" just means that you're really not moving on.…

Hey, this is a really great question, and the skills you've cited are absolutely essential to success in RC. It's widely regarded as a section that is enormously different to improve, but I've never found that barrier to be too thick. I think it's t…

This isn’t at all uncommon. Rushing is the biggest problem. You need to be managing time, not racing against it. You need to move with a sense of urgency, but you need to read at a comfortable pace. Even a slight hit to your reading comprehension le…

With only two months, I actually don't think you could really even take advantage of the Starter. I don't think it's enough time to break 170 in the overwhelming number of cases, and it's actually far more likely to hurt you. Relearning the fundamen…

Ok, I actually kinda like "Just Admit It" lol. Since it's out of the running though, I submit for your consideration: Apply Yourself, Applying Yourself to Law School, or some other play on the phrase Admissions Blog - 7Sage 7Blog and Mission Ad…

@LCMama2017 said: @"Cant Get Right" said: Yeah, laser printer. I got a Brother printer on Amazon for $100. Each $50 toner cartridge prints about 2,500 pages. A whole PT takes a couple of minutes max and it prints it front and back.…

Hey, and welcome! So to get a better sense of things, I think it would be good to know your target and average BR scores. If you're aiming for mid 150's with a 170 BR, then yeah, a couple PT's a week with BR is likely fine. If you're aiming for 170…

@"David Bennett" said: @"Cant Get Right" are there video explanations to all of PTs 1-35? For LG and RC, yes. For LR, there are only explanations for 17 and up. I think PT's 1 to 16 will come eventually, but there's a lot of really weird stu…

Yes! That’s an excellent point @jkjohnson1991 . Once you’re comfortable with a concept, save the remaining problem sets! Especially early on in your PTing, you’ll likely be returning to the CC fairly frequently. When you do, they’ll be good to have!
