It sounds like you’re half asking if it’s okay to skip and skim your way through the CC. If I’m not completely misinterpreting that, the answer—assuming you’re hoping for meaningful improvement—is absolutely not. The CC is what gives us the backgrou…

Yeah, this isn’t odd. The harder questions take higher level of ability, and you’re not yet fully developed. This is a consistent and even good trend. Ideally, you want your errors to correlate to difficulty rather something more like question type.…

High 140’s to 176. You can do it!

I'd just stick with 7Sage. Powerscore and 7Sage teach pretty different approaches, so much of what you would learn through Powerscore would need to be unlearned to transition to 7Sage methodologies. 7Sage is much better, so I say just start with it …

@"Seeking Perfection" said: I only used pencils when at all possible during my prep to get as used to writing small, neat, and quickly with them as possible before switching back to the world of pens after the test. Yeah, I did pencil only, …

@LastLSAT , completely agreed. He’s every bit on par with Dylan or Simon, yet remains relatively obscure. I bought a record player just so that I could listen to Old Quarter on vinyl. To really experience it right, crank the heat up and grab a few c…

@"gerth.brooks" Haha, I'd forgotten they do basically a whole season on that! They're actually referencing a real sub-genre which emerged in the 70's and 80's. Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings are probably the most iconic, and they formed the cente…

I go through phases where I either don't listen to much music at all, or else I spend days at a time obsessing over finding recent releases and obscure gems. The only thing I consistently dislike is Nashville Country. If it's contemporary Country, i…

Why do you think you’re scoring so substantially below your capabilities? You can’t answer your question until you’ve diagnosed the problem.
-
Yeah, as others have stated, nothing to worry about. I could talk a lot about how to transition from CC into taking PT’s. If that’s something you’d be interested in, check out my webinar on exactly that: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-c…

@"I wanna sleep" said: I am wondering how long it typically takes students scoring 165 and higher to answer these questions? I'm not sure the average would be useful here. It's probably a really wide range. A better question is how long shou…

One thing that kinda shocked me is how shaky my spelling is without the confidence that comes from autocorrect. Make sure to use good grammar, write around words you’re not sure of how to spell, pick a side, and use the available evidence to support…

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. After 7Sage, the best investment I ever made towards my LSA…

Got to take interest in the subject matter. Disinterest will always cause distraction. So just remember: No matter what the topic is, it is fascinating! To encourage this in myself, I’ve made it a habit to seek out further info. Between Wikipedia an…

Looks like your assessment is pretty good. I caution against taking before you absolutely know you're ready, but I formulated my thoughts on all this back before the policy change allowed for more than three takes, so I have a bit of an emotional ho…

I had a guy call me from Jamaica to tell me how to collect my lottery winnings, lol. It was a horrible scam and I told him. We actually laughed about it together; I think he knew on some level that it was comically bad. I know there’s a lot of extre…

There’s a lot of reasons people do poorly in RC, and each one of them has a unique solution. What’s going wrong exactly? That’s not always an easy question to answer, but it is vital to examine. Do you have any ideas on that?
-
Agreed with above posts. At a certain point, many people do need to actively practice this in order to break the habit of diagramming and force the transition, but looks like you’re about a week in, so I think that’s not something you’ll need to wor…

Nice! Okay, so I see rosemary and thyme. Is that basil peeking over from behind your laptop? And I believe those are Noricas? Excellent choice.
-
I love NA’s; the more the better. I get these correct and very quickly which is a big advantage to my pacing. Instead of NA questions, I like to think of them as conditional MBT questions. Necessity is actually a pretty difficult concept, but MBT is…

Just got my first, excellent!

@LastLSAT said: However, I think that since it sounds like @"surfy surf" is still trying to consistently break the 170 barrier, reinforcing a higher level of confidence may yet be appropriate. It certainly depends what level a student is at,…

Yeah, great explanations already. It's all about the size of the pie. http://i49.tinypic.com/157ystt.jpg

My spaces tend to cycle. I'll clean to meticulous perfection, and then I'll obsess over something for the next month, ignoring everything else. By the end, the place is a mess and I'll take a day or two to obsess over cleaning and return everything …

I'm going to push back on the emerging consensus here. Marking a question for BR means that you aren't sure you understood it. So if you are confident you confirmed/corrected it in your second round, how does this qualify for BR? @"surfy surf" s…
-
Yeah, ditto on way too many prep tests. It doesn't sound like you're actually studying to me. You're just taking PT's. Have you taken the time to analyze any of those PT's? You need to reflect on why you're losing points. You need to correct misunde…

Waitlists don't start moving until after seat deposits are due, usually first week of May. Perfectly normal to have not heard anything back at this point. Hang in there, things are about to start shaking up!

I always get bored anytime I try to meditate, but I think the concept is sound (and scientifically backed) and I have a number of things I incorporate into my life which I feel fill that role. Drinking coffee in the morning, I like to sit on my porc…

Congrats, that's a big milestone! We put so much pressure on ourselves for LG because this idea is circulated that you've got to go -0. Well, you don't! To build consistency, you need to be good at LG; you need to be capable of going -0. But there'…

Congrats @JustDoIt ! You've been an amazingly supportive member of this community and I know you'll be a huge asset at Chicago both as a student and just as a wonderful individual to have around. This is what it's all about, and I know you're going …
