I've benefitted a lot just from broad exposure to different subject matters. If you know what you're reading, there's just an immediate sense of orientation that is really nice. Audiobooks are great for "reading" on the road. I've "read" volumes and…

One of my roommates did this to me all the time, but he couldn't really explain anything or apply the lessons of one question to the next. It's like learning to play the piano versus being able to play one thing that you memorized one time. One is a…

First off, nice job! going from the 140's to the 160's is astronomical! That tells me you're plenty sharp and a highly disciplined student, and that's the main thing really. You can do this! What are you BRing? You really want this to be in the uppe…

The city is big for me: livability and vibe/culture. I like a place with lots of local character, things that distinguish it from the broader homogeneity. I define livability as the ability to experience that. Can I actually afford to live there or …

For test day nerves, I planned for them and had specific strategies to know exactly how I was going to deal with them. I could never get rid of them, so I had to learn to manage them. My Sept 2016 take was actually pretty epic in that regard. It was…

Congrats and welcome! Love the spirit! I had a similar experience: Underperformed after studying with Powerscore, then came to 7Sage and learned how to do it right. If I can do it, you can do it. Work hard and efficiently and you’ll be there before …

You have a really incredible diagnostic. There's no reason, given time, that you shouldn't be in the high 170's/180 range. So the question you're asking really is can you do it in three months. Typically, no. But typically people don't have cold dia…

All courses will include the entire core curriculum, so that's the main thing. The Starter is just as comprehensive as far as that goes and is a great value if money is tight. The real difference is in the drills and duration. Higher level packages …

I agree with everyone above that PTs is not the way to go at this point. PTs feel faster because they return "results" in the form of test scores, but they're really a very poor substitute for targeted studying. They're an extremely blunt study tool…

@Mooseontheloose said: Wow! are you an avid reader? otherwise the chances of something like that are close to nothing. I agree with your last sentence. I am an avid and cross discipline reader, yes, haha, but these two books would have been …

@lsatplaylist said: Just had to mention I hear there's a webinar on LG drilling and foolproofing next week and I bet it'll be helpful for review exercises in general. Correct! Announcing soon!

Hey, that’s a really great question, and I’m glad that you’re looking to go deeper to get more out of your PTs! So, what really matters is not necessarily what you miss so much as why you missed what you did. So with the NA question, why didn’t you …
-
That’s a good question. I know this doesn’t give me trouble, but it’s hard to say why not, lol. Is there a specific example you have in mind? Find me something to work through and I’ll see what happens and get back to you!

I eliminate redundancies in my representation by scratching them off completely. I don't want any extraneous information lying around to distract me. So if I write out a rule in my rule list and later decide it’s better represented through a split, …

@"surfy surf" said: Just curious, what were the books? I wonder if there’s an RC book list out there somewhere Cosmos by Carl Sagan and Culture and Imperialism by Edward Said. Both excellent reads. At the end of each test there’s something…
-
Sure. There are two RC passages drawn from books I’ve actaually read. I knocked those out -0 really fast which further strengthened those sections by giving me more time and confidence on the remaining passages. LR is highly dynamic and tests a lot …

Yep, it’s all printable! Choose the material you want to drill and it’ll format it all into a nice tidy set that you can print out and do for real! Phenomenal feature.
-
Yeah, the higher 7Sage packs are probably the best value on this. If Cambridge is going to cost $1K, why not just buy Ultimate+ at that point. It comes with every PT ever published, and you can organize all of that into any kind of drill packs you c…

Different questions require different levels of understanding. Maybe the mosts conspicuous example of this is a main conclusion question. Why in the world would you exert any more energy on that than just reading the stimulus to find the conclusion?…

The problem is that “some” can include “all.” True statement: Some cats are mammals. This does not imply that not all cats are. In more formal logic that the LSAT is not concerned with, some can be translated to “there exists. . .” There exists a ca…

I think that, with a few tweaks, this is a solid approach. Here's my notes on the plan: Yes to RC 1 - 36. Absolutely. With the major exception of the introduction of the Comparative Passage at PT 52, I think RC has changed the least of any other s…

Haha, yeah that’s embarrassing. I did something similar back in undergrad only I didn’t catch it! I’m sure it’ll be fine. They process too many apps to remember this when they get to it. If your file is right, I’d say you’re good.

Two PTs a week was a lot for me. Even when my timed average was deep into the 170’s, two was as aggressive as I could pace things. Early on, my PTs exposed so many weaknesses that I just didn’t have time to address everything with only three or four…

Analogy: Life is like a box of chocolates. Example: You never know what you're going to get in life. Forrest, for example, didn't know he was going to become the captain of a shrimp boat.

For me, "few" is ultimately indeterminate. It can be subjective, meaning different things to different people in different contexts. Unlike something like "most" which you can actually nail down (50% + 1), it just doesn't have a strict logical inter…

You want to do a little bit as you go. Foolproof each game type until you feel comfortable with it before moving forward in the curriculum. The provided drills should be enough. From there, I’d recommend foolproofing some full sections before you st…

For me, the foundation of RC strategy is the distribution of time between the passage and the questions. If you can read and retain a passage in 2 minutes, your strategy will be very different from someone who takes 4 minutes to get through the pass…
