@"Cant Get Right" Thank you for your initial response.
You challenging the idea of RFS made me think of it in a more practical manner.
You helped me answer my own question, this is the better than any advice!

TBH, I've never found reading for structure to be even the slightest bit helpful. It's one of those things that sounds intuitive when people say to do it, but when I've pushed back on it, it's just never actually made sense or worked in practice.

This is a really good question. There is certainly a difference, and I think your follow up question does a lot to reveal the underlying misunderstanding. As stated, there is a difference between the author’s opinion and the main point. However, the…
I will kick things off on this one with a brief discussion/rant against pre-phrasing strategies. In short, pre-phrasing is bad and you shouldn't do it. To find out why--and what to do instead--come and see me this Thursday!
On my third official take, I had so much anxiety I was physically ill afterwards. I spent all day after the test on the bathroom floor--it felt like a really awful hangover minus the headache. So, I was feeling enormous pressure. In spite of such ex…
Just wanted to give an update for this week’s topic of discussion. I know “advanced LR” is a bit broad, so I thought it might be helpful to narrow now that I’ve developed more focus. I’m going to be putting specific emphasis on issues that have thei…
Language is so fascinating. This area of study is what I've most come to love about LSAT. Grammar includes two major sub-fields: syntax and morphology. Syntax is what we really need to study on the LSAT, and it's what we usually think about when we …

@"Cant Get Right" Umm. I did study. Four months. 20-25 hours each week.
I’m not suggesting you didn’t. I’m just saying that if you hadn’t (and believe it or not, some people don’t) it would represent immediate opportunity …
Not likely. The only scenario in which I can see that even being possible is if you literally didn't study at all, completely struck out with a -23 on LG, and then did a pretty even -4/-5 on both LR and RC. Even then, I'd put the odds of that kind o…

Nice! and with an honors- I'm impressed! was the main breakthrough figuring out the exams like you said?
That and being able to take the classes I wanted. First year, you don't have much say-- though at Northwestern you get t…

I just read your Law School Journal... loved it but ,ouch, that's really tough stuff! Looking forward! I have lots of questions
Yeah, I let that be pretty raw. I should go back and do an update on that now that I've graduate…
With score release being today, I thought I'd expand the scope of this discussion to include responding to low scores. I've definitely been there, and if I can overcome it so can you. I'll discuss what I did to improve after significantly underperfo…

@"Cant Get Right" I've studies using the course syllabus and I take notes one each section using my notes, my times are sometimes longer than what they should be and im scoring in the low 140s.
Are you BR’ing? If not, the…
Hard to say. I can kinda speak to the student culture, but I’d be surprised if that translated to the admit office. Generally, I think anything that reflects real diversity would be welcome in the admit office.
As far as the student culture: Mostly…
The better inquiry here is just, “what’s going on with this question?” The fact that you got it right is completely irrelevant if you don’t know how. If you take a blind guess without even reading the question, you’ve got a 20% chance to select the …
Hey @"qwertyuiop-1-1-1
The link will be posted while in session. I was called away and had to cut today’s session short, but keep an eye out for future sessions. Sorry I couldn’t be here for the whole time today!
If you're studying today, come join me in an hour and we can work together.
Also, I'm a little behind on my day, so before I dive into work, happy to lead off with some office hours while I coffee up. So bring questions, and I'm happy to help out t…
