Ok, this is entirely inappropriate, obviously. Discussion closed.

@LivePumpkin said: @"Cant Get Right" I think that is a good approach. I am reading in a lot of posts (including yours) about fundamentals. I’m sorry if this is redundant but could you explain a bit more? In particular, about your comments on w…

@SiliconJedi said: @"Cant Get Right" - Sage Josh? Thanks so much for your detailed explanation. I have indeed watched your webinar; in fact, I've returned to parts of it several times over the past few weeks. I think I'll try alternating …

The rules governing score release dates are a very closely guarded secret held by The LSAC Board of Trustees, pictured below. There's no way to know what they might do until they've done it. https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/AAEAAQAAAAAAAASRAAAAJGZhZ…

Untimed work is really great for learning the fundamentals. Once you've got each section where you need to be, it's time to work on strategy. LSAT time management is a very specific skill. It's dependent on, but very different from, the fundamentals…

Hmm. I can think of a lot of individual questions--Han Purple, Dioxin, etc--but no idea where they came from.

I don't even like negation on NA questions, lol. It's an abstraction that only changes one task to another. In fact, it adds the additional task of negating, which I'm personally much more likely to screw up than just picking what's necessary. I thi…

Strengthen and Weaken questions require a flawed argument. A valid argument is perfect and can neither be strengthened nor weakened without contradicting a premise. So think of them kind of like applied flaw questions. Without seeing the flaw, you'r…

@"surfy surf" said: @"Cant Get Right" thanks for the video. It's funny bc I posted on here a few months back asking if I should take a creative writing class to get an idea of how to write about myself and everyone was like no it won't help. I…

Nice! Congrats everyone. Thanks for helping make 7Sage such a wonderful and supportive place. I don't know of anywhere else quite like it on the internet.

Excellent. I wish education, more broadly, would focus more on this. Knowing how and why to learn: That's what I call educated.

Love Crash Course, thanks for sharing, this is really insightful! Wish I'd had this when I first started studying for LSAT. I think a lot of my success was due to piecing this together on my own. If I'd fully embraced all this from the beginning, I'…

Just remember that you're not writing a philosophy paper, you're writing a narrative. Your PS should tell a story with you as the protagonist. Here's KV with a few narrative structures that just can't go wrong: Mine was a man in hole story and wo…

I really like thinking in terms of probability like that. There will be many questions on the test that even the highest scorers aren't 100% on. It's not about trying to work towards 100%, and I think the 100% mentality is one of the biggest element…

I've worked with a lot of students and I can always tell who's checked their answers and who hasn't. People who've checked their answers are engaged in an entirely different task from those who haven't. Students who've checked their answers try to j…

From the fact you're referring to "PT cycles," I'm assuming you've watched my webinar. That lays out most of my opinions on the matter, and for what it's worth I think you've put together a really good schedule. For which PTs to take, there's two sc…

@tuc28290 , hey happy to explain further. I typically watch footage three times. The first time, I'm just doing it with a stopwatch and a spreadsheet, recording times for individual questions, passage reads, and game setups. The completed spreadshe…

@LetsHigh5 said: I also don't want to skip a difficult stimulus, only to come back to it later on and have trouble remembering all of the key components of the question again, rather than just answering when they are fresh in my mind. So, he…

Not at all!

It occupies an interesting space within the realm of PS topics. I suspect that for almost anyone with a child, that child is likely the most meaningful part and defining characteristic of their life. I've learned from my nephew that they frequently …

@sillllyxo said: so no black coffee for you then? I'm drinking an organic french roast with a splash of soy milk right now haha Lol. No way. If it's not at least 80% milk and sugar with a fancy name that arbitrarily ends with a "-ccino," th…

I had a fairly large jump, and I just looked at the specific prompts with the understanding that admissions don't want to read extra material unless it really is necessary for full understanding of a candidacy. A lot of it just depends on how big th…

PS's aren't so formal as to need to avoid contractions. Then again, I'm at a complete loss as to when and why they're ever considered improper in the first place, lol. For what it's worth, I used them freely in my own admissions essays and everythin…

@uhinberg said: Sounds like an awesome webinar subject! Haha, I wonder if JY would approve that. An argument could definitely be made that it's relevant to studying for the LSAT. Without good coffee, I'd've only scored a 125. @LSATcantwi…

Slow down on reading the stimulus. Don't rush it, just read at a natural, relaxed pace. Speed comes from acting decisively once you hit the ACs with a solid and complete understanding of the stimulus, and from moving on quickly when you're in danger…

@mzoodle said: So I should buy every single PT, from LSAC? If you want all the games, you're going to have to either steal it or buy it. It's all copyrighted, so LSAC is going to get paid one way or the other.

Personally, I'd say it really just depends. If you've got strong numbers for Stanford, I wouldn't take any risks. If it's a crazy reach, I'd gamble with something a little crazy. @Freddy_D said: Like the Genie told Aladdin, "Be yourself" (wit…
