@Victoria14 said: Don't worry about making the time, just focus on accuracy. Also learn to leave confident questions quickly. You've definitely got to know exactly what the task is and have a strategy for accomplishing each one, but I think …

Yeah, I've run into this with students who've used Trainer as their primary material, and it's just not true. This strategy is great for getting you into the 160's, but generally very bad at getting you out. Don't think in terms of right/wrong, thin…

Yeah, NA is a really hard question type to try to prephrase on. Best to just gain a solid understanding of the argument and flaw, then go into the ACs with an open mind. They can come up with really obscure assumptions that we would never anticipate…

Stem for sure.

These are tough because they often pull the answer from a very high resolution level of detail. The whole point of RC is to give us more information than we can really retain in order to see how effectively we can handle volume. I use annotation to …

This happens a lot. You're trying to compensate for slower speed by moving faster. But speed doesn't come from moving fast, it comes from acting confidently and decisively in the answer choices. You know you're rushing the stimulus, and you know tha…

All of these meet online, so if you want to wake up a little early, you are welcome to join @iamarialcheng . I believe there's one coming up on Tuesday, so check out that thread to see what you need to do.

I usually don't try to anticipate anything. I focus on just understanding the argument, particularly what's wrong with it; if I can do that, I know the right answer when I see it whether I've predicted it to some degree or not. I feel like this also…

Just stay away from vague generalizations and abstractions. You don't want to give them a political/philosophical treatise. If you have a personal story of injustice that you've drawn broader lessons from, I think that would be great. You need to te…

No problem @tuc28290 , we're happy to help. For most games, JY will site a particular target time at the beginning of the video, and for all videos, it will be listed just below the video within the 7Sage window. Times range from 4 to 10 to 15 to as…

I suspect JY hovers in the high 170's. He's not in shape; he has no reason to be in peak condition. Given a month or two to get into form, he'd 180 it all day every day.

I've found that the foolproof method works by reinforcing the unique ways in which certain rules work in combination. For example, a block rule in a sequencing game typically exerts similar pressures on different boards, and we want to master this d…

I have a three tier system that works really well for me: A slash is 75% confidence: I'm almost positive I've got the answer, but would love the chance to confirm if there's time. A circle is 40% - 75% confidence: I understand the argument and jus…

For all my platitude fans out there: Show me a person who's never failed, and I'll show you a person who's never tried.

@TheMikey said: I wouldn't say "study" the words, but if I find a word I don't know the meaning to, then I google it :P Yeah, I think this is the main thing. Any time you come across a word you don't know, look it up. You should do this in g…

I definitely have an affinity for LR that I lack in LG. Team LR here, although it did not come naturally at all!

Hey, had a follow up question in PM that I thought was a really great question, so wanted to post my reply here as well for anyone who may be interested. From PT 33.1.22. https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-33-section-1-question-22/ A…

Hey Patrick, sorry if I came across as dismissive at all, I'm just saying that these types of claims shouldn't just be accepted but rather call for justification. Skepticism doesn't mean close-minded, it means needing convincing. Here, the simpler e…

Having some issues launching gotomeeting, but on the way!

I wouldn't call the LSAT an aptitude test. If the LSAT self-proclaims that it's meant to be a test of natural ability, then so be it, but I'd argue that they are woefully misguided. The LSAT tests way more than this and just about every other skill …

Now eat your brussel sprouts.

Academic letters are always better than pro letters. You should go with a pro letter only if you can't secure a good academic one. Admissions officers do understand that after being out of school for a certain amount of time, academic letters become…

Please don't do the midnight mash guys. "Train[ing] your semi-subconscious logical reasoning center of your brain" is the kind of statement that should really trigger your skepticism. From what I understand, our knowledge of the human brain is far f…

Very few schools, if any, read or care about the essay. As long as you don't totally phone it in, it won't matter. Just do your best to write a decent essay and don't worry about it.

That's correct @nishanik15 . We may not get to everything, but will try to hit the highlights from both.

We'll be glad to have y'all. @amedley88 , if you're a little late, it's no problem. Join when you can!

The fact that you do the same whether you're timed or untimed suggests something fundamental. Why are you missing the questions you're missing? What is the underlying thread to your errors? That's what you've got to figure out. I'd bet you're making…
