Congrats Fred!

I don't think that's a huge discrepancy, but there are a lot of things I've noticed affecting my scores. My LSAT skills are pretty set, but sometimes my brain is ready to put those skills to work with more or less effectiveness. Whenever my sleep, d…

How's your BR scores?

@"lsat 1101" said: I used Powerscore too, before Manhattan! I really struggled to make progress with it. Did you see score improvements on LR with 7sage? Yep. I went from the -5 range to -1 with 7Sage.

@thisissparta said: Should we take a couple of PTs first and then, depending on our average PT score, determine where to go next or should we dive right in after our first PT post CC? Does the difference between the two approaches matter at a…

Congrats guys!

One great exercise with validity that you can do across the board is to take invalid arguments and correct them; make them valid. This is the task for SA questions, but we can do this with basically any invalid argument. We don't see a whole lot of…

The "LSAT" watches are all VERY poorly made. In any case, they're all officially banned now anyway: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/11920/lsac-chronograph-ban-this-includes-lsat-watches Keeping time just isn't such a big deal that…

I always seem to see a bump after a break actually. Can you elaborate on your study strategies more broadly? How do you study?
-
Economist is pretty good. If you like academic stuff, journals and essays are great. Don't force it though. For science, SA seems to be the go-to. Being well read is a definite advantage, but I think broad exposure is a bit of an unsung hero. I've f…

RC is tough and I think is the most diverse section, strategically. In LR and LG, there's about one or two right ways to do it. Everything else is just kinda wrong. In RC though, I think a really wide range of strategies work with very different res…
-
The LG from those tests are as relevant as ever. They've thrown some really weird games at us lately and some of these older games are great practice for learning to think creatively on the fly. I think the RC is more or less equally relevant. It ha…

Like Nathaniel said, yeah, they do trend harder. It is only a trend though. Question number 1 may be really hard, and question number 26 may be really easy. Typically the difficulty will peak in the 18 to 23 range, but you never really know for any …

The 7Sage Starter Pack includes the entire 7Sage Core Curriculum which I think makes it the best value in the entire LSAT Prep industry. Obviously you'll be getting a biased sample of opinions here, lol, but it's just the truth. You won't get any be…
-
I do. I actually can't remember what the curriculum says about this, but I consider not getting to a question a clear pacing issue. I want my BR to show how far my understanding and ability can take me on their own, and then pacing is addressed as o…

As Riley and Alex said, it's all about having a good skipping strategy. Just don't let yourself get bogged down and remember when you skip that you're banking the time--not losing it. Banked time is tremendously powerful, and you should look to maxi…
-
I also use three different markings: A slash for questions I have high confidence on but would like to confirm. These are the lowest priority for when I return at the end. If I don't make it back to them, it's okay: I probably got it right anyway. …
-
Do a warmup to try to work out the jitters. I typically do a couple games, an RC passage, and about the first 15 minutes of an LR section. Beyond that, don't be afraid to skip those early questions. A lot of people won't because they're the "easy" o…
-
The guilt of not studying is the real issue here. You probably understand rationally that you can not study with every waking moment, but you don't feel it emotionally which leads to guilt. This will burn you out faster than anything and, as is the …
-
The language is a bit different, but the logic is not. Logic itself is like math and is universal and unchanging. Any increased difficulty can only come from basically writing the test at a higher reading level. There's often a transition period to …
-
Do a timed test--PT 36--and use that to determine where to go next. You'll likely need to quit PTing for a few weeks to address many issues it will reveal, but I think it's good to take a test post CC. I elaborate a lot on how to go about post curri…
-
The BR method is specifically the method of only reviewing your circled questions, so reviewing everything is something else. I think if you want to do everything, that can be okay, but the data isn't as valuable. So if that's the way you want to go…
-
With that breakdown, I think you'll most likely need to focus on LR. A potential for -6 total on your LR is a catastrophe if you're pushing for +175. Cut that in half and that should give you the consistency you're looking for.
-
Approaches to RC are a lot more flexible and diverse than in LG, so it will vary. I think the distribution of time between passage and questions is what matters most. If you're spending 4 minutes in the passage, you're going to need to move with spe…
-
It's not so bad. I've always been a political oddball, and I've come to appreciate it.
-
Definitely different for everyone. Just save the newer ones for once you're scoring in the range you want to score in. Use older tests to work your way up.

@Harrison_Pav said: Those awkward misc. games seem to stop showing up as often come PT 45 or so. They come back with a vengeance in the 70's though. I think that's pretty good advice about managing BR and time expectations. Make sure once y…
-
I think there's a broad range of strategies in RC, much more so than in either LR or LG. Make sure you have a deliberate strategy so that you have something to guide your process. You really don't want to just kinda read the passage and answer the q…

Hey @dml277 , July 20 was a typo, lol. Fixed!
