Thanks for the link @Zachary_P . That thread is a very closely related concept, and hope it will be helpful! @rajanjc92 said: If i read a problem and find out its hard, i have already invested time into it thus making me feel i should at leas…

They'll have access to all your scores, so it's not like they won't be aware of your average. At the end of the day though, they only have to report your top score to USN&WR which sets the rankings. Rankings are hugely important, and everyone un…

In one of my administrations the guy next to me had a bottle of water that he drank throughout the test. So it really does just kind of depend on the proctors, but yeah, it is definitely not allowed. The guy next to me also left the test room twice …

I read OP's question to be less about negation and more about how taking the contrapositive affects a some statement in the chain. You guys are doing a great job with this discussion. I think as far as negation, you're right on with it @therealnas …

Green tea is very low in caffeine. It's the theanine you really want. Like caffeine, it boosts metabolism and cognition, but whereas caffeine increases anxiety, theanine actually reduces it by raising dopamine levels.

Yeah, I second everything @Sami said. The difference between most -0/-1 scorers is not that we just read everything perfectly and don't fall into traps and understand arguments and answer choices immediately. The difference is we buy ourselves the t…

Yeah, it really just depends on where you are and what your goals are, plus how effectively you study and how quickly you progress. If you're at a 150 and aiming for a 175, it's probably not. If you're at a 160 and aiming for a 165, yeah, that's pro…

@"Alex Divine" said: Although sometimes I wonder if I was doing better with the Cambridge Packets. It really helped me to see pattern recognition on. The argument people tend to leverage against them is that because they are categorized you lo…

Great BR score. Your understanding of the fundamentals is clearly solid enough for your score range. Focus on pacing and time management. Make sure you're not getting bogged down on questions you're likely to miss anyway. With your score/BR spread, …

Yeah, there's a lot of weird stuff in some of the older ones. I love some of the tech questions talking about "the internet" and "voicemail" and all these strange new things. Pretty funny. Don't sweat these ones too much. If JY says it's weird, then…

@fmihalic2 said: How prevalent are games of this level of difficulty on the more modern LSATs? I think I would drop dead in there if I were to see a game like this. Especially game #2!!!!! Eh, hate to tell you, but they are highly prevalen…

@"lady macbeth" said: what can I do to better my endurance, speed, and accuracy? Lots. Like @AllezAllez21 said you do need to increase your BR score. Ultimately, speed comes from understanding. Until your BR is consistently above your targ…

Yeah, I tried PS and 7Sage. Obviously I chose 7Sage over PS, but I think @"nessa.k13.0" 's critique is exactly right. PS teaches you tricks to try and get around questions. 7Sage teaches understanding. I increased about 25 points from beginning to e…

I circle my 50/50s, double circle my skips/really low confidence, and slash through my high confidence/didn't read all answer choices, and then don't mark at all when I'm confident enough. Finding my system and practicing it and refining it until it…

I did a really extreme version of this, and I think it was really important to my success. I figured out everything I wanted to do before my test and when I wanted to do it. From going to bed the night before, to getting up and eating breakfast, hav…

@AllezAllez21 said: Say there are 3 questions that you skipped and 3 questions with which you are 70% confident. If you spend all the time on the skipped questions to get them to 50%, your expected return would be .5(3) + .7(3) = 3.6. If you …

Amen! This is an excellent analysis of a much overlooked subject of enormous importance. I count grammar as being very nearly as important as logic. I've worked with so many students, and grammar is always a problem. Learning to quickly and naturall…

First, and above all else: If you're just beginning your studies, do not take practice tests. Taking practice tests is a vital part of the process, but it is also an advanced one. Taking a practice test does not teach you fundamentals. It diagnose…

Just to reinforce, don't prepare for the writing sample. Unless you just don't write it at all or actively make a mockery of it, it really won't matter. Just make a case for both options, then choose one. Write around words you don't know how to spe…

So to address a few questions I've had: How do I join a study group? The groups will form on the forums, so keep an eye out for those and express your interest in those threads. Who are "Study Group Leaders?" 7Sage Study Group Leaders are organi…

Thanks for coming everyone!

Ok, nevermind!

Hey, having some issues with GTM. I think I'm going to have to create a new link, so will be right back!

Ask yourself how you'd like your morning before the test to go. What/when do you want to eat? Are you going to drink coffee? When? How much? Are you going to exercise? Meditate? Take a nap? What do you need to do to ensure that at 1pm, you are at yo…

And everyone, please note the date change. We'll be doing Tuesday rather than Monday this week. See everyone then!

Nah @"Bevs ScooterMinion" , then I'd have to go in and change the calendar, lol. Let's just stick to 24.

Yeah, we are off this week everyone. See y'all on the 29th!
