Might want to update the thread title for the next session! (Unless you're making a new thread, then ignore me :P)
A new thread was the original plan, but now that you mention it, keeping this same thread seems way …
Look forward to seeing everyone there!
@tringo335 , if you're working on LG this week, do LG. Don't worry about any LR until you've moved on. If you do get ahead of yourself and get to LR sooner, then that's fine. Use PT 18 for drills though. That …

I have to be that guy who asks if this will be recorded and provided for later viewing.
No, these will not be recorded.

OOOOO nice. What pts do you consider oldies? like 30 and down? Can we get a …
You can also check at some of your nearby universities' testing centers. Many will host mock LSATs where they'll administer a test just as though it were the real thing, and many of these will be lead by real LSAT proctors. So this is as close a sim…
Nah, that's for once you start PTing. BR for your PTs. Or I guess we could be a little more specific and say BR for you LR sections. That's way down the line though, so for now just know that it's okay if you use up your drill sets. Plus, you can al…
Yeah, I was stuck in kind of the low 160's for forever. 7Sage is what did it for me. I had done several of the other courses previously, and I just don't think I was ever going to get any further. The 7Sage curriculum is way more powerful, the study…

I spoke with the Powerscore instructor today he recommended I write in June because I would "forget" everything by September.
That is a very big red flag...
Agreed.

Once your BR is consistently above your target score, you're probably good to transition to mostly full section drills. It's not a strict cutoff though. If you still don't understand a certain question type, then you need to address that, but that's…
Hey JK, I think your plan is pretty solid. I guarantee that if you start PTing now, your PTs are just going to tell you to stop PTing and foolproof. So maybe take 36, but just know good and well that Game 3 is going to do unspeakable things to you.

At a certain point, drilling question types isn't very helpful anymore, so I don't think it's a major issue. At a certain level of proficiency, you'll want to drill sections. When you start on that, you'll definitely come across questions you've pre…
So with this question, my interpretation of the stimulus is the same. I recognize the conclusion and premises and wonder what the age of the craters has to do with anything. That kind of comes out of nowhere. It seems to missing a premise about mete…
I don't recommend doing all the problem sets as you go anyway. You only want to work those until you feel comfortable with the material. Save the rest for later. So I say start out with a lower package and then you can always upgrade later if you ex…
Agreed with @ajcrowel .
I particularly endorse the skipping strategy here, especially given the ease and speed with which you answer these questions in BR. A fresh look seems to solve this problem much of the time.
Train yourself to recognize issu…
If you're just starting out, be aware that needing to postpone is a very strong possibility in any case. Becoming T14 ready is an enormous undertaking and it takes a lot more work and time than most people realize in the beginning. If your diagnosti…

I mean, how do you lose four super bowls in a row!?
I mean, I'm sure someone has. That individual is anecdotal though. Think of it as an issue of probability. The ratio of successful attempts to attempts on that is astronomical. You don't want to be in that statistical pool, I can promise you.

I'm not sure what "except A, B" means. I'll assume we mean "B except when A." It's an interesting statement. So let's think about what it means.
It seems to imply that we must have B in the absence of A:
Except when A, B.
/A --> B
But it carr…
I think Sudoku type puzzles are great and exercise a lot of the same mental muscles as LGs. You have to treat them like outside reading though. They're great extras, just don't treat it as study time.
Yeah, this is a great BR methodology. We can't find the right answers until we ask the right questions. It's this level of depth that we've really got to get into if we want to perform at a high level and close the gap between timed and BR test scor…
With your justification of B, you've created a new paradox. We're cutting more trees, so we need fewer workers? Does that sound right? The underlying mistake is in assuming that the amount of land being harvested is a more determinant influence on l…
Don't drill from the new ones for sure! New ones should be preserved for full length PTs. The old ones are great for drills and exercises. Ain't too much changed.
If you're interested, I'm starting a series of old test reviews on Monday nights. So …
Yeah, I'm glad you created this thread. I've had a bit of a vendetta against prephrasing for a while, as many 7Sagers probably know by now, lol.
I think you're absolutely right that prephrasing can close our minds to trickier answer choices, and th…
Nice! You can't stumble your way into a 175! That's skills. Even if your average doesn't immediately trend that way, it represents an enormous capability that is very real. Hoping for many more!
The main thing is to take it slow. The temptation to start burning through PTs is going to be really strong, and you've really just got to resist that. You shouldn't take a PT unless you have reason to believe that you have improved since your last …
