Good luck everyone!

Yeah, next week is going to be excellent for RC! Posting soon, so keep an eye out for more details!

Welcome!

I believe the answer is technically no, but for the purposes of the LSAT, yes. The LSAT doesn't cut that deep on the logic, so I don't think the distinction is important within the context. I doubt you'd need to work with it in any kind of condition…

Khan Academy is a great math resource as well. It's great to work through it in general, but for LSAT, just pulling out the lessons on percentages would be really helpful.
-
Grammar! Glad y'all are improving from making that a more conscious part of your studying! It's such a huge part of the LSAT, but so many people overlook it!

Every game will be different. They range anywhere from between 5 minutes to "Honestly, I have no idea. However much time you have left, that's how much time you spend on this game." Instead of aiming for a certain time, time yourself and see how lo…

Strengthen/Weaken questions are the hardest type for me too. Of course a deep intuitive understanding of the argument is essential, but from there, the answer choices can really come out of nowhere. Sometimes it won't even be immediately clear how t…

Chicago will open doors for you that the others just can't. Yes, you'll be crushed financially for awhile, but I'd imagine the lifetime earnings expectancy of Chicago grads would far surpass the others, even factoring in the debt. The problem is one…

Haha, yeah, I've been there. So it goes.

Agreed with @BinghamtonDave . The average time is largely arbitrary. If I spend 1:35 on a 1 star question, that's an error even if I get the right answer. If I spend 2:30 on a 5 star in my extra time at the end, I'm fine with that. So it really does…
-
I love seeing this as a graph. Those early 5 stars can really mess us up when we let ourselves get bogged down. Effective and deliberate skipping/pacing strategies are essential to high scorers' performances, and this is maybe the best demonstration…
-
@bridgetka , if your score is taking 8 point swings just based on the strength of your LG performance, you definitely need to address that. Take some time to do an intensive and lock that down. Here's a great guide on an effective way to approach do…
-
Lots of great advice already. Michigan, Duke, and Northwestern would definitely provide you with the best national and international job prospects. The amount of debt you take on will further limit/prohibit your options, so it's a balance between th…

Yeah, this happened to me too on my final LR section. Sometimes you just got to roll with it. Best to just put it out of your mind and take it easy while you wait for your scores. Good luck!

@tanes256 said: Anybody watching Killing Fields? The second season is just, blah, but I still watch. Well I'm sold, haha!
-
This is excellent! I'm totally bookmarking this for future reference. Thanks Lo!
-
Lol, it turned my "B)" into a little guy.
-
I think this is a structure that is actually really interesting. So: (A --> --> C This means that if A and B exist in this conditional relationship with each other, then C. We're actually free to play with the A --> B conditional however…
-
Those are great times actually. My target passage time is 4 minutes and I'm always happy if I come in under that. By finishing the passage in under 4, you're in great position going into the questions. Sounds like things are starting to come togethe…

I think @"Alex Divine" covered it. I second that in its entirely and have nothing to add. Just stick with it and you'll get there.

@akeegs92 said: So I am currently working on incorporating the memory method into RC and have had mixed results. I'm losing a lot of time on the questions portion. When y'all go through the AC's, once you find the correct one do you then skip …
-
You are not seeing results which you are satisfied with, so you have to realize that you need to change your approach to studying. For me, having and responding to this realization was essential to my ultimate success. What you are doing is not work…
-
Yeah, at a certain point, errors should stop patterning themselves around question types, and become much more subtle and detail oriented. I found that adding a grammatical breakdown in addition to my logical one really helped train me to deal with …

Maybe a little late, but, bump for my Feb folks.
-
I read that to mean published scholarship or like a presentation at an academic conference or something. I can't imagine Columbia wants to know about my final paper from ENG 343, or my class presentation on Homi Bhabha.

Hey, a lot of great advice on this already, but I want to specifically reinforce this: @BenjaminSF said: The secondary phase (for me) of BR is going back to reinforce the fundamentals that were weak on that PT. For any questions that I miss…
