One reason it was so difficult for me to get my morning routine down is that I'm a major dilly dallier. If I'm not careful, I can spend an hour just on coffee. So the way I got around this was by determining how long each thing should take and then …
Hey JP!
My RC strategy is a strange combination between the memory method and a heavy annotation method. Basically, I annotate the shit out of the passage as I read it, but then once I get into the questions, I don't really refer back to my annotat…
One thing I did for awhile--which was a little crazy--was to completely shift my sleep block. My typical day was to get up, go to work, study LSAT that evening, and then go to sleep for the night. Work was exhausting though, and it was very difficul…
It was about a three week process for me, but I always let my writing stew for a while before calling it done. Allowing for a little time after a draft can do wonders for your perspective on it. I also worked with @david.busis , and having his guida…

it's not an indication of a future score at all, it's just a theoretical potential to give you a gauge of your actual understanding in that current moment.
Couldn't have said it better!
And glad you've been able to benefit from my …
I think choosing which school is best for you is a very personal choice. Of course, ranking matters, but these two are extremely close. So which one feels right for you?
Well, your BR score doesn't necessarily mean you are capable of that score. BR measures your understanding, so when we say that your BR represents your maximum potential, that is very much a theoretical potential. You can't exceed your potential for…
Go under the Discussion menu at the top and you'll see Webinar Videos. That's an archive of webinars that have been done in the past. For upcoming webinars, check the top few threads in the forum. They'll be posted there.
For me, the main thing to realize about the purpose of blind review is that your task is not to find the right answer, it's to achieve understanding. Your job in BR is to try and go as deep as you can, which means you should be aiming for complete a…
I wouldn't worry too much about number of tests a week. I recommend letting that be what it is, with the understanding that as we improve we will accelerate. For your review, make sure you're doing it blind. As you're taking the test, circle any que…
I think we all struggle with the decision of to delay or not. For me, it was less about my law school opportunities and more about the test itself. I felt like I hadn't proven myself yet, so even though I had some great options, I had unfinished bus…
I really don't have much knowledge on this, so I'm not sure. I definitely follow your reasoning here though and can definitely see how it'd give one an edge. I know a lot of folks last cycle did a 0L study group to start getting ready. Seems like a …
Parallel reasoning for me was a very holistic question type. At first they're super intimidating, but once you've really learned all the logic and have gained experience with reading for logical structure they aren't nearly as bad. One thing I did e…

Funny part is i'm not satisfied. Im still hungry.
The more you feed the beast, the more it wants, haha. Congratulations, that's such a huge milestone and the fact you're only more motivated to keep pushing is an excellent sign.…

For those delaying- we're still awesome.
Absolutely you are! It takes most top scorers longer than they think it will, so y'all delayers are in great company.
Also, @"Not Ralph Nader" , I really hope you did not have a commitment of more than 160 hours a week;) Unless you had a baby. I suppose that might push 168.
@"Not Ralph Nader" said:
My suggestion is on the days that you feel like studying LSAT commit yourself to a minimum amount of study in a day
Yeah, I really love this. By setting a minimum, you can approach the day a lot easier without getting over…

P Q
Visually, I don't like seeing an arrow run from the necessary back to the sufficient. That represents a false relationship because the sufficient term is unaffected by the satisfaction of the necessary. The absence of one does …
Just make sure you're doing good BR with a thorough follow up. Every PT is going to expose weaknesses and it's really important to identify those weaknesses and address them before moving on to the next PT.

I'm really kicking myself for missing the most recent webinar as well, as it seemed to be a relevant topic to this issue I am having.
Haha, yep. Covered this in pretty good detail! Should be available soon!
Until then, here…

Go to Resources - LSAT Question Bank and you can filter for Logical Reasoning questions only and then Main Point only questions.
Yep.
And agreed with @Walliums that untimed drills are probably going to be much more beneficial at …
Congrats! That's an important milestone! Keep at it and study smart; you'll continue to see growth and improvement. I agree with Dave @DumbHollywoodActor that fundamentals are key right now. Your BR score is your max potential, so first step is to b…
Agreed with @jknauf and @danielznelson .
Focus on your GPA for now. The additional major downside of taking a semester off rather than studying after graduation is that it forces you to commit to a timeline and take what you can get, ready or not. …
