You are either overestimating your understanding of games, or else you are underestimating the effects of pressure. Those really seem to be the only two factors in play, so you can't be going -10 while simultaneously understanding the material and …
The BR Groups go late into the night, so just jump in when you can! The times are designed, as best as possible, to accommodate the rather awkward time difference between EST/PST. EST folk almost always need to leave early, and PST folk almost alw…
Lawyer isn't what I technically want to do anyway. It's how I can effectively fight my battles. So if that falls through, fine with me. I will then pursue happiness:
Gentleman Farmer and Professor of English Literature.
Look through the bibliographies and read more extensively from the works the passages are drawn from. That way, you get the benefit of new material while staying very close to the LSAT Passage.
Off the top of my head, I recommend Culture and Imper…

I do worry though that my choice of refusing to choose an ethnicity will play a negative role regarding the fact that I am stepping outside of the box and not conforming. I might be seen as someone who will not go with the flow?

Agreed with @danielznelson and @"shahla.s-1" .
You should determine whether you employ this strategy on a specific question based on your confidence. So, if you're 50% confident an answer is right, you probably want to keep reading. If you're 95%…
Consciously developing an exact strategy and relying on it under time is kind of the process for me. For RC, I think what that strategy is is much more highly dependent on individual preference. Some people barely make any markings at all, and oth…

How do I know mine is actually fine?
Compare your setup to his. Even if your setup is different, it will still function in the same way if it is correct. Getting all the questions right is usually a good sign too;)

Yes, all my gifs will be Harry Potter related.
Excellent!
For those of you who may not know Benjamin, he's done a LOT of work behind the scenes. He developed our excellent schedule leading up to the September test and he led …

I've been working on fixing my RC issue and found this in a book today... "From 1956 to 1975 there was a “Directed Memory/Reading Recall” section of the test where you had 15 minutes to read three passages and answer 30 question…
@montaha.rizeq said:
plus how often can you get your paper revised and given an opinion by a Yale Law grad? lol
Not to mention an Iowa Writer's Workshop grad. I'm not sure people fully appreciate the enormity of that. Iowa is the Yale of writing.

I think they meant that he was a part of the original 7Sage team I read that somewhere too not that long ago, but I forget where.
Yeah, I was under that impression too. Can't remember where I heard it. I've seen him post once…

Do you have nay idea if the NYU scholarships need to be applied to together with the application, or if you only apply once you're admitted
They must be applied for with your application.

I used the older ones to build up my skills and once my skills were at a much better place, I was able to adjust to the changes that take place in the 70s because I could identify what was going on.
Agreed with this! Ideally, …
Mixed up! The last thing you want is to be reaching the most recent, relevant tests right before you test with no time to adapt to the subtleties of the contemporary LSAT. The recent tests have a very distinct feel to them, and you want to learn t…

Chris Rock made an Asian sweatshop joke at the Oscars this year (which was supposed to be a protest against the lack of diversity in Hollywood, for those who don't remember), and then followed it up with a joke about Asian ki…
Yeah, with that much spread between your score and your BR, and if a lot of it is timing; you could probably make substantial benefits to your average score just by developing a better pacing strategy. In most cases I think that's what that informa…

I was hoping to see a steady increase in my score
This never happens, lol. Improvement tends to be really erratic. Follow your average, not your individual scores. Individual scores will always be a bit of a rollercoaster. A…
I'm not familiar with alphascore, so can't comment on it beyond noting that it obviously doesn't seem to be working for you. If you like 7Sage's LG though, I will mention that JY actually considers the 7Sage LR course stronger than the LG course, w…
Good call @nessa.k13.0 .
And for everybody else, especially you regulars; please don't feel like you've got to attend every group! These calls are a resource, not an obligation! Make sure you are fitting group calls into your study plan, not your…
