I experienced similar burnout. One thing that really helps is healthy eating and a good workout routine. Good cardiovascular health and a mix a good proteins and whole grains in one's diet will…

I haven't seen too many of the newer questions, but I think the LR seems to jive better with me as well. At least from the few sections I have seen in the 60s
Something about those 1990s era LSATs in particular are so weird. …

Did anyone else find the newer exam questions to be less difficult?
I have found PTs in the 60s and 70s to be way easier, as well. Something about the language they use in 1-40 does no seem to jive well with me. On average, I a…

So you would say just get through the CC and then begin PT'ing and use the Cambridge Packets to drill any weaknesses then?
Yes, with one caveat. If you are in the CC and find yourself really stumped by a certain question type…
Given that you are using the Starter package, I would try to save a majority for drilling purposes when you are in the PT phase. The Starter packeage has the fewest problems sets to go with the curriculum so it would be wise to save the meat of you…
I used to have this problem. Essentially, you lucked out on your original answer and really did not grasp the logic of the question in BR. Writing out why each incorrect answer is wrong and why the correct one is right is an awesome way to get int…
My honest, unbiased opinion would be to go with the U or U+. I have used other prep test materials and they are not the same as 7Sage. 7Sage is better because they do not try to teach you a bunch of mechanical stops to solving the questions. You …

In my first LR section I got destroyed but that was more due to being nervous and not being strategic enough with the harder questions. Once I settled in things went much smoother.
How do you "settle in" when taking a PT…
Thanks @"Nathan Turley" for the kind words of admiration. I really can't quite pin it down to a specific issue. Some tests, i go -0 on LG, and others, I go -12. RC is definitely feels like the hardest part of the test, but scores show otherwise a…

Okay am I the only one that thinks this no mechanical pencils rule is a load of bs
I agree with you, it really is a load of bs, BUT, it is what it is. Best advice is to get used to working with them and not dwell on it.

I have found the PT's from 1-16 to be very beneficial. The early '90s games are tough, some even regard them as the hardest games out there. Using the "Fool-Proof Guide" on each game from each test really helped me out.
I think the LR and RC fr…
Thanks @"Cant Get Right" , is there anyway you can provide a link to the schedule for the BR calls? Seems like we are jumping around and not going in sequential order. Thanks boss!
Review: Uni Hi-Uni Pencils and Blackwing Palomino Long-point Pencil Sharpener.
First off, anyone who does not use a girthy pencil seriously needs to get this sharpener. It sharpens like a friggin' boss and take like 30 sec to resharpen to a perfec…

This is all solid advice, but I wouldn't recommend drilling other materials until you're done with the core curriculum (inclusive of the problem sets, that will give you drilling practice you need, so don't skip those)

@"Jonathan Wang" Thank you for your candor and extensive feedback. I really do appreciate it. No hard feelings on my end, I always appreciate the constructive criticism.

@"Cant Get Right" I don't think it is half ass BR, I got over that habit a while ago. What I like to do is go over each and every answer choice and articulate to myself why it is either right or wrong. I spend a good 5min/Q on average for BR, but …
@"Cant Get Right" Cool, then count me in. I will most likely be a sporadic attendee for the summer but will be more regular in the fall. Thank you for doing this!
Hey everyone! So, I initially planned on taking in June but would rather postpone to September. I am still doing the CC but will be finished by May. That said, I will probably join in on the BR activities later in the month. Are participants requ…

Nice! Let us know how that one works
Will do!
I went ahead and splurged and bought the Uni Hi-Uni's (http://www.amazon.com/Uni-Hi-Uni-Wooden-Pencil-HUHB/dp/B001B8UH30?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_det…
Okay, I'm bringing this thread back to life. Again. So, I'm interested in the Palomino Blackwing pencil sharpener but I want to make sure it can sharpen thick, beefy pencils (tri-conderogas at minimum).
I'm particularly interested in using these p…
OP: I believe if you keep the resume a page (snapshot of your education, WE, volunteer stuff, etc.) and have your accomplishments as part of a curriculum vitae you should be fine. I think some CV's can be up 8-10 pages. That is what they told us i…
This is so awesome! J.Y. is the man for learning science passages. I found the family genetic behaviors one to be very enlightening. Everyone tells me that my brother and I are so much alike, yet we are not from the same bloodline. My brother, b…
