Okay, starting to make more sense I think. @MrSamIam said: An analogy is when you take two seemingly different things and find a point of comparison between the two - in other words, you take 2 seemingly different things and show that they are simi…

Congratulation, Nicole, that is amazing!
-
This sounds amazing! RC is becoming my favorite section.
-
I am an ENTJ - Assertive, aka 'The Commander.' If you read the full description, you will see that this personality type makes for a great lawyer or judge. I don't think this is as good a predictor of future success as the LSAT, but, regardless, i…

@"Can’t Get Right" Another thing: now that I think about it, sometimes I really am not that engaged, but when I read for pleasure I am engaged. I can see what you mean by bridging the gap between using the same kind of focus when I read for pleasure…
-
@"Can't Get Right" @twssmith Thank you to the both of you, I feel a bit more encouraged. I guess, I am used to picking up on certain things relatively easy, and the LSAT is just, not that at all. I have started to read the economist on a regular b…
-
I basically annotate like J.Y. does: circling important people, events and ideas and underline the larger predicates describing the main aspects of said major person/place/things. If the passage is super easy I spend about 3 and half min on it, if i…

@stepharizona I have been prepping for almost 4 months now and have seen practically no improvement... I have reason to be unkind.
-
I tried this out on a pair of RC passages, not a whole section because I am still not all the way done with CC. It took me 20:34, getting 3 wrong, with 5 Q's in the first and 6 in the second. ...I suck.
-
@"Can’t Get Right" said: I've just had an apostrophe You had an 'apostrophe'? I'm guessing you meant epiphany... Any-who, thank you for the post @"Can't Get Right" Time feels like my biggest issue at the moment. Would you recommend simply timing…
-
@MrSamIam Wow, thank you for the thorough explanation. That further explained the proper reasoning and really made this question more understandable. You are a rockstar! @runiggyrun I see what you are getting at now. AC C might be a weird sort of w…
-
@"Nicole Hopkins" Good to hear. I will try to be a little bit more conservative with my material in the future. I already wasted 5 PTs with the 'more is better mentality.' :-S
-
Crap! Well, I plowed through all of the sets for strengthen/weaken... Oh well. I do I have the cambridge pdfs (was lucky enough to purchase them before the ban), so I don't think it will be too much of an issue. By the third or fourth problem set I …
-
@runiggyrun said: answer B "we will all share the same culture and same values" I think I get it now. The tricky part with this problem was that I had circled all 5 AC's and wasn't really sure what to do from there. In retrospect, I think B actual…
-
@MrSamIam Thanks! I believe I am trying to compare the last two AC and that might be where I get my wires crossed. I will try the aforementioned method. @twssmith I am just barely scratching the surface of the 7Sage core curriculum, but have been …
-
@danielznelson They probably want people to buy the books directly from LSAC, not these 3rd party distributors. I think the DOJ should look into this--can you say monopoly power?
-
Is there no way to attach some kind of DRM software/key to the pdf to curb unlawful dissemination? I know Sony did that with a bunch of CDs back in the early stages of intellectual piracy problems.
-
@"J. Y. Ping" Okay, good! That kind of scared me for a moment.
-
This doesn't mean that 7Sage's explanations of questions will soon be given the axe, right?
-
@runiggyrun Back has been a ton better lately. Chiropractor, stretching, foam rolling, and spinal erector workouts FTW!
-
@amipp170 You are rooting for the wrong team. Go Bluedevils!! :P @twssmith @"Nicole Hopkins" Thank you for the great advice! Going through the CC now. I am liking the grammar section. It helps put context on some of these convoluted questions. ) I…
-
@"J.Y. Ping" Hey! The man himself!! Thank you for the warm welcome @"A. Clermont" Thanks for the advice. Going to spend the next week getting through the CC and then move back to taking PT's. Definitely need a new approach. The PS bibles were helpf…
-
I believe at Northwestern, if you apply for the 2-year accelerated program, you may use the GMAT in lieu of the LSAT. The two year program also puts less emphasis on the standardized test metric for the admissions process and even interviews prospec…
-
What about... 6 sections?! I mean, you don't want to be completely brain dead for the writing sample, right?
-
@"runiggyrun" Thanks for the kind words! I am also taking @"Keane Xavier" 's advice and seeking out a chiropractor to make sure it isn't anything serious. I am only taking the Alleve on days I PT, not if I am just drilling or reading. On those days …
-
Update: Preemptive Alleve helps a ton! Doing this and foam rolling your back and hips out will make you feel super limber and pain free while you take PT's
-
Update: I have ordered a lumbar support for my computer chair and am making a conscious effort to sit up straight. The other I took a picture of myself in my natural seated position and found that I am basically in the fetal position. Thanks for th…
-
Maybe the Alleve will work better than Advil. Worth a shot. Going to start foam rolling/stretching every morning I think. I just tried reading a passage of reading comps with perfect posture. I can in fact read it, the text just seems really far awa…
-
I bubble as I finish every page except for questions that I want to make sure I come back to. I know this can kind of be risky but it has helped me catch some wrong answer choices I had made initially and correct them after. Sometimes seeing a quest…
-
My only problem is that I feel like I waste 1-2 min readjusting my position in the seat. Normally this isn't a problem when I take tests as I usually am not worried about finishing on time. I think I might have to look into a PK and stretch before t…
