The conclusion is pain protocols are unnecessary for humans. The premise is that human beings can be told what’s going to happen to them and then they can decide whether or not to go through with it. To weaken this argument, we need an answer th…

@Pacifico said: Why would you pay for a service like this and then not use it as it is presented the first time through? They obviously put a lot of hard work and effort and have refined the order over the years, so don't try to reinvent the wheel …

@guitarnara said: I think a more suitable analogy would be that BR Scores represent how well one can play a fast passage of music without mistakes, at a slower speed, while timed scores are analogous to how well one is able to pull it off at the a…

@ENTJ while I think the Goku metaphor is helpful, it can also be misleading because beginning students can sometimes have a difficulty differentiating undermining the premise (which happens a good amount on the LSAT) with contradicting the premise (…

Weaken/ strengthen are tough because you have to be flexible. Sometimes you need to explain why the conclusion might be more /less likely. Sometimes, you need to find/block an alternative explanation. Sometimes, you're undermining/bolstering an assu…

@mkariyeva94 You're robbing yourself of a valuable learning opportunity. When you go into reviewing a question knowing the answer, you passively just say, "ok. Got it." When you're not sure of the correct answer, you're actively thinking through wh…

The blind review score is a measure of your understanding of the test. The timed score is a measure of your performance of the test. There's no way to predict how long it will take to achieve your BR score. Just because you know how a violin works …

Are you Blind Reviewing? What's your score there?

@kevinsage I was! And then I went back to practicing!

Welcome to LSAT Prep, Home of the Pity Party! I am far from a success story, but I want to share my progress with you: I went an embarrassing -18 on my diagnostic for RC. I’ve been doing this pretty much straight for almost 8 months, and on my most …
-
@mes08 I would advise against putting a judgement word like “lazy” on it. I think people who’ve gone through the curriculum, used other texts like LSAT Trainer or even Powerscore, and taken at least 10 PTs are, by definition, NOT LAZY. I like to th…
-
I found both Memory Method and LSAT Trainer helpful as both my recall abilities and my ability to read for reasoning structure were abysmal. It all comes down to what your deficiencies are.
-
I also use the app Elevate, but I really can’t say for certain if that’s doing anything.
-
@ENTJ Well, I was pretty terrible at RC, so I knew I had to go hard or go home. But I’ve gone from pretty terrible (-18) on my diagnostic to mediocre (-5) on my last test, so it seems to be paying off somewhat. Still have a long way to go.
-
@ENTJ Okay. So it’s not earth shattering, but on Blind Review I like to write out all the thoughts I wish I had while doing it for timed. I’ll write out the main idea of every paragraph, or purpose. I’ll write out the main idea of the passage. I’ll …

@lpadr009 They do! Lots of love between the two! http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/comment/15143

@splitterhopeful I think you lack perspective. You’re in a very good place 5 PTs in after doing the curriculum. You clearly understand your fundamentals. You just need to get your processing time up. Practicing timed tests, with BR will help with th…

@splitterhopeful Dude, that’s awesome! And in 5PTs?! What’s you’re breakdown of wrong answers? Evenly distributed? Or all LG?
-
For me, LG is like going to the gym. If I don’t use it, I lose it. I didn’t always think that way. I once hoped that LG mastery would be some sort of milestone I could attain and then I’d be able to focus on my other weaknesses. I have a file of o…

Yeah, me too. It also explains a few of my problems I’ve had in my acting career. Scary. Way to go Dr. Jung!

@alexandergreene93 ESTJs rule! One site said we’re the executives of the world. Although, the Game of Thrones site says we’re the Khal Drogos of Westeros so that tempers it a bit.

This is actually quite fascinating. Explains a lot
-
The website I took this test at (16personalities.com) calls my type the Executive. That is news to me.
-
I just took the test. I have no idea what it means. ESTJ-T . This feels like a horoscope.
-
I expect @Pacifico will be here very soon to offer you his guide. I like to kid him that it's practically his calling card, but it's actually very good advice.
-
Wow! Well done, @brna0714
-
I’d love to help. What test and section are you referring to?
-
Yeah. Enjoy the jump, but you want to celebrate as much as you’d mourn a 10 point dip in your score. At this point, it’s all about the process. That being said, if the next 3 PTs are at the same level, I’d say a celebratory beer wouldn’t be out of t…
