Yeah @nye8870 the timing strategy can work with any drilling material, ones you cut and paste or just Cambridge stuff. The KEY is that when the timer hits 1:20, take a guess, circle the question and MOVE ON (but vow to come back). This ensures that …

I actually really like their LR and RC book. They do hold off on formal logic until halfway through, and it pales in comparison to 7Sage, but I found their argument core stuff goes well with 7Sage. Plus, I feel they go over wrong answer types very w…

@nicole.hopkins (Shakes fist) Why I oughta!!! Back in my day, we respected our elders and walked to school in the snow barefoot...uphill!!! AND WE LIKED IT!!!!!

I don’t know. I thought Sunil.Kumar- 1 answered Sunil.Kumar’s question very well.

For me, it’s about time management. I can usually do main point, agree/diagree, paradox, and some argument part questions in about 20-30 seconds. I have found that that is vital for me if I have any chance of getting the LR section done on time. I’…

Watch JY do it for PTs 5 and 6. Slow and steady. He even re-reads parts. Always pushing it back
-
I actually DO love Logic games now. It’s weird. It’s now like Sudoku.
-
I think fundamental errors are more important than confidence errors early on in the process. Maybe you should look at every question and once you get a BR score that you’d be happy with as an actual score, then use the circle method.
-
It took a little practice, but now I don’t even think about it. It’s all about using the finger of your non-writing hand. Watch the videos on PT 35 games to see what I mean. http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-35-section-3-game-1/ Alth…

I actually write my master game board on the second page. That way my eye only has to move slightly back to the rules for the majority of the questions. It’s been a revelation for my LG practice.

See you next week for PT 54

Pacificorino, if you're not into that whole brevity thing.

It might be a good idea to do it for both the October and December test if you can do it in the same place for both tests and that you’re worried you might succumb to the terrors of “test day anxiety”. Based on the comments I’ve seen on the boards b…

@Pacifico Can we all call you “Sarge”?

Nice

What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

"No" is a group 4 (negate necessary) so whichever condition you make necessary must be negated: all effective laws are enforceable or all unenforceable laws are ineffective. Any way you slice it, they are clearly different from "all enforceable laws…

Have you done any group BR's? I think talking everything out really is helpful. I've already seen a bump in both my BR and my time score since starting them
-
HI @"Shirley Z." Go to one of the Logic games explanation in PT 5, then scroll down and pick one of the reading comps. In each one is a video of JY doing it in real time. Same for PT 6
-
I also found it very helpful, especially in how it classifies wrong answer choices.
-
For BR group
-
Yeah!
-
That’s awesome! Congrats!
-
Yes. BR is where the learning takes place and is reinforced. I actually type out all of my reasoning for why answers are correct and incorrect. But I must admit that I have no looming deadline to take the test. You have to balance your own prioritie…

How was your BR?
-
Follow the order of the curriculum. Take the diagnostic. Be okay with sucking. It's the best mindset to be in for improving. You got this.
-
Aw, Shucks! Folks, I’m speechless!
-
No we in the PT-only phase don’t, unless the last few Logic games questions of PT 69 game 4 were all D.
-
Unless, of course, you are gettin’ “some”.

I find a huge component to Main Conclusion questions is referential phrasing, which JY talks about in the early grammar portion of the curriculum. Many times you’ll have to synthesize a conclusion from parts of multiple sentences.
