@aiesha Yeah, my top school is UCLA. My wife currently works there. So many things would be 100x easier if I got in there, especially with a good aid package (hence, the desire for a 170+ score). Also, given their age and birthday, my kids wouldn't …

I started in December, but I only can average about 20 hours per week of studying because of work and taking care of my 3-year old twins (proud daytime daddy, evening-time tutor). Just to warn you. Unless you have pre-existing skills in logic and ar…

A lot of people were upset. I thought it odd that 7Sage hadn’t sent out a mass email alerting all of their subscribers. I can only speculate that they might have been worried about server overload. They get no benefit from unhappy customers.

RC is incredibly personal. What works for one person may not work for another. I think it depends on what kind of learner you are: visual, auditory, or kinesthetic. If you’re a kinesthetic learner, you’re crazy not to annotate. Just write quickly an…

I’m not sure that’s entirely correct. LSAC only made it impossible for 7Sage to sell PDFs, but Cambridge is still selling PDFs. Either Cambridge has a sweetheart deal with LSAC or their license hasn’t expired yet. http://www.cambridgelsat.com/prepte…

@blah170blah That’s genius! Stealing!

I wouldn't advise speeding unless you're mentally equipped for it. I've heard spending time up front (as much as 4-5 minutes on the hard passages) and avoiding time traps (hence the "skip questions" idea) can be very helpful. Try it. Nothing to los…

Are you skipping questions? If you're consistently getting 14-17 correct, then a possible strategy is to shoot to skip 7 questions throughout. You'll feel far less time-strapped, increase your accuracy (maybe get up to a 20) and maybe have time to g…

Started in January. Diagnostic-141. highest PT/BR so far - 155/172. Committed to working on this, as continuously as possible, for 18-24 months since I couldn't start law school until fall 2017. Slow and steady wins the race.

Exactly, Blind Review is a test of our conscious thought processes, so your fundamentals are clearly improving. But the LSAT, because of the huge time constraint, is a test of our intuitive thought process. But you’re doing the right things: PT Time…

I have similar issues. I always kept hoping you guys would eventually add subtitles for us visual learners. Not sure how difficult that would be, but it would be very helpful
-
Have you thought about a tutor. Maybe Jonathan or Graeme Blake. At this point, it might be worth the expense.
-
It really is. I've committed myself to 18 months of this (almost 5 months in already). JY wasn't kidding when he recommended a year. Those who've gone at least a year into this process have testified that they're actually smarter people as a result …

Was RC the biggest culprit?
-
UCLA is a test center too, I think.

The Verdict, Anatomy of a Murder, Adam’s Rib, The Lincoln Lawyer, and The Firm. To name a few.

This is from @kraft.phillip who was answering a different question than the one you are asking but I think it still offers some perspective into where you are on this journey we call LSAT prep: there are roughly 75 preptests total, so that's 300 uni…
-
Haven't done it. But I think it's a pretty good idea since you've already worked through the 7Sage curriculum. Would love to hear your results from such an experience.
-
@nicole.hopkins Really? I kinda feel like a little kitty with my LR and my RC times, but I’ll take it.
-
@AlexanderL0 As aspiring lawyers, we should try to adhere to the well known principle of dealing with the argument, not the person. You may disagree with their advice, but it does them nor you no good to call them ignorant because they gave you advi…

Last week, I BRd PT38 with a score of 172. I find typing it out really helps, though it took 3 days. I worked Manhattan LR Assumption Family stuff. And Foolproofed at least 4 games per day (it’s starting to get meditative). This week, I’m still w…

many = some. Most = more than 50%. Most implies some ( or many). Some does not imply most. too many” is a comparative opinion: too many = more than desired. Hope this helps.

I think it has more to do with my lack of Instagram skills. Me too. Visual representation all the way; My short term memory is also a mess. I just never thought to write 2 separate boards for that question. But it's the best way to stay accurate.…
-
Well, I’ve never heard about this “which” vs. “if” idea. I always suspected there were clues in the questions as to approach. That being said, I understand the problem fairly well; I split the master game board along the G node (4 or 5). I just for…
-
Me too. But sometimes, I forget the switch and it’s so frustrating.
-
I’m on month 2 of my logic bundle. I’ve completed every game at least 3 times so far (plus I add games from new PTs after I complete them.) I anticipate it’ll take at least another 2 months to complete. But in the end, I’m told, I can expect to be a…

I’ll give you an example: LG game 4 of PT 29, #23. In this sequencing game, you re-write the board putting P and O in different places. Most people put the O in 5 and the P (with 2 others) in 6, and then put a switch on them to illustrate that O cou…
-
No, I'm usually too worried about time and a switch, when properly executed, certainly saves time. I suppose the better long term strategy is to write it all out and to keep practicing writing "small, fast and neat."
-
@brna0714 is right. I always waste all this great work in LG because I forget to put a switch in (why? I have no idea) and inevitably get at least 1 or 2 questions wrong. It all comes down to mindfulness (which is the fundamental truth for every se…
