I understand what you're saying. My line of thought was if you expose yourself to a couple five star questions during warmup, then your confidence won't be as shaken when you encounter 6 or 8 of them during the test. It's just a personal preference …
@SlimShady As you're going through the test timed, circle the questions that your aren't 100% sure on why the wrong answers are wrong and why the right answers are right. Print out a clean copy of the test and go through those questions that you cir…
The best feed back I can give is to max out at 3 per week. But, the most important part of the PT process is the Blind Review. Make sure you are doing a very thorough BR on a clean copy of the test you are working on. There is little upside in burni…

If you suck in one area then use that as your fifth section.
Still owe you alot for this idea! I improved a ton when I was PTing.

Lol, very fitting term. At times, this entire test can be "dic…

What's the point in taking a test I know I'm not ready for?
You should be commended for taking this approach. So many people, myself included, have taken the approach of rushing up and taking the test whether they are ready or…
@DeeJayGee I have all the Cambridge Packets for the question types and PDFs for 36-76. I use the snip it tool on Windows and cut and paste them to Word. Do that for 25 questions and you have a full section.

I think you should leave one extra day for a week when you do not have to think of LSAT in case you burn out before the December test.
This is great advice and a must this close in my opinion. The last few weeks should be spent PTin…
Something that I have started doing while drilling is to mix the questions up. If you are spending a lot of time doing the same question type over and over, it might be making it harder for you to switch gears during the real thing. Also, I would ad…
I think its a great problem to have. It just shows you have maybe adopted his line of thinking. Assuming you're getting the questions correct of course.
I usually go in sets of five with a 7:30 time limit. Also, be sure you're drilling either complete sections or at least mix up your flaw drilling by throwing some other question types in that you might be struggling with. This will keep you adept to…
@Martin01 Have you finished the curriculum over SA questions? What exactly are you having trouble with? There are a lot of things that go into these questions starting with proper translation, linking ideas and finding the way to link premise(s) to …
I can understand the difficulty. To be successful at these questions, you really need to be able to identify certain parts of information and of course understand them. The "according to" part of the question stem indicates that the answer will have…

Thank you for your suggestions. Do you recommend I get both the LG and LR (1-35) bundles from Cambridge? Thanks.
Not to step on the toes of @DumbHollywoodActor , but I would if it isn't going to hurt the purse. Of course you wo…
PTs are too precious to waste. I would say to go through the trainer schedule minus the PTs and save every PT you can for after you finish the 7sage curriculum.
IMHO, if you want to improve at RC then you should read more RC passages. Get your hands on every single passage you can. I understand that you might be better at the older ones, but if you're still going -1 to -3 on those then there is still room f…
If those are your biggest struggles, then you would definitely benefit from a thorough reading of the Trainer. For LR, the best part in my opinion is the approach he uses to find flaws. Since such a large majority of questions in LR focus on findin…
