I'm still torn about which is better: only BRing those questions that were circled, or the entire PT. On one hand, I like the idea of going back through the entire thing again and reinforcing the thought processes. However, I find the time factor a …

My friend, who also earned a 166 was admitted into Emory (19th) with a $60k scholarship.
What was her GPA if you don't mind me asking? And how far removed from it was she?
Would it be a safe assumption that attending part time would make it extremely difficult to land a big law job since a lot of those offers come from summer programs? With the part time program that I am looking at, I would be going every summer to k…
I wouldn't go as far as to say that its a complete waste of time. I'm of the opinion with LG and RC that you either put your work in on the front end (passage and diagramming) or you put the work in on the back end with the questions. Personally, I …
@Pacifico Do you know of a document on 7Sage that has all the games grouped similar to the Cambridge Packets. Or at least the list of different games to the different groups. I still have access to the bundle but it would be a pain in @ss to group t…
To add, I've bought all the packets and currently drill all of them. Between doing PT's, I've been drilling each question type in increments of three questions at a time. I will set a timer for 4 mins and doing those threw questions while circling t…
I remembered these in a multitude of ways but ultimately what stuck with me is this:
-For strengthen, your job is to find the flaw in the reasoning and address it by closing the gap. Strengthen answers don't have to completely fix the argument, but …
Once you have your master GB set up, J.Y. recommends not to write on it. Your master GB would include those inferences that you made via the rules given. I always leave my rules written down if the event I need to refer back. But generally, the mast…
I agree with @blah170blah. To me, drilling each question type is good practice for the timed tests. Using an analogy to golf (for those that hate golf, I apologize), drilling question types is synonymous to a golfer spending time on the driving rang…
I definitely noticed a change, but the type of change(s) has me puzzled. For test # 51, My raw score went down as a result of what I assume to be the time pressure on a different test. But, my blind review score is higher than it has ever been. I've…
Just my .02, but I can understand your frustration. I guess the first question I would ask is did you know the deal with the PDFs when you signed up? If you haven't been working the course long, you will soon realize that the true value and strength…
I just wanted to post a positive note about The Trainer (found 0 negative things). I have finished the first nine lessons and it seems that the correct answer to flaws are just jumping out at me after these lessons compared to earlier. Combining thi…
@Matthew LLC I downloaded the free version of Elevate and it seems awesome. I am considering the paid version. Have you seen any improvement from using it? It seems to work on skills more relevant to the LSAT than Lumosity does. Any thoughts?
I have another trivial question regarding using the trainer and 7Sage together. In almost all the study schedules that Mike uses, questions from the later tests are used for drilling. Isn't it advisable to save those tests for later and keep them "p…
My copy finally arrived and I have one... probably irrational...question. I feel as though I have a really solid grasp on the LG. I know I can get better, but I am averaging -3 to -5 on the timed sections. I am somewhat worried about reading through…
I am ANXIOUSLY awaiting the arrival of my copy of The Trainer tomorrow. I'm in the middle of a preptest and blind review, but will jump on it as soon as I finish up with it. How long of a read is it?
I've never taken a class of his, but his podcast is excellent with a ton of good information. He does it with another LSAT teacher in DC, Ben Olson. They're both very knowledgeable about their trade. I'm sure taking a class from either one of them w…
Is that 8 new games a day with the fool proof method to perfection or are you just doing 8 games total a day? I think the number of games you do is goal dependent. Someone with a goal of perfection on the LG would have a higher daily requirement tha…
@nicole.hopkins This was a wondeful idea, but I have a question regarding exactly which questions to include. I'll take a timed test, print the exact test out, and take it again but untimed. Usually, a great deal of my mistakes on the timed version …
@JustDoIt I know the feeling. I'm battling the same thing. When I blind review, I take the test over again in its entirety. I spend more time on the questions that I originally circled, but taking the entire thing over again helps me reenforce the r…
In my honest opinion, you want everything the course has to offer. Aside from the fact that the PDF's might be going away, the explanations in their abundance are well worth what you will have to pay and even worth more. To me, the PT's, analytics a…
Would there be any case to go ahead and download all the problem sets too? I know the main cause for concern in this is the PT PDfs, but aren't the problem sets derivatives of PT 1-35?
