@akeegs92 I used to be in the exact same position! I got stuck on the details and it was killing my time as well. It didn't help that inference questions were some of my worst (along with analogy questions). I pretty much stopped notating while re…

Congrats!!! That's awesome! Your breakthrough gives me hope. I'm in a similar position and I'm taking a PT today so I'm hoping all the drilling pays off. Thanks for posting this! We're gonna do great in June!

I wrote the main strategies that helped me get my RC timing down in this discussion thread: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/16198 But mostly it was being okay with not understanding every detail and instead focusing on the big-pi…

I don't even watch GOT but this is hilarious!

Congrats!! I had a lot of fun during your RC sessions last year! Hope you continue to stay active here and update us on your 1L journey!

You can have a comparative statement with a conditional (so it could be both), but I would actually say that the first premise isn't really a conditional statement. Just because people agree something doesn't make it fact, as you point out. If we ha…

Hey there! (Edit: Oops, realized I'd need to include an obligatory wall-of-text warning. Sorry, this got wordy, lol!) I understand your worry, but honestly, 3-5 minutes is completely normal. Depending on the game I'd even say that's fast, especial…

Hey there -- I totally understand the stress and the frustration of feeling like you're not improving. I think everyone else here has given you some solid advice so I don't have much to add. But I wonder if you might benefit from taking a break? I d…

I personally haven't found 5-star questions to be particularly different conceptually from "easier" question -- often it's just that the stimulus is more confusing, more cleverly worded, has more distracting fluff, or conversely, the ACs are harder …

@AudaciousRed said: @"Habeas Porpoise" , what method did you finally use to get your better RC scores? I did a few things (lots of trial and error, lol): Stopped writing while reading the passage. I read a lot, but the only time I used to…

I'm a huge fan of JY's approach. I read Passage A, then go through the questions and cross off/answer whatever I can, before moving on to Passage B and finishing up. I recommend trying both and seeing which method makes you feel more comfortable wi…

It's a qualified "unlimited" in that 2-3 tests is perfectly normal and there's no waiting period to take tests. Like you said, schools seem to look at the highest score and the only place I can think of that seems to prefer one test score is Yale. …

Congrats on a fantastic test score! If you haven't already I highly recommend watching this webinar: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/ Specifically, confidence drilling and test writer reviews might prove he…

Congrats on the breaking 170! My small victory has been getting my RC under -2 for the past two PTs (49 and 80). RC used to be my best section but it became my worst later in my prep and I was having wild fluctuations that were killing my score. So…

I actually participated in the Beta (just to check it out 'cause I was curious --- the program is made jointly with the LSAC), but I was honestly not a fan. It doesn't hold a candle to 7Sage. I'm not allowed to share details until the June 1st publi…

@"Creative Username" Seems like you already got your answer, but I thought I'd add my two-cents. I usually take tests in coffee shops (for the noise, to get myself better at re-centering when I get distracted), and I started using headphones after …
-
I want to just echo what @ElleWoods77 said -- studying for this test will likely get stressful at times, and having the wrong people around you can really compound that stress. On the flip side, having supportive friends, both those who are taking a…

Congrats! That's awesome!

@demiiisodaaa said: @"Habeas Porpoise" can I ask how long it took you from PT'ing in high 150s/low 160s to PT'ing in high 160s? I scored for the first time in the mid-160s a little less than two months after the CC. After that I've been cons…

@Micolash said: @"Habeas Porpoise" said: Completely agree -- I'm also one of those people hoping to offset my comparatively low GPA with a high LSAT score. I didn't make the best decisions my freshman year of university, and while …

I definitely think improvement comes from BRing and learning from your mistakes, but the core curriculum is an important foundation, as is fool-proofing for LG. I believe timing strategies also play a part once you start scoring 160+. Personally, I…

@Micolash said: @LSAT_Wrecker said: As a splitter slowly inching to my target shiney LSAT score, this is frustrating. Logically I know schools are not going to dump the LSAT completely, but why does this change have to happen the …

I just graduated last year, so my situation might be different, but I was doing a full-time internship while going through the CC -- working from 7:30am - 3:30pm before coming home and studying for most of the evening and sleeping around 11 or 12pm.…

@"Return On Inference" said: Yeah I do 4 section PTs. I haven't figured out a way to do 5 section PTs without robbing myself of some aspect of the exam. If I create my own 5 section PTs, then I end up knowing which is the experimental as well …
-
Oh yeah, there are some tricky LR questions (esp. flaw questions) that play on this idea of proportional vs. absolute change. Let's say that we talked to every single person in City A (the entire population) in two separate years and asked them whe…

I thought I wasn’t as active this month thank you!!!

@Hamaseh_S said: Also as I'm writing this I'm like damn is it normally to be building my life around one test... For a test this important, I think it's understandable, lol. I'm also studying full-time! I haven't really set a complete daily…
