I'm sorry to hear that you guys got a difficult test, particularly with the retro LG. Hopefully, the equating will allow for more incorrect answers per score.

I tried explaining this in an earlier post. JY also added the link there. http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/433/diagramming-conditional-within-conditional

I devoted one of my days prepping to doing only RC. I used RC from tests I had taken. Even if I remembered the topic, I didn't recall the amount of detail to answer the questions. So I felt it was still worthwhile drilling.

Don't feel bad postponing till June. Invest the time and earn that higher mark.

Yes, it is accepted not to do LSAT prep the day before the actual test. I can share my experience. I didn't do any LSAT prep the day before; nothing at all. I even tried to forbid anyone from mentioning the LSAT. I watched sports most of the day an…

I took off the day before the test and watched sports. It was a relaxing day. I even tried to forbid my family from mentioning the LSAT. Whenever it would creep into my thoughts, I would tell myself that I was ready for the test and excited at the o…

I didn't take the 7Sage curriculum so I can't answer your questions. But don't worry about remembering everything. As you practice and implement the techniques you'll develop a repeatable method. It will hopefully become natural and instinctive, not…

Keep up the good work. I wish you success on the test. Regarding guessing, you should stick with one letter whichever you choose.

I wouldn't guarantee a 10 point improvement after each rest day. But it is important to take a day off to prevent burn-out. Also, sometimes it helps to give ideas time to settle and take hold instead of immediately pursuing something else. If you'r…

I'll go easy on you. Welcome to this community! Good luck in whatever path you take.
-
Ya, the comparative reading isn't bad. But the expectations are higher on the new RC. The questions demand greater understanding of the passage and inferences.
-
I think I noticed the repetitions in the early tests as well. But don't get too caught up in these trends - the LSAT writers are just trying to mess around. They don't get much excitement in their jobs. This is their fun.
-
I brought a watch to the test but didn't use it because there was a clock on the wall. I didn't rely so much on the clock in the end, though. After taking many tests you kind of have a rhythm and are familiar with your pace. The proctor announces wh…

Generally, the newer PTs have slightly easier LR, much easier LG, and more difficult RC. As to whether a person finds the newer tests easier or not, it depends on where his strengths lie.

Great idea and great work. Keep it up!
-
I probably did it in around 4 minutes, if I recall correctly. I don't think it's a very good approach, but it's worth a try. I think I would read it all again the second time. I was trying it as a reaffirmation type of reading, hoping the familiarit…

I used to reduce time. Not 30; more like 33. I think it helped, not so sure. I remember taking a day off to work solely on RC. Printed out a huge stack of RC I had done, and reread them, beginning without a clock and then with. I was hoping the pa…

Okay, let us sever this analogy. We'll take Peyton Manning's career instead. A classy quarterback who has many wins still in him.

The good news is that for all those discouraged, we are joined now by the Broncos. Hopefully, come the second half, they will pull through, and so will those taking the LSAT.

I don't have access to videos so I can't comment about the videos. But for review in general, besides going over the incorrect answers, you should review the ones you had doubts about, even if they were correct. The questions you were confident abo…

I would phrase the contrapositive by beginning at the opposite end, by negating the second conditional. It would be a bit abstract in this case: If we are discussing a case where you can owe one person, but not both, and apology --> then we canno…

I hear how the 'only conclusion' threw you off. LSAT is probably avoiding terming it 'sub-conclusion' because it's not very argumentative. The first sentence is arguing a point: pesticides is counter-productive. The additional use of pesticides is m…

As you noted, three weeks of crashing is the crucial issue. If the February test is irrevocable, I'd focus on LG since it's easiest to improve. With the restriction of time, your scores are very good. Some score higher than their average on the act…
-
Remind yourself of the score you've been receiving over all your practice tests. Tell yourself that you will just do what you've been doing all your prep, and naturally you will get your score. View it as an opportunity to actualize your potential…

I can offer some generic advice but it would probably be most helpful to give tailored advice to your study approach and difficulties. Feel free to message me. I hope I can help.

Man, I totally remember all these thoughts and worries. It'll be fine. It's really just another test. After all the Prep, an LSAT test is just a typical day. (That's probably why I have this LSAT withdrawal.) If I can help in any way, please let me …

My habit was to bubble whenever turning pages. In RC and LG, pages turn at the end of each section (1 passage, 1 game). As for filling, I was also a bit paranoid. I filled them fully; it takes less than a second. I also double checked to make sure I…

Depends on the law school. Some take the higher, some the average.
-
Thanks. That's good, at least for the LSAT. It requires a degree of isolated dedication.
-
I definitely agree to focus on the weaker points. But I think LG, not LR, has the most potential for growth. I've said this many times in this forum, the LSAT has fundamental things which are repeated in each test. In LG it is the easiest to see, …
