@drbrown2 said: It’s based on 7Sage user data for those questions/sections So that means how users have scored on the questions, right? And not them self-reporting the difficulty.
-
I came to 7Sage after already routinely scoring in the mid 170s but having bombed on exam day (167, about 7 pts below what I was averaging). I took a year off from studying after that exam, and when I came back to study this go-round (I will take th…

Try taking an espresso shot before your power nap. Wake up 20-30 mins later and you'll feel great.
-
I'm curious, are you mostly referring to LG here, or other sections as well?
-
Meditation has helped me as well. I think the best (albeit obvious) tip is just repetition. Each time you take a PT, try to identify what the biggest mistake you made was. Did you misread question stems because you felt so much pressure you were ru…

For RC: try being more confident. I've noticed in the latest PTs that there are many more questions where the correct answer just isn't a great one. RC used to be a ton of info thrown at you, with relatively easy-ish questions. It was really just th…

bumping this point in case other people have additional views/input to share -- I'm scoring comfortably in the 170s now but sometimes find myself pressed for time in RC. Do people actually save time to go back and review their answers during a RC se…

2 hours is a lot. Don't overthink the warm up, as its impact on your score pales in comparison to the hours upon hours of prep work you've done. Just do something like 1 RC passage, 1 Game, and 5-10 LR questions. You could do a bit more than that, b…

@CantStopWontStop said: How often do you practice RC? I find it’s waaaay easier to practice LG and LR. It might be the case where you just have to do it more. This very well may be true. Certainly I practice LR more since there are two secti…

@"Lucas Carter" Thanks very much! Specifically, I'm looking to improve on RC, though that also seems like the section which is most difficult to make improvement in.... in LG and LR I usually get no more than 1 or 2 wrong in a section, but in RC my …

I can go

@2ndTimestheCharm Do whatever works for you, but to be honest, I think it is VERY important that you make sure to have some "fun" nights between now and June 3. I've taken this exam once before and, looking back, I think I suffered a little mental b…

@2ndTimestheCharm sure, I'm in

Thanks very much @skhan012018

I am often an advocate of taking on debt for the chance to go to a substantially better school. Since you used "T10", I'm assuming it's outside of the HYS/CCN echelon, and therefore would be a school ranked 7-10. So, in many cases, I'd say shoot for…

@BlindReviewer said: ...I think burnout can be more a state of mind than how much tangible work you're putting in -- things like anxiety over the test, other things going on in your life, etc... Agreed - this is a good point.

@2021lawschool said: Congratulations! May I ask how long have you been practicing to get the perfect LR score? I am trying to improve from my diagnostic of 145 and LR is also the most difficult part for me. Thank you in advance! Not sure how…

Continue to PT at least once per week under exam conditions. Could do twice if feasible and you want to. After you PT, identify where you seem weakest, then drill some of those sections throughout the coming week. If you seem to struggle with certai…

@"Leah M B" said: If these schools are only so-so on employment, then having the least debt is the best plan. I would also look very carefully at where they place graduates too. If you are dead-set on working in a specific region, then it is a…

@BlindReviewer said: I've read somewhere that the book is amazing but more helpful for those new to LR as opposed to those who are already really familiar with LR. Is this true? Considering checking it out! I think that's true for so many al…

There certainly will be variation in your score test-to-test, particularly so early on. 6 points is not that big of a variation. That being said, I think the early tests are easier overall, though not by much. The RC is definitely easier, and I thi…

@2ndTimestheCharm I am down for this evening or next.
-
No need to go back through the CC for everything -- just focus on those areas where you know you are weak. If that's all of LR for example, okay then maybe go through all of the LR in the CC. But if you know there are some questions you tend to do v…

I'll likely be just about to turn 26 when I start.
-
Focusing on older LG is totally fine, older LR is alright, but I wouldn't spend any time looking at older RC.
-
Yes a 170 is completely realistic.
-
I don't want to give you a cheesy cop out answer..... but I really do think it is entirely personal preference of how you want to represent the rule. Just use whichever method feels most natural when you encounter that situation in a game -- I would…
-
@jessicace hmmm... two a week sounds like enough to me provided you are also doing a few additional sections throughout the week. I think that recording yourself might be a large amount of time for a small payoff - I am sure there are benefits to b…

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I disagree that you need to go through every single lesson in the CC if you have already spent some time studying the exam before coming to 7Sage and are in a slight time crunch (speaking from experience). If yo…
