The nice thing about games is, once you've developed a strong understanding of how they work, you can pretty much go into cruise control and do well. That said, I certainly wouldn't "BS" my way through a game section. I like to think of the games l…

You're certainly on the right track! I give this advice to everyone: Come up with a plan of attack for the LSAT, execute it, and see where you're scoring after you've completed the curriculum. Study and PT until you've scored your target score (the …

If there is even a slight chance that taking on that internship would potentially drop your score by even a single point, don't take it. You have plenty of internships under your belt as it is.

What is it about conditional logic that you're having trouble with?

I take my vitamins, get a little extra sleep, drink plenty of water, and work out more - all of which seem to greatly reduce the duration of my colds. I do my best to push through and study as much as I can. If my body gives me the "no-go" I call i…

@Lsat Student it's not just that it's frowned upon, but it's counterintuitive. A solid LOR will often be one where the professor is able to gloat about you. How can a professor who doesn't know you very well highlight your achievements? To the OP:…

I'm pretty sure every school accepts December scores (if anyone knows otherwise, please correct me). You should be fine. As @montaha.rizeq stated, don't register for September unless you are currently ready to take the test in September.
-
Congrats on upgrading! There really isn't much advice to offer, but here is what I would do: 1) Go through the core curriculum (in other words, the "lessons"). Since you have the Ultimate+ package, post lesson completion you should do 1 easy, 1 med…

I like to focus on acquiring a general understanding of each paragraph, then, of the passage as a whole. I focus on a few things: 1) Lists - did the author list a few things? If so, there's probably a question that'll try to trip me up with said lis…

I've been studying for about a year, so I'm at the point where it's much more beneficial for me to not adhere to a preset schedule. That said, figure out what you need to get done before your test date, and follow a schedule if it allows you to get …

Your problem seems to be timing. I'm the same way. The best way to combat this issue is to drill timed sections. Work on skipping strategies; know when it's time to cut your losses and move on, understand that coming back to a stimulus with a fresh …
-
@montaha.rizeq Sort of. I used to take either Saturday or Sunday off. Your brain is like a muscle, if you keep "using" it without rest, it'll eventually give out (not literally...at least I hope not). Now that the September test is just north of 2 m…

Review the NA portion of the curriculum, do a few of the problem sets (or redo if you've done them all), then drill entire LR sections. What helps me on NA questions is saying the following right before starting, "What is the author assuming in ord…

I skimmed the RC bible, wasn't too impressed. Nothing against PS, but I felt as if though they thought of all of the "well duh" information, tossed it into a book, and added it to their trilogy. If you want to improve on RC, do RC. Focus on passage…

It changes daily, but my "everyday" routine is as follows: 8:00 - Wake up, get out of bed 8:15 - Eat breakfast, drink coffee or take caffeine tab 8:30 (Monday, Wednesday, Friday): Hit the gym 9:45: Start studying 8:30 (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday,…

I've heard good things about it. Never used one personally. I find it more convenient to use one of my good quality watches since I know they are incredibly reliable. Set the minute hand to 12 and note that 6 is the 5 minute mark, and 7 is when time…
-
@runiggyrun pretty much covered it. When they say "challenges the accuracy of the evidence" it often looks like the author is attacking the premise. In the example above, Mary attacks John's statistics (i.e. 90% is NOT accurate).
-
Wait, have you tried drilling a section yet? If not, do so. Find out if you're in the -1/-2 range. If you're short on time, drill LG sections. If you're nowhere near your target range, fool proof those 4 games that you just drilled. Then, repeat wit…
-
First off, congrats on nearly finishing the curriculum and managing to get time off work. Start by taking a PT. I like to call the first post-curriculum PT "Diagnostic #2." BR the PT as per the instructions here. Figure out what your weaknesses are…
-
Don't be concerned, not because the PT is relatively "old" but because it's just one PT. You may have had an off day, or maybe that PT was ridden with questions that you tend to struggle with. Either way, figure out why you did poorly, and combat th…

@"Cant Get Right" pretty much covered it. If you've only done a few, you should be fine. Prior to 7Sage, I took another prep course. Unfortunately, said course had many of us PTing before we were even ready (we could have opted out, but I was still …
-
It's incredible. The price isn't too good to be true. 7Sage doesn't have to overpay a bunch of instructors to teach lessons, nor do they rely on heavy advertising. What they save ends up saving their students some cash (p.s. 7Sage staff, feel free t…
-
Nope, I typically split when I deem it an appropriate path to take. A few things that I look for: 1) Given what I know, are there only a few possible worlds? If so, it's often worth splitting the board. 2) If I do split, will whatever I am using to …

@twssmith said: @"Ron Swanson" said: I often find that when I hit a patch of tough Qs in the high teens #s, it helps me to turn to the end of the section and work back. Sometimes seeing the fresh page and crushing some of the easier Qs that get tu…

Memorizing the inferences is exactly that, memorize the inferences shown in the video and remember how J.Y. got to them. 1. Do I still read the background info above the rules each time I do a clean copy? Or do I skip down to the rules? Yes, each…

Suits, and from the few scenes I've seen from My Cousin Vinny, I'm sure it too would make the list.

Think of negations like you would if someone asked you to provide them with the opposite of a given statement. 1)The Fine arts would be more highly developed now if they had been given greater governmental subsidies in the past. The fine arts woul…

Congrats June winners!
-
@Coolmama09 Yeah, some of us just get the OCD bug right after PTing and feel that we need to watch the video for every single question . Just remember, that additional time spent reviewing what you already know could be spent learning what you do no…

Try taking a timed section while dehydrated. Then do the same while hydrated...you'll probably notice an incredible difference. Thanks for posting that article, it was an interesting read.
