@nader.parham Sure thing!
-
@nader.parham Time pressure can do that to you. How about some type of marking system? Maybe you can draw a star, triangle, or something that isn't already "taken" next to your local questions. That way when your eyes glance over them, you'll think,…

Yes, at the very least purchase the starter package. One thing to bear in mind is that even if you end up having to purchase the PT explanations for the easier-to-obtain PTs separately, your total will likely be lower than most of the other prep co…

I've done something similar. But, instead of writing it down, I just remind myself that local diagrams can be used to answer the "global" questions.

What @Alejandro said. Whatever you do, don't try to study using books and 7Sage concurrently. If 7Sage doesn't work for you (and I don't know why it wouldn't!) then read The Trainer.
-
Yup, they're no longer available. I can't imagine paying over $20 for a single test. No matter how I twist it, I can't seem to figure out what was going on through the LSAC members' minds when they decided to ban the PDFs.

The sad truth about RC is the only way to improve, is to keep practicing. Let me qualify that. Your score on RC will only improve with practice. However, there are things that you want to look out for in RC, and methods that you can implement. Here…

@"Cant Get Right" pretty much covered everything. The way I see it, every lesson taught on 7Sage is taught in order to provide you with additional tools to add to your LSAT toolbox. Some of these tools are absolutely necessary, and some may not be. …
-
@stepharizona Nailed it. Ideally, you want to take as many PTs as possible. Many of the 170+ scorers state that they exhausted all of the available PTs by the time test day rolled around. It's worth noting that the LSAT hasn't changed much over the…

I was informed that your face in the image should look as close to "test-day" you as possible. If you don't intend on shaving, be sure to grow out your beard before taking the picture. Sounds pretty silly...now I have to shave before test day! I wo…

You might be overthinking it. Take your final example, for example. Yes, given the principle one can still be angry at someone who did in fact clean their room. However, logically speaking they would not be angry with them for cleaning their room. …
-
Diagramming the third idea would be redundant, as "go to the park" is implicitly diagrammed. You're esentially keeping the idea in the back of your mind. "If not Alan, then Chris" is what you would put on paper. But, in your mind you translate that …
-
@Mookittyy That's the first thought that crossed my mind.
-
I felt that TM was nice. The instructor was great, but I wasn't making the progress that I had hoped for prior to signing up. 7Sage takes a different approach. One that I believe is more efficient and worked exceptionally well for me. The nice thin…

@"Cant Get Right" and @"Nicole Hopkins" have motivated me to celebrate with alcoholic beverages. Not a big fan of wine or champagne...so I will be taking a shot of vodka for every milestone reached. Would anyone like to donate a bottle of Stoli Elit…
-
Once you've developed a strong understanding of the LR section, you'll realize that the question stem becomes somewhat trivial. Now that's not to say that you should ignore the Q-stem...don't ever do that! What I'm saying is, most LR question could…
-
Take another practice test, under optimal but realistic conditions and see how you do. In other words, take a PT on your day off, at around 12, in a quiet room. You would be hard-pressed to find a 7Sager who would recommend taking the test before y…

@"Cant Get Right" said: My friends shouldn't be allowed to have nice things. And preventing that from happening is all the motivation I need. Here's a little more motivation: It would be devastating to find out that you busted your butt studying o…
-
@jennilynn89 Yes, do it! You may also want to try studying during your breaks at work. Also keep in mind that no schedule is set in stone. Set up a schedule with what you have, and change it if you need to.
-
@twssmith Hahaha truth be told, I think I would thank you for that ! @sweetsecret Keep at it! You're almost there. In all seriousness, I'll probably jump in on the Sunday group that's taking place two weeks from now. That way I at least get a tas…
-
@"Cant Get Right" Haha, that he is. I should be jumping in very soon though.
-
@"Accounts Playable" said: For parallel reasoning questions, I always think about the poor guy who had to write 4 lengthy wrong answer choices, and if it were me writing the question, I'd make the test taker have to sift through A-D first. They do…
-
Ugh, so bummed that I keep missing the BR groups. Can't waste those precious PTs until I've nailed LG and RC!
-
First off, I hope you're feeling better! Next, think long-term, not short-term. When you think short-term, all you're doing is thinking about a score that you want to reach. However, when you think about your target school, dream job, etc. you'll b…
-
Congrats buddy! Like @"Cant Get Right" implied, enjoy that score but now's not the time to get complacent. Keep busting your butt. When my friends ask me how they should go about studying for a standardized test, I always tell them, "Aim for Harvar…
-
Incredible improvement, especially considering you're an ESL student. Bravo, and congrats on getting into your top school!
-
For June, you may as well PT and fool proof. If you're sitting the September or December administration, I would stop PTing altogether until you are solid on LG. Unfortunately, I had to do the same thing recently. Prior to the curiculum I was doing…
-
@stepharizona Yup, that's exactly why I do it. I figure if I'm just going to guess, I better have some reason not to beat myself up about guessing incorrectly...just sayin'
-
It would just be "many." With most terms, negating them can be done simply by relying on intuition. For instance, if someone walks up to you and says "Not many people go to this school" and you know that they are wrong, what would you say? Probably…

Drill the games and RC a little more...but don't neglect LR. Ideally you should be scoring in the 160-165 range if you're aiming for a 162. But hey, you never know...that adrenaline rush that everyone talks about might just be your saving grace.
