@AllezAllez21 totally agree. It's a mini-exercise for RC MP. What is the purpose of this passage?
-
@nathanieljschwartz good question. One reason I suggested the week-long intensive is because Josh speaks about it in his webinar (which I was lucky enough to attend live) https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/. The …

Funny how we are all told "3 months and some PTs... you can score 165 as long as you're not dumb" and then we are told another set of potentially misleading guidance in 1L. Question everything; especially which sources of guidance to you trust.

Oddly enough, In/Out logic games helped me a lot in this area. Some of them (PT32.S3.G2) have gnarly conditional chains. I also translate and diagram everything I can find in BR. Even questions I got right. That's helped build up my "vision" and in…

Continue to look for them. Eventually, you'll spot the conclusion and premises automatically. Like when you are learning to drive, you have to remember to check your blind spot before changing lanes every time, but eventually it becomes second natur…

A few months ago, I attended an LR Crash Course with JY and a handful of others. I learned a lot about approaches to BR beyond the standard "Why is this right and why are all the others wrong". Perhaps incorporating these will be helpful for you. 1…

@jonkhan094 no stupid questions! They are different. Here is how @danielznelson explained a diversity statement "Diversity statements are usually about a quality you have that is underrepresented at law school and will thus add to the diversity…
-
I am also curious what you find difficult in this question type if not your logical understanding. There is a sizable gap between "understanding" and "mastery". It's the same gap between BR and timed scores on the LSAT. Perhaps this is the issue? Le…

oh nice! I might add PT01.S3.Q07 to this as well. I struggle with these two and will be drilling them soon. The book may be helpful, but I think the list of tricks the writers use with numbers/percentages is not so long. Maybe we can overcome them …

I will give a competing opinion to @hon132 . The most common reason we go "slow" on logic games is because we haven't memorized all the inferences, game setups, answering strategies, efficient drawing tactics, etc yet. Speed on games doesn't really…

should be here https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-explanations/

@shindavis16 After that, I have the next three session also ready to go. I am hoping to do each week a new session. The second one is on causal arguments, Maybe of interest to you...

I use my iphone whenever drilling simply because it's easiest. Especially with the lap feature if I am doing a games section. During PTs I have an analog watch with a rotating bezel.
-
@kimmy_m66 they are previously administered PTs -- no different in that regard. I believe the only difference is in the way they were released to the public. I could be wrong, but for PT 1-80, we know the actual test date they were given. That is no…

Personally, when a sentence contains "unless" I almost always find the negate-sufficient more intuitive because it seems to require very little alteration.

@danielznelson Sage status! Congrats
-
@"Dillon A. Wright" gotcha. Thanks for the info
-
@"Alex Divine" Another thing that helped me with LR is writing little maxims or rules for the questions I would get wrong. I wanted to do everything I could to ensure I wouldn't make the same mistakes twice. Sometimes it was as simple as just jo…

can you share that url? i've never even see that page!

Depends on what you intend to do after law school. UD is ranked #76 meaning it is a tier 2 school and likely could only provide regional job placement. The way I view school choice is a balance between potential tuition and job prospects. If you are…
-
Don't psych yourself out! You've got a great story to tell and the numbers to back it up! But I also wouldn't consider any school outside of T15 a bad school
-
do you mean you were getting 4/5 incorrect per section? Your post says 4/5 correct. And you just got 7/26 correct on PT 36? And also... elephant in the room... your user name
-
@"Alex Divine" Most people who prep for the LSAT only buy the last Actual 10 book (PTs 62-71) or so, maybe PTs 52-61... It's true. 1-80 plus ABC and whatever other stragglers exist are only just us degenerate LSAT hounds
-
@cal270 Yup.. just like @Freddy_D says. You can even apply before your current transcript is available, but the admissions groups likely won't open the application until it is complete with all transcripts.
-
Also, don't feel compelled to necessarily complete each and every question in the problem sets. The first run through the CC is a ton of information and you will almost certainly return to it again. The questions in the problem set are taken from 17…

@DumbHollywoodActor lol still thinking about your Yogi analogy. I wonder if LG will take the form of a stress reliever once I am finished with the LSAT. In the midst of blood sweat and tears of L1, just steal away 35 minutes to do a section of fun g…
-
@Zachary_P Preach! That is so true. Knowing we have 10-12 minutes for a game is a huge stress reliever. I also think that since harder games are either (1) the same as easy games except added levels of stuff (double layer sequencing + grouping or a …
-
@Kewlaidd lol yup! Such is the process. @TheLSAT With time and the right method, logic games become second nature. I can see the path to mastery from here. As Dave said above, the climb from -4 to -0 is likely to be a grueling and disproporti…

Nice. Thanks @Freddy_D
