The general rule is to never erase anything because it is time consuming and eliminates our ability to reuse that information for future questions. Actually, it's bad for a whole host of other reasons too. So just don't erase lol. Small errors can b…
It will generally come from the context and depend on your translating the true meaning of a given statement. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any universal rule here.
"I can marry Susan or Beatrice tomorrow". With the reasonable assumption that I a…
Ditto to what @extramedium shared.
At this point, I miss very few questions in BR. So, timing is key. Skipping questions, circling and moving on -- these seem to be very important skills to develop if we want to score 165+. To that end, I share you…
@nnezeakwiwu21 I want to learn from you! What's your strength? What do you want to improve upon?
The secret of 7Sage is the decentralized teaching... JY is the man, but we all learn from each other via this tremendous community.
Hm. I can't say I've noticed anything particularly/regularly challenging about 19 specifically. However, in LR, the level of difficulty generally rises between 10-20 - though you can easily encounter a curvebreaker anywhere in the section.
When it …
I can relate to your LSAT struggle! I bounced around prep resources/classes leading into a test that I wasn't ready for, too. 7Sage offers a community which is unrivaled as far as I've seen and that has been the biggest factor in my improvement -- …
Hi Pink Dust. Ya gotta be thrilled with the increases you've already seen -- 136 to 154 is fantastic! And I'm also pretty jealous of your LG abilities lol.
I think the timing aspect really threw me off first time on the PT and I have been trying…
@Mellow_Z Sundays 7pm works fine for me, but I thought about it over the weekend and at this point I have the feeling that I should stick mainly to Oldies But Goodies (OBG). Like many of you, I am working in addition to my studies and need to plan m…
Really cool thoughts on the subject @AllezAllez21 . Thanks for sharing. I never thought of it in terms of reinforcing incorrect interpretations but I totally agree.
It is remarkable to see how, with 10-20 minutes of space, we can see the question i…
No effective law is unenforceable.
Idea 1: Effective Law - EL
Idea 2: Unenforceable - /F
Conditional Indicator: No - Group 4
Whichever idea we place in the necessary condition will be negated. So we are left with two options:
EL -> F or /F -…
@dennisgerrard You don't need to do anything in particular, but many of us use the PT being covered that week for our prep. Some people take the PT under timed, test day conditions, others drill it to pieces -- both are fine for the purposes of thes…
Got it. That was fun.
@"kimberlee.mcmillin" to be honest, I wouldn't draw a comparison between this game and LSAT LG. This isn't timed and there are no answer choices. But it does draw on the many of same skills needed for LG. I would say, however,…
Yeah I see what you're saying @Mellow_Z
Have you ever heard of "Stand Up" in the context of business teams? It's when a company blocks off an afternoon for team members to stand up and share what they learned/accomplished. I can see us having a "st…
I'm in this time frame and definitely interested to hear what you have in mind.
Are you wanting to just get weekly/bi-weekly calls to discuss questions? Or are you wanting to start the PT reviews every week? (it's probably too early for this, at…
My biggest weakness is abstract/referential phrasing. I think the only way to get better at these is to do a lot of them unfortunately.
I would go back through problem sets you have already done and practice not only identifying these things bu…
@extramedium Sometimes it's helpful to step away. Just give your brain some space from the problem. It's the same principle as skipping during timed sections: we just don't get it at that moment, but with some time and space upon our return it just …
@"Cant Get Right" Thanks for holding these sessions. Tonight was great and I appreciate the format of these sessions because it makes it much easier to fold into my weekly review.
rather than getting discouraged by a low actual score i became excited by a high blind review score.
You nailed it, man. The process you lay out speaks to so many important topics: BR = actual LSAT knowledge, managing discouragement with the he…
Based on my own experiences and the advice of Sages, I always recommend to take the test when you are ready. That means different things for different people. In your case, perhaps you will want to address the test-day-score-drop by increasing your …
@"surfy surf" Ah I see. So for you, it serves more as a "state of affairs" -- keeping track of weakness areas and the strategies you need to employ to address them?
OK it could be that I'm a little lazy and cranky because I haven't had my afternoon coffee yet, but has the PT for the upcoming Monday session been specified? I am assuming it is PT 18 but juuuust want to double check. Thanks! @"Cant Get Right"
@xtrfalcon sure thing. The lack of structure following the CC can be daunting. Luckily this forum is filled with really smart people who have been there and done that.
