@"Alex Divine" Well I would say that rest is absolutely necessary because the LSAT is asking you to apply a set of skills and interpret information in a particular way and because there's a certain threshold at which point you're not even thinking …
I also want to add that it took my friend 2 years to score a 179. They are now at YLS but they started practicing sophomore of college and by senior year were able to hit that score. It just goes to show you that sometimes you just have to focus on …
The concept of burnout is an illusion, IMO. Sure somedays of rest are incredibly beneficial but in reality sometimes you can push through the burnout and actually do better. It's such a subjective state of mind with such an arbitrary threshold for r…
@CurlyQQQ In my experience, and from what I've heard from other 7Sagers and my friend who scored a 179, it's actually highly recommended that you practice sections untimed especially logical reasoning. A lot of timed practiced tests done prematurely…
Well my friend who got a 179 reads the question first, but I think that it is ultimately about preference. I read the question first and find it works fine...given I'm not a 7sage but I usually get 5-3 wrong on LR.

@LSATcantwin and that's interesting...I never though about the negation technique in relation to strengthening questions. How exactly is it not useful and if it isn't useful on strengthening questions then how would it fair with weakening questions?
@LSATcantwin What I meant by LSAT success is not necessarily a function of time is that it's not necessarily about how many hours you put in a day as much as how much you're really putting into those hours. So 2-3 hours of intense concentration spac…
Ehhh. Those books are very one-size fits all and while some of the tips can be helpful online forums are much better. LSAT performance is not something you can buy...that being said are you correctly identifying the conclusion in certain questions? …
I've never understood how people sit outside with their laptops and study. The glare from the sun is just too overwhelming. There's also just a lot of places that feel incredibly uncomfortable and I don't understand how people study for hours criss …
Hang in there. I know the feeling...you're so myopically focused that recently even passages that you're normally able to understand and breakdown become mind-boggling. There's really just two ways to cure it: train through it, or take a break and c…
