  • LMAO where do they get off teaching stuff like that? To me that's just meant to encourage retakes to get more money on the backside... Shady...
  • No problem. If your diagnostic is in the 160s and you can spare 10-20 hours per week when needed, then it might be doable. If you're much under that then it's likely going to take a larger investment in time. As long as you're open to both possibili…
  • Your argument is flawed in that my original answer was more concise, on topic, and in no way disrespectful. It seems like you were just looking for validation of what you wanted to do and were going to do regardless of the advice given. I've given y…
  • Have you started studying yet? If not, I'd say what's the rush? You're lucky to have what sounds like a job that sustains a living so if say hang onto that and shoot for June with September and December of next year to fall back on. If your schedule…
  • I understand that, and I didn't become a mentor by being an asshole to people. I spend a lot of my free time helping people in these forums with a variety of issues and I'm one of the most easy going people you'll find on here and I joke around a lo…
  • Eventually people are able to put it together after the fact but you won't be able to tell in the heat of the moment. If you get a double LG and one was super easy then that was probably the experimental, but it's best not to get too wrapped up in s…
  • just skip ahead a bit and join us for a Wednesday/Saturday call
  • The work of Mike Kim: http://www.thelsattrainer.com/
  • I don't really see what about my post was disrespectful or even in disagreement with anything... you asked a question and I answered it for you. And furthermore, if you're going to quote him and say that saying that wasn't a waste of his time, then …
  • ohhhhh... I thought it was Italian...
  • @guitarnara Are you like marinara sauce but made out of a guitar?
  • @guitarnara said: having a 180 BR score does mean that you have all the necessary tools to make it happen. Except possibly the tool where you can do it quickly.
  • Just go in order... It's easier to keep track of everything and there is a logical progression to it... Why would you pay for a service like this and then not use it as it is presented the first time through? They obviously put a lot of hard work an…
  • Definitely just go here and give a listen to the recordings: http://classic.7sage.com/free-lsat-prep-tools/
  • No... burn them... get the Trainer if you need anything else besides 7Sage...
  • As far as I know, all of the difficulty ratings in the analytics are based off of the data from 7Sage users being pushed through 7Sage's algorithms for ranking difficulty. @"Dillon A. Wright" might be able to shed some more light on this, unless it'…
  • I got a 35minutes watch and I also have a regular analog watch. I don't know what to expect from my testing center because I think it's their first time, so it could be a little crazy. If I have to use a wall clock I'll do that.
  • I think if you BR on a different day than you take the PT, and then have a third day for some light drilling it should be enough if you're planning to take a year off and are shooting for next June. It was unclear from your original post if you are …
  • That's a good sign since it means you have a higher ceiling to reach. When I first started PTs my differential was way too low because I was doing BR on the same copy I had just taken and found it very difficult to ever justify changing my answers s…
  • Also, while the major groups are pretty much the same across different resources, once you get to the secondary and tertiary types you'll see a difference in how things are classified.
  • Generally flaw questions will be the most frequent, but it will vary from section to section. I've seen some that were more heavy on S/W and some that were more heavy on NA/SA. Once you get into doing full PTs and look at the analytics you'll see ho…
  • And as I alluded to before and @DumbHollywoodActor mentioned, the memory method is more for people who struggle to retain the information they read in a time efficient manner so I think it could actually help you if it is taking you that long to rea…
  • 7 minutes is pretty excessive for just getting through the passage. That's more than a minute per 10 lines. If it takes you that long then you should have full comprehension and easily be able to get all of the questions correct. I would maybe take …
  • I actually think it's not necessary to alternate the order since the rest of the test alternates anyways. I just do the extra section first and I think the idea of scoring the extra section as a full PT after four tests will help to ensure you're d…
  • Going through the curriculum should help you in addressing all these issues. If you get through the first half of the curriculum and still have issues then let us know.
  • No solid date yet... They're working on it...
  • Are you using 7Sage or anything else? There are several helpful sections in the curriculum starting with the arguments section. If the stimulus is just a series of facts that are not trying to persuade you of anything then that is usually the bigges…
  • I don't know where you're getting 4 hours from... With a 15 minute break it only takes 2 hours and 35 minutes to take a PT. I'd say just do 1 per week with an excellent BR and you shouldn't find it too strenuous.
  • I like that last idea... I'll have to try that out...
