Forget your gap it literally has nothing to do with your performance on the LSAT. Then forget your diagnostic because it has literally nothing to do with your performance on the LSAT. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and just get to work on the curri…

If you were burned out by your diagnostic then 1 PT/day is going to burn you out super fast. It also sounds like you need more work on fundamentals and relying just on PTs isn't going to reinforce those of they're not top notch to begin with. Furthe…

I tend to shy away from absolute rules like this because so much is question/situation dependent. If you get in the habit of ignoring context then it will come back to hurt you when you needed it. The important thing is just to develop the ability t…

That was because of the pdf ban. There is no release date or price point for the Ultimate+ as far as I have seen.
-
Almost every passage is between 55-65 lines so there aren't really any passages that are longer, some just have more questions and some just have questions with more text... Skipping around is just inviting bubbling errors and shorter passages may e…

I don't think it makes a big difference for RC because the passages aren't long enough for differences in reading speed to make a huge difference. Speed reading a novel might help you finish several minutes or even hours before a slower reader, but …
-
For the most part yes, if it's a really crazy dense or otherwise difficult passage I may thread certain parts but never spend more than 3 minutes... If it's still not working for me then I use the questions to gain a deeper understanding. This appro…
-
I use the former but I don't skim, I read about 30 lines per minute so I finish the average passage in right around 2 minutes give or take 10-15 seconds. For easy passage I can then fly through the questions so I can finish everything in under 8 min…
-
While I think your approach is on the extreme side, if you can handle it then go for it. I personally prefer the most recent 40 PTs for timed tests and the rest for drilling and adding 5th sections to timed PTs. The only thing I would definitely mod…

Just go in order and you'll be fine. You need to learn to delay gratification a bit so don't start blowing through all the fun LG stuff, you'll need it later to break up the LR/RC monotony.
-
I'm a fan of jumping around to get a taste for the variations in the newer ones. I would also stress quality over quantity when it comes to PTs. Yes you want to do as many as possible, but that doesn't mean you should be rushing through them in orde…

This message is for all Canadians: If you only need a 160, just keep PTing and build up your analytics, drill the problem areas, and make sure your LG skills are on point... that is all.
-
Just keep plowing through the Trainer and keep PTing as you get later in the book, it's really great for flaws so it should help. Try and get on some group BR calls so you can have the opportunity to review the whole test in more depth.
-
I think 7Sage's breakdown of under 35 for drilling and 36+ for PTs is much more sensible because it maximizes the amount of full PT you can take.
-
Yeah I don't think the place I'm taking the October LSAT has ever administered one before. I keep thinking I'll end up with either 30 or 40 minutes depending on which way their incompetence goes.
-
Early decision with a low score will likely get you dinged completely. And outside of NU and a couple other schools, early decision is by far the worst decision you could make because it takes away your leverage for scholarship negotiation in exchan…
-
Take a few more before you start the Trainer so you can build your analytics. Keep your eyes on the prize as motivation because you really shouldn't be getting fatigued from 20-30 hours per week. Whenever I get sick of LR and RC I dive into a bunch …
-
Some people have diagnostics in the 99th percentile, but that is extremely rare and even if you have a 160+ diagnostic on an older test doesn't mean that will translate to success in the 70s. There is no substitute for hard work and dedication.
-
Oh, I didn't realize you were looking for the lazy person's guide to 7Sage. Sorry we haven't written that yet. I'm sure @nicole.hopkins could put something together for you, she's very tech-savvy. Personally I like to get my arms more exercise so I …
-
Also, never leave bubbles empty. If you have less than a minute left and there are bubbles empty, go ahead and fill them in and hope you can have at least a 20% success rate on those. It's just a good habit to develop so you leave nothing blank on t…
-
What do you mean by "sometime back"? Was this before you finished the curriculum? It takes 3-5 PTs to really get a good feel for where you're really at since you only get better at taking PTs by taking PTs (getting better at answering individual que…
-
Yeah this isn't Kaplan or Princeton Review... This stuff here is real!
-
Yeah that's my plan so I would recommend it to others. Try and get in on some group BR as well if you haven't yet.
-
Definitely take the diagnostic just to get a baseline. Then do the whole curriculum in order, start PTs and then use the Trainer to supplement your weak areas.
-
7Sage is 36+ for PTs... Since you need something to drill with you should use 1-35 for that... You don't want to PT those because they aren't as representative of the current test but can still be of use for drilling. If I were you I would go throug…
