Great job! It is definitely a psychological hurdle to get past, now it's just a matter of developing that consistency.

I'd agree with everything @c.janson35 said and just emphasize the importance of your BR. I would try to work quickly but carefully through the 7Sage curriculum in order to reinforce your fundamentals, and mix in some drilling and PTs along the way (…

This is great advice here and I think if you need an example of this at work, take a look at a handful of main point RC questions. You'll usually get a good mix of true and false statements, the former of which will often be the main point of a sing…

Most people will likely say we need more information to help you in a more effective manner. Was 160 your diagnostic or is that where you're plateauing after six months? What did you use to study? How many PTs have you taken? How much do you study p…

Yeah the only people I knew that did well with Kaplan also did extensive self study with other resources and studied for close to a year total so I don't think Kaplan was what got them into the 175+ range.

Step 1: record yourself chewing many different types of gum. Step 2: ??????? Step 3: Profit!

May I ask why you are asking this? Where are you completing questions that you don't know where they are from?

I would avoid encouraging or offering the use of templates to a recommended as it makes for a more pedestrian recommendation. Any professor should be at least somewhat well versed in writing an LOr, as should any professional. I would not ask someon…

I do them in the book but I think there are people who do it both ways. Whatever works best for you is the way to go. I'd say copying is less work than erasing later on but that's just me. I don't plan to need to use the booklet I got more than once…

Go read Spivey's thread on TLS... There's a lot of great info on there and this question has been addressed countless times. And in my opinion the 66 people ahead of you is BS... I don't know what school this is but AFAIK most schools do not hard ra…

Yeah people that have read even a decent variety of college level stuff and above should have few problems, but without that foundation, reading The Economist is not going to get you there. The only reason to read that or Science/Nature/New Yorker i…

"Here's one about our favorite subject - synesthesia:" This thread smells great! :P

I think JY really does a great job with his bridging/blocking analysis and the more I keep those in mind and pair it with the negation test, the more successful I am during PTs. When I get away from those ideas I tend to wing it in an overconfident …

If you have that small a window to study and haven't even gotten your fundamentals down by this point then I think October is generally unrealistic. Of course, if your diagnostic was a 155 and you need a 160 then you could probably pull that off. An…

Yeah as long as there are no typos in the formal logic you're good... I wish my research methods prof understood that. His lecture on Boolean logic was riddle with typos that made it completely nonsensical and useless.
-
Not to be that guy but 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, and 51 is six tests... But your point still stands :P
-
@"Jonathan Wang" @DumbHollywoodActor and @c.janson35 are all absolutely correct. The fundamentals will lead to solving most timing issues. And timing strategies are definitely a crutch, but I think they have one important role in at least the beginn…

If you fully digest and understand the Trainer you should be able to get a 160 pretty easily. Notice I said "fully digest and understand", and not "went through" or "read". I've had friends who did live Kaplan instruction and ran the gamut of low to…

Good choice, I haven't seen the older one but it sounds like it was cleaned up a bit with some good proofreading/editing. I had been hesitant to get it because the bad reviews were talking about errors on every page in that edition but I'm glad I to…

It's the LSAT... Nobody cares where you take it as long as it was administered in an official capacity. AFAIK, unpublished test centers only affect what you will get back afterwards. Don't sweat it, military personnel do this stuff all the time.
-
It sounds like an issue with both. It's one thing to not get to the last two or three questions but if you're barely getting halfway through a section then obviously the first 10 questions are not as easy for you as you think they are. You're spendi…

When I was doing the curriculum I was getting in about 6-8 hours a day M-F, now it's all over the place as I'm finishing my masters. When I picked up the Trainer I was doing about 4-5 hours a day and now I'm probably down to like 1-2 on average, whi…
-
It's only a handful of PTs so I'd say don't worry about them for now since you may not get through everything else anyways. I also recommend skipping around a bit to get a feel for newer tests earlier on so its not as big a hit to your score when th…

There is no magic on this test, and if you ever start to think that then they've got you right where they want you.
-
If you're a URM you could get at least half the T14 with what you have...and likely a few if you're not... Was your average a 173 or was that your highest score? What was the average of your 3-5 most recent PTs before the test? A third retake will …

Skipping around is the best!

The proctor whose watch is broken but will still use it to keep time, to either your great detriment or great benefit.

Cool! Thanks for the tutorial @emli1000

Not sure if saying that violates the TOS for 7Sage but I wouldn't make a habit of encouraging aspiring lawyers to engage in illegal activity. Furthermore, if that is your real name I definitely would not post such things on a public forum of a popul…
