Truly an awful podcast. I couldn't get through a full episode.
-
Going to try this out! Especially your golden rule. I'm waaaay to stubborn during RC. I have no problems skipping LR questions but RC questions just irritate the hell out of me and I get hung up way to easily. How often do you find yourself skippi…

@"samantha.ashley92" said: If it happens again, probably burnout or exhaustion. It’s hard to judge based on one game. Makes sense. Gonna do some sections to test the water.
-
@keets993 said: If it had happened across other sections as well then I'd be more inclined to say it was burnout but if it was just one game on LG then just panic. It's good though cause you learning how to not freeze is just something you bui…

Interesting. We'll if it's not burnout then I'm absolutely terrified of running into that situation on the actual test. I haven't hit the games in the 70s yet but I've been told the games get slightly easier. Truly hope that's the case because I …

I withdrew from September because I knew no matter what my score would be less than my target. Rather than putting myself through that stressful situation, I want to be confident I will hit my target going into the test for my first take. Only way…

@"surfy surf" said: Even if passage B is mentioned, you can still answer just based off passage A. ie if the question says “how is passage B’s tone similar to passage A”. passage A is a negative review of a book, and passage B is a mixed rev…

So I havent hit the 170s yet but I was also stuck in the high 150/low 160s and managed to break through my plateau. Also I totally agree with everything said above ^. I would add that you're definitely taking too many PTs if your score hasn't impro…
-
I'm thinking about making it my own. I'll probably use the JY method for Passage A Main Point questions because the passage is fresh in your mind but I'll ignore the questions where passage B is mentioned at all. Just tends to confuse me.
-
Can't stress how important it will be to properly Blind Review that first PT after finishing CC. The PT score probably won't be as great as you hope it will be just because there are many time related obstacles that may limit how well you do. BUT …
-
Well I won't give you a yes or no answer. I can tell you that I started with a 147 and it took me about 5 months before I was consistently scoring in the 160s. But lets assume you're able to pull it off. If you can reach 160 in two months, then I t…

@"Cant Get Right" said: I definitely spend ten minutes on some passages. If it's a harder passage with tons of questions, I think it's very often necessary. But the reverse must also be true: if it's an easier passage with only a few questions…
-
Lol I thought that time slot game went so smoothly during the test, until I realized assumed the 1hr program was just split into two "programs". Sure enough the set up makes all the difference. Most of the answers are easily answered if you split …
-
You're blessed. Take your time and apply next cycle. Even with just a standard amount of effort your should hit 170 if you wait.
-
I'm going to start doing 2 preptests a week pretty soon. I'm thinking Saturday morning and wednesday afternoon for those. I'll BR the next day and figure out any trends I need to focus on while drilling. I'll also be doing a difficult RC passage …
-
I first started really studying at the beginning of the year. My cold diagnostic was a 147 and right now I'm PTing around a 165. I'm taking the test in November and I've only completed 6 Timed Practice tests thus far so I have plenty of room for i…
-
@"samantha.ashley92" said: I agree! It's worth taking the time to see what works best. Also, you may need a different strategy for comparative passages, so keep that in mind. Yeah I haven't fully decided on how I want to approach those. JY'…
-
Do you skim the rest of the answer choices when you think you have the right answer? or do you circle it and move on? I used to rush in order to get to 15 in 15 and occasionally missed easy questions because I didn't take the time to skim the rest …
-
@"samantha.ashley92" said: Oh, developing a good skipping strategy is so important! Even if you skip one question on each passage, and really spend your time on the other questions, you're at -4. That cuts your wrong answers in half. I would t…
-
@"samantha.ashley92" said: Is your problem with time or accuracy? I think it depends. I definitely haven't developed a good skipping strategy for RC like I have with LR so if I end up with 7 mins left on the last passage it's usually because…
-
First of all I'm jealous! I spent 15 years growing up in Germany and love going back. That being said, there are a lot of ways you can make the most of your time there. Depending on what kind of law you're interested in, you could find ways to exp…

@"Sam Tyler" said: Edit: I wrote a response but realized after I didnt properly understand your question. That's my fault I just realized it didn't mention I'm pushed back my test date to November. That being said, I have lots of time! Hav…

@jvoseven said: My wife’s gonna kill me if I postpone. Lol. But I see what your saying. By CC you mean the course right? Yeah it's my fiance who I'm worried about. hahaha. She'll understand though. Just make sure you're giving her as much…

Talking to a mentor about your goals and aspirations can often help a lot. Sometimes we lose sight of what even brought us to this journey. When our lives center around studying we tend to focus on that "target score" rather than all the wonderful …
-
I'd try a few things. On your next times section, definitely pay attention to how long it takes you to get through the passage. Some people do it in 2-3 mins other are more comfortable with 3-4 mins. If you're taking too long with the questions th…
-
Ahh thanks, that makes perfect sense. It's cookie cutter. I really have no idea why I couldn't wrap my head around that one.
-
@AshleighK said: You're amazing! It takes guts and you did it twice. You've got this! What exam are you looking at now? Haha thanks! I'm looking at September! While I don't think I'm at my full potential yet, I'm far more comfortable with …
-
I've delayed twice now. I'm positive you made the right choice!

Yeah it seems his potato body was more of a host than anything. I would have loved to see him pull pranks on Mrs. Potato Head. (Personally I'd swap out her eyes while she sleeps.)
