Completely agree - reading questions first is a time sink. Only do it like @VegMeg55 says, to note specific lines to look out for. One thing I really like about the Trainer is that it categorizes RC question types. I you master the question types,…

Finish the course - better to have the tools as a foundation. Then hone applying them on PTs!

I prefer 7Sage. JY fosters a respectful atmosphere where even people who score crazy high like JY are humble and empathetic. Fox's podcasts are kind of smug, some good material but not earth shattering.
-
Hey @VegMeg55 Thanks for the response - the only thing I'd say is no need to "lightly underline" - literally just run your pencil over without touching. It's not necessarily bad to "lightly" underline, but not necessary and the added "drag" mig…

Use your Pencil to guide your reading - really helps! JY does it for RC passages if you look at him doing LSAT 70. But don't just do this for passages - do it for everything - games, LR, reading answer choices... Helps with Speed AND Accuracy

The LSAT Trainer Book makes a BIG difference for reading comp. In addition to mapping, this teaches about Question types (which is underrated). The book is well worth the $ http://www.amazon.com/The-LSAT-Trainer-remarkable-self-driven/dp/09890815…

Hard to tell. I find myself remembering questions and I think the familiarity provide a leg up and a level of comfort. Sometimes I try to compensate by reducing time allowed in each section.
-
I have to say this is the most constructive, thoughtful and supportive LSAT messageboard. I love it. Good luck!
-
Thanks - What do you mean by visually line your answer sheet over?
-
I do circle on test booklet already. I bubble in groups (by game, passage, and 1-2 pages for LR). I realize this specific instance was bubbling by group in RC... When I bubble in groups instead of doing it one-by-one within that group, I'll quick…

Definitely not PT - only if studying (and even then I'm not sure). No words - love Mozart, Tsaikovsky idea
-
Does anyone know where the meditation samples in the 7Sage course syllabus comes from? They're pretty good!
-
Thanks so much K-Magnet! I'll check it out I appreciate what you wrote Derek, but I'm already doing that - I want to hone in on question types to take my RC scores to the next level.
-
Thanks all - very helpful!
-
You do have a better chance at accommodations now - LSAC reformed it's process thanks to the DOJ
-
Thanks! Thanks to your help I think i now found a simple way to confirm correct choices - Raph would STILL disagree with B and Edward would agree (simple, I know), but that's what it comes down to!
-
Yup 70. It's easy to overlook because the video is embedded at the bottom but well worth watching if you're looking for subtle hints at maximizing your technique.
-
Yes - do something in SF or the Bay Area soon - Please! And Pref no alcohol. I'm going dry until Dec 7.

Blind Review really helps me with Skipping - BR has helped me develop an intuitive sense of the types of questions that I'm unsure of, are difficult or take a lot of time. Are you BRing already kristineleewilliams?
-
Don't do it. Mine is a POS. Just get the casio watch with a bezel to mark 35 and keep resetting hand to 12:00 (it takes a second to do): http://www.amazon.com/Casio-Bi-Directional-Rotating-Resistant-Features/dp/B00GVKURGA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&q…

Great Question -Burstei6 Is there a way to submit applications now without schools seeing my Sept Score - and only seeing my LSAT Scores when December becomes available? I ask this because I've heard horror stories about students submitting and as…
-
@lsathopeful you're absolutely right about how circling for uncertainty helps on a test/pt. It's given me a firm idea of what questions to skip (and ideally come back to at the end). Great points K-Magnet - all the benefits of full blind review ar…
-
Thanks so much!
-
I agree @turnercm... The only reason I bring this alternative up is because I'm at the point where I get so few wrong that I almost force myself to circle way more than I need to.
-
Thanks for your kind words @K-Magnet I want to add 3 things: 1) What I shared works for me. I think it would work for you, but after a process of trial and error only you can determine that. 2) The process you are in now of trying different thi…
-
I've gotten -0 before. I definitely recommend focusing on the main point for every paragraph and marking any time you see a hint of the author's Point of View. And this is very important - you don't need to leave the passage with everything - jus…
-
I don't know if LSAC does that - hell, I don't think they'd do anything that might help in some way.... But, if it helps, here's my take on LR - it's worth expecting an overall increase as LR progresses, BUT it's like a roller coaster where there …

Hey Dillon - can you tell us more about the 7sage PS bundle?
-
Blind Review all preptests you take. If you're not sure how it works, review the 7Sage Videos on it. I swear by this method: - It forces you to think through problems in a way you can't by just checking the answers and "thinking you know why …
-
I agree, do newer tests timed - AND Blind Review. I'd rather do fewer tests and blind review then simply doing maximum tests without BR.
