  • That looks right! Taking 2 days is pretty good. That's how long it takes me. Sometimes even longer. I usually Blind Review RC by writing down my low rez for each paragraph, doing write ups for each questions, and reviewing my footage -it's an all da…
  • I would say finish the core curriculum first. After that you want to take PT 36 and see where you are at. If you are trying to aim for 167, you would probably need to foolproof LG after the core curriculum. I would also suggest to not take a PT ever…
  • For me, it really was foolproofing LG first that helped me get towards -0 range. Then it was maintaining that everyday. At the end, I still had some sections where I would sometimes go -1 or -2 because of silly mistakes so I ended up foolproofing LG…
  • Congratulations Sagar! You deserve it. ❤️ Of course I remember you. You are the only student of mine that tried to bribe me with a Sephora gift card, just so I would continue tutoring you.

  • I am not exactly sure about admissions. But I think for Texas, apart from UT you have a very competitive score. I believe UT Austin is reasonably priced, so if you want to take the risk of not getting scholarships, I don’t see why you shouldn’t give…
  • You are trying to anticipate answer choices which is not a good strategy. What you can do is notice the flaws and jumps the argument makes. For example you can notice that the argument goes from correlation to causation but be open to the many diffe…
  • With September being so close, based on what you have told me, I think this is a valid and justifiable concern. I think my best recommendation is if you are not scoring close to your goal score in PT's to wait to take November or depending on how fa…
  • If you are still working on drilling in core curriculum or fool proofing games its completely reasonable to right now not get it under time. As you keep practicing, you will get more fluent with games and learn more inferences and your speed will in…
  • I honestly think the Powerscore methodology for Logic games especially is extremely bad. That was the first book I bought too. I still have it and I am torn between throwing it away or giving it to someone. But I can't in any good conscience give it…
  • I second subscribing to Scientific American. They are really good at talking about a wide range of science topic - biology, physics, astronomy etc. It really helped me get familiar with these topics and the scientific method which is heavily used in…
  • Yeah, I found it weird that the deadline was the day of the test. They usually wait a week till after the latest test. I was going to register soon as well and then I saw your post... lol The best things in life come out of mistakes. So who knows t…
  • @LCMama2017 said: why is there no poop emoji LOL that's one of the first things I looked for . LSAT is "insert poop emoji"
  • @RunawayJury said: @Sami said: I love that between your two PT's your BR score was higher. This means you are raising your potential maximum score. Keep working on increasing your blind review as well as answering the question …

  • One thing I like to do is draw a parallel argument to that stimulus and write the parallel wrong answer choice as well as right answer choice. This helps me start applying the tricks the LSAT writers use to get me and since I can craft similar trap …

  • I love the response by @"Cant Get Right" I'll add a bit more details to this process. I have often found that we can get so scared of missing details in RC that we end up trying to memorize all the details when we are reading the passage. When p…
  • I love that between your two PT's your BR score was higher. This means you are raising your potential maximum score. Keep working on increasing your blind review as well as answering the question about how you could next time achieve some of the poi…

  • @Ari_Gold180 said: I just completed the Causation and Phenomenon-Hypothesis Question section in the CC and have a few questions regards the content in there before I move on to Strengthening Questions. I'm first of all curious as to if those w…
  • I does seem like you have strong fundamentals because of your BR score and are applying some sort of skipping strategy. Being 8-10 minutes over for LG usually means there is a need to foolproof games. But It's hard to know just from score and time w…

  • I subscribe to the Magazine, Art in America. The first time I started reading this magazine I was shocked because each article reads like an RC passage! Almost always they start off talking about an artist that's pushing the boundaries in his or her…
  • Split should be seen as a way to represent rules or variables rather than a means to solve the game. When I am considering the rules for a game, I am thinking about what's the best way to see this rule; 1. on the side written down, 2. on the master …
  • @LCMama2017 said: @Sami thanks girl. I did forget that bit and appreciate the reminder 8 minutes, really? Yeah . Feel free to send a picture of what you ended up doing for that game .
  • @jdmccar95 said: Thanks for all the feedback. I'm currently still figuring out my skipping strategy. The only questions I skip without reading are the later 15-26 parallel flaw questions. Otherwise I'll read the stimulus and if I have no id…
  • @"samantha.ashley92" said: I would definitely go to the question bank and practice all of the Misc questions! They are all relatively weird and difficult. Second this .
  • @LCMama2017 said: @keets993 yes! Well, bless your heart girl! It's 10:30 and I'm still trying to figure out if chaining, half-chaining or diagrams works better. I'm finally understanding the right answers but I just need to do it quicker to…
  • I see that you have ultimate +, you can use 7sage question bank to sort LG by difficulty. Also, the solution to the problem depends on why you are losing points. If it's silly mistakes, then working on having a strong LG form would help. If its the…
  • I would say try drawing a parallel argument to that stimulus. This first requires extracting the core argument out of the stimulus. Lets say the stimulus went from correlation in the premises to causation in the conclusion. Then based on this and ho…
  • I have found that people don't care as much as we think we do and are more likely to be understanding without judgment than we give them credit for. So be honest and be true to yourself and you'll find people will understand or if they don't, will s…
