This has been a struggle for me, but I don't think it necessarily means you need to repeat the foundational lessons unless you know that is your weakness. I know that was not my problem. You need to hone your skills about doing an entire timed secti…

The key to the games is repetition. As you get more practice, you will see the inferences more quickly instead of struggling for them. You must practice like a robot. If you're still at the 12 minute mark on simple linear games, I would guess you ha…

I have been in a very similar position, just starting to pull out of the LG woods now... First, did you do the foolproof method with the LG bundle? Are you at JY's target time when drilling the majority of those older games? Second, are you having …

I was laughing so hard until he smashes the box with a little person in it.... just.... it took a turn to WTF... and then I realized there is no self-awareness in this add at all.

I echo @DumbHollywoodActor about reading the flaw chapters in the Trainer. Do you have the Trainer? You should be able to perceive most flaws before heading into the answer choices. Of course there are always some you may be unfamiliar with, or ques…

@"Julia L" check it out!

Thanks that is helpful! I will just treat as MBT then. The question I'm having issue with is PT 74, sec 4, Q 7. I didn't want to choose A, which turns out to be the right answer, because I thought it completed a terrible argument. Stimulus says for …

The thing that helped me the most with timing was making sure I was really concentrating on every question stem the first time through reading it. If I feel like I zoned out or I can't quite get the gist of a question, I skip and come back later. I …

Here's what I use and it works pretty well: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00791QYEY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00 Analog watch with a rotating bezel Swivel the bezel to 0 for every new section; you don't even look at…
-
Don't by the knockoff, I tried it and sent it back... when you set it an push in the pin, the minute hand jumps backward or forward by 2-3 minutes so it's worthless for timing. Just a warning. I even took it to a watch shop, the guy said it has a ch…

Oddly enough, I was in the 177-180 range on BR early on, then it went down to 171-172; I'm still trying to get back up in the higher range, but the major shift for me was the more modern tests (I have lower BRs right now with the 70s series tests). …
-
You can keep track of both on the LSAT analytics, enter your original answer choices and then click on the question number; another row will appear in blue, that is for your BR answer choices.
-
I think maybe your BR could improve with the LR sections - If you aren't getting close to perfect BR scores, then you may have an issue with understanding some concepts, or you may not be taking enough time to really scrutinize your reasoning for el…
-
How is your LG? And how are your BR scores, especially for the LR sections?
-
@elementdesign have you completed the core curriculum here on 7Sage? JY has videos explaining in depth how to BR for each section.
-
just remember, if you write the exam and then want to cancel your score, that will count as your third take.
-
Thanks for the help! Okay for now I'll keep at the PTs, and I'll definitely use an extra LG section to make my PTs 5 sections and get in more LG practice.
-
Agreed! I think people are lying consistently on those other boards. 7Sage discussion is the most reliable and honest forum community I have found. You get good advice here, without the ego bullshit that is so common elsewhere. No one here - includi…
-
Thanks for the help! Really appreciate the input.
-
I was a Philosophy major in school, and have some experience with symbolic logic. I think learning "lawgic" is sufficient for the games; this test is so particular and narrow that the course 7Sage provides will give you all the skills you need. I su…

Glad to pass it on! Good luck!
-
@Pacifico thanks for posting this; I've been using an adapted version of your strategy and already building more skills and confidence. Great advice!
-
@TJordan7 Can you include me in the PT and BR group for August? I would love to study with you all. Thanks!
-
Thanks all! Very helpful.
-
I started with the Trainer and then found 7Sage; so far it's clear to me that 7Sage is fantastic and more comprehensive for teaching LG (you could probably skip the LG sections in the Trainer and just do it on 7Sage), and the Trainer is excellent fo…
-
@"Alan Cheuk" thank you for the fix!!
-
@habad1 I began with the Trainer before starting 7Sage; I would recommend completing most of the Trainer and 7Sage's core curriculum before you begin PTing. Obviously that is an ideal situation, but since there are a limited number of PTs, it's bett…
-
@"Alan Cheuk" just a heads up at lease some of the new problem sets for LG have dropped the game designation; it specifies which PT and section, but not which specific game. I didn't check all of them, but I noticed this with a couple sections for t…
-
@Pacifico thanks for the advice; I think I will use a modified version of your strategy, I definitely need to drill LGs more than 4x at this point to get my timing reasonable, but as I improve I will probably do less repeats of each test and come ba…

@jamesjentucker I am in a similar situation! But you are ahead of me. Glad I found this thread. Prepping for October, I've been through most of the Trainer (started with that) and I'm just focusing on LG with 7Sage, so I'm covering the core curricul…
