Hey, I wrote this in a different thread but here's my strategy:
During
(1) My approach to RC that has been helpful is I'll read the passage as fast but detailed as I can to get the gist of everything. If I get caught stuck trying to understand a s…
Gah guys, I didn't get around to taking PT 44 this week since I've been rendered incapacitated by allergies all week. I will be there for PT 45 action next week
Oh gosh, the New Yorker is amazing. Also, NPR's "Planet Money" podcasts are AMAZEBALLS. They're usually 15-20 minutes long and their "story-telling" device is all about challenging correlations that might imply causation. Alt causes being talked abo…
@VegMeg55 "where I might, just might, spend a little less time with my cats and a little more time interacting with the 'human beings' you mention" -- um, hi, are we the same person? LOL
After checking my email, it's the thing I check most frequently. What can I say, the people are just great!! And who else can I talk about the LSAT with ad nauseum AND expect to get positive/helpful responses instead of eye rolls and groans?
The advice that I've heard from friends too is, in situations where a consultant could make the greatest impact, the onus is even more on you to tell a personal story. I know that this is very true for Berkeley.
@"Nilesh S" ON. POINT. I agree that, unless you're like Nicole where you have to elaborate on special circumstances and you're aiming to get to certain schools, your numbers are/will have to be sufficient.
Congrats!!! Because the LSAT has to be standardized lest they open themselves to lawsuits for unfair testing practices, there's little to no fluctuations at all (which is great news for you!). What could fluctuate is if this test was easier specific…
I start categorizing flaws people make when arguing/debating something. "Oh, that's an ad hominem" / "oo that's an analogy but doesn't provide proof that the analogy is applicable"
My language has gotten more precise with less use of referential pr…
-- How will you change your prep in the month of April?
Up the PT cycle, meaning PT every other day with review/drilling in between
-- What are your goals for this month?
Start consistently PTing in the 173-175 range
-- How many prep tests will y…
@alexroark5 I'm going to drill RC passages right now with the method you recommended -- that sounds awesome!
My approach to RC that has been helpful is I'll read the passage as fast but detailed as I can to get the gist of everything. If I get cau…
I feel so honored to be in this game. I'd just like to thank 7sage for making this possible and the community for being so welcoming, and of course, my family and friends without whom I wouldn't be who I am today.
@orangepower20 (this advice is not meant to be condescending at all so please don't take it as such) You NEED to figure out what your weaknesses are -- I'm not saying this is easy by any means but you need to be 100% honest with yourself and figure …
I knew it! I just couldn't remember the HTML tags (I'm embarrassed to say that I used to know those tags because of a rather ridiculous xanga I used to have).
