Hi @amanda_kw! I used to (and sometimes still do) have the same problem as you where my BR answers almost NEVER differed from the answer that I chose initially. I realized I was making this mistake because, despite how much time I gave myself, I jus…
This week wasn't as productive as I would have liked in terms of accomplishing what I set out BUT I've been able to sustain some good LSAT momentum, which is nice
THIS WEEK:
1) Review PT10
2) Drill LR weaknesses & difficult RC passages (RC all…
Because it's good practice (and I want to see if we're on the same page), I think the key to answering this question correctly is in lines 8-11: "...although people apparently ignore mundane hazards that pose significant danger, they get upset about…
@emli1000 I don't QUITE get those 7sagers yet but hopefully we'll all get there and say, "Ah, remember the days when all we had to do was study the LSAT and then saw our hard work rewarded with our 180s? Those were the days..."
@nicole.hopkins I al…
This sounds fantastic! Once I hit the 40s, I would love to join. I can't think of a better way to spend Saturday than studying for the LSAT hahhaa (somewhat serious)
Like @LSATisland mentioned, typically individualized advice is best to really overcome your personal struggles with the test. That being said, I am curious as to how diligently and methodically review your test.
For instance:
1) What's your weakest…
@jdawg113 makes an excellent point -- do not think of a PT as a way to get points, but as things to check off your checklist of "Things/Skills I Need to Have to Do Well on the LSAT"
1. A basic rundown of some of the pitfalls you went through studying for the LSAT
(1) Emotional blockage
Like most people gunning for top LSAT scores, I was a top student and had a fairly easy time through college. I was passionate about what I wa…
Hi AlexanderL0. The answer to your question ("Do you guys think this is a good strategy?") depends on where you are now and where you want to go. If your BR score is in the high 160s and 170s, that means you have a pretty good understanding of the f…
@mpits001 I do something in between hahaha. I BR the questions I miss but also make sure to review the logic behind every single question I got right as well.
@JustDoIt Just keep reviewing! Review is the key to seeing the source creating the gap b…
@bobalicious I can absolutely vouch for what you are saying about going to sleep early. I have always been a night owl so waking up early has been the hardest part about studying!
As you practice more, you'll realize that you tend to rely less on translating things into formal lawgic, unless it's for MBT/parallel/sufficient assumption questions. I think a comparable example is when you're learning a foreign language, you're s…
@nicole.hopkins This is what I'm doing right now and I can say that it is AMAZING. Having to write out why the wrong answers are wrong and the right answer is right really forces you to break down the argument taking place in the stimulus. After doi…
Thanks for starting this motivating thread -- it's great to hear and share success stories.
ANDDDDDDDD I have something to add to this thread! I got TWO donuts (LR & LG) in one practice test -- I've never done that before!
That's GREAT that your reasoning is exactly as the video explanation. If you have the time, reinforce what you know, review what you missed. It will further solidify your logic to the point it becomes second nature (like dissecting arguments in the …
To add to what @hdzafer9 stated, 170-172 will put you in good standing for T14, 172-175 will definitely open opportunities in T10, and 175+ can open up CCN (I'm not sure about HYS since your GPA is a few tenths below the median but, depending on you…
