A cold diagnostic of 152 is a good starting place. Using the LSAT trainer to understand the fundamentals of the LSAT and accompanying that with 7Sage could push you into the 160s in 2-3 months. I can't give you exact time frames because I didn't hav…

Also, I did this because I noticed I had two sets of LSAT habits. Good habits when I get like less pressure and bad habits when I feel a lot of pressure. I'm trying to make sure that only good habits are getting reinforced. For example, good habits …

@Jimmyjatt hi there! It means I'll run a stopwatch instead of a timer. Usually I finish around 35-36 minutes but there are a few occasions where I'll go up to 37 minutes to check my answers/revisit a question. I find timing loosely helps me better i…

Yay! This is so exciting. Thanks 7sage!

I agree with @"Ron Swanson" that it is fairly important to do well on LG to get consistently in that range. However, it gave me a lot of anxiety to think about the test in that way because it made me feel super screwed if I didn't feel like I knocke…

It could be helpful to just even tape yourself. I'm by no means skilled at RC but I have taped myself and find that it's useful for me to physically see where I make mistakes, either in reading or in answering questions.
-
I was in a similar position where I initially circled 12 questions and rarely changing my answers. If I had been more diligent, I would have realized is that these are the 12 questions/arguments that I'm likely to get stumped on in the LSAT which ca…

Simple answer: No. The LSAT prepares you to think in a way that will benefit you in law school. Most will say not even law school prepares you for the bar, which is why people pay to take bar-prep courses. Both the LSAT and law school teaches you h…

^^ nailed it. Another way I quickly eliminated (A) is that the stimulus isn't making a relationship between the frequency of the event and the damage created - it's making a relationship between the intensity of the event and the damage. When I wen…

I use @McBeck418's method and double-check my answer using the negation test.

It sounds like your LR accuracy is where it needs to be. Here are some tips: 1) Creating a skip strategy that works for you. 2) Acclimating yourself to harder questions by taking the harder LR questions ONLY from a few sections, so around question…

I have been doing BR but sometimes it just ends up making me second guess my answers, This is exactly what BR is supposed to test. If you're shaky, that means your reasoning is unsound in some way. Is it sometimes ok to do BR by knowing which ques…

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LG! There's probably a couple of reasons why: 1) It was my fastest improving section and my most consistent. I haven't missed more than 2/3 after I went through one round of curriculum so it's the thing that boosts my confide…

@"Cant Get Right" I was thinking the same thing. I was like, "Wow this is a really interesting discussion ... what this was from... 3 YEARS AGO?!" WHOA!
-
How do you approach answering necessary assumption questions?
-
I try to see all sections in some form on a given day, even if that means one game, one passage, or 10 LR questions. However, my primary focus changes based on what I needed to work on based on my performance the day prior.
-
Hey @westcoastbestcoast , your sufficient assumption is actually not valid given the stimulus. We have no idea under what conditions the company won't let Ann leave, we only know that there is a condition that will let her leave. Also, I think suf…

I tagged you in a thread that I think you might find helpful
-
@diefor170 I think you'll find some answers to your question here
-
Some might disagree but I would try cannibalizing some sections and do RC untimed but applying consistent annotation/reading strategies. I think you need to figure out if your annotation strategy is sound but you need to get faster OR if your annota…
-
Can you give us an example of this type of problem and how you would you go about solving it?
-
My suggestion for LG, unlike the other sections, is to stick with one. Every book has a different language for describing games and using notation so it's important to be consistent. Maybe someone here who has jumped ship from one material to anothe…

I read this as C4 and was seriously concerned for a second...
-
Timed sections. You should have enough time left to do 1 timed section of LG if you do 1 section/day.
-
Why not both? LG is a section where repeated exposure to the same games is advantageous, as it'll give you a frame of reference if you ever see a game that seems unfamiliar on the real test.
-
^^ evidence = one size does not fit all. I'll note that my RC strategy also needed revision as I got to the newer PTs so I adopted a pretty different strategy than the one I'd been using. This also underlines the importance of using newer PTs in yo…
-
The short answer? All of them. Modality is super important to eliminating wrong answer choices for a lot of questions, but especially true in MBT/assumption questions and RC questions.
-
Omg I love this kind of... ish!! (probably shouldn't curse on a public forum)
-
It's not the number of points you have left but in what band you need those points. I've been trying to jump 2 points for a year -- but that's because I'm trying to go from low to mid 170s. Don't despair. It's possible and anxiety inducing but your …

30 hours a week is an insane amount of studying. The LSAT isn't about brute force studying, it's smart studying. It's possible to get your 8 points but you need to be smart in your studying and hone the fundamentals. That means, instead of doing 70 …
