I was genuinely just curious. I found it beneficial to seek out a different perspective. Started with 7Sage which gave me 95% of my foundation and then used the LSAT Trainer and Manhattan prep to solidify everything. I still say you could benefit fr…

How do you plan to review fundamentals? Just curious!
-
It's not ideal by any means but if there really is no way for you to push back your test date, then it's your best bet. You could take a couple weeks and work through what you can in the curriculum (trying to hit the major point, foundational logic,…

Okay, you may or may not like the advice I'm going to give you considering you've already dropped a substantial amount of money on prep courses but I really, really feel it's going to be the quickest way to improve your score. IMO- You need to purc…

What's your breakdown per section? You say that games aren't great but give me an example of the number of questions you typically miss per section in LR, RC and LG. You said extending access, does that mean Blueprint or the 7sage course? If you hav…

@nicole.hopkins It's nice to hear someone else is in the same situation. I just can't seem to get LG locked down the same way that others have. Very frustrating. I use the foolproof method and can pretty much always nail the game the second time I s…

@nicole.hopkins Yeah, they once advised a student not to waste too much time on BR. That's when I decided to find something else to do with my time. So. Ridiculous.

I could not agree more, @blah170blah ! I'm always really bummed to hear about people talking about reaching their "limit." I've even heard it mentioned on a prominant LSAT podcast (won't mention any names but there aren't too many of them out there)…

2? Maybe more? Depends on a lot of different things. Are you scoring near your target? How much time do you have to review? I'd say 2 would be ideal but obviously that will vary from person to person. Thorough BR is key so regardless of how many tes…

Sounds to me like you may need a break, a couple of days off (maybe even a few?) can do wonders. I know it's difficult to do with a looming deadline but I really think it will help. This is anecdotal evidence of course but after pushing for months a…

@lschoolgo- Yes, I am aware of the shift in difficulty around PT 57 or so. I've tried out my strategies on a couple of PTs in the mid to late 60's and have had similar success. I didn't find the passages themselves to be more difficult in and of the…

This game was really interesting and I'd like to practice more like it. Has anyone encountered any similar games - In/Out with a bi-conditional?
-
@amanda_kw Yes, -3/-4 was my MO for a long time. I hope they work for you. Recognizing when something is significant and when it's not has helped improve my speed and accuracy. @lschoolgo I aim to finish each passage in 7'30" but it varies. If I c…

Sort of makes me wonder if people improve because of repeat exposure and then attribute their improvement to whatever strategy they implemented most recently or happen to be using at the time. Could be just me but I definitely felt like I had hit a …
-
@josephellengar 's strategy may work better for you, reading is a very individual task and I'd argue that there is no such thing as one side fits all approach. It's just a matter of trying several strategies and figuring out what works best for you.
-
My RC has gotten much stronger as of late (-0/-1 in the last few sections I've done) and I really believe it's all about pausing while you're reading to make sure you- 1. clearly understand the purpose behind the paragraph you've just read and 2. li…
-
@msizzlee I'd say the way to approach elimination varies greatly depending on the question type in LR. I have also been typing out my thought process in LR sections and, although it is tedious, I have seen a drastic improvement in score because of i…
-
Looks great! Thanks for sending it to me!
-
@Pertichor What areas do you consider to be your strengths generally? LR? RC? A specific question type?
-
I've really seen an improvement in score from typing out my reasoning for eliminating or accepting every single answer choice on both LR and RC. I also rewrite the stimulus in my own words. Previously, I thought I was doing BR thoroughly but it wasn…
-
Thanks, @mariii_m. I appreciate your thoughts!
-
@blah170blah - thanks for that! The idea about cross-analysis and the questions are really helpful! I've been reviewing religiously but have been coming up empty on what makes certain PTs easier for me than others. I really think this type of analys…

@"Jordan McMahon" I'm also interested in seeing them and will PM you my email address.

Yes, in addition to the LG explanations which are all provided for free, you can access video explanations for questions from the full practice tests that came with your course and any questions that are explained as part of the curriculum (primaril…
-
Well, I see it this way... No one can will themselves to answer questions faster than they are capable of answering them so let's imagine that someone were to tell you, "yes, you should be going faster" and you took their advice to heart. What would…
-
I didn't consider the flight situation. You could decide based on your next few PT scores, maybe you should consider taking some of the newer/newest tests to make sure you're getting an accurate assessment of where you stand.
-
Hey! I guess I've already offered my 2 cents during one of our study sessions but I just wanted to add that you absolutely don't have to decide now. I've been debating the same thing and have resolved to put it out of mind completely. I'll focus com…
-
@amanda_kw I'm always game for a discussion about the LSAT that touches on things that are just a little bit deeper than the normal superficial stuff so I'll bite. I think the "elephant in the room" with RC is actually something that most (all?) tes…
-
@geniaguez It really depends on your individual goals. Do you have a target score in mind? You made improvements in BR which demonstrates that your understanding of certain aspects (at least in part) didn't come across in the PT. It's one thing to b…
