Im not a fan. If an early question in a game looks like it is going to be super open ended, I didn't solve for all possible worlds, and a quick glance at the answer choices makes me feel overwhelmed, then I'll make a decision: a) go back and solve f…

@lukegmjohnson I would do some searching on the forum. Some users have given some really fantastic FP strategies that have helped me immensely. I'll give you what I did, and what you might do to be efficient with your time. I went through every PT …

Hey there! I think it's definitely a plus that you single out LG as your weakest spot as you can fool proof it. Have you gone through that process? Saving 8 points is a huge improvement. From my experience, you can definitely lose ground on the othe…

@ATLsat_2019 you too! And thanks for posting this threat - it's definitely been an encouragement to read!

Music major here (though several years out)! I'm not applying until the upcoming cycle, so no personal story, but I have several friends and friends of friends who went to law school post-music school. Personally I know people who have gotten full r…

I just double checked on my MacBook. Getting into fullscreen works fine with the button on the video, getting out works fine with the button and with the esc key. Sorry not helpful, but it may not be a universal Mac problem?

I have a decent commute every day and go through a lot of podcasts, so I wouldn't complain if they help with RC! Intelligence Squared, Radiolab, and More Perfect have already been mentioned and are all fantastic. I also listen most to The Weeds, Th…

@tams2018 All good questions! There's a lot to unpack in this one. We know the coal gets rolled into the supply, in addition to what @thisissparta said because we know we are considering "the total amount of coal that has been mined throughout the c…

Clarification: I think they may digitally reimburse you rather than physically mailing you a check.
-
I believe they mail you the refund after you sign up for a real administration. I've forgotten if it comes in after payment or after you take the test but I recall one of their info emails mentioning which it is.

It turned my LR around. I started 7Sage (and BR) after finishing the Bibles and realizing it still took me 40+ minutes to finish an LR section. In 35 minutes I was still missing 8-10. My LR scores are primarily -0/-1 at this point and that improveme…

I take the the first time on a printable version, and then review out of the LSAC book version. I usually remember what I chose, but I seem to duplicate mistakes less often on BR when it's a fresh copy.
-
I agree with everyone else above - do all of them. A minor point to add to all the other great reasons that have already been brought up: some 4-5 star games are as difficult as they are because there is some twist to them and they are exceedingly e…

Happy Birthday!!

Something that has been helping me recently (in addition to some of the excellent advice above), is going back to older sections I'd already done as a full timed section and redoing each passage individually. I mark the time it takes to read, and th…

There is only one of each article of clothing in each color

@LSATcantwin and @"Alex Divine" I'm going to try out both of those strategies! I'm just starting to be more conscious of my skipping methods and both of those look like solid solutions to weaknesses in my LR.

Hi there, your math can definitely help you get to the right answer. I think the key to this one, though, is focusing on where the language itself goes astray. Here it happens in the word "difference." You definitely interpreted it correctly based o…

Make sure you're saving every question you get wrong (or isn't easy for you). Revisit them every few days and think through every answer. I can't say it'll get you there as fast as you want, but I think it's indispensible to gaining accuracy and spe…

Books and meditating! Reading 1-2 hours per day can do wonders.

I used the star feature a lot on this. I started each day of CC going back to sections I had problems with (argument forms and some of the more advanced conditional lessons definitely took multiple visits) and then kept moving ahead to the new mater…

@tanes256 I tried to answer your question in my second paragraph. Sorry for rehashing the don't brute Force point in the first half
-
Like @BinghamtonDave said, it should be a last resort. Even if JY demonstrates brute forcing a question in an explanation, there very often some shortcut you could find that could avoid brute forcing (that being said, most of those we just aren't go…

One strategy that has worked for me if I dont have a clear picture after the first read is to go through again and rephrase/paraphrase every sentence/clause as I go; keep pushing new information back on what you've already rephrased - this includes …

36/2/20 Freedom of speech & TV violence. What. A. Nightmare. Missed it on BR and came back to it multiple times over two days after watching the explanation before all the answers really clicked for me.

It matters what you want to do. If you know where you want to practice, local schools are worth considering. After talking to friends that went to regional t100 schools, I came away much more optimistic. The advice I've heard/seen quite a few places…

I sort of dipped my toes in the LSAT waters by buying the SuperPrep book, and working through all three tests with "soft" timing on LR/RC and no timing whatsoever on LG (Definitely don't recommend that to anyone as it's a waste of three tests and th…

@jzzraven @"Dillon A. Wright" I'm sorry! Not my day for reading comp apparently

He also mentions the time on a lot of the videos right at the beginning. You may not have to pull out the laptop for too many.

I see where you're coming from with the stimulus line "lives could undoubtedly be saved." However, E goes way too far in describing the substance of the stimulus. The author could simply be referring to 10% of accidents that result in a loss of life…
