Yeah, I would definitely revisit them every once in a while, particularly when it's been a while. I actually re-drill sections I've even aced in the past in order to keep my intuition, speed, and accuracy up.

Do you go over those games at all? You may already be doing and may also find this advice to be obvious, but drilling those games (and better yet, the entire section) helps immensely. If you can't score well on games you've already done, you're like…

I'm with @"Cant Get Right" on this on. Though you should certainly be going through the problem sets, I would save drilling until after you've completed the curriculum and believe you have a solid understanding of what was taught. In this way, you a…

Yeah, some can be a tricky indicator word, especially for weakening questions. In many cases, ACs using the word "some" does NOT weaken an argument, even if that group of "some" contradicts that which is argued in the stimulus. For example, if an …

Using the 7Sage Memory Method helped me improve and get back on track for RC, but given the time it takes, I eventually moved on with an improved memory - an outcome the Memory Method counts on. Not sure where you are in comprehending and rememberin…

For trickier main point/main conclusion questions, I skip them after giving a quick pass over the ACs and move on to the other questions without rereading the passage, only if I am confident in my knowledge of the passage. Some of the hardest main c…

That's entirely understandable. I apologize, I didn't realize you were three semesters away. Though I've never been in a situation such as yours, I would highly recommend allowing yourself the luxury of studying outside of college. Granted, I try to…
-
I'm guessing it's just less work for the writers, and since the stimuli are already acceptable in terms of their validity (or invalidity), I suppose there isn't much reason not to. I have not seen newer tests reuse older stimuli, actually. That's …

As probably everyone finds, I see RC as the most abstract of the LSAT sections and therefore the most difficult to practice for. However, I also believe that RC provides the best opportunity for steady increases as well as for avoiding major lapses …

Wow. Then studying after graduation is even more important, given that you have three children. You have a decent amount of time before having to take the December or the more restrictive February test in order to enroll next year. But I am with you…
-
I think the fact that you have before failed courses makes the LSAT an even greater opportunity for you. Taking the LSAT while in college is tough - something I don't think I would have ever dared to try. Though I would urge you to consider moving y…

I had a similar problem with the newest tests, though this problems seems to be finally going away for me. Nevertheless, it took me several tests to get back on track. The newer tests seem to bait you more with subtle word changes (at least in harde…

Glad I could help! And I agree. Some may believe the forum to be a major disadvantage to perhaps the most comparable alternative: one-on-one tutoring. But the forum has helped me as well - unmeasurably so.
-
Also, it may be beneficial to circle quantifiers, particularly in LR. Even if you catch the quantifier the first time you read a stimulus, you may forget about it (or miss those in the ACs). Circling them helps you to work around the pitfalls using …
-
I think it would be helpful to catalogue your mistakes by type. I started doing this and realized the dumb mistakes I was making and which ones more often than others. Be sure to write them down, not type them - advice you will often read on 7Sage -…
-
Another good question. I'll start more with the latter half of your question and work from there: In many (most?) logic games, variables are forced into one slot. Ex. 7 of 7 artists showcase their work in a museum, each doing so at a different …
-
I ask because this can happen to me in LR. If ever I'm slower than normal, it's with an LR section - usually the result of rustiness or a small level of anxiety. Doing warm up LR questions could help tremendously with this. For situations like thi…
-
Great question. As you noted, the rules states, "K is advertised during one of the first two weeks." Often, this prevents K from moving elsewhere (e.g. in a slot in week 3 or 4). But rule #2 states, "The product that is advertised during two of th…
-
Pacing in the first section is relatively common, I think. Is this pacing problem exclusive to a particular section?
-
I personally self-BR as a requirement for a variety of reasons. Most importantly, self-BRing helps me to catch what I missed even after BRing on my own. In a group BR, I may not notice quite as exactly an error on a missed question as much as I woul…

Amazon? I am able to receive PTs in two days in the U.S.

I'll be there.

I agree with the majority here that finding the conclusion is imperative to locking in knowledge of a stimulus. In the earlier stages in my prep, I skipped over this step and was screwed over countless times because of it. It's also okay to go bac…
-
No, that's perfect. I've found that the newer tests make use of more peculiar (or perhaps more literal) meanings/definitions of individual words or phrases. Thanks!
-
I'll be there.
-
I've been using these new techniques for BRing, and it seems to be working well. Thanks, @"Nicole Hopkins"! Although, if my BR answer choices all end up being incorrect, I rescind my possibly premature "thank you" and will blame you for everything. …
-
I'll be there but will be late. I hope I don't miss too much!
-
I've solved for as many as six worlds before, though this has only been on exceptional occasions - usually harder games that have questions that would otherwise force you to meticulously draw out several game boards to find the correct answer choice…

I agree that many of the older questions aren't as finely tuned as the newer ones. I think the older LG sections are very important if only for keeping up a routine of drilling. But a large number of the earliest questions are mirrors of questions i…
