  • For some reason weakening are the worst for me! AH We have reverse problems lol. My suggestion would be to purchase Cambridge "Strengthening" question set. Or even just print the strengthening questions on here, go through old prep exams and identif…
  • only* I also should mention that I am usually -7 per section of the LR. My lowest so far was -10 overall (-3 on one -7 on the other).
  • If it counts someone just put an article on my desk. It says to schedule regular study breaks "they are just as important as study time. Watching a movie or going for coffee for an hour to clear my head is so important. It helps with focus and keeps…
  • Just take a day then! See if the day helps. Exercise, take a big nap, go for dinner, see your friends, or see a movie.Or spend the whole day just watching your fav TV show. I think everyone is scared to lose ground (me too), but someone sent me thi…
  • @joegotbored-1, I have printed out the MC/MSS/MBT/MBF question types and prep test June 2007 and Prep test 36. I highlighted those question types for both of the exams and will be doing those ones this evening. Tomorrow evening I will be doing PS…
  • I would agree, However my schedule only permits me to take them on those days. I work a full time job, so unless I wake up at 330 and take one before work... I have to take them after work. And I don't think either is conducive to the test conditio…
  • I'm in the same boat! Someone recently just suggested on my thread to go through question type by volume, do a lot of them at once, and you'll be able to improve that way.
  • I think I won't be purchasing any new material, but I think you're right. I am writing three practice tests F/S/S, so I'll work on drilling the question types! I think speed is a problem for me too, since I feel the need to rush through stimulus to …
  • Well. It's hard to say, given that we don't know exactly the circumstance you're in for LG, whether you should circle and move on. From my experience, if I get a "just circle it and move on" feeling, it's because I'm 150% confident that it's right. …
  • I have tried to look at NA in various ways, but I have found this most effective: Just do them like any other question. Identify the Conclusion Identify the Premise Then. There are two types. And identifying which type it is determines how you sol…
  • I plan on having my last prep test being the Thursday before. Taking Friday off completely.
  • I was in the same boat. I recently just moved my score average up to 160-164 after staying at 158 for a really long time. When it comes to LR, I found that I improved (just recently) by targeting a specific question type I was shitty at (SA/PSA), pr…
  • I'm having a similar problem.
  • @jlee0615 could you maybe illustrate with an example?
  • When I do the sections in BR I can get -5 on them. So maybe you're right on the mental state issue! So when I go into an exam, should I try and do 20 and then, if I have time, go into the 5 "harder ones" (which I deem hard at the time)?

  • This is what I thought too. If I can master my LG games, improve just slightly on my RC (with comprehension of harder passages, ect), and improving on my LR question types, I thought I would be okay. I'm also taking an LSAT course next week, it spa…
  • Focus on getting "the just" of each paragraph instead of trying to get all the details. I used to do this too, thinking every single detail mattered. It doesn't. What matters is the bigger picture. Figure out what the first paragraph is saying. Fi…
  • I honestly went through the same thing. I was scoring 158 even (hoping to improve this), but on Saturday I scored a 151. Which was discouraging. Don't look at the mark. Evaluate which question types tripped you up, are they normally the ones that tr…
  • A premise supports a conclusion. Conclusion: I like bunnies Premise: Because bunnies are soft. I like soft things. A principle is kind of like..... something that can be said broadly. Example) Becky was running with a knife and she fell and kill…
  • I think you can make a significant jump! Focus on blind review and the concepts you are weakest at. I think someone answered 2) on an earlier post. Usually schools (at least from my recent experience) want you to apply early, and they suggest the Fe…
  • If your worst is reading comprehension, I would print out all of the old reading comprehensions on here. I know that there is a bunch, and you probably don't remember most of the answers to the beginning ones, assuming you haven't re-done them yet. …
  • @matt1234567 that was exactly my thought. At first I was only going to do two a week to maximize review... but now I feel as if I should do three. Def won't do more than three tho, personally!
  • Just gain some confidence in your ability. You obviously know what you're doing just say. Ok LG I'm going to f&^* you up. And persist! You can do it, you have all the knowledge!!
  • Is it... weird that I check the 7Sage discussions like I check my facebook? It's truly a community hahaha
  • short term**** I meant to say short term haha....
  • @chrijani7 I 100% stick to it. I am a bikini competitor, so skipping the gym is unfortunately not an option for me and I work a full-time job, so I can't miss that either. I have to fit it in where I can fit it in! And so I do it this way. I reali…
  • This is my life: Wake up at 3:50 AM, go to the gym, lift weights/cardio from 4:00-5:30 AM, come home, shower, leave for work at 6:30, get at work for 7, study from 7-8:30, work, study from 12-1 (lunch), go home, study from 5-8, veg out from 8-10, go…
  • Thank you I took the whole day today reviewing my prep-test that I had just completed. My blind review went wonderfully, so I had regained my confidence. I will definitely heed your advise. I won't be writing another prep test until the weekend. I…
  • Yes I'm glad I reasoned it right! I've been trying to drill it in my head. Sometimes when I'm driving I run through simple examples. Like: Conclusion: All cats are either brown or grey. Why? Premise: because cats have pigment to produce brown or …
  • hhaha the cat gif. Love it!! Good luck to all of you we CAN do this!!!!
