I wake up at 4:20, to go the gym, get home at 6, leave for work at 6:45, study from 7:30-8:30, study from 12-1. On Monday, Wednesday, Friday, I study from 6-8, on Saturdays I write a practice and do 1-2 hours, on Sunday I BR and study 1-2 hours, so …

Yep. I go through a full 4 passage section a day with BR.

@msizzlee What I did to improve my RC was I started printing entire sections of RC passages from old prep tests. This doesn't include the comparative passages, but I still find it really useful. I then went over the LSAT Trainer's section on readi…

I started studying late May of last year. I don't know what my diagnostic was, but I'm assuming it was like 135-140ish in that range. I started with Kaplan and studied their booked for 3 months before finding 7Sage. Naturally, finding 7Sage was a go…

Thanks all

Absolutely. You won't know you're 100% correct until you've seen all your options. Most of the time, and especially for reading comp, I find that they place a really really really attractive answer choice as A/B. This I find is most often the case f…

I would run away from the Kaplan course ASAP. I did TWO whole books of Kaplan and felt so horrible about the LSAT afterwards!
-
I always just go into google and type "LSAT...." and then the beginning of the passage I'm looking for. Manhattan ususally pops right up!
-
If you read through the LSAT Trainer, he breaks it down based on question type a bit when it's best effective to use process of elimination. Although it's time consuming, I've found it's personally easier to use this approach. ESPECIALLY because RC …

I, too, had such a major problem with this. I find that paraphrasing has become my best friend. Try looking at the stimulus and, instead of forcing yourself to force out the conditionality, paraphrase what you're reading so you can put it into the c…

I have tried the memory method as well, and I don't necessarily recommend it (although I LOVE 7Sage). My advice would be to pick up the LSAT Trainer and use their approach..... which is reading for structure, how the paragraphs interact with one an…

Ah this thread is so helpful. Thanks everyone
-
haha I love the beginning of this.

If I'm not mistaken.... 7Sage has a printable PDF listing "19 Common Flawed Arguments". What I suggest you do is go through some flaw questions (or even past ones that you have blind reviewed in older sections), and categorize them based on that. Yo…

^ 100% agree, flaw game changer for real.
-
Those are good points @mpits001! The taking the timed sections in a different environment sounds like something I definitely should try...... and I haven't implemented a warm-up, so i'll do that as well. What do you typically do for a warm up? Fo…
-
Yes! You can do it! I don't really know what my "official" diagnostic is, but I was scoring in the 150s before the December LSAT and now I'm in the 160s it's possible!
-
If you're only a month in....... know that speed will come with ability. The better you get at answering the questions and kind of "knowing" the question type, the faster you become. I would say, get through the 7Sage material/lessons, do all the pr…
-
I agree with @Pacifico, the main conclusion could be anywhere in the passage and sometimes it's not necessarily clearly stated. I would get a good grip on the basis because picking out the main conclusion as a more "general" sense is essential when …
-
I didn't use the packets to drill after the lessons, typically I think they're used after prep tests. I went through the lessons, started prep tests when I was finished, and used the Cambridge packages to drill my weak areas after the prep tests.
-
I haven't struggled with LG, but I would say this. If you're having trouble, fundamentally there is something not clicking. I would probably abandon the LG bundle for right now, go right back to the lessons on LG, and make sure you go through each o…
-
Totally. Sometimes when you're confused it helps me just to take a breath and reaffirm what the conclusion and premise are. Because the answer choices will just try and confuse you in that respect by bringing in other information from the stimulus t…
-
I don't know if my approach is "special" or "different" but for strengthening I usually just write out premise and conclusion and just go through the answer choices and eliminate the obviously wrong ones. I then look at the answer choice and ask mys…
-
I did. I used the memory method on here and didn't take to it well. The point is to let the details go. Why? Because you can always go back and read them. The point is to take as much "big stuff" from the passage as possible. Ie) the general sense (…
-
I literally write this on every post about RC. I used to struggle hard with RC. Like -12 + a section. My last prep test -4, which is still not perfect, but it's getting a lot better. Pick up The Trainer by Mike.. something. It teaches you how to re…
-
Yep! Drilling the same games will be helpful! Eventually the inferences just come to you at rapid speed. Keep drilling as you make your way through your prep tests. What I do..... and probably what other people do... is I print the prep test and the…
-
You sound/look on track. For October I would start taking prep tests ASAP,as you truly only really get an understanding of the test as you push through those prep tests and blind review. I would drop reading the Trainer one more time (to save you ti…

On test day my ticket said a room.... but we all showed up and they sent us in a wild goose chase to find the room we were in. and when we finally got to a room they sent us to another one. It was so stressful. lol.

Good luck to everyone! Kill it tomorrow!!!!

I drink coffee like no other. There is no way you could get me to stop for an exam. I agree with @"Dr. Yamata". I had a Monster energy drink in my water bottle for the break as well. I didn't crash at all.
