@tylerdschreur10 i am in the exact same place as you: sitting june 12th, average pt is 171, would be very happy with 170 on test day, want to score a 173+ for scholarship purposes... everything written thus far is spot on. nicole's rc webinar help…

this question! i went with C (few people knew the technique...) thinking that if it happened by accident and was rare those that knew how to make han purple would have kept it a secret... alas, A does the most to strengthen the argument by elimina…

how are there two threads on this now?! i can't keep up!

@Mellow_Z @"Alex Divine" @Sami this thread is my procrastination drug of choice, but i feel like i am always on here trying to stir up controversy.... see my previous comments about the palomino golden bear and the g2 07. everytime i do so you all…

@Mellow_Z you're way wrong. the pilot g-2 07 in navy blue is the god tier choice.

@jaefromcanada and @klewis4440 thanks for the feedback! blind review is where i really hold my emotional weight. as i wrote a while back once i was able to shift to emotional reaction from a preptest timed score to my blind review score i was able…
-
@JustDoIt totally agree with doing nothing after a preptest... just trying to tune into my performance: did i feel rushed? was i more easily distracted than usual? i'm taking a preptest every monday right now to mirror the experience i'll have on j…

@jkatz1488 i'm training myself to not trust my post PT mindset. i'm worried that i'll feel like i bombed the test when i sit for it and might do something stupid like cancel my score. trying to focus on trusting my studies and training. out of cu…

@ifty2nd insomnia has been a lifelong friend of mine. it took me years to develop a routine that keeps it at bay. some typical tricks: don't eat right before bed, especially junk food. go to bed even if you're not tired yet and leave the screens…

@ifty2nd lack of sleep causes severe brain fog for me. recent studies have shown that prolonged periods of less than adequate sleep can cause serious consequences on cognitive abilities. from a recent 3 year study of doctors and nurses: "For exa…

@jordan-ferrari i took the february test after two months of prep knowing that i wasn't ready. i wasted one of three attempts we get in a two year period. i cancelled my score before it posted and felt like a fool for thinking i would be ready. g…

hey @LSAT2017123 ... congrats on getting so close to your target score. i'm also taking the june 12th lsat. this month is going to be great! i hit a wall with my score a few weeks ago and know how demoralizing that can be. before we jump to stu…

@Sami thanks so much for organizing this! clearly there is enthusiasm for the group! i can't make this session, but i'll try to make the next one!

i am currently gearing up for the final stretch to june 12th... all of my family and friends have been on permanent hold and are very tired of hearing "after june 12th..." i have to say i am so grateful for all that 7Sage has offered. i have utili…
-
@Sami count me in! i'd love to help too! feels weird to offer myself as a tutor, but i really struggled with RC at first (-12 was not uncommon), but am currently averaging -2.3 on timed preptests. let me know if i can be of any assistance!
-
@awyeah26 good luck and let me know if you have any questions! for me the biggest breakthrough came when i shifted my focus from my timed prep-test score to my blind review score. now i get much more excited about a high blind review score... curr…
-
@mcneeleyt i love blind review, but it took me awhile to get there. for me it is an opportunity to test my true understanding of the concepts. i also found a correlation between higher blind review scores and higher timed PT scores... thus i knew …
-
@AllezAllez21 glad to hear it! i'm sure you're actual score will continue to go up as you focus on the blind review. keep at it!
-
alright @"Alex Divine" and @Mellow_Z i suppose if i am going to hang out here insulting the noricas i should try the wopex... though i am a bit put off by their neon color scheme. that has more to do with my own vanity, which certain doesn't matter…
-
@"Alex Divine" i think you are studying full time now if i remember correctly from some other discussion threads. you may, now blessed with unlimited study time, be looking for a way to procrastinate while still feeling productive. if so, i'm goi…
-
@jaefromcanada i blind review the whole test, including RC and LG, on a clean copy. i approach them a little different though. i treat RC the same as LR. i only blind review the questions i circled during the timed test. this is an important wa…
-
@extramedium taking down the hard questions in blind review can be really challenging and frustrating. here's my approach: i read the stimulus and the prompt until i understand it as best i can. i'll draw out any referential phrasing or annotat…
-
also... complete the core curriculum before you start prep-testing! you have a finite number of prep-tests available and you don't want to waste them on drilling. i found this webinar about test-prep very helpful when i was in the middle of the cu…
-
it sounds like you are stuck in a bit a rut... all of the advice you've gotten here is good, but i think you would benefit from a bit of a shift in your focus. stop worrying about your score on your timed PT and focus on your blind review score. y…
-
@"katharine.misc" the blind review is huge! I'm about to sound like an advertisement for 7Sage so turn away if you're uninterested... I've read that you're actual score is typically about 10 points lower than your blind review. This, for me, is g…
-
@"Alex Divine" we'll still need pencils to diagram games and arguments... at that point we'll be arguing about the best scratch paper to use!
-
@StellaBlue I agree with @ScooterMinion in that it might not always be the best idea to complete every problem set at once... everyone has a different learning style. the 7Sage orthodoxy is to complete the core curriculum before prep-testing. I co…

i'm a sucker for aesthetics and brand continuity so it's a palomino blackwing sharpener with palomino golden bear blue #2 pencils... five sharpened and ready to go before every prep-test. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5144ee05e4b033f38037f…

hey @AstralCzarina, this is a great question! and totally worth asking. something else to consider... where do you want to live after law school? if you plan on returning to the el paso area (better tacos than austin anyways), then it might be a …
