Congrats! I think sometimes just focusing on drilling instead of PT-ing every week really helps you break into new plateu's and take off the psychological burden of "this is the PT where I'll hit x"
Sometimes, yes. It depends on the individual. I found out that I was making overconfidence errors by not diagramming so I figured why not take the extra 15-30 seconds to diagram and guarantee an easy point. Diagramming also boosted my confidence wit…
I guess it depends on if that person thinks law school -> redemption. I'm sure there are other ways to redeem yourself. Also, I don't know if bad grades during high school and smoking pot are necessarily things that require redemption... does tha…
Read A no matter what. It's just because spending time thinking whether I should read A or B is a waste of time.
Same. I like things simple, A comes first in the alphabet and it's shown before passage B so that's what i do.
@Bamboosprout I've never tried calling but here's something someone who calls has told me: "When you join GTM, there are two options for the audio: via the phone or via the computer. If you choose phone, GTM will give you a phone number to dial, a p…
I use analytics definitely. I also see which questions I took too long on and drill those as well. Whether it's MP, NA, MSS; if you got it during BR but takes really long to do timed then drill 5-star level Q's to get faster.
I also look for patter…
Do you video-tape yourself? That could really help expose whether you spend too long on reading the passages or questions. My bet would be the questions. You're basically sacrificing 5-7 points for the first three passages. I bet once you watch vide…
@"Leah M B" based on how things have been going with the groups so far, we are usually half-way through the section at that point. We generally go until 11-11:30 pm EST, depending on how many questions are on the sheet and the amount of people parti…
Something I've started doing recently for these types of questions is sort of drilling old passages and taking random sentences and making inferences from it. I started doing this after I was honestly blown away by the genius of this one 5-star infe…
First of all, congrats on the upcoming weddding.
I don't quite see a goal range or what you are shooting for. If it's higher or at the same level as your BR score then you need to revisit the CC or do drills to deepen your fundamentals. I agree wit…
Maybe you can label it. Like on top of section one just put 'RC' or whatever. Alternatively, you can try covering up parts of the other sections on the bubble sheet while you bubble. For example, if you're on section two then use the test booklet to…
Agree with @MindyKale (btw been meaning to ask forever but is that a reference to Mindy Kaling?)
It depends on your BR score and your section breakdown. I think 4 points is certainly possible but the strategy recommended will depend on where you ne…
It's only one PT, its your first exposure to anything timed so try not to be too hard on yourself. That's a fantastic BR score as well.
As far as BR goes, I am missing Flaw, SA, Method of Reasoning, NA, Strengthen and MSS.
The most obvious sug…
Hey there!
Essentially what you do is you pick one as your conditional indicator and negate the other item.
To take your example of, "No duck doesn't like water," let's first choose an indicator.
'No' is our conditional indicator which is group 4…
@LSATcantwin BR calls are going good (haven't heard any complaints otherwise)! They're so lucky to have you over there! You're gonna kill it and give us some great 1L advice when you have a minute to breathe
thanks for your input, and just to answer your question anytime I do attempt it a second time, I never look at the answers or videos. I simply just try it again and notice there were so many inferences I missed that would have saved me time
Oka…
@"Adam Hawks" why don't you also join the November group since your test is in October https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/17311/november-lsat-2018-br-study-group/p1
P.S. Does this count as shameless self-promotion?
Well to increase your BR means to increase your fundamentals. Going back to CC might not be your best bet but figure out why you get questions wrong even during BR. For example, do you know how to do correlation-causation questions in theory (there'…
You said that you improved significantly the second time you did the game. Why was that? Is it because you had seen the video explanation, memorized the inferences, knew when to split? Or was it a fresh clean new take without looking at the answers/…
