Hey Nabintou,
I've found that when I get a question wrong during BR I broadly put it into one of three categories: (1) misunderstood the question stem; (2) misunderstood the stimulus; (3) misunderstood the answer choices. Surprisingly, (1) still ha…
@Isaiah4110 it takes me a long time to BR, probably a few hours per section, except for LG. That's because you need to break down the stimulus, the structure, and should have a really good understanding of the stimulus and question-stem before you h…
How to go about contacting schools about continued interest? Is there a best time? Letters vs knocking on the door?
I believe this is covered in admissions curriculum but there's also a webinar on low-key LOCIs that might be beneficial https://…
Hi David,
Yes, I actually did! I found the 'descriptive' aspect of argument part and method of reasoning particularly jarring. What really helped me was taking other questions I'd covered before and turning them into argument part/method of reasoni…
Is there a specific question or two that's really bothering you? Maybe we could analyze that together
Earlier on in my studies, I came up with this example to help me understand how support works on the LSAT in respect to weakening questions: Pret…
Hey @Isaiah4110,
I know you feel really discouraged right now because you think you haven't improved at all and it's okay to feel that way. However, as everyone has stated, there are two scores that you should take note of when doing a PT: your act…
Yeah, more or less. I think RC questions are basically just a combination of inference, MP, AP, MOR, weaken and strengthen questions. If you approach it in that way it makes RC seem less daunting and 'new' and is instead just LR with a longer stimul…
I think it depends on your experience and adaptability to logic games. I started foolproofing the games in the CC while going through the CC but I also had experience with logic games so it wasn't too overwhelming for me. If it's your first time, I …
Hey, so according to the question bank, PT21.S2.Q21 is parallel flaw is that the you're asking about? Since you mentioned that a seems to strengthen the argument
Hey,
I know right now it probably seems like a lot but 3 points isn't that bad. I think you could possibly be burn out, maybe try taking a few days or a week off. I've noticed that quite a few people, as they get closer to the test date, tend to ha…
@kwdardis we usually get through one LR section on Thursday and then the people that attended choose a day to get through the second LR section. As for how many, it all depends on which questions people want to go over. The Thursday session has last…
I really like the idea of reading the rules 4 times before starting the game and it's something I've implemented. The rest is up to you and what you find works best. I've tried diagramming sub game boards beside questions and depending on the type o…
@AshleighK omg I love untimed drills. It really helps you see where your weaknesses are. Of course you shouldn't neglect timed stuff but if you're not going to get something untimed or it takes you hours to understand (say super tough MSS questions)…
I think this is common actually? Because you go from foolproofing individual games to doing actual sections. The problem is that with foolproofing you already know how long each game is supposed to take, whether you should split the game board and …
I take about 30 mins to an hour for each passage set because I would rewrite the passage, analyze it, and then tackle the questions. I've recently switched to typing it out because I felt like I was taking too long to write it all out (jury on the s…
Just saw this @JenBrooklyn you did phenomenal !
@Fluccci3 @Linda1205 look forward to hearing you guys next week
@btownsquee no we were way too exhausted. I think Paul, Angus, and Elle were the only ones left able to even think or speak correhentl…
Hey Ashleigh,
Congrats on finishing CC make sure to celebrate before you jump into that post-CC grind! You'll probably have to revisit the CC while you drill to address your weaknesses so don't say goodbye to it yet
What helps me with the anxiety…
When I first started the CC I did it with no end date in mind and that actually allowed me to freedom to really understand the concepts. If you're slowly and steadily learning then the chances of you forgetting the fundamentals are really low to be …
It depends on where you are on your prep. If you feel like you're understanding the structure (correctly identifying the context, premise, conclusion, possible flaws) timed and your BR corroborates that then you definetly don't need to. If you feel …
