@xtinextine I think I'd try to make sure that people know the schedule 2 weeks ahead, so that people can be flexible with joining the BR's. Maybe in such a way that if someone is drilling and not PT-ing they can drill a section of the PT we'll be do…

@Sami I literally copy and paste most of the advice you give on these forums on a separate word doc. You should really considering publishing an LSAT study book with these gems
-
@alyhobbs Yeah there's like 83 PT's out right now? The curriculum kinda sorta covers uptil PT 35 so that still leaves 48 PT's. 49 if you count the upcoming June test. That's a LOT. I was thinking we do one BR call a week and start off with one in t…

Congrats!!

This new 7sage generation doesn't know how easy they have it

I go straight from test to BR - BR takes me days to do. However, throughout the course of those several days I do not look at the correct ACs. That's great, so based off that and your BR score, I think with a few tweaks it would be possible for…

Hey there first of all congrats on you BR score, that's amazing! Just to clarify, when you say your BR score, it's not the case that you're already aware of which questions are wrong and then you go back and BR them right? I only ask because it will…
-
I think we're always so eager to prove to ourselves that our effort has been worth it, sort of an instant gratification. First of all, congrats on any kind of improvement! It definetly should be celebrated. I wouldn't get too depressed yet because y…

Agree with everyone else, take a couple of days or a week off. It may seem counterproductive but it's going to be so beneficial. It seems like a knee jerk reaction to take multiple tests or sections when you get a score you're disappointed with. I'v…
-
Agree with what Sami said. If you spend those 4 minutes splitting boards and getting a perfect understanding of the rules and how they function then it's not an issue because then the idea is you can breeze past the questions. If it takes you 4 minu…

Have you tried your laptop or tablet or some other type of device?
-
I went through 1/3 or half of the problem sets available based on my understanding of the concepts or comfortability after finishing the lesson. I ususally finish a lesson, say weaken, do 1 or 2 problem sets and BR it and then move on to the next co…
-
I personally struggled with whether I should update from starter for months too and honestly, I don't regret it one bit. If you can financially then you should definetly do it. Not only do you have access to all the problem sets but you get all the …

When you go on analytics and scroll down the list to enter your score, click on the test (it'll say"date taken") and the option to "delete the preptest" will be in red. Hope that helps!
-
So since you are saying this is your BR score and you aren't really finding any trends in terms of being bad at just one or two questions, there could be a couple of culprits. It could be the grammar in the more difficult question that throws you of…
-
To be honest, and this is not the answer you're looking for, but I'm not sure you can ever tell which premise is relevant and which is not until you look at the answer choices. There have been times I'm doing an SA question and I've spotted a gap an…

Perhaps a lot of these lawyers turn to alcohol and drugs as a coping method because it makes them feel less vulnerable than seeking counseling. I think there's still that stigma against people who deal with issues of mental health that they "can't c…
-
That's amazing, congrats! Well deserved, hope you did something fun to celebrate
-
@H_al1411 I think you definitely need to go through the core curriculum then. Did you blind review the problem sets? If so, were the scores the same or different?
-
Yaaaa okay so the reason I'm taking 2 PTs is to practice a strategy that I heard from @"Seeking Perfection". Take 2 PTs in one day with 15 min break in between once a week, spend the week BRing. I want to build my stamina bc I have the attention …
-
@lukegmjohnson so there are plenty of skipping strategies for LR like 25 questions in 25 minutes or 20 questions in 20 minutes. Basically, it breaks down to being okay with skipping a question because each question is worth one point and you don't l…

LG and RC are my weakest sections so far with -13 for LG and -17 for RC. I scored in the 140's. Aiming for 160 or higher. So the good news is that this is definitely achievable if you put the work in, either by June or September. First of all, …
-
To be honest, I don't know how probable it is to score into the 170s by June. Your BR is your hypothetical maximum potential since the score determines which questions you get wrong even though you are untimed. Of course there are other factors in p…
-
@Hamaseh_S I took almost a week off and honestly I feel like a new person. Are you doing 2 PT's today? Isn't that a lot?
-
Can you break down your score in each section? The strategy for a 10 or 20 point increase in LG is different than that of LR or RC. Also are you getting these questions wrong in blind review too or just timed?
-
I agree with you, I think it's A -> B. Because all we know is that confirming A will ensure that B happens. But we don't know anything else about B. We don't know that if B happened that A must have happened.
-
Congrats on that superb improvement! Everyone tries to rush because of a pre-chosen rate but that's not always helpful to your understanding of the materials, and I'm so glad you're providing an example of the power of patience and perserverance.
-
As has already been said, I would suggest going through the core curriculum again if you haven't already. I learned so much more the second time around after taking a long break, especially the fundamentals like support structure. Have you re-taken …
-
@Redentore3337 I think you should defintely start to type out or write down during your blind review. Re-write the stimulus, label as you please and write down your anticipations and then write down why you think the four incorrect answer choices a…
-
Is it specific question types? What about difficulty level? In addition to what has already been stated, I'd suggest trying to anticipate the answer choices. So when you're done labelling the premise and conclusion, cover up the answer choices and w…
