Do I need to have my LSAC number memorized?
-
@Mitchell-1 I love it. Brilliant.
-
Congrats, that's huge! Now that you've BR'd a 170, that means you have the capability of getting that on the real thing! Keep chugging along and you'll get there!

I skipped them. They're most of the same games used in the LG bundle anyways, and I personally felt better learning not how to do eight sequencing games in a row, but a sequence, and in/out, and double-layerd, etc. Basically, I have a feeling doing…

I draw arrows based on powerscore's classification system. If it's a MSS, I point an arrow down (the stimulus supports just one answer choice); if it's a strengthen, I point an arrow up (the one correct answer choice strengthens the stimulus); etc. …
-
I think it comes down to knowing that each answer can be 100% proved. So I do a lot of circling. I go through each game in 5-8 minutes, circling any questions I am not 100% sure of but moving quickly. I then go back through the games, working my way…

77 game 3 h o l y s h i t I would say "not hard once you understand the game board" but jesus I still don't think I understand the game board. Harder than the infamous virus game in 79 (#4). I will say though, I got -0 on that game all thanks to F…

@Sami I totally think our two comments are compatible You're still getting dressed for the LSAT, which makes your mind go into LSAT mode! I guess I said boxers because I figured no one would wear just boxers to the testing center haha, but yeah if …

@akistotle have you made a thread about this spreadsheet? I think it would be really helpful to go through how you fill it out
-
Haha I actually did better on 71 vs 70 (+2 pts). Felt like a fairly average test to me. I agree with LSATcantwin above; I think this could be a case study of what you need to work on You want to make sure than no matter if you get a test like 70 or…

The only reason I'd say change is isn't b/c it's too complicated, but it sounds very "academic." Like someone writing an essay. The PS should be personal. But if your personal voice is like that, or if it goes with your PS, then keep it!
-
Which passages are people FPing? Will it be like LG where 1-35 is conventional wisdom, or should 40-55 or so be more apt because of any changes in RC?
-
@LivePumpkin I view FP different from reviewing. After I do a PT/section, I reread the passage and answer the questions without any time constraint. If I were to FP (which I simply don't have time for), I would write a summary of each paragraph, wri…
-
Thanks all! I think I've decided that instead of doing as many LR and LG sections, I'm going to focus on RC and drilling problem types in LR. I also haven't been doing cookie-cutter reviews, which I think is important and I'm going to start doing th…
-
I definitely see that there would be benefits. I don't have time before the Dec test, but I've already decided that if I need to retake then I'm going to fool proof RC
-
Wait I'm sorry, but what's the question? Are you asking if the degree GPA will help your admission prospects? If you should write an addendum?
-
I think PFing just helped. Make sure you also do timed sections, not just timed games. This allows you to get used to working with 35 minutes, not just 5-8 minute predetermined time constraints
-
@"Dillon A. Wright" none of the questions were missing; just the first page of the section where it says the total number of questions is off. It says there's 22 questions but there's actually 25. Again it doesn't really affect anything, but I just …
-
Congrats! You need to just keep doing timed sections. Maybe not whole tests, but timed no matter what. Get your brain used to a time ticking down.
-
I also think it's important that most (like, 7/8) questions can be tied directly to a line in the passage. I find that really helpful because it gives you a concrete reason. And then I'm more likely to do that during the actual section, so it builds…
-
Way faster. But like everyone is saying, it takes time. If you don't understand the inferences you're required to make, then speed doesn't matter. Getting through 18 questions and getting 18 correct is way better than getting through 24 questions an…
-
Shockingly sudden. I went from 158-160ish to 165 (w/ a high of 170 and BR around 175). in about a month. Now that I've gotten that 170, I know I can do that on the real day. But this was also after I had finished FPing and drilling LR
-
I recommend before heading straight into timed sections that you do some untimed. This allows you to really think through and realize why an answer is correct. The more you look at LR, the quicker you'll become. This method has really helped me spot…

Good call. I have a good friend who got a concussion and decided to "push through" who now has to medically withdraw from all of her classes. She didn't give her brain time to heal and what should have been a two week problem turned into a multiple …
-
I've heard a really good strategy somewhere (which I've yet to implement) that has 1 full PT on saturday/sunday and then the first half of the week BR and then drilling the main things you've missed. This gives you both the experience of taking a PT…
-
Is this in response to a particular PT? The September test? The October one?

@kimmy_m66 I was wrong: it was researchers, not anthropologists. "To prepare for fieldwork, exactly four different researchers—a geologist, a historian, a linguist, and a paleontologist—will learn at least one and at most three of four languages—Run…
-
There's one about languages and anthropologists, which I remember being strange and confusing at first. I'm not sure of which PT that's in, but I want to say the 20s.
