EVERY test (and often repeated), so that they can have a fresh test, one that has a comparative passage (which A,B and C don’t)
Haha ... Like me!
Closing the timed/BR gap just takes time. Sorry—no silver bullet, no trick…

Only about 30 fresh PTs left.
... What ??! What do you mean "only 30 PT's"? You've barely even started. You'll be fine. Sit out and get the score that demonstrates the high end of your potential.

I'm assuming the only remediation here is to continue re-doing copies of games. If this is the case, have you found it true that this whole process takes an actual year?
You could also try The LSAT Trainer! Trying a new approach can…

Do you think I should even grade it in the system under the circumstances?
I ... think you shouldn't worry too much about it Trust me—when you're at 60+ PT's between fresh takes and retakes, you won't care about one you took this …

No

question stems actually diverging from the clear cut categories 7Sage had them in in the PTs in the 60s and 70s?
There are definitely plenty of quirky stems! But the categories are still the same, in operation.

Do you guys find your elminating skills getting better by doin it constantly?
Yes.
@philippkirschbaum said:
Definitely, after every PT I go back and find a reason to eliminate every wrong answer choice for every LR and RC question…
I kept all of my Scantrons and dated them with scores. Then in 7sage analytics I put "notes" on all of my retakes saying things like "May 11th 167" to mark what my original score was.
@hjlee1992 said:
just wanted to double check before I spend 1500 +
Wait ... Why would you pay this much money? You can get fee waivers from 90%+ of schools—I'm a splitter and have gotten waivers from almost all of the T14.
@hjlee1992 said:
but we are not under the poverty line.
Then you will not receive the waiver, to my knowledge, but you should go ahead and apply as Pac says. All you need to do is submit a 1040, I believe?

If you get to the point in your life that you experience reverse discrimination then you're doing pretty okay and I wouldn't worry about it.

So my question to you all is, have you found any benefit in skipping around passages and putting some early work into those with the most questions?
This is, at the very best, a crutch. At the very worst, this kind of strategy w…
@tanes256 -- it'll be from the June 2007 test—likely the one about dating agriculture in Ireland.
@sean.marz Yes we'll all be hoping for smooth sailing from GoToWebinar as well as a successful recording of the whole thing

I know people want to pretend that they're going to hit the high end of their range, but especially on the first go round it is not super realistic.

For me is was fairly consistent prior to the 50's or so, then got super duper hard, and then got easier after about #67 or so.
Agree with this for the most part with a few exceptions. For instance, PT76's comparative.
@badgalriri said:
let us know if you find a solution!
Haha...are we looking for a silver bullet, here?
The key to improving on RC is learning how to make (or block) inferences based on the passage—just like in LG, and being able to refer to the p…
@josephellengar said:
Don't ever focus RC. It's just too hard to improve.
@josephellengar said:
RC has to be improved slowly just by reading more stuff in general.
I disagree on this. RC is all about learning inferences and eliminating based o…

So I think you may need to give less respect to the answer choices and, mostly importantly of all, ensure that you 100% understand the argument prior to touching the answers. Otherwise you could easily be spending 30 seconds/a…

Given that I work on games 6 days a week, does this appear to be normal?
Warm ups are a good idea—when you go to take the test you'll see a ton of people hanging around in the parking lot beforehand doing so.
