As others have said ... Length has nothing to do with difficulty. Nor does it really impact the amount of time you spend reading a passage (by more than a few seconds). As you build your chops, you'll be able to tackle even the most difficult passag…

@DumbHollywoodActor said: I think you’ll find that if you do type out the explanations and start reading other material, continuing to do 3 timed tests per week will lead to burnout. Agreed. I've been teetering there. I've only been doing 3-a-week…

@DumbHollywoodActor said: I actually typed out explanations for my first 5 PTs until I reached a 175 BR score. The man. Right here.

@bSM45LSAT said: I generally catch my silly mistakes in BR, but reading LR I almost always just go with my original answers. When I fully BR (meaning go through at least every circled question and every AC) I deliberately don't use my original te…

Dying right now ... Very seriously considering getting this "exceptional" item.

Hey guys! We are doing PT57 on Weds because Saturday was cancelled. @bSM45LSAT so do PT57 if you can

Weaknesses that might otherwise have been smoothed by a few more minutes glaring and unforgiving in the limelight of 30 min brutalities. That is all.

@lschoolgo neither is taking with only 30 minutes per section XD I think in the future I'm only going to do 28-30 min/section on retakes. Because 30 min/section on 72 = brutality bordering on masochism. Or, well, I dunno. The pain, tho. The pain.

@c.janson35 said: If you are consistently at a 171 with a -5 LG score, then you are in prime position to advance deep into the upper 170's bracket. Took the words right out of my mouth (or, uh, the letters from my fingertips). Basically the most m…

@katherinestein24 said: Does anyone have any advice for using the trainer to complement PTing? First thing I'd do is dig deep into all of the chapters on RC. How much trouble is a "lot of trouble"—and is it a timing issue? I'd recommend watching …

@c.janson35 Nailin' it, per usual.

@sprflycat said: Thank you for this. I've never studied for a test that has such character as the LSAT has. It's adversarial, beautiful, complicated, sly, demanding, and a host of other very human characteristics. This personification of the LSAT …

@viviana7211 said: I think aiming for 30 hours per week is my best option and take it from there! 30 is a good number You might try to split the weekday study up. For instance, I was waking up at 6 and studying for about 2 hours in the mornings. …

IMO it would be a bit cumbersome to try and do the Trainer at the same time as 7sage, shooting for December. And that would still put you close to 40 hours a week for at least a few months to do things properly ... Has anyone successfully done thes…

@viviana7211 said: I cannot study 37 hours a week!! I work 45 hours per week!!! Haha ... Well, I was clocking in around 40 hours/week studying while working full time (Feb–May, now am PT/BR only, 3 PT's a week). Can you enter a custom date into th…

I know a guy who got a 149 on his diagnostic, paid $1500+ for a Kaplan course, sat for the test, and got a 149. So that's not really a strong indicator for ROI.

@viviana7211 said: and the bibles Skip these Do Trainer + 7sage. If you learn best from videos, start with 7sage. If you learn best from books, start with the Trainer. Set the test date on the 7sage schedule builder to October if you start with…

@c.janson35 is ON IT!

@allison.gill.sanford said: Looking for some advice here; is process of elimination the best strategy for answering all types of RC questions? Yes. Always POE. Folks who don't run out of time and go 0-2 use POE religiously. It's a great way to cat…

@c.janson35 said: So, for those participants who chewed gum throughout testing, the benefits of increased arousal were negated by the need to share brain power between the chewing process and the thinking process. Yikes. @c.janson35 said: Howeve…

Some (old) discussion here. One test taker reports proctor specifically said "no gum." http://lsatblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/cigarettes-coffee-gum-allowed-test-day.html And FWIW, why put yourself in a position to annoy other test takers? Why be **th…

@Jsohn001 said: Is there a proper way of sorting these question types out in greater detail? I find they're often subsets of other question types. So we'd need to talk about specific questions. Often I'll categorize a Q in one way and find that 7…

@c.janson35 said: There's a secret trick behind the reading comprehension section, and that is: comprehending what you read. Love this! And you are 100% correct! Honestly, I've never thought about it in this way. Simple and elegant. And what does…

@"Alan Cheuk" Given that there is the keyword functionality for at least some questions/passages/games, would it be possible to equip the 7sage platform with search functionality, at least where these are present? I'm unfamiliar with the data archit…
