I’ll be missing the first 1 hour and a half.

@keets993 & @btownsquee , who's Terry?

@juanmapm said: "Church of Blind Review" Pretty sure I'll be plagiarizing this sometime in the future. Glad to hear about your victory!

Just to add to what other have said, one of the advantages to doing the game on your own first is that you have a better sense of your own improvement. If you consistently watch the video first, you deprive yourself of that metric because your resul…

@mariev22 said: Hi friends! Trying to stay cheerful after my trainwreck of a practice test today. I’m wondering if any other folks saw a drop between their diagnostic test score abd their first practice test score (after completing the co…

I've seen this article float around before, but it never ceases to be encouraging! Thanks, @mrbuttons !

First off, congrats on your 161. Even if it's below you targetr score, that's a solid performance for 3 months of prep. With regard to your question, I don't think it has to be an either/or situation. In fact, I think it's best to do a mix. Drillin…

@AlexRexeger said: So other than BRing PTs, I’ve also started keeping an ongoing list of LR questions I got wrong and going over those when I get a chance. Do you think reviewing RCs you’ve taken before but had trouble with again is helpful at…

I use my iPhone, a standard photography tripod, and this little, horizontal arm that I made from some scrap wood. Seems to do the trick!

Yeah, it's pretty common for me to make a couple erasures per game.

@"Drew Alterio" , I agree with every person in this thread who has said to stick with telling people the actual reason (whatever that is). A large part of performing well on the actual test is being able to reduce the amount of pressure you feel to…

@"Drew Alterio" said: It comes up before I even did my BR though. That's why I'm confused. Are all the questions that you got wrong listed as “Very High”?

Hey everyone, I just updated the spreadsheet and added a couple questions that gave me frustration. Here's the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18ZoI9Nu-8SmhPh_MBpz8W6hEcDV1CyhZJVPKDQ7s08E/edit#gid=0 Add away!

Even though the CC is arranged in that way, I think once you're finished the CC it's helpful to adjust your preparation to you weaknesses. So, if I was in your shoes, I'd ask myself a fundamental questions, Even if I can't do it quickly, am I confi…

https://media.giphy.com/media/zjQrmdlR9ZCM/giphy.gif It's like looking in a mirror while doing my BR!

@ebalde1234 : Have you already foolproofed a large number of games? I found that the repetition of foolproofing helped to make the reasoning more intuitive/mechanistic. While it is more challenging to recognize those patterns in LR, it certainly pro…

If you’re as confident as you sound, I would also suggest applying to re-examine the score. Hope things work out well for you!

@e_217Cas said: bummed out! Debating on whether to go through the CC one more time and give it another shot in November. Is it possible to go up 10 -15 points from here to November? There's a few relevant points that it would be helpful to h…

Just to clarify, I assume you’re applying to American schools?

Can you describe your strategy for parallel flaw questions? Assumption questions can be tricky to diagnosis, but parallel flaw questions can be fairly cookie cutter, and one you have a good strategy, they are far more manageable. I have a couple sp…

@currentlystudying said: Hey 7sagers, When I have a conditional rule, do I have to test the conditional rule AND it's contrapositive in the rule testing type questions (the ones that frequently occur as the first question in each game)? E…

MSS are probably my least favorite question types for RC. So, you're definitely not alone! But, there's a webinar by Sage Jimmy (https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/jimmy-rc-qt/) that helps to clarify the expectations for RC MSS that has helped me to…

@lsatplaylist said: @"paulmv.benthem", It's OK if you don't remember, but by any chance do you recall where in the webinar he talks about this? Thanks so much for your guidance. It's "David's Six Tips on Doing it Right" (https://classic.7sa…

I'm not sure what prep materials you've been using thus far, so it's kinda tricky to say whether Ultimate+ would aid you more than what you're currently doing. One of the key advantages to Ultimate+ for LR is that it has the more difficult LR quest…

@"forest.dearing.2017" : Sounds great! I just added you to the message thread! We'll be meeting via GTM on Monday evening at 6:30 EST. Looking forward to meeting you!

It's "David's Six Tips on Doing it Right" (https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/davids-six-tips-on-doing-it-right/). I often return to this webinar when I need to reorient myself. Hope it helps!

@lost_kub : Will do!

@JustDoIt said: I would pick one sentence out of each paragraph and use that as the main idea. Then I would craft a nice little story together using those statements. Also, I think it is best to do @"Accounts Playable"'s method of summarizing …

Wowzers, @ebalde1234 , you move quick. The only Canadian schools I'm anticipating applying are UofT/Osgoode/UVic/Dalhousie...So, I'll let you know what their responses are.

@kwdardis : We only worked through Section 2. I suspect, given the fact that few people had added their names to the questions for Section 3 on the spreadsheet, that most people anticipated only doing the one section. I'll be sending out a message t…
