@username_hello said: Hey all, i just spent 3 hours BR'ing my RC section. I would reread the passage (do low and high res summary, VIEWSTAMP, etc.), and then go over questions i circled. I would prove 1 AC right and 4 AC wrong, often with…

@kpane said: Hello everyone, I have been crushing it lately in Logic Games when I do timed sections/tests, but can't seem to improve at all on LR. I am thinking of going back through most of the LR curriculum, but I wanted to hear from yo…

What does your current study strategy look like for learning the games? Do you drill games individually or in sections; do you use a timer or a stopwatch; are you working through past games in a particular order? These are all helpful things to kno…

This, actually, is a tricky question to answer because whether you find the later PTs to have more difficult LR sections is dependent on what aspects of LR you find challenging. Yes, the question stems in later tests do appear to be more straightfor…

For myself, to what extent I annotate really depends on the question type and the particular question. For types such as Argument Part, Sufficient(& Pseudo) Assumption, and other types that rely heavily on being able to parse out the elements of…

Undoubtedly, the best source I've found for identifying common patterns in weakening/strengthening questions is this webinar by Nicole Hopkins: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/weaken-strengthen/ Not what you asked for...but a great resource!

@alyhobbs I think the materials describing the method are available to all subscriptions. But, when I began with Ultimate, I didn't have all the LG sections compiled in the one digital document that I have now with Ultimate+.

I’m a strong believer in recording during drilling sections and PTing. I’ve found it immensely helpful for refining my technique. That being said, this morning I couldn’t find the cable for my phone while heading out the door to write a PT, and it …

I think you might be confusing two question types. In the case of a flaw question, your goal is not to weaken the argument, it’s to identify why the argument is already weak. For a weaken question, you want to find an answer choice that weakens the…

@alyhobbs said: You can find the whole bundle farther down in the CC right after RC. There is a tab labeled LG Drills for PrepTests 1 to 35. I’m pretty sure that package is only included with the Ultimate+ subscription.

@alumivacui said: Has anyone found the automatisation of these useful in their studies for the LSAT. . . or . . . believe they would have been useful to know while actually writing the test? The questions you raise is a valuable one, because…

For the three PTs I took after finishing foolproofing PT1-35, I averaged about -1 in LG. Consequently, I didn't do much to maintain the skill, and it was reflect in my scores, dropping to -4. Since then, I've been doing at least one section of logic…

Congrats on finishing the CC! As for the anxiety, I totally get the trap of becoming fixated on this test, but I try and remember that there are things that I want my life to include -- things other than just the LSAT or my future career as a lawye…

I think what's important is that you are feeling uneasy about having him as a tutor. Studying for the LSAT is difficult enough without having an additional layer of social anxiety playing into the mix. Moreover, there are too many fantastic tutors o…

@ebalde1234 said: Hey everyone hope everyone is doing well. Right now I'm putting in about 5 hours a day give or take - 6 days a week approx. If I do any more will I burn out ? At this point, how would you say you're level of focus…

Way to go @Emily2122 ! That's a great jump; you should be proud!

@BinghamtonDave said: I think absent any statement about the amount of time in our unit of measure: per day or per week etc and whether or not the amount within that unit changed over the given time, I don’t think we can infer 1,2 or 3. My t…

@BinghamtonDave said: Did you choose 4? Yuppers! When I first read the question, I was excited that I picked up on how they were trying to trick me...yeah, not so much.

Was this a cold diagnostic test?

@Ohnoeshalpme said: I’ve only taken 3 PT’s so I don’t have substantial data about my strong and weak question types for LR. Based on the three PTs you've done so far, is their any recognizable pattern? If there is a question type or two that…

Unfortunately, there's no simple answer to your question. As you continue to famialize yourself with the assumption questions and strengthen/weakening questions, it will become easier. That being said, you note, @huntershaw98 said: This has le…

Welcome here, Bernie!

Well, first off, congrats on the improvement! Success in RC is hard-earned! In terms of moving forward, have you tried recording yourself while doing timed sections/PTs? For myself, reviewing footage of me drilling RC sections was one of the bigges…

@ElleWoods77 said: I graded my PT right after and it looks like we were right it was D, I knew E didn't sit right with me. Hmmm...so it was D. Even though I choose it as my original choice, I think I'll still write out an explanation in my n…

@"Adam Hawks" said: @keets993 I'm down to do S4 whenever. Just put the word out, and I'll swoop in. Same here! Though, depending on what evening, I might need to pass. Gotta get some sleep the night before PTs. Also, did anybody go and che…

Of all the methods that J.Y. has provided in the curriculum, his approach to point at issue questions is probably one of the few that I've never been able to utilize. That being said, I haven't tried very hard, so for some it might be worth it to in…
