Typically, I prefer sequencing games. Though, as I've gotten better at chaining up the conditions and being able to see inferences within the chain, I've actually gotten more reliable with in-out games.

Howdy! I totally get those mind-busting LR scores. Don't give up! Just to clarify, have you already worked through the 7Sage curriculum?
-
Well, I wouldn't use the term "dwindling" to describe your scores. They seem to be gathered around a fairly consistent norm (i.e. your average does not appear to be decreasing). What is, approximately, your score breakdown for sections? Also, do y…

I probably would not be a good judge of whether you could reasonably hope to be scoring in the 170s by June. I do know, though, that it can be tricky to break that 160 threshold, so don't give up! Nonetheless, with regard to LGs, I recently stoppe…

Hey guys! Does anyone know which PT is on the slate for this upcoming Tuesday?

I would agree with @westcoastbestcoast; best to know what score you're aiming for and what your diagnostic score is before making a decision. Were there particular sections that you found easier or more difficult than others when doing problem sets …

Everything you've written looks correct to me! And, yes, assuming there are no other rules bearing on "T," if "N" is satisfied, "T" becomes a floater.

Nicely done! Keep up the great work!

@lsatplaylist said: Just had to mention I hear there's a webinar on LG drilling and foolproofing next week and I bet it'll be helpful for review exercises in general. Excellent!

I've grown mighty fond of granola, blueberries, strawberries, and bananas about 3 hours before taking a PT. I don't find I get hungry, and I'm pretty sure the blueberries help cognitively.

Hey @yahejazi, sorry about the delay! Here's what I got, Stay FOCUSED Construct a “low-resolution” summary of each paragraph before moving onto the subsequent paragraph. Sometimes this might only be a couple words that provide a general over…

Dear @hawaiihi, last evening I spent about an hour and half stalking your posts on the 7Sage forum related to RC, taking notes, of course. Normally, I go at about -3 to -4 on RC, but I drilled an RC section this morning and got -0 for the first time…

Could I get in on this?

I use basically the same technique as @"Leah M B", and I've found to be the best system. I used to just pause and try to imagine low res summary before moving onto the next paragraph, but I find, especially if I'm feeling a little low on time, I hav…

I was in a similar situation earlier in January -- not scoring in the range I wanted, but scheduled for the Feb LSAT (And, Canadian!). In the end, since I wouldn't be applying till next cycle anyway, I opted to push the test back to June. Thankfully…

For me, it really depends on the level of difficulty. In most cases, if I read the passage carefully, then I can usually pick out the gap. I'll then make a little annotation in the passage to highlight the gap, and then I will move onto the ACs to f…

Are you writing the LSAT in North America and/or applying for law school in N.A.? I'm not sure whether this would come as a relief or real downer, and it may be different for schools in the US, but I know for the schools I've researched in Canada, …

I'd love to get on this as well!

@lsatplaylist said: Cool; how cold does it get there? I'm in Winnipeg as well, and yesterday was about -30C/-22F. On the plus side, it easier to stay inside and study when the weather outside is less than inviting! Congrats @Sjshibley on g…

Well, can't really say I'm "killing" it; I'm sure others are doing significantly better than I am. Nevertheless, on my diagnostic I got about a -8 on RC and after practicing for the past few months, I typically go either -2/-3. Probably the biggest…

I've actually also been bubbling my answer after each question during LR and after each game or passage for LG and RC. But, I've been thinking lately that I need to modify my technique for LR. I like the idea of bubbling the answers immediately prio…
