  • @hakeemmuhammad498 its interesting to hear (well read I guess) about the "Tuesday" and "Thursday" example you gave. I've had issues similar to this. I'll read "S" but write something totally different like "M" or the word could be "approach" and I'l…
  • I also didn't know the calls were lasting that long. That's not a bad thing! Whatever it takes!
  • Thx guys! @"Cant Get Right" @MoralVacuum I do do my own BR because the call would just seem like watching another video or listening to another lecture. I wouldn't get the same benefits without it. I haven't joined a call since this summer when JY w…
  • @strasvery yeah I wouldn't be too quick to do that. As soon as you get comfortable with that strategy you'll come across one of those questions that may have a trick AC or something. People generally say 10 in 10 or 15 in 15 but I still think you sh…
  • This is crazy! You "need" to make some sort of notation for every section of this test. Nope. Are they passing out touchscreen tablets??
  • @vduran1988 check out the webinar on strengthen and weaken questions, if you haven't already. It hits on what @legal_name is referring to by blocking alternatives. The argument could be causation/correlation, argument by analogy or phenomenon/hypoth…
  • Cool cool! You guys both hit on what I was asking. @"Cant Get Right" @"Alex Divine"
  • Crazy but I bet I know what presuppose means now!! I felt a little slow sfter looking up the definition. It's easy to get bogged down on everything and overthink making everything much harder than necessary. I'm sure that's how it's designed though.
  • Who still remembers that crap??! It's hard enough for me trying to remember how to write my name in cursive. It's illegible on purpose. I wonder if people really read the essays anyway? I'm sure they would soon quit their job after having to figure …
  • @"Cant Get Right" said: A lot of it is genuinely interesting and if you can find a Crash Course video or something that presents it better than an LSAT passage, it'll help. With new passages, you'll start to wonder what more there might be to it, a…
  • @rakinalikhan Yes! It happens and I've yet to find anyone that can explain it! It's weird. Congrats to you! Don't ask any questions, just take it and run with it!
  • @melloish how are you doing BR? I'm not sure I understand why you say it's making you uncertain? The goal of BR is to stay on the question until you get the correct answer. Before moving on you should know why the four AC are wrong and the one AC is…
  • @dennisgerrard I don't think the LR explanations go back that far. I think they start around 1PT 5-16 depending on the pkg you bought. Check out the Manhattan LR forums for those. They have just about every question going back to PT 1. I only have e…
  • @DallasOnFire I think it is worth it to redo those tests before using your clean ones. If you've scored 179 before, why not on these tests? That's something you want to know! Or maybe you'll notice something new or subtle in a particular question ty…
  • @nader.parham is filling in the bubble sheet after your normal practice? I bubble as I go just because I'm scared of making a bubbling error and/or running out of time. Have you ever had a bubbling issue? Or, have you ever tried bubbling as you go a…
  • @"Cant Get Right" you haven't noticed any lost time with switching between colors? That was my initial concern. I'm not sure if you can use pens but does anyone remember the pens from the 80s that had like 4-5 different colors in one pen and you p…
  • I've got 99 problems but this ain't one! @dudejay25 I would so add this 100th problem. Kudos to you! I have no recommendations unfortunately. As stated above, I think the only way to address your concern is to circle those that you aren't 100% on th…
  • @Nina_Lucas I agree with everything @"Alex Divine" stated above but I would like to add why I think the book is just fabulous! The book starts with the Flaws. IMO, this is hands down the best section of the book. I would purchase the book just for t…
  • @EmmaWI88 trying doing one LG section a day with the fool proof method along with PT or drilling and see how that works for you. Some people work on LG solely for about a month but depending on where you are it might not be enough time for you to ge…
  • @"Artak Mamikonyan" watch the RC webinar as well. It focused on the question types. I think your answer regarding reading for structure type was answered above but I would also recommend picking up The LSAT Trainer. It discusses reading structure re…
  • @"Artak Mamikonyan" RC is a tough one so I'll leave this one to the gurus. For me, I've determined that I'm trying to understand too much of the passage, thus taking too much time reading, rather than focusing on the structure. For LG, what is your …
  • @Euthyphro you're going to get different opinions on this. Some people drill like games and some people drilled mixed games. I've done it both ways and I prefer mixed because you do get used to doing a certain type of game and you probably aren't pa…
  • @fightingtilltheend With LG being your worst subject you should take advantage of the free explanations. They're golden, IMO. As stated above, start with the Starter Pkg and upgrade later if you'd like. There is a 2 week guarantee, so if you don't t…
  • @nanchito said: Cute. I'll try those when after I go through my other 10,000 pencils. This! But seriously, what does this pencil do? I hate rubber pencils but I guess they all write the same, no? I get it, guys! J/K I'm struggling because my job …
  • @"Paul Pederson" said: A good piece of advice given to me by my older brother was don't forget to read for recreation so I don't lose my love of reading. Interesting because I've put all my recreational reading down. Felt guilty. I take breaks wh…

  • @gparmar92 under the Course tab select "My Notes". I haven't tried to print but see if that works for you.
  • @LSAT4234 I just stumbled across this. Take a look for RC and watch the webinars. https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/6811/rc-question-types-webinar-notes
  • Ha Ha! This is funny. The way everybody flips out expecting "grey day" I can only imagine what this timer could do! The last two tests have had me so nervous anticipating the score release and I didn't even take the freaking tests! I wonder which si…
  • @petkova because the September test is coming so fast don't worry about the number of PT you take. Just make sure you get the most out of each BR. Really tear them apart. Don't skimp! 2-3 PT a week is enough. I'm glad you're more comfortable with po…
  • @"J. Tharp" I read your post again and I see why you tried Nicole's method now. Have you seen a pattern of certain question types that you're missing? After reading The LSAT Trainer I saw there was a difference between main idea and main conclusion …
