@"Cant Get Right" Sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm new to trying these study groups. Can anyone just join in or is there a registration? Also, do we submit questions ahead of time? Thanks!
-
@ryancoulter96 Thanks for the info. That is good to know. Maybe I'll look more into Queens as well. Good luck with study and applications!
-
@"Alex Divine" For sure. You will do great. And maybe you can even sneak in a travel somewhere before you start school. This is totally unrelated to this thread, but I really think some good backpacking travel is what your 20s are for, even if ju…
-
Sounds good @"Alex Divine" For what it is worth. I don't know your age, but I'm 33. I took nearly 10 years off after undergrad, traveled and lived abroad for 5 years by myself, wrote and published a ton, was a hospice volunteer, worked as a waitre…
-
@"Alex Divine" Big congrats! I really respect your dedication and hard work to doing well. I started studying using 7Sage in late October, but back then I was working and so was studying about 3 hours a day 6 days a week. I also found at the begi…

@ElleWoods77 yeah I think it is a good idea to have that flexibility, and thanks for the support! @MichaelTheArchAngel thanks for the post. I hadn't read that section, so that was useful. My general sense is that if you are a mature applicant, th…
-
@"Alex Divine" Fair point. I'll try some with no erasing and compare timing. It may be that the saved time in answering one ore two questions is worth the time spent writing out sub game boards again. Worth a try
-
@"Alex Divine" yeah not sure if I want to work internationally, but it would be good to have the option open. You think Harvard is more respected than Yale internationally?
-
@MichaelTheArchAngel I didn't realize there was a different LSAT median for mature students. Is that true? I'm nearly 10 years out of undergrad so I'm definitely mature student Good point on the LLM. I'll keep that in mind. @ryancoulter96 than…
-
@MichaelTheArchAngel Yeah, I hear you. I definitely can't afford 60K a year (really 90K when you add health insurance, living expenses, etc.), but at the same time, I feel at a place like Yale so many doors could open to you that would not open …
-
I think there is a difference between erasing whole game boards (which I agree is stupid) and erasing variables in gameboards for new set ups. I just think when you have a ton of sub game boards with a ton of categories, writing them all out for eac…
-
I go back and forth on this a lot. I'd be open to others thoughts on this, but I don't see how you could have enough time to not erase sometimes on game boards where you have tons of sub game boards. Do you guys really write out every single sub g…
-
good reminder!
-
Actually, that said, maybe only doing 3 or 4 more full-length practice tests would be totally enough. And focus the rest on timed sections. Probably a good idea
-
@"Alex Divine" Yeah that makes sense re: essay. I think I'll probably do 4 or 5 at least, just to feel confident with knowing the kind of questions they give and the structure they like. Agree it isn't a major concern, but for those high end schoo…
-
@"Alex Divine" Totally agree with you on this. I actually think this was one of my mistakes in the beginning. I was obsessed with doing full time tests and improving at least a point each time and it took a while to realize that this was a stupid …
-
@Gladiator_2017 Yeah, I have struggled a lot with LG in general. I finally feel, after tons of practice, that I'm getting to a place where I can do most all of the questions, but I'm still working to finish the whole section under time Good luck!
-
Thanks @"Alex Divine" I hope you are right! I'm definitely getting more nervous as the day approaches
-
@"Alex Divine" Great discussion. I'll also just add that I'm really glad I decided to shift from the earlier tests to now focusing on 60s and 70s (60s for timed sections and 70s and 80s for full practice tests). I do think the material is present…
-
@Gladiator_2017 Ah I see! thanks that helps a lot. I was trying to apply normal conditional logic and couldn't figure out what was up.
-
@USER123456 Yeah, so you feel the same as me. It wasn't consequential for that game but I'm more trying to understand the logic under what J.Y did. Not so much for just this question but just in general if there is a larger logic principle I might…
-
@missions I guess depends where you are in your prep. At this point I'm using 60-69 for timed sections and 70-81 for full tests
-
Curious if you feel it was more a psychological issue than an issue of you not understanding the material? As @uhinberg says, people often underestimate this. I highly recommend taking up meditation practice if you can. It can work wonders for foc…
-
good idea, thanks
-
@"Alex Divine" the tip on subvocalization is a good one! thanks I agree with what you and @uhinberg are saying in general. In fact, even with most science passages I can get most questions even if I don't know everything going on in the passage. T…
-
@goingfor99th Possibly. I also think it might depend on the type of passage. You should check out that passage I posted. It's insane Also just curious if people ever skip whole passages to come back to at the end? I think this may be useful for …
-
@goingfor99th It's funny cause I feel the opposite with science passages I feel like with the other passages I can focus a lot more on broad strokes and structure of arguments (my undergrad major was religion, literature and the arts so I'm much …
-
This is the one I just did that tanked my confidence At least J.Y admitted it is a super hard one https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-63-section-4-passage-3-passage/
-
@tringo335 Totally feel you! Working down the anxiety under timed conditions is half the LSAT battle imo

@"Alex Divine" Thinking Fast and Slow is one of my favorite books
