I just saw that there was a new video that showed a very good student working through an LSAT logic game in real time, with JY providing color commentary. (could you imagine a TV channel that did nothing but this?). http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-35-section-3-game-4/#comment-30736.
I also remember seeing @"Jonathan Wang" doing an LR section in real time (25 questions in 25 minutes no less--- bows and incants “we’re not worthy!!” over and over again) on the boards, but I can’t find it anymore.
I think there are even more out there, but I’m having trouble finding them. Is there a way we can organize finding these videos in an easier fashion? I guess this is more of a question for LSAT Forum guru and all-aroung awesome guy, @"Dillon A. Wright”
I’m at a place now where I really understand much of the LSAT. I just don’t have the most efficient process to execute the LSAT in the time allotted. I think watching people knock it out of the park could really help.

Whoops, I left out some from my previous post. Here's the full list of live videos, some with commentary:
LG | 23, 35, 37, 71
RC | 5, 6, 70
LR | 69 S1, 69 S4, 71 S1, 71 S3
Since these videos contain licensed content from LSAC, you'll have to have a paid account to access them. They're located on the same page as where you'd normally find the explanation videos. Easiest way to navigate to them is via the LG Explanation Page and scroll down (after you're logged in):

Hey DHA, here's Jonathon's timed LR section:
I don't know how well this will help since most of the thought process behind LR questions is in the mind, as evident by how clean Jonathon's test is.
I'd never seen the section before. If I had, I would probably have answered the tough questions much faster, as I would naturally have thought about them more so that I could explain them better to my students. And, if I wanted to make myself look really smart, I wouldn't have struggled on so many questions. I would have just pretended to read a lot and then just circled the answer, and not been visibly frustrated/confused like I clearly was at several points.
That said, I realize there's nothing I can do to prove any of what I just said, so you can believe whatever you want.
Looking at the section again - #1 is a very easy strengthen question, #2 is a main conclusion with a very obvious structure, and #3's answer choice sticks out like a sore thumb by mentioning the obviously irrelevant profit motive. I think a lot of 170+ scorers would be able to get through those questions in 90 seconds or so. It's the more difficult questions where mastery starts to grow the gap.
He's doing the thing with the pen and the reading and the swiftness ...
In light of Corey's webinar on time management skills I want to bump this thread back to the top of the forums. This video of Jonathan working through the section, and his commentary after, just reinforces what Corey and Nicole spoke about during the webinar. Good stuff!

This was brought up on Discord so, why not.
do crazy persons skip questions at a higher rate than not crazy persons? If so, I demand a crazy person refund. ;)
Thanks @7sagestudentservices
HI @shirley0930usa200 Go to one of the Logic games explanation in PT 5, then scroll down and pick one of the reading comps. In each one is a video of JY doing it in real time. Same for PT 6
Updated my comment above to include PT 5 and PT 6's RC sections which have live versions. I'm 95% sure that's the final list for now.
You probably want to check those out since they're earlier PTs and won't ruin your PTs for timed runs.
Dillon's right - there's no organized list b/c there aren't many of them.
To date we have full live videos (some with commentary) for PTs 23, 35, and 37.
PT 23's have two live commentary versions for Game 1. It's interesting to see the contrast b/t a medium LG performance and a high LG performance:

The offer still stands! I watch him destroy PT62 or whatever in YT. With a MF pen, like a boss... #LSATporn

Looking at how Masters crack the LSAT is always encouraging!!!
I've always found that to be the "comfort zone" in RC. Otherwise, I'm a bit nervous.
Oh yeah. Watching this made me real happy.
http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-70-section-2-passage-1-passage/
Couple of things noted:
—In the read, referring back to first paragraph/tying elements in later paragraphs back to intro
—Lots of tactile cues (pointing, emphatic circling, "air tracing" lines with pencil tip); plenty of this in the Q's as well as the read
—For passage part/term usage Q's, reading a few lines above/below
—Marking out the text of the AC's instead of just the letter
~3:30 for the read and an average of 30 seconds per Q, by my math, for a total of 7:07. Just want to note that a thorough/proper read encourages swiftness in the Q's—just like spending more time diagramming/drawing inferences in LG enables swiftness in the Q's.
I am slightly obsessed with (this type of) video and would love to see more. Especially for RC and LR.
Oh jeez, I'm far from a guru. Or an awesome guy.
I don't think we have an organized list of live videos, but here's a bunch for PT 37:

I just had the utterly insane idea of making videos as 7sage students, posting them, and critiquing them for one another. Might be kinda cool.
And/or, doing this to see how we actually perform from another perspective. I bet you actor types do this, @7sagestudentservices ? "What does my face really look like when I think I am looking scary ..." Etc?
right? Then he starts twisting it like he’s Gene Krupa with a drumstick!
Yes @stepharizona288!! @476 is amazing!!
Bumpity bump because one of the awesome mentors brought it up in the webinar tonight.
I would pay to see Jonathan Wang do a full section!!!
bump:)
I would also check out PT37. There’s a great video of a high-scorer going through the test, skipping questions like a crazy person. It’s awesome. https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/preptest-37-preface-to-live-commentary-videos/
rollin up on a year and 3 months rn *scared face*
