Hey everyone,
I want to get feedback and see if there is an interest out their in studying LR but with a focus on strategies that increase your understanding beyond just that PT and question.
Instead of the traditional method where we are just just blind reviewing and trying to understand the question in front of us, we will be focusing on identifying patterns behind each argument so we can carry what we learned over to other LR stimulus in future PT's.
A lot of speed in LR comes from our ability to quickly spot these patterns that are constantly repeating. These patterns are not about learning question types - the core curriculum does a phenomenal job of that - but more about argument types.
So yeah, let me know what you guys think and if you are interested. : )
Update:
I am going to let all of you decide what PT series you would like to use to study these patterns.
PT 30-39:
Pros: These are basically drill materials PT's and are considered ideal for burning in order to study. Even the very beginners can join this.
Con: These are older PT's and hence a little less relevant than 40 series. We have also seen a lot of these questions as part of our core curriculum.
PT 40-49
Pros: They are a bit more relevant though I think there is not that much difference as the logic has not changed much from PT 1. I think it's fine to burn these for drills as well since we still have 46 plus fresh PT's left after these.
Cons: Some people still like to use them as fresh PT's.
PT 50-59:
I had a private request for this but since I cannot edit the poll if this series is your preference you can just write this down as a comment below and I would count it in the poll.

I'm interested :smile:
I'm interested too - the 50's as well. Thanks!!
Very Interested in the 50's! Thanks!
Totally interested! Didn't think I'd be stuck on this section for as long as I have been. Thanks so much in advance for the added help!
@ji330 Hi, do we have a time schedule for the tutor? I am taking June LSAT on 25th (its Asia test date), and I would love to take the class before I take the real exam.
I'm very much interested!

This is a great idea. Sami our hero. (3 Would love this to be in the 50-59 but I guess patterns are patterns so they should show up in the older tests as well, even if they aren't as wordy as the modern versions.(/p)
You hit it on the nail here. The grammar changes but the logic stays the same. So it kind of doesn't matter what series I do. ; )

Just in time, I need help in LR from a master.
Actually since the polling result are pretty close, will it be a good idea to pull some questions from each era?
Thank you Sami!
