Went through all of the LR modules over about a 45-day period, and here's what I found:
1) Reinforcement Drills: Before I proceeded to the next question type, I would take 5-Question untimed drills of the LR question I had just covered (assuming I didn't ace the imbedded drill towards the end of each type). If I wasn't able to achieve 100% clean take on a particular question type, I'd BR it and try again. This helps to reinforce your proficiency with the foundations of the questions and feel more confident putting it back on the shelf while you proceed through the lessons.
2) No Shame in Untimed Drills: Early on, I felt pressure to delve into timed work. Obviously not ideal, and it showed. The only benefit I gained was that it gave me the perspective of where I needed to get to vs where I was. You need to dive deep into the foundations of the logic and reasoning in each question type and understand what each type is asking you to do. I found that I didn't have those steps drilled into my head until I really sat with each type and wrestled with it without the clock ticking. People may say this build bad habits, but it's helped me gain confidence in my ability to attack the problem, which in turn builds speed/fluency.
I'm working through the fast track lesson series and I'm now noticing that both those lessons and this cheat sheet skip over "principle" questions. Is there a reason for this?
Would it be helpful if I wrote these down as flashcards with the typical question stem on one side and the correct answer critera / key tactics on the other?
I'd love to automatically have the answer criteria / tactics come to mind when I read the question stem every time, but I'm curious how much the question stem can deviate for the same type of question (which would make the flashcards less helpful)
Hey everyone! I wanted to get your thoughts on how to approach this lesson. Do you think it’s better to complete all the drills first before moving on, or read through and work as we go? The study plan only sets aside 15 minutes for this section, but the drills alone seem like they’d take longer. What do you all think?
@kglosenger Set this aside for later! I don't think the inclusion of this lesson in the study plan is meant to indicate that you should do all the drills on this page (there are just too many). It's more to point you toward a useful reference source that you want to return to as you continue to study LR.
@DylanLangedyk On the cheat sheet’s top right corner, you’ll find three options: View only, Open in code, and the three dots. Click on the three dots, and a menu will appear. There’s an option to print or export. You can export to a PDF file or print directly from the menu.
At first mine just showed a blank page and I thought it was a joke to say "there is no cheat sheet for the lsat!" I felt lots of relief when it finally loaded.

why do lessons alternate between vids and articles? vids for the win.
I noticed that after trying a few drills I can't get past the 20% I wonder if its because im missing something.

@Cjames03 It's because the strategy is defined more by whether it's an MSS kind or the Strengthen/Pseudo-Sufficient Assumption kind.
@Kevin_Lin That makes sense. Thank you Kevin!

@LSATKilla87 I feel like flashcards could be really helpful here. Feel free to drop the link if you do end up making them :)
love this page just wish there was an easy to download version so I can put it in my notes and in my study book
@TaraOfWaterdeep command P but save as a pdf,
Anybody have a copy of the old format of the cheat sheet?
Is anyone able to download and print this? I can't figure out how
@ryokace command P but save as a pdf,

Why is this marked as deprecated? Should we not use it? #help #feedback
@TiaraFulcher Seconding this question. I'd like to use this cheat sheet but it is not user-friendly at the moment.

@Kevin_Lin Thank you!
Are we using straight-line depreciation?
