The AMA train continues!
Join me on Wednesday for a great discussion with JY about how I worked my way up to scoring a 177 on the September LSAT.
The short answer: the 7Sage community. It truly kept me engaged and motivated to do my best. We will talk about my LSAT journey, the section strategies that worked best for me, studying phases, and more. It turns out that I actually enjoy this test, and I hope this will be a fun and informative conversation.
I hope to see you there!

Yes, it is being recorded. No worries!
GREAT! How can we access it later?
Hey everyone! Thanks for joining me. I had a lot of fun and appreciate your thoughtful questions.
For those who missed it, don't fret. JY recorded the webinar and it will be posted sometime soon.
Here are some parting thoughts:
Your studying really does depend on where you are at ability wise and time wise. Josh already gave a great webinar about that, so go listen to it! https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/
Skipping is so important. JY did an amazing webinar on it: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/skip-it/
One thought I didn't mention during the webinar, but which I really think is important is this: If you want to build the highest pyramid, you've got to build the widest base. That means you've got to get your fundamentals as strong as possible. Sage Allison made this point in a webinar: if you can memorize it, then memorize it! For example, logic translations. That can be memorized and perfected. So do it. Here's her webinar: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/lsat-prep-for-170-plus/
It's all about intentional, high quality prep. In the beginning I skipped out on diagramming questions, and I paid for it later on. I had to go back and learn that foundational skill. Better to just do it in the first place.
I accidentally missed it......I will listen to the recording!
Does anyone know where can I find the recording for the AMA?

Can't wait!
Hey @tphillips253 welcome to the community!!
why dont you start a new thread for your question.
More people can see it that way.
I will be there
i have problems with standardize testing? what do you suggest.
Thanks again for doing this.
Hoping this will be recorded for posterity... and by posterity, I mean later playback by me.
Anyway any one can record this? I work and won't be able to attend.

@figueroa10040 Good question.
I worked really hard to try to be able to sense when I was getting a question wrong. I think any time that you feel like it's a weird correct answer, you should be very suspicious. For me, I often misunderstood the stimulus or the correct answer, and so I would eliminate the correct answer. Then, I would get to the wrong answer I would end up selecting and go, "Huh, that is an unusual answer, but I've eliminated everything else so it must be right for arbitrary reason X."
Those are the times when you want to come back to the question at the end of the section and really scrutinize your response. Carefully re-read the stimulus and then really attack the answer you chose. Do your best to prove it wrong. After that, reconsider other answer choices.
Thanks. That's really helpful. I can already think of 2 answers from my last PT where that was my impression. Got both of them wrong of course. One follow up question... Do you think that developing that sense requires you to be very strict when you choose an answer during a section, and be very strict on the 100% confidence rule for BR? I've tried to implement a 25 in 25 approach to LR rather than my old 10 in 10 approach, and I think the result was that I got a bit sloppy and lost a little accuracy. When I am only 4-6 raw marks away from my goal score these little dips in accuracy really hamstring my scores

@jkatz1488955, you’re in luck! It hasn’t happened yet! Wait, are you a “Hermione Granger” in disguise? A time traveler, of sorts? Hmmm....I’d like that power.
Will this one be recorded like Josh's?
