I'm the type of person who really understands what I am reading by actively annotating and writing in the margins. However I'm unsure how I can "write in the margins" with the online format. Any suggestions?
Some people like to highlight the different points of view, or author's opinion indicators. Others like to take notes using scratch paper. I think this is something you have to experiment with. Ultimately jotting down two or three words to "label" each paragraph might be the best approach for you.
when did these new lessons appear? this would've been so helpful to have earlier to study for the August LSAT. or to know in advance it was coming to help with pacing. :( #feedback
Is there a place where we can find the different modes of reasoning (phenomenon-hypothesis, rule-application, cost-benefit analysis, reasoning by analogy, etc.)?
I just finished the science passages just to be told the science passages are "deprecated" and are being removed. I am studying for the September 2024 LSAT. A heads up would have been nice :(
Thank you for letting me know that. I think I am going to take a practice test, and if I am seriously lacking in an RC section, go back and watch the new material.
Sorry about that! Feel free to jump around! You'll already have picked up a lot of the skills we discuss in the new curriculum. The new version just presents it in a more organized, explicit, and streamlined way. So don't worry if you feel it's worth your time to skip ahead and start taking PTs!
Would it be beneficial for me to watch the RC Method Overview, The Reading Process Part 1 and Part 2? Does the overviews have any of the skills not included in the old science passages? I just want to manage my time well with what I can study before I straight away into PTs and drills.

I usually don't get star struck but this is THE Kevin Lin LSAT mastermind. pretty awesome. Thanks for all the study help watched a lot on youtube too.
There was one circular reasoning committed in this lesson
How dare they ask me to read in a lesson module called "reading comprehension!"
@cmhrandall593 my exact thoughts
I think I'm going to approach this by reviewing my LR while I learn this
@tatumpowell1 How did that go?
Do you recommend studying for LR and RC simultaneously instead of following the study schedule/CC layout of LR first, RC last?
This can make a lot of sense, depending on your timeline. I think Foundations + bouncing back and forth between LR and RC is a fine way to study.
This was helpful!
It's just so helpful to learn the difference between LR and RC with the analogies of real-world lawyers.
RC=lawyers reading high court decisions=understand the rules and apply
LR=lawyers at trial=find logical flaws and attack
nice
When doing the PrepTests, I did the worst on RC. I hope to improve by the end of this!

The timing for this was perfect.
This new curriculum came out just as I was wrapping up LR and heading into RC. thank you!!!
Should we still go through the old science passage section? Or is it just a more condensed version of what we're learning here?
yeah im so confused
No need to do the old curriculum. Consider the new RC curriculum the one and only.
thank you so much!:)

Yesterday I thought I was done, today i see i am no longer done. But pleasantly surprised!

@caitlina29183 !!!! please!!! i agree this would be so helpful.
this is great I hope I have time to go through these resources before aug 8th

They just mean that the "Science Passages" module in our old curriculum will be removed. The passages themselves are still on the LSAT!
Thank you for letting me know that. I think I am going to take a practice test, and if I am seriously lacking in an RC section, go back and watch the new material.
Science passages are being removed? Do you mind me asking where you got this information?

I say jump into PTs first, then come back to review later!
