I’m trying to drill inference questions in RC. Is it possible to pull up a list of inference RC questions/passages that have inference questions?
All of the tags I see in the question bank relate to the subject of the passage, whereas I can tell from analytics that each question is broken down by type somewhere on 7Sage. Thanks!
This is my friendly reminder for the survey questions. Super helpful talk thank you!!!!
To be eligible for random selection, do we have to attend the webinar via gotomeeting on a computer or is it okay if we call in?
At this point, most of us have spent many hours watching videos. Above these wonderful videos is JY's family avatar.
BUT WHAT IS IT? Is he on a jungle gym? Behind a giant steering wheel?
Please post hypotheses. Thank you.
@ @ @ Thank you all - very very helpful!!
Anyone have any suggestions as to the best way of tracking foolproofing?
Just starting out, but want a system in place before I do. I don't want to realize half way through that I should have kept track of something I hadn't previously considered, so would greatly appreciate input or suggestions of indicators from anyone who has gone this path before me. If I make a spreadsheet, listing each game (i.e. "PT 36, Game 1"), then what should I record to measure progress, and to make sure no games slip through the cracks? Time? Number correct? Date completed? All of the above?
Thanks!
this has been super super helpful thank you! @ @ @
i'll start at 2 a week and take it from there. also, would any of you have tips on whether it's better to drill by question type for LR or to take a whole section from PT 1-35? aka, better to nail a specific type of question through focused practice, or take an entire section where i get to practice a bit more mental dexterity?
If you retake the exam in December, should you wait until after you've received the new score to apply? Or should you submit before, with the old score, and somehow note that a new score is forthcoming?
Thanks! @
I hope that ~20 PT's will be enough to take me up those last 6 points.
Hi all! I'm planning on taking the September exam. I work long hours during the week and observe the Sabbath so I don't have more than ~8 hours per week to study (not enough!). I'm pretty much done with CC but want to get a bunch more PT's under my belt. I'm currently averaging a 166 but can usually BR to 175+. Hoping for 172.
So, how much time do you think I should take off to devote to studying full time, and how many PT's should I aim for a week? I was thinking of 6 weeks at 4 PT/week but would LOVE more opinions!
I remember coming across a site a few months ago where I could do some interesting admissions analytics. I don't remember the site, but do know the following:
I realize this isn't super helpful but for the life of me can't remember the site. So really any leads would be appreciated!!! Thanks!
You're so right @ but with my crazy full time work schedule most days I have to choose one or the other and ..... por que no los dos?
@ thanks so much that's a great idea!!! A brilliant time to watch webinars.
Has anyone had luck studying while working out - particularly doing cardio? I've tried drilling while on the treadmill but find it tough to write steadily. Any ideas/suggestions on other ways to be productive while at the gym?
When people mention that current LG’s have some tougher/funkier games more akin to older PT’s, which range of PT’s are they referring to (i.e. 30’s, 40’s, etc)? If there’s another thread on this, please point me in the right direction!
Thanks!!
Thank you all! @ did you give yourself a hard stop once time ran out or did you just make a mental note of where you were and keep going?
I'm ~~~lucky~~~ enough to be returning to studying for December post an oh-shucks-you're-better-that September performance.
I need to work on LG timing. When I do untimed LG sections or BR, I almost always get every question right. BUT when I'm confined to the all too claustrophobic 35 minutes, I find myself unable to finish - I barely even get through the 3rd game.
I've been foolproofing, and trying a game for the second go round definitely gets my time down, but I'm still too slow on first time games.
Advice?!?
For all those taking in July - registration is now live. Good luck getting a coveted test center!
I'd love to join you guys on weekends! I work 9-8 weekdays, so unfortunately that won't work unless you're down for late nights.
keep me in the loop por favor !!!
When are scores posted on the website vs. sent via email?
How have your scores improved from your first post-curriculum PT (not diagnostic)? i.e. how much have you benefited from the process of taking PT's and BR?
I signed up for the July Forum in DC thinking I'd be in town then. I'm no longer going to be there, but am considering making a trip (~5 hr bus each way) down in order to attend. To those who have been, is it worth it? Also, I'm taking the LSAT in September so won't have a score on file by then, if that affects anything.
U up?
Hi! I'm looking for a BR partner in the city/brooklyn for the September 2017 exam. I'm hoping for 170+ so while somebody with similar aspirations would be great, it's not totally necessary. Ideally we would meet on Sundays or early mornings on weekdays (6-8AM). Lemme know if you're down!!
Dang that is very impressive! I say take the whole day off. Most important is that on your rest days you are able to relax and not feel guilty about not studying. If you find that you aren't enjoying your Shabbat because you are worrying about not studying, then I say it may be beneficial to throw in a couple hours after. But if that's not a problem for you then TOTALLY take the day off and have some motzash fun :)
What is your strategy for the order in which you do the RC passages? Do you do them as they are presented? Most questions first? Saving science/art/etc for last? Start with the comparative? Something else? I’m curious!
Bummed I missed this can I join next week?
@ I watch the videos from the app so I didn't see that - but will check from a laptop. Thanks!
Still would appreciate a spreadsheet if someone had one though :)
How do I determine goal time per game during foolproofing? JY sometimes mentions them in his explanation videos, but when he doesn't should I just assume it's ~8.5?
Even better, does someone have a spreadsheet of these?
@ this is very helpful - thank you so much!!!
I'd think you can be playful so long as you are not being facetious
