@jaffri thank you!!!! Im testing tomorrow but aiming for my goal score for June. Good luck to you too!

Im taking it tomorrow... drilling this am for 1-2 hours and watching Legally Blonde & Scandal tonight ☺️

Why thank you!!!! I found that the analytics section was super helpful. So for me conditional reasoning was (and still is 😭) my highest priority so I re-did the core curriculum there and slowed down to digest and really take my time on the skill builders (I was breezing through it before, truthfully).

Then I did 5-8 drill sessions on just conditionals (show the answer right after, not at the end) and would actually watch the explanation videos (both if theres one from Kevin & JY), read the discussion for those questions too. Basically, I treated a wrong answer like something to understand versus just getting frustrated. I find talking to chatgpt about how I felt during the question and my approach/reasoning helped me diagnose issues and close the gap. I repeated that process for all the "highest" priorities... one week for conditionals, another for MBT, etc. And Im not afraid to spin the block and revisit the core curriculum for a 5th time. Get what you pay for!!!!

Speed will never improve accuracy but accuracy will improve speed. That mantra helps me slow down when I just want to rush and get over it.

TLDR; I got over myself and realized that I actually don't know the material as well as I think I do if under pressure Im getting them wrong. So I started treating myself like someone who didn't know the material and that has really helped me.

I would recommend picking one thing right now -- speed or accuracy. Its kind of like running... you can train for distance or speed but not both at the same time in the beginning.

And it seems like accuracy may be a better place for you to focus rather than speed (speed will come once accuracy improves). When I was seeing a big gap between BR and timed... I just stopped timing myself and slowed tf down to actually grasp the concepts and learn my blind spots (now I catch myself overthinking and snap out of it). I just had to meet my mind where it was at... instead of forcing it.

Ive gone from 146 on diagnostic to 161 in about 7 weeks. My goal score is 170+ so I have some ways to go but this is what has helped me so far. Good luck and be easy on yourself!

"dont underestimate this baby!!!!"

even my little picture was wrong... lol these are one of those that I'd need to skip or POE...

I just started in Feb too. Taking April + June -- its a marathon, not a sprint. Effort wont betray you!

Question 2 ended my study session for the day. Brain = fried.

following! love from Queens, we got this.

Godspeed!!! You got this. Happy Lent, Ramadan Mubarak and Happy Lunar New Year <3

the key to this one for me is the nuance of being CITED as late and being late... those are two different things. And being late doesn't guarantee you will be CITED as late.

@ZachistheLawyerinCharge watch on 2.5x :)

Im aiming for 170+ -- doing April to shake off nerves but goal is scoring in June. If you think you want to shake off nerves, I say do both if you can financially swing it!

agreed! and when I see both a Kevin AND J.Y explanation... I feel spoiled :)

I always RUN to Kevin's explanations... for some reason - they just work better for me. Any way to describe his approach versus JY?

this lesson unlocked something for me -- I feel my brain growing!!!!

@EliOsborn LOL LOL I used to live in the bay and those birds FASCINATED me.

Love tip to read more... literally was stumped by an LSAT question cause I didn't know Aristotle's works... IM JUST A GIRL 😩 Anyways, adding the philosophy classics to my list!

wait so, this IS an argument. right? lol
