I just started regularly taking PTs, and I feel that I'm under-utilizing my scrap paper. I find myself reluctant to use it, as it feels like a time sink.
I'm curious to know how people strategize using scrap paper to help them effectively, so I can brainstorm some ideas for myself. I'd love to hear tips and tricks as well!
Thanks in advance :))
I was listening to an older 7sage LSAT podcast from before this new website was launched and they were talking about changing the settings on the analytics page to show more updated stats from the last 3 PTs taken. Is there a way to do this on the new website? I'm not sure if I'm missing it, but it would be super helpful to track recent progress. Thanks!
I'd love to join the group chat as well! Planning to take the October LSAT :)
I've found that doing a wrong answer journal and some deep reflection on why you got answers wrong during a PT and right during blind review, then implementing that reflection into a weeks worth of drills/practice before doing another PT (weekly) has helped me a bunch! By reflecting on what I've gotten wrong and what methods to use to change them, I've been able to jump my PT scores to what I have previously been getting on BR.
I'm also taking the test in october! Best of luck 🤞
From what I've read and experienced in my own practice, the negation of the correct AC will make the argument collapse. I don't think I've come across one that just weakens it. I like to think of the right AC as adding that extra *necessary* piece of info that allows the premise to bridge completely to the conclusion.
I was listening to a 7Sage podcast about this issue, and it seems like it's a mindset issue. I'm taking this October test coming up, and I'm sort of going through the same thing. I think we need to remember that we know how to do this, that overwhelming ourselves with stress is only making us perform worse, and that it's ok to take a break. 4-8 hours every day, right before the test, can so easily make you burn out. Take a break, go easy on yourself, and remind yourself that you have already done all you can. The information's already in your brain. Good luck!!! 🧘♀️ ✨
