Isn't it sufficient to assume for AC C that if the seeds are plowed just before sunrise - they will be getting the brief exposure to sunlight since it's "just before sunrise"? Or am I just bringing that assumption in on my own? I guess if it's a cloudy day, the sun will still rise but there won't be much sunlight.
@ thank you for your answer! I like your approach and will definitely attempt to follow it for a couple of weeks to see if it improves my progress
@ thank you for your input! I think I'm getting nervous since the test is one month away and I feel I should be taking more PTs, but honestly it doesn't make sense to be repeating the same mistakes so going to try 1 PT a week for a couple of weeks and see if it helps!
Hi all,
I am still waiting to hear back from a couple of schools, I applied end of December/early January. With deposit deadlines coming up/some already passed I believe sufficient time has gone by. I have seen mixed advice online whether or not to send a LOCI before you hear back at all.
Is it inappropriate to send a short email reiterating my interest and commitment to the school?
Thank you!
This is amazing, Congratulations!! Very happy for you,and grateful you're sharing your journey. I have been taking a PT every 2 weeks since I started studying (~6 months, but 1.5 months with 7sage). I've gone up around 11-15 points, but I still have a decent way to go. Did it make a difference for you to take PTs after you completely finished your studying? Or did you sprinkle in a few PTs while you were still studying the core curriculum? I am hoping to sit for the Feb 2021 test, but in case I don't feel fully prepared and want to push my date I don't want to run out of tests, so I'm not sure if it makes sense to take a PT every other week while I'm still learning the material. Also, after you finished the core curriculum and you were taking a PT every other week - were you drilling in between? Once again, congratulations!! :)
what is the best practice in between PTs? for example, I am planning on taking 2 tests per week till the august test but I work full time so i don’t have the capability of doing BR in one day (takes me around 2 days to do BR). If I’m just taking tests (and not scoring where I want) + doing BR in between is it enough? Should I try one test a week and drill the second half of the week? Any suggestion would be great! Thank you
I'd like to join!
thank you for posting this
Just took the exam, I also had LG-RC-LR-RC
Getting a little nervous that that everyone is saying the second RC was harder, because I thought the it was easier. But I guess we'll see!
I understand why C is a trap AC, but how are AC B and D not making the same level of assumption? Aren't they both introducing an alternate explanation to weaken the argument? On what basis do we determine one assumption is better than another? #help
@ I think it’s a great approach to want to get questions wrong while learning, so you can truly learn where you need the most help. I'll definitely try to look at it this way rather than feeling defeated.
Thank you for your ramble! It made a lot of sense. I’m still in the process of learning the material, but when it comes to drilling I think I’ll try to push my limits like you did. I want to be able to do these questions in my sleep and anywhere else haha You just re-motivated me :)
interested!
@ thank you! I have the LSAT Trainer, but decided to start with 7sage first so maybe I'll take a look at that book as well. Was there any part of 7sage/any methodology you used that helped you with the LR section? For example - just watching the lessons/drilling?
@ thanks for your input! I saw you also mentioned in another discussion that "I have this theory about inducing stress and integration of the test into your day to day life so its not this whole oh shit time to do lsat thing" Do you mind expanding on that? I genuinely enjoy studying/try making it fun for myself, but since it's been a few months with little improvement I can feel myself starting to dread when I need to sit and study. Definitely want to try to avoid this feeling as much as possible!

@ Thank you! I agree, I have been doing just that.
I'm still going through 7sage material, but I'm not seeing much of an improvement in my regular score/BR score. I've been studying 7sage material almost every day since November, but for some reason when I sit to take a full test it's not sticking. (I had been using other studying materials before 7sage since July)
When I practice a few questions at a time, it's easier for me to get them right, but not a whole section.
Am I doing something wrong? I'm going through the core curriculum + taking one PT every 2 weeks. I BR the next day + review and log each question I'm getting wrong. LR is easily my most difficult section, then RC, then LG.
Is it better to focus on a question type for a couple of weeks and then move on? Or focus on a question type for a couple of days and incorporate it the more question types I learn? I feel like I get a good grasp of a question type, and move on just to get them wrong on the PTs I take and I don't know why. I'm re-watching lessons as well, but I feel like I'm not studying smart and there's a better approach. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Interested!
why isn't the "OR" inclusive? that is what led me to eliminate A. #help
