Does it matter if I skip all over the syllabus? Should I be doing the curriculum in order?

Yes, my brain went blank!
DumbHollywoodActor. Yes argument is good, doing so respectfully. I appreciate you stating your opinions respectfully. That is what it is all about. Anyway, blah170blah answered my question which is all it was, hours ago. As well as LSATisland, as well as yourself. Thanks, very well appreciated.
DumbHollywoodActor. There is a way to disagree respectfully. If you are unclear about a post, then the appropriate thing to do is to ask for clarification. I don't feel the need to elaborate any further, as the post speaks for itself. From beginning up to this point.
Thanks for your response.
LSATisland. Will do. Thanks I appreciate your help.
If I was looking for validation I certainly would not look in your direction. When I paid for this course, I had no idea I would be bombarded with unwanted comments from self-proclaimed "mentors" such as yourself. Mentorship is a two way street, I don't recall asking for yours. Since you are anxiously sitting at your computer awaiting every key stroke, others are not able to give their input.
I am not receiving rent from you to take up space in my head or on my computer screen. You are officially ignored! Sorry, you're going to have to get your entertainment somewhere else.
Find another source to assist you in boosting your resume. "Mr. Mentor".
Dillon,
I beg to differ. Please see blah170blah response to me. That is the kind of communication that is needed. Concise, on topic, and respectful.
To: blah170blah . Thank you for answering my question. You are right on point. That is exactly right. I am not new to the LSAT, and was just wondering whether I should focus on areas of weakness vs spending time on areas that I am already strong in. Again, thanks so much.
J.Y also said this. 1. Be nice. Behind the screen is a person reading what you say to them.
J.Y said this: Being nice is compatible with expressing your opinions / disagreeing. It's not always easy to disagree respectfully, but we should strive.
Certainly wasn't a waste of his time.
Thanks. I wasn't finding them helpful anyway.
Thank you both for such valuable info. Helps a lot. Do you suggest looking at he Bibles at all? I have all three of them, but find sage more helpful. J.Y makes things so much more straight forward.
what question type appears the most frequently on the LR section of the lsat?
Dillon,
Yes I did. I am glad I found that info, helped a lot.
I resolve the issue, but thanks for the support.
J.Y/Dillon,
You can disregard the previous post. I found the solution to the problem, under lesson 1: Features. I followed the instructions as outlined in section 2. I will post below just in case anyone else may find it helpful in the future. Thanks.
2. Variable playback speed. For all of our videos we have a variable playback speed. If you think I talk too fast or too slow, you can change the rate at which the video is played back. But keep in mind this only works on Chrome, Firefox, or Safari on a laptop. Sorry, it doesn't work for mobile devices yet.
J.Y/Dillon,
I am experiencing difficulties with the videos within my course syllabus. The videos load, I can hear J.Y's voice coming in, but is it very robotic and it's pure static. I have tried logging out, restarting my computer and logging back in. No results. I know it is not my computer, because I am able to load and listened to videos under the logic explanations, once I click on resources. However, once I log into my course and click on syllabus, is when the problem occurs. Even though I can still access the LG section that is free to the public, to reiterate the ones within my course syllabus is not working.
Thanks.
I have no idea what you're talking about. My computer works just fine, it is the videos within the course syllabus that is not working. Thanks, I will contact Dillon.
Hello,
Is anyone else having trouble loading the videos. J.Y's voice is coming in as very robotic and it's pure static. I have tried logging out, restarting my computer and logging back in. No results. Thanks.
Thanks for the advice. I greatly appreciate it.
Thanks guys. I will certainly try that approach.
Starbuck, it depends on what your goals are. Going to a 1st or 2nd tier law school does not guarantee success, the same for a 3rd or 4th tier school, doesn't mean you will not be successful. In the end, whatever aligns with your respective goals, taking into consideration factors such as geographic location, family, finances, career ambitions, etc.
perhaps could be helpful in helping you to narrow things down.
I wish you all the best, we are all on this journey together.
In the meantime, I came across these articles I wanted to share, they speak to both sides of the issue.
This is by no means indicative of the majority but.......
