Hey, I'm about to begin taking PTs 36-65. If anyone else is interested in doing a full blind review of any of the aforementioned tests, let's meet up and tackle this thing. I live in north Dallas, but willing to meet anywhere DFW area. Maybe a campus library if parking is not an issue. I can meet mornings or at night, but we should allot 4+ hours if we are going to master the whole test.
Let's do this!
Wow, there's a lot of great movies listed here. Michael Clayton definitely deserves mentioning. It tops my list of Clooney films. And I've seen a lot of 'em. Check it out!
So I'm am struggling to make improvements in reading comprehension section big time. I was hoping to find a strategy for highlighting/pinpointing certain texts in the passage that are generally (in all likelihood) ascertained in the questions that follow, but I'm not having any luck finding it. The videos tend to highlight the passages as an exhaustive study, which is great, but what I'm looking for is an efficient method to practice with on the PTs. Is there a strategy anyone can recommend?
Also, does anyone know of a list of question types/categories for RC stems, e.g, main point, author's intention, passage structure, etc? The categories used for the LR questions are great, but so far I haven't come across anything that breaks down RC questions.
Thanks guys!
Outstanding interface and outstanding hosts. I also want to say thanks for sticking around so late for the Q&A. It ran much longer than I was expecting and I'm grateful that it did. Kudos!
Best advice I can give is to be strict with your PT habits. It's awfully tempting to fill in that last blank bubble 3 seconds after time is up, but all you're doing is cheating yourself. It can be tough to score so low on such a silly mistake but that forces you to learn to do it properly and emphasize certain areas.
Also, there are apps that provide a virtual setting with a proctor and distractions settings, etc. These can be useful just to gain a sense of familiarity and build consistency. Use these and be as consistent as possible with every single PT. If anything be harder on yourself than the LSAT requires (34 minute time limits, for example). It's kind of like batting practice with a weighted bat, so when you're on the field it just "feels" lighter.
Any, hope this helps. Good luck!
