Ha same. I’ll keep you posted for when he replies. To be fair it’s been less than 24 hrs at this point.

I think I am gonna buy it anyway. @suznannthomp484 @roystanator440 and steve schwarz raved about his program. I wanted to learn something before the school starts....

@estoutenburg25267 said:

I don't have any direct experience obviously, but I just got an email from him and he says in the email that he "responds to every email."

I got the same email and responded something and clearly he did not reply back thats why I wondered....

Congrats!!

My concern is that it seems that he is not very response to emails....

Definitely avoid Pace; I took it in 2015 and there were construction going on above us; the administration told us that they can do nothing about it and the construction needs be finished that day;

I read another poster in reddit last September that the protocols ate chips while testing....

Congrats!!

Congrats!!

Congrats Alex!!

I don't know whether I will retake in March (depending on Jan score); but good luck with your final take, Lucas! You have been an enormous help in/on this forum!!

Thank you sooo much! Good luck with your January score!!

thank you!

Thank you for doing this!!

I felt that we need to have a 0L support group!!

I do; I tend to second guess myself in LR after first round usually change from right to wrong; now unless I have preponderant evidence that my initial choice is wrong, I switch;

powerscore did a prediction for the test; I did not watch all of it (I am taking it in HK); their prediction is that it will most likely be a new test and has usual LG (no weird games)

Is your blind review process the exact same as 7Sage’s? Just wondering

I would say definitely trust the process; I BRed every single passage (1-85+A,B+ 97); the more you do, the more likely you will develop instinct; people say RC gets more difficult, honestly I feel 80s RC are much easier than late 70s and answer choices are easier to spot

I am disappointed that my RC performance does not translate to my LR

I do! I circle questions about which I am not sure and spend time justifying my reasoning when I BR. I usually got those questions right and many of my misses come from earlier 1-15 while getting latter correct, which really frustrates me

My LR performance fluctuates a bit; I did way better in PT 84 (my brain was on fire and was able to glance through answer choices and knew which were correct); I think PT 85 has less cookie cutters so I was slowed down

thank you for the post! glad to see you again!

I chose E in my both attempts; E is not discussed in A because A talks about the impact of intellectual property on creative output

@akikookmt881 thank you for the podcast! I finally discovered another one whose first around is around 30 min for LR; I wonder whether you consider every single answer choice for LR during your first round?

Yeah it's a bit of an inference since they're saying you ought to do it because it is better. I think it'll start being more obvious what is being inferred but isn't written later in your studies.

thank you!

I think in this case it might be most helpful to ignore the middle part about "although some drinkers would prefer to....or in some other manner."

The only premise, as you mentioned, is "it is better if C happens." In this case you can infer that the conclusion is pretty much saying it is better to do C. Thus, the way to actually read it is conclusion=it is better to do C because premise=it is better if C happens. Let me know if it looks more like circular reasoning now.

thank you! now it looks like circular reasoning; I think there is a small assumption made here? (better =ought to) or am I being too mechanical?

I think another subtle yet possibly reasonable in the real world (definitely not in the LSAT world) is that the drain on the electrical system will lead to blackouts in order to make A work
