I started October the same year, been off an on and found 7sage this past March. I take it this October with the urge to apply, this helped me a lot! Thank you!
Would like to get on some LR help whenever possible. Please post again for your next session
Interested

Had 2 RC's as well. First RC felt somewhat easy but last RC felt like a doozy. One game of LG really messed me up so I'm bummed about that and there were about 5 solid questions on LR that stumped me as well. Oh well... January here I come! LOL
Is it strange that I want to take the January too? I believe I did well, but the January looks so tempting
MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN - Thats how I feel
@ This has helped me a lot! Like what @ Said your method really helped me. Hopefully today is my last test day.
I think it is best to call them. They have been having numerous problem this round. Explain to them what happened.
I echo @
This is muscle that has to be built. It is one of the things that is not commonly emphasize, but I believe one has to get use to taking the test in order to perform well on it.
Also do you have a link to a good quizlet? For light review? I take it Sunday, and I want to relax a bit and just look over some general stuff tomorrow.
I recommend reading not to memorize the passage completely on your first read, and to get the author's opinion, the frame work, and the main conclusion (wherever that maybe). It's a tough skill to gain (some may rare talent) to read a passage once and have complete understanding of it.
The best method my personal experience is to find those key components, maybe note where somethings that standout such as referential phrasing, when the author actually states an opinion, and the previous points stated above. Everything else, you can refer back to the passage for. (This is no skimming. Skimming will result in a sea of red, I have tried. :') )
I realized I was going to refer back to the passage anyway when answering questions, following this method help me gain time and gain a better understanding because I am being more strategic with my initial read.
This is also a skill to work on, but it can be picked up relatively fast in regards to other skills needed such as an solid understanding of logic.
My favorite resources outside of this site is the LSAT lab and Manhattan Prep (the free LSAT hours) on YouTube. For Manhattan, there are even videos on speed strategies for all three sections as well as a bunch of hour long videos that have tips on question types across the test.
I hope this helped. Best of luck! You are 180 bound!
Example from Manhattan
Will be there! Looking to clean up some small things today!
Good Luck to everyone! Don't forget to breath!

Thanks! This is exactly what I've been looking for. Also thanks to the OP for asking this question. I was going to ask the same thing!
My pleasure, this is an amazing community. Glad I could in some fashion help!

Hey @ , something I do to cut down on "setup" time is be on the look-out for aesthetic tweaks you can make to your game-boards that will not be detrimental to your ability to interpret them. For instance, things I do to save seconds during my setups are:
For sequencing games: only numbering odd slots (1, 3, 5, etc). Putting the numbers on TOP of the slots with game-pieces below, and then placing all my split-boards/different worlds below as well, rather than drawing out the lines and numbers for every single split-board. I just reference back up to the top to ensure I'm dropping pieces into the right spot. (Let me know if you need more clarification on this).
For in/out games: Only drawing the check and X on the master game-board. If you have a decent comfort level with the game, you can also make the call on whether to only draw the individual slots (if necessary), and group close-outs (if necessary) on the master game-board, making the split-boards just completely empty shells and then referencing back to the master game-board for the global rules. This is something I only elect to do on in/out games if they are 1) of the easier type 2) require 4+ split-boards. In this scenario, I believe the time you save by not drawing out all the aesthetic aspects of your split-boards is substantial.
Additional timesavers:
ALWAYS doing the acceptable situation question in tandem with your set-up.
ALWAYS doing the additional premise questions before the others.
If you're not nearly perfect in LG yet, ALWAYS skipping the substitution and equivalence questions and coming back to them if you have time at the end.
Hope this helps!
You have given me a new world! I really appreciate it!

Hello, good question.
I suggest foolproofing the games 1-35 PTs timed first to get in the habit of doing them under timed conditions. If you are already doing this, then practice more and maybe move to foolproofing entire sections.
From my experience, I used to have the same problem as LG used to be my worst section. But, after foolproofing a lot of games and then foolproofing sections, from that set, it has made me faster so that, now, I am able to complete all the games with significant amount of time left.
Also, if particular games are giving you trouble when doing sections, skip those games while under the timed take, do the other three games, and come back to that one at the end of the section. I do this with miscellaneous or use harder games I can usually discern at the beginning of a timed section. This allows me to hit the easy games first, which gives me confidence, flow and security. Then, I am able to attack that one game that is just weird while considerable amount of time.
Thank You! I really appreciate the insight!
Thank you for this helpful information! I really appreciate you sharing this!
I am at the point where I can set up the games well with my inferences and get through the questions and rarely miss, but I'm spending a lot of time doing so. I usually miss a whole game when I am doing timed sessions. Any advice on speeding up on my set up?
I don't know what full proofing is. Someone help me out, I take the test in November too. Is anyone down to create a discord chat?
