@ they were pretty awesome! :D

@

This is a great post! I'm glad I read it this morning. I'll be having marshmallows in my coffee when I do principle questions!

I was in a similar position where after a significant amount of prep, I wasn't improving. I took an in-class course and only found it helpful for LG. Then, I tried the Powerscore bibles, which only helped a little bit. Then, I bought the LSAT Trainer, which really helped me with Flaws and LR foundations. I was improving, but not enough. So, I decided to try out 7Sage after watching JY's LG explanations. I found that my understanding of the "LSAT foundations" was lacking. I went through the 7Sage curriculum a couple of times and re-read the Trainer a couple of times, doing the assigned exercises. I started seeing significant gains after using 7Sage's BR and Fool Proof method, along with the Trainer's approach to tackling RC.

What's my point? Try to develop a stronger 'LSAT Foundation.' How do I think you can do this? Re-read chapters, re-watch videos, BR LR/RC, 'fool proof' LG, and use Mike Kim's approach to RC. Hope this helps!

@, I haven't taken that one yet. I will soon and will keep in mind your input!

The podcast is great!

"LSAC will provide scratch paper and a pen for test takers to use during the test. We will provide a stylus that can be used to underline and highlight text on the tablet."

@ are you talking about question 4 in 'Quiz – Advanced Premise & Conclusion Identification 1'? I could not see what the author's argument was - I only saw the argument of state researchers.

@ I'm planning to write after July; so, I will have to take the digital test. I've been on and off with my studying and when I learned that the test would be digital, I panicked. After taking some time to think about this, I don't think the digital test will be so bad because what we will be tested on will remain the same. The transition from the paper to the digital test will only require technical adjusting (to the format). So, I'm trying to use a tablet and stylus as much as possible to 'familiarize' myself with the digital test.

Now, with the exception of logical reasoning, I'm using a tablet and a stylus to do my practice. On the 'Get Acquainted with the Digital LSAT' tutorial, I didn't see an option to draw with an e-pencil - this would be helpful. So, I'm doing logical reasoning with pencil and paper for now.

Ultimately, I think that trade-offs are worthwhile. Even if it is not, anyone who is writing after July will need to take the digital test.

I'm seeing the same thing. @ are we not able to extend longer than a month now?

@, I have a similar schedule (8am-4pm). I get home around 5pm. I do have a bit of a commute, so I also listen to my recorded notes or LSAT/law school/motivational podcasts when driving home. Then, I relax for a bit, have dinner, and etc. I study from 7-10pm. I've been on and off from studying; so, I'm just getting back into it and would really echo @ in that it is best to be aware of what your needs are and what other things you need to get done. Be realistic about how much time you have to work with and how much energy you have.

Here is the schedule I am working with (maybe it will help):

-Mon: work, study @ 7pm

-Tue: work, study @ 7pm

-Wed: work, gym right after work, misc (NO LSAT)

-Thu: work, study @ 7pm

-Fri: work, prep for mock on Sat/relax

-Sat*: mock @ 9am, gym right after, misc for the rest of the day, go out

-Sun: BR, gym

*I usually miss one mock weekend every month.

I'm interested in joining as well!

Hey @! They usually open in mid-August. Hope this helps!

I recently started doing this and find this thread very helpful. Thanks @!

How many times are you guys redoing a game that you have trouble with?

After I do a section, I do BR for the section. Doing this, I identify the games I had trouble with. Then, I watch the JY's video and try to really understand the game and the inferences in it. Then, I repeat the game until I feel I've mastered it well within the time recommended.

I'm in too, from Toronto!

@

Thanks!

Any idea as to when LR for 1-16 will be available?

@ which explanations are excluded from PTs 1-16? Thanks!

Hey @, nice to e-meet you! I've been studying on and off also because of work and other commitments and am now finally gearing down to having the LSAT as my major focus. Many people close to me have also suggested that I settle for something that I'm not willing to settle for. In fact, I refuse to do so because I know that if I continue to genuinely work at it and practice my LSAT destroying skills, I can achieve that 170+. I was scheduled to write this month, but I have posptponed to write in June/September. You can destroy the LSAT too. 7sage will help you. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!

As a fellow Sager, I encourage you to work towards your goals. Even if it takes a bit longer, you should continue to work towards your ideal score. When you're working at your ideal firm 10 years from now and living the life that you want, the little bit of extra time you spent on getting your ideal score will become a non issue, a stupid, situational frustration of the past. The people close to you will be happy for you. YOU will be happy. And, at the end of the day, we all have to make decisions that not everyone will be too happy about. Sometimes, you just have to go with your instinct and do what you think is best for you.

You made a great decision in postponing. Cheers!

I do all of what @ does. I let the 'main points' guide me: after reading a paragraph, I identify the main point of that paragraph. When I'm done with the passage, I always ensure that I know MOPT.

M - main point of the passage

O - organization of the passage (what does each paragraph do?)

P - purpose of the passage (why is the auther writing the passage?)

T - tone of the author (is the author accepting or rejecting a view, being optimistic or cynical, etc etc.)

By having a clear understanding of MOPT before I go into the questions, I find that the questions go by very quickly.

Hope this helps!

@ I, like you and @, am in the same boat with the same plan. Congrats on the decision, I know it was a tough one because I've also made the same decision. Cheers!
