Yes!!

Even if you got a question correct, you may not have gotten it correct for the right reason. It helps to know the specific strategies that the LSAT creators expect you to use to get a question right. If you skip over this important step, it could come back to bite you later on in the curriculum or you LSAT journey.

Watch the videos for insurance to make sure your reasoning is sound.

Hope this helps!

Hey! Well that sucks

How much time are you spending doing the CC at one time? A big part of learning from the curriculum for me is taking time to digest it.

I don't study too much within one session. I study, and then what I cover for that day, I make sure I understand it before I move on.

For instance, when I was working with MSS, I really struggled in the later practice sections, so I halted and went back over the questions I was struggling with. I looked over them and worked through them until I understand every detail.

If you don't feel like you can teach a subject you just studied, then you need to slow down and go back over it. If that means going back over the basics, then do it!! Conquer don't slide by. Do your best to glean everything you can from every part of the curriculum.

I hope this helps!

@ Honestly, that was what my gut was telling me.

Thanks a lot!

@ Thank you!

I notice I frequently look over little detail words like the word "except". That trips me up when it comes to the answer choices.

@ oh wow. Thanks!

I'm glad I learned this early. Merry Christmas!

@ Thanks!

Great. Thanks!

Awesome. I felt that maybe I was just creating bad habits with my old approach of taking PTs and not even blind reviewing.

I have never used the Blind Review method before, and I think that was a huge mistake. So, correct me if I'm wrong. Taking PTs in the stage that I'm at -'starting from scratch' (kind of)- would be okay because I am familiar with the test. AS LONG AS I Blind Review, and don't cut any corners.

My main concern is that I don't want to get ahead of myself again and jumble up the information I've been learning with this curriculum.

@ Thanks!

I was thinking the same thing.

@-1-1 Also, thanks!

And yes, I have taken a diagnostic before, and about 6 or 7 practice tests. I started the LSAT journey about a year and a half ago, and I've taken the official test twice.

However, I decided to start from scratch because from the time that I took the diagnostic to the time that I took my latest official LSAT, I just wasn't able to dedicate the time and be as diligent as I should have, so I am completely restarting and learning EVERYTHING from scratch. I'm pretending that I don't know anything, so I want to do it right so I can do my best.

Seeing that I'm not necessarily ignorant of LSAT format and practice tests, should I still wait till after a few sections? Or should I go right in again?

Thanks so much!

I will be sure to utilize those methods!

@ Great. Thanks!

@ and @ thanks a lot! That did help tremendously

How did you go about studying LR. Was that an everyday thing, or did you spread it out based on your improvement needs?

Could you go ahead and put the stimulus and questions in here? I tried to look at it, but I believe I would have to start that section.

Can you throw the PT# in here? :)

This is sooo attainable. I think if you shoot for the stars and you fall short at least you'll fall somewhere in space. But if you don't shoot for the stars and jump, you're just going to fall to the ground. Shoot high.

A year is an awesome time frame to get some serious work in. Good luck!

Note: Think of these as if you were having a conversation with someone. Odds are you only interject when you strongly agree or when you disagree.

Example: My brother: the food has been on the stove for a couple of days. I think it's been there since Sunday, but you left it out.

Me: No, I did not leave it out. You technically left it out.

I interjected because I completely disagreed with what he said before I interjected. I didn't disagree with the first sentence or the second sentence. It was that last half of the second sentence that I couldn't agree with. Hence..... I interrupted.

That's how I look at these questions because I couldn't understand how to derive the correct answer. Hope this helps!

Can you throw the PT#S#Q# in here?

I feel like the difficulty rating should be higher than it is.

I completely looked over the part that said "redeposited just under the surface" and got really confused with the answers.

I ended up getting it right in the BR, but I feel like I'm making bad habits with these by not reading the wording enough. During the BR, I'll usually see what important words I looked over and choose the right answer, but I would like to hammer that in and be able to do that the first time around.

Does anyone have any tips on how to develop skills in reading the words carefully within the suggested time frame?

Can I ask what test this is? Maybe I'm just not looking it for it correctly. I've gone through this question before and nailed it, so I'd be glad to help. Just point me in the direction!

why is the question stem worded the way it is. I'm going to have a coronary

@ Awesome. This helped a lot. Thanks!

@ yeah! that's what I was thinking, and @'s explanation was muy bueno

@ Awesome, thanks!

oh wow!

Yes digestion of the coursework is very important. Good luck!
