I'm interested in participating and being an active member of this group!

Interested in joining, depending on when you schedule the calls!

"Go away Stephanie or I'm going to slap you" lol

The conclusion tricked me into assuming that the four days mentioned in the premises were M-T-W-TH......well played LSAT.

Progress will come, stay consistent, and don't give up. Ohh and everything else that's been said above. It's a slow process.

This one is great, check it out.

You.are.my.hero. Thank you!

Bear Claw Aid.

I picked D because I thought it was a blocking answer choice.

I'm either interested in joining this group or breaking off into a new group, whichever comes first! Send me an email if interested, sergiomadrid624@.com

If this group has gotten too big, anyone interested in forming a new one? or if there is a group I could join please let me know! My email is sergiomadrid624@.com or pm me on here too.

I also work full-time. I work 4/10s, so that gave me three days on the weekends to study. From Monday - Thursday, I aimed at studying 1-2 hours per day. I would take a day or two off during the week, usually Mondays and/or Wednesdays because I would study during the weekends. Then on Fridays (the day I anticipated taking the test) I would take a full PT. I wouldn't do anything else LSAT related that day. On Saturday, my main focus would starting PT review. I would only work on my review for about four to five hours to avoid burn out. On Sunday, I would continue my review in case I didn't finish it on Saturday. During the week after doing my PT review, I would try to focus on improving target areas, like LG if struggled with a particular kind of game. I mostly took three section PTs, but once I got closer to test day, about a month and a half out, I started taking four section tests to build stamina.

I would recommend putting together a schedule that can give you some sort of structure and that you can aim at following. I was usually flexible with my schedule because things happen, you feel tired, you get a busy work week, other responsibilities. So, if I couldn't get my one hour of studying before work, I would sprinkle little things during the day like a couple LR questions or a RC passage. Also, I had printed older PTs in a folder that I could just grab and practice with untimed whenever. My goal was to stay engaged.

I agree with both comments above, it comes down to engaging with the passage and knowing where to slow down and where not to spend too much time. Slow down in important areas, for instance, where you see the author's opinion. By not spending too much time I mean not stressing out about the details. They're still important and you should know where they're at, but don't go too far into the weeds trying to understand them. I'm thinking of science passages when they're trying to explain some sort of complex chemical process or something like that.

I got got by answer choice C.

These stories give us hope! Keep them coming. Thank you for sharing!

I almost didn't choose B during BR because "impermissible" seemed too strong.

Brutal passage 2/8. There is no way I can do this under timed conditions and get a good score.

Hi Cynthia, can you explain what you mean by doing a group of 10 LGs daily? Do you do each only once, or do you repeat each one in one sitting until you memorize it? Meaning, you’ll do each one of those 10….say a couple of times or more?

Hello,

I do ten in one sitting , then check my work. If I got any wrong I do not watch the video after, instead I make a mental note for the next day to really focus on that one.The idea is for me to figure it out without watching the videos, eventually it clicks for me. Also, when I check the answers , I write my answers on a separate sheet of paper, this way I avoid looking at the questions and memorizing the answers. When I get to the point that I have perfected each one, then I start with the next batch. I do not do the same game twice in a day, I do the ten and do them again the next day.

It's grueling work, I mean grueling. I have alot going on in my life, but I need to go this hard, I really need a 167 minimum. I will be honest though, it's one of those things where I have to peptalk myself into doing it because I'm just exhausted.It can be done, I recommend my method , it works, at least it has for me.

The most challenging section for me is LR, I can't get better than a -8. I am now doing two preptests a week, two passages daily, the 10 games PLUS I am going over the CC for the items in red in analytics.

Goodluck

Hi Cynthia,

Thanks for the response. One more question, do you do them timed or untimed?

Currently, my method is to Fool Proof every game I do. I'll watch the explanation from JY to see if he has a better way than my way. If he does, then I try to incorporate whatever I see will benefit me into my attempts. After that, I'll do them 3-4 times (timed) depending on how difficult the game is. Then, I don't come back to them. I have definitely seen significant improvement from -15 to -4ish....untimed. I'm still trying make some improvements, since I'm not seeing those results transfer to timed practice. I might try to return to the bottom of the pile to re-do those I have already done to make sure I have them mastered...similar to what you're doing.

I liked your idea for RC, I'm now incorporating doing a set of two passages at least 6 days a week. I was only doing 1. Timing is also an issue for me here. I have been working with a tutor for a few months with significant improvements untimed, but not timed. So, now I need to figure out how to transfer my untimed results to timed. Lots of work!

LR, I have been focusing on RC so much that I haven't truly focused on it in the last few months. I'm still at around -15 here. I think I'll try to incorporate your idea of looking at the past wrong questions daily so that they can stay fresh in my mind and some day start seeing patterns for future questions.

I feel you on that! It's a lot of work on top of our everything else we have going on. I'm also aiming for high 160s, at least.

I'm interested too!

Interested!
