Warm up Routines

Hello everyone,

I just finished the CC and I am starting the process of consistent drilling and PT's. I have done 3 so far and I have only done cold starts. As a result I spend the first three to five minutes of every test staring at the very first question trying to figure out what the hell it says. Definitely time for a change. With that in mind, does anyone have preferred warm up routines that work for them? Any findings from your own studying on what is most effective for warm ups?

Please let me know!

Anybody have advice on warm up practices? I am not sure what the sweet spot looks like for the right amount. Any anecdotal best practices would be quite helpful.

Thanks!

LSAT · 15 to 20 Point Increase November

The reddit page on the LSAT has some really good posts about strategies as well as encouraging words(It is reddit though so take that with a grain of salt). I found some great ones that really boosted my confidence, and one of the best posts I saw is that the test is a mental game, and a skills test. Going in most people are beginners at this kind of logic and reading, so the reality is you will most likely have to practice a TON if you want to hit the upper score ranges. Additionally, the realization that you can be a great lawyer even if you do not hit the upper ranges will take off the pressure to do well on the test. Being a lawyer is what we are chasing after all.

The concepts were well explained and the skill builders made sense. However, I think more variation in the skill builders' problems would allow students to get more from the material, because in most of them the writing pattern becomes obvious, and then you can't help but see the pattern rather than the material. Additionally, concepts like major premise and sub conclusion are used, and then not used in some of the future lessons. Labeling these in future lessons would help us to integrate all of our knowledge in each problem.

I am having trouble intuiting the grammar during my initial tries on questions, and it is screwing up my timing and sometimes will catch me with trap answers. After running through the grammar section already, where should I go to drill grammar?

LSAT · Drilling Only Max Difficulty Question

Thursday, Jul 11 2024

I can only speak from personal experience, but I find that it seems necessary to drill all the difficulties. When I drill, I typically get the hardest and easiest questions right, and find myself missing or getting stuck on the 3/4 questions because of trap answers. All the difficulties seem to be separated by content differences/type of question and not by difficulty to any given individual.

As for tips, I would say just work on your weaknesses until they become strengths, then rinse and repeat until you eventually start scoring better.

I have gotten the majority of the SA questions right but I am struggling with PSA, and from what I can tell, most "informal" logic. Would love to hear any tips that helped people better identify the informal answers

You’re doing just fine if you’ve improved ten points in 3 months. The best advice that I ran into is that the factor here is time and the way you see it. The more time you put into it, the better you will do, and while you may feel like you’re stuck, the reality could be that you need a small break and then get back to studying. It’s a process that takes time and in the curriculum it mentions that some people study for this test for a year or more to get their goal scores. Soo, my point is that at four months you’re doing really well to have increased that much, and sometimes less is more. Hope this helps!

Doesn't most imply 50 percent plus one? If both claims say this wouldn't some be a valid conclusion be correct because at least one item has overlap which is the sufficient condition to count as some? Where is the difference between this one and the valid form? #help

More specific instruction on what each skill builder is looking for would be helpful, along with standardized answers and explanations. Many explanations and answers were super ambiguous while others were super detailed. You can't really tell what you are supposed to be answering with, or how to measure performance on some of the questions.

General · New Test Format

Each test varies on the number of sections, there will never be more than two RC though. I believe it is either 3 LR and 1 RC or 2 of each. When it comes to the prep test I would do the first two sections, take a ten minute break and then the last two sections because that is the test day format.

Hope this clears things up!
