Same deal as Oldies but Goodies - just different title!

RC got you like this?

https://m.popkey.co/621615/MYrv7.gif

Thanks to Josh (a.k.a @"Cant Get Right" ), we're going to work on changing that!

While Josh will continue to handle (primarily) LR from the old PTs, I'll now be hosting an RC-focused Oldies but Goodies, following Josh's PT schedule along the way. Eye-roll-inducing, artsy fartsy passages? Obnoxiously dull and dizzying science passages? Inference Questions? Obligatory GIFs?? Yes to all!!

If you're able, swing by after having already done the RC section of the week. We'll breakdown one or two passages, the respective answer choices, and strategies for expertly and efficiently moving through the section. Our sessions will always be best with input, so don't be afraid to chime in!

Let's make RC something to look forward to!

LR Tutoring with Sage Josh

https://media.giphy.com/media/qKltgF7Aw515K/giphy.gif

So what will be going down in these meetings and what do you need to do to prepare?

These classes are a live, Sage guided forum to help address whatever it is you're studying within LR. We'll use older tests to work through questions, discuss question types, break down argument structures, and analyze answer choices. We'll also talk general LR strategy and pacing. To prepare, just use whatever portion of the week's homework that is relevant to your current studies.

This week's homework: PT 35 Logical Reasoning

    Hi,

    I had a breakthrough in my scores in logic games by employing POE for CBT Qs and looking for MBT/CNBT and moving on once I find MBT/CNBT in MBT/CNBT Qs. In particular, I think the perspective of trying to eliminate CNBT ACs (=wrong ACs) in CBT Qs really made the whole process easier and more efficient. (This is what Mike Kim suggests in the Trainer)

    But sometimes when the right answer of a CBT Q is (A) or (B), or when the ACs are designed in a way that makes it harder to see if each AC is CNBT (whether it's because of the AC is really wordy or because CNBT ACs don't immediately jump out like they do in other Qs), eliminating 4 CNBT ACs seems counterintuitive.

    So at this point, I am a bit puzzled in terms of my Q type strategy for logic games. While it's incredibly helpful that I actively, consciously look for CNBT ACs to eliminate in CBT Qs, elimination is inefficient in some CBTs. Does anyone have any advice for me?

    Hey,

    I was wondering if there were any people in the Chicago city area that would like to get together to be study buddies? Ideally it would be someone who is still going through the CC and wants to have and be a support system. We would all exchange resources, help each other gain insights to concepts, and overall work together to reaching our goals. Inbox me if you are interested.

    Hey guys!

    I am planning to write the LSAT in September/December, depending on how far I get with my studying this month. I do not have school right now and I only work once a week so I literally have all month to study diligently for the September LSAT. Right now, I am just finishing up the core curriculum, although I tend to follow a slightly different approach in terms of getting the most time effective studying done.

    Let me know if any of you are interested in either doing PT's together or are in the same boat as I am in.

    I can meet anywhere in the lower mainland. I prefer meeting in Surrey or Vancouver though.

    Admin Edit: Please don't post titles in all caps, the admins are sensitive.

    Hey everyone! I've always been interested in starting/joining an LSAT study group because I feel thats the best way to learn and motivate yourself for the test. However, someone on Top-Law-Schools has taken it amongst themselves to start a group. I wanted to help him out and post it along here to see if anybody was interested. Obviously, it would have to take place around the NYC metropolitan area. If anyone is interested, please follow this link:

    http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=271964&p=9690552#p9690552

    I understand many of you are still in undergrad or work full/part time (I'm doing both) but don't let this stop you from joining. With everyone's input, I'm sure we can figure out a time that works best for everyone. I think this would be very beneficial as we'll all learn from each other and come June 2017, we'll be more than ready to tackle the test. Hopefully we can get this going! Best of luck!

    We'll be starting with RC on Sunday and then continue LR on Tuesday.

    Here's to hoping that with more practice we'll look at the test more like how Tormund looks at Brienne (rather than the other way around).

    I'm interesting in either forming or joining (preferably the latter) a study group for people who are both trying to get as high a score as possible and located in the Orange County, CA area. My target score is 175 and I've most recently tested in the 168-172 range. I'm planning on taking the Sept and Dec tests. I've been enrolled in the ultimate course for roughly 9 months and cancelled last December's test. Let me know if you are interested!

    Hi all, does anybody know of any test prep companies/other places in the Philadelphia that offer free in-person proctored PTs or allow you to bring your own to be proctored (without having to sign up for a full course)? Also, any other Philadelphia LSAT resources or a Philadelphia-area study group?

    Thanks!

    Hey Everyone,

    It was great seeing all of you who were there yesterday. It was an absolute pleasure. Thank you :).

    I hope going over conditional arguments and seeing how they work in different question types was helpful. This weekend, on Sunday, I will be going over the causation argument type.

    The session yesterday gave me a couple of insights and I would like to change a few things about the next session. To get the most out of the next session I am assigning homework. It is of course up to you to complete it and I will not check if all of you do the assigned work. But how much you are able to get out of the session will depend on how much you know about causation argument type before hand.

    So before joining in I recommend watching the following seven videos that are part of 7sage core curriculum:

    https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/causation/

    https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/causation-theory/?ss_completed_lesson=1207

    https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/correlation/?ss_completed_lesson=1206

    https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/correlation-ideas/?ss_completed_lesson=1205

    https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/4-possible-explanations/?ss_completed_lesson=1204

    https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/chronology/?ss_completed_lesson=1203

    https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/causation-strategy/?ss_completed_lesson=1202

    Each of these videos are about 5 minutes each - some even less than that so it shouldn't take that long.

    For those of you who do not have 7sage core-curriculum please see if you can read up on causation argument as they are used in LSAT before coming into the session. This will give you the background knowledge necessary to see the pattern when we do go over the questions.

    But just in case I will be going over the basics quickly at the start of the lesson. It just will not be as in depth as these videos.

    I am still debating if I should release the questions I will be using for the upcoming session before the session. If I do, I will post it here before Sunday.

    Let me know if there are any questions or thoughts in your comments below. I look forward to seeing all of you again (3(/p)

    Hey Everyone,

    This weekend on Saturday I will be going over PT 35, Passage 2. It's an art passage.

    Like the previous times, we will first do the low and high resolution summaries then the questions under time before going over the answers. For that reason, you do not have to do the passage before coming to the session. But you do need the passage in front of you but we will also have it available on screen.

    If this will be your first time please do not worry, I will go over what low and high resolution summaries are before we begin reading the passage, so you will quickly catch up.

    Please click the link below to join the meeting at the specified time.

    I'll see you all there! : )

    Hi!

    I'm looking for a study partner or two near Little Neck/Great Neck in NY in preparation of the September test. I took the June test so this would be my retake. My strength is LG and weakness is RC--I'm hoping to work with someone who can complement my skills and motivate each other. I'm also happy to help with improving :) Please post in the comments or message if you live near the area and are interested!

    *Because there are too many September study groups in GTM and I don't want to mix them up, this group will now be known as the That's So Ravenclaw SG. I know a lot of us are fans of the Harry Potter series. In our LSAT prep (and our career aspirations in general) it would help to aspire to obtain the qualities of this house, such as cultivating a lifelong love of learning.

    Regarding the "That's so Raven" part. Generally, it could also help to take some risks (calculated risks haha) and be bold like:
