Knowledge for dummies?

Coolmama09 · June 2016

Hi all. Does anyone have any tips on how to "broaden" our knowledge in a short couple of months in general knowledge of science, law etc...to improve better understanding in RC? I remember JY saying in a comment that having "broad" knowledge definitely helps. I know I can't suddenly become an expert, but does anyone have any experience to share? I literally thought about reading something like "Science of Dummies" or "100 things you should know about basic of law" - OK i made those up but you get my drift. THANKS!!!

Pick around 10-15 of these blogs, and read a few articles daily that you find interesting:

Also, there are a ton of youtube channels on various topics that help get some basics across. The list in the comments is a pretty good one: https://www.reddit.com/r/EducativeVideos/comments/2wayz5/what_are_the_best_educational_channels_we_dont/

I also like watching intelligence squared debates on youtube as well.

The Crash Course series on YouTube is phenomenal. Professionally produced, they are concise, entertaining, and educational. My favorite Internet rabbit hole.

Make sure to check out Literature section (link below) if you are ESL student, studied outside U.S or do not to read Literature. It helped me a lot with some literature related passages.

If you do not have much time to read or search around subscribe to The Economist and listen to their audio versions from their archive, each week edition is around 7 to 8 hours and they talk about everything. I put the subscription for their introductory package below

And Good Luck

Read a lot of RC passages, as many as you can get your hands on, also check out the articles (in full) and other ones in the journal it came from. Go right to where the LSAC gets their materials,

Howdy, Stranger!
