@wilt When you drill games (and it's important that you drill a lot of them), my advice is this: After completing each puzzle, check not just the answers but also check your time against 7Sage's suggested time. And if you didn't complete the puzzle …
@AJamal22 Well, I'm glad you've had a breather. I did the same thing, and I wouldn't have survived without taking a several month break. Here's what I'd say about your situation.
1) I'd get that LG under control. I'm not sure what kind of time you'…
@Scofield Zou I recommend slowing down with the prep tests. That's one of the biggest mistakes I made as I studied for the LSAT. The best and biggest growth comes from your drilling. I wouldn't take a timed test more than once a week with a few time…
@rlaskatn21 That's a great question. A few things: 1) I studied each section, each drill day. However, I rotated the section I started with so that each section got attention when I was at my freshest. I was already strong with LG so I only started …
LG/ LR/ generic timing Qs I can easily answer here. But for big RC improvement, I’d suggest a new method I’ve developed. But I can’t lay that out in a few paragraphs. I need to be able to walk through passages with you.
Otherwise, this forum is bet…
Here's my response to someone who messaged me with these details: LG= -1, LR= -3/-4 (timing an issue), RC = -2/-3:
Sounds like you're doing pretty well!
My tips, based on your situation:
LG:
Tip 1) Don't let up on LG! Many students get their LG …
@victoriastarrett92 I'd say a mix of both. I studied on and off for over a year.
Sounds like you're doing great with your study time. If possible, I'd suggest trying to get some study time in before work. You're going to get the biggest bang for yo…
@jfisher1 Answering your questions in order: 1) It probably took me a couple of months to hit 170. Breaking into the 175+ is what took me the longest time. I had to overcome some serious plateaus with RC and LR. 2) LG tricks? For me it was just the …
Not sure what you ended up deciding. But definitely worth doing it right the first time--which, in this case probably means postponing your test. Finish the CC, take a couple of PTs, assess your strengths and weaknesses. Then, drill, drill, drill.
The first thing is to take the practice seriously. I think many students who struggle with RC aren’t tackling it the way they do LG/ LR.
The second thing is to have really good strategies. I found that the strategies and approaches that've been aro…
