@firstgenlaw-1 your hard work is paying off! Keep it up! I love seeing posts like yours because they encourage me to trust the process.
I'm so sorry about the loved ones you lost This is not an easy time and what you're doing is incredible. Please…
Thanks @sarakimmel @clear227 and @"Generally Confused" for the comments! The PowerScore resources were great, highly recommend the second RC skill test podcast for others who are trying to diagnose their problem areas.
I agree with you all that "wh…
@"Generally Confused" thanks for the response. Sounds like I had a fundamental misunderstanding of what "purpose" is asking for. It's somewhat confusing to me that several online resources suggest that "purpose" = intent/why.
Before you read, y…
Oh wow this is popping up after 2 months. I'm curious what you decided to do @logan1313. I'm in a similar situation and actually came to my own decision today to just go all in for the Oct LSAT (given the test change date is coming up hah) and this…
I feel you; I've also been studying for several months while working a fairly demanding full-time job and am now in the drill/PT phase. Lots of great tips above.
What has helped me is to 1) build a study calendar upfront with weekly and long-term g…
Appreciate the feedback! So far, I'm finding LG conditional logic to be a breeze compared to LR. It's primarily group 3/4 conditional indicators and "the only"/"only" that seem to really trip me up under time. I'm starting to log all the questions w…
Sharing afew LR problems with conditional language I'd saved over the past few months:
PT09 S2 Q13
PT51 S1 Q21
PT51 S3 Q14
PT51 S3 Q19
PT60 S3 Q12
PT71 S3 Q11
PT71 S3 Q17
Sounds good @mhanson1991, hope you can make it. Agreed, I almost forgot about that comp passage one until BR just now and I realized I'd flagged like half the questions under time lol. It was pretty tough.
FYI all, I updated the description with a …
Just took PT75. My immediate post-exam thoughts are that both LR sections were decent/average difficulty, RC was a little tough for me as usual (that judicial recusal passage?), and sadly I got really distracted during LG which really messed with my…
Don't be intimidated by what seems like a massive core curriculum. Actually a big chunk of it is mini problem sets focused on specific question types (for example LR weaken, flaw, etc, or LG sequencing games) taken from PT 1-35. If you're really wor…
Sounds like my kinda group! Non-trad pivoting into law from a full-time job in a very different field.
My previous study partner and I used to do PT BR calls just like what you're proposing and they were great. I'm all for it.
Seconding comments to do a future BR call on an PT in the 60s/70s. I've been meaning to organize a BR call for an exam in that range but work and schedule conflicts have been getting me
That's a pretty big range. If you have enough data in 7Sage analytics, review if there's trends. For me, I know I get MSS incorrect disproportionately and that I spend way too much time on Flaw/AP questions, so I've been focusing on those. It absolu…
@st_cupertino @mmanjarr @iamdevika @emaanc99 Great! I'm available Saturday 3/13 @ 2PM Central Time, call link below. Hope you can join for a productive blind review session. Also added this info to the original post for easy reference.
Topic: PT52…
@obloome I’m game for PT61 next week. I’ll stick to doing PT52 this weekend.
Will either update this post to poll for times or start a new one and tag anyone interested. Happy studying y’all
Hey @obloome I'm open to doing a different PT if you're still up for it, say PT61. Also tagging @Positive-1 who DMed me about doing exams 60+.
@magdiel_kobe If you're not feeling strong on RC, I'd say that's a great reason to do group BR! Unless yo…

@swanganie what do you mean by low hanging fruit
As in they test our fundamentals and are one of the most common LR question types, so we should really try to get em down so we can spend time on harder q’s.
Offering myself…
Wow I literally came onto the forums to post about my struggles with these two question types. Both should be low-hanging fruit and I'm also finding that even 3-star questions ACs make me pause way too long when I'm under time pressure. I'm spending…
^That’s exactly what I do with my LR study buddy. We focus on doing our own separate BRs of an agreed upon section before we meet up to go through all the questions. So far, I've found partner study's been a good addition to solo BRing and passively…
Congrats!! A job well done (and your kid too he's probably heard plenty of JY's videos hahah). I don't think you know how much you've contributed so far to my own short LSAT ride with all your forum posts and recent tutoring, so thank you, and best …
Advice I've gotten is that you should be 100% confident about the answers you choose in BR. I'm not sure what it means to second guess yourself in BR. If it's truly blind, you should be reviewing flagged questions on a clean exam (but then again I d…
I'm also working through RC timing in my drills right now and seeing some improvements. For reference, I usually could only get through 3/4 passages under time.
There's a couple things I tried based on advice from more experienced test takers -- s…
