actually I've had to push my timeline for the LSAT back a few months, hopefully that will open up a slot for someone who's still interested in this group!
I don't think schools average the LSAT score...pretty sure the policy changed a while back to "super score" -- i.e. take the highest score. unless there is that one outlier school that still averages scores....
also, group size matters -- if you start to get too big (past about 3-4 people), it will become almost impossible to sustain focused study for long term periods.

My order was LG - RC- LR
LG
1. ordering of student seating (maybe?)
2. upper and lower floors
3. break in at a museum
4. econ course w prerequisites

just finished! LG had a minor twist in some parts but still doable for the most part, RC was pretty standard, and LR was trickier than normal but also doable.
yeah the comparative passage definitely requires a slightly different approach. Those tend to be slightly easier for me once I am able to figure out the relationship between the two passages, which is in my experience so far with RC sections, usuall…

try not highlighting! also read slow but realize they are all a similar format! im not great but those two things have helped me the most
I highlight but I am very selective about what I end up highlighting. For example…

I am on such an uphill and downhill swing. My Sections I do consistently 6-7 points better on than my PT's (PT'S avg is 155,while if you combine my sections my average is 162/163) a bit frustrating. Plus I feel like I alwa…

Is it better to spend more time on the questions in RC or passage ? And if so what is a proper distribution of time ?(i.e 4 min on passage 5 min on questions)
This is highly dependent on what works best for you. If it's an e…

Hi all! I'm taking the June test in the hopes of getting off 2 waitlists, and I really want a 174. I got a 170 last June, 166 in late August, and my weakness was pretty clearly overconfidence on LG: I'd do well on games at home…

My score in RC very much fluctuates. While I'm still practicing to read actively and note the overall structure/main point/view points/tone etc. before heading into the questions, I often find myself getting tripped up in the …

Hey @brindelrc , that's an interesting strategy - I've never tried it myself though. For me, I usually highlight as I go so that I can easily navigate the passage if I need to come back to it in the questions. Do you feel…

The best advice I've gotten for those types of questions is to look for specific evidence in the passage regarding what the author would think. Before I started doing that, I'd just try to 'put myself in the author's sh…

Hello all,
I'm going over weakening questions on CC and just had an idea/thought.
What do you guys think about starting bottom-up when reading the answer choices for the questions? (E-A)
I find a lot of th…

@"Lime Green Dot" Learning Korean that is awesome!! I want to play Assassins Creed Valhalla, I'm a sucker for the Assassins Creed games.

Well, all I have to say is this: I am still getting plenty of sunshine and enjoying myself even while studying for the LSAT. Physical and mental wellbeing are utterly under-valued aspects to doing well on this test lmao.

@andre3000 I can't remember where JY mentioned it but on some harder strengthening questions, the correct AC barely strengthens. This kind of AC feels like a NA because it's more so keeping the argument from falling apart (or…

Ok so, I just can't seem to get a grasp of the logic games. I have been told that the analytical reasoning section is the easiest to improve in; however, I beg to differ. Every-time I try a new problem on practice tests, I am …
I don't think this is a question you should diagram (it should not be a knee-jerk reaction to diagram every question that has a conditional). We know that a book, unless it is not made for a general audience, must include both a discussion on utilit…
I don't think the logic games should go away, particularly because they do in fact test logical reasoning ability (conditional rules, for example). And the dreaded rule-sub question is really a veiled way of asking "are you sure you haven't missed a…
probably not until 2022 at the earliest. also the logic games I don't really know -- they are phasing them out but again, probably not until after 2022. it looks like there will be one LR section for a long time, even post-Covid.
