@Redentore3337 said: Can someone please explain "CIRCLE: all conditional, modal, and quantifier words." what exactly are conditional, modal, and quantifier words or where I can be directed to learn exactly what those terms mean. …

(bump) Just a reminder to those that just happened upon this post: the update I posted in the comments shows how I improved upon the original post.

Thanks to Matt Shinners (who scored a 180) from Manhattan Prep, I learned the following nifty strategy: List out the premises, correctly notating if it's an "all", "most", or "some" relationship for each one. Focus only on the sufficient side of t…

Thanks for the shout out, Marco. I hope others find those flashcards useful, too. If anyone has feedback on things I should do to improve them, or any good tips/strategies of their own that they'd like to share, please reach out.

@PenAndSword : you must give "More Perfect" and "We the people", a listen, too. As a sample from each, I would recommend: More Perfect's episode on "The Batson Rule" (i.e. preventing race-based juror selection) (http://www.wnyc.org/story/object-an…

I agree with a lot of what's been said. I would recommend some additional podcasts (with the first two being most relevant to LSAT/law school, and the rest being of general interest for law): LSAT - "The Thinking LSAT" . There's a lot of fluff a…

You both pretty much summed up my thoughts, as well. Thanks again for the advice. I'm going to post another question that might interest you (see: "What is your favorite P.O.E./answering strategy for LR? Let's get a taxonomy going!", in the forum)

Bought, sight unseen, but without hesitation. If you vouch for it, I'm sure it's a keeper. Thanks again for everything, David.
-
You're right, man; that's an indirect but likely effective way to accomplish the same thing as a designated tag. Thanks, Alex!
-
Thanks for the prompt and thorough reply, Josh. You make some great points. In addition to posting this here, I emailed my LSAT instructor from Manhattan Prep (who got a 180) to get his perspective, too. He said: "(B), but make a note on it. If …

I had: 1. RC 2. LR 3. LG 4. Break 5. RC 6. LR If what you say about the "real" RC is correct, I had an experimental section RC section (whose non-violating LSAC policy) keywords for the first passage would be "Feminism & John Stuart Mill'…

Please forgive the typos above, everyone. (Rest assured, I actually proofread my flashcards.) :-)

*** UPDATE *** I don't abandoned the "question stems" and "strategies by question type" linked in the original post. Instead, I combined the two AND updated the cards with improved strategies. "Stems & Strategies": https://quizlet.com/_2dy8o…

Will this video be edited and up soon? Sorry to bug, but I'm eager to check it out. Thanks!
-
@Coolmama09 : I can send you a Word file, which you can turn into a PDF, as well. But honestly, I don't think it won't be as effective as studying flashcards. I'm a teacher and the research shows that distributed practice coupled with memory retrie…

Folks, as always, listen to the wise words J.Y. Ping. The R.O.I. for that $30 is incredible. I paid that amount long ago when it was just an "Intro. to Personal Statement" add-on, not all of the other admissions advice you now get. And even then, i…

@Pacifico @mes08 : Thank you so much for your thoughtful, pragmatic advice. Here's where I'm leaning, as of right now. 1. I'm going to continue to diligently study for the September/December LSAT. I know that this is the single most important th…
-
@UsernameChange : I agree that this sounds reasonable, and it was my initial thought, too. But I don't want to sit on my hands until September regarding getting personal statement editing because it takes time to craft and revise, especially if one…
-
Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely take it into consideration as I move forward.
-
Yes! Thanks, Nicole and 7Sage!
-
Thanks again for the new and very thorough comments. I'll definitely keep your advice in mind as I move forward in the curriculum and PT'ing in a few months.
-
Thanks for your advice. "Pre-phrasing"/predicting is something I intuitively do anyway. However, I wanted to throw question #3 into the mix anyway, just in case some people might have argued that their intuition had duped them more often than not …
-
I know I've asked this before, but are all of these events recorded? If so, I'm still unsure of where to find them. I am unable to attend this conference but I would love to listen to it later on YouTube, SoundCloud, etc. Either way, if it is pos…
-
I would love to attend this webinar but I have unbreakable plans that conflict with it. Is there any way to review the meeting after has been completed? (i.e. do you make audio recordings of the webinars?)
-
I'm a secular humanist who has never believed in the efficacy of petitionary prayer. Until now. Nicole and Corey, you two have converted me with the fortuitous timing of this webinar because surely, my desperate pleas to the heavens have been answ…
-
I honestly would love to just wait until September to provide myself more time for deliberate practice here on 7Sage. However, as I stated in the previous post, you never know if you're going to get sick that day or have something else occur that gr…

Jonathan, thank you so much for your thoughtful and thorough advice. I was leaning heavily toward the "hedge your bets" approach, as well. It would be catastrophic if I had burned through ALL of the tests leading up to the June date, only to be si…
