It's more of just a routine I've learned to follow to stay actively engaged in reading the passages. I treat each passage kind of like unboxing a jigsaw puzzle for the first time. The pieces are scattered and disheveled, some flipped upside down and…

Have you seen the "scale" that Manhattan uses in RC? I think that might clarify what I was trying to get across in a better manner... PT65.3.2: http://www.manhattanlsat.com/forums/download/file.php?id=685&sid=518447d3a5241de3561621767ea25ccb I…

Get an 8 or 12 ounce cup and drink lots of water. If you are like me, it will force you to get up and refill your tiny cup at least once an hour and give your body a break from being sedentary for 8 hours at a time. It's hard not to let the time pas…

Things such as URM status (under-represented minority), your personal statement, when you apply during the app cycle and letters of recommendation are all material considerations that make predicting your chances within a certain range pretty diffic…

Repeat old passages.. Trust me, a once through on any part of the LSAT is not enough. Just pick a number 1-70 and repeat the RC section or google "hardest LSAT reading comp" and do those or just pick up any random test and repeat the section. One o…

@ONuellaO there is a great article on the lsatblog about that kind of notation that was a game-changer for me. He basically advocates one simple set of annotations to keep track of in the margins: V1 viewpoint 1 (ex. traditional theory) V2 viewpoin…

You know you are doing it right when you start noticing a prior inference in a new game as you are working through it. That's the idea here... the templates are all shades of the same basic game forms and elements therefore the inferences overlap of…

also for what it's worth... shorthand for me to what I have noted above as passage structure would be: P1 obs + V1 P2 V2 + char V2 P3 C&C V1V2 P4 V2 supp + author=V2

I see why you would pre-read but I think that the reasons why you would are also encapsulated in ID'ing the main point, structure and purpose of the passage... Pretty much every question you are looking for through the pre-read is a function of the …

48 hours a week on the 7Sage course is absolutely a recipe for burnout, stress, and inefficiency when all other aspects are considered. If your other two summer courses take up 6 hours of your week each (super conservative estimate) then you are alr…

You need to include time in to your analysis. Is there any section you are not finishing up in 35 minutes? Do you skip questions or attempt them all within the timeframe? Are you blind reviewing afterward? Results? My best advice to you is NOT to bu…

Sandraaaa, the negation test is not supposed to be used on ALL 5 answer choices. It's better served to confirm the right AC after initial answer choice eliminations. there's typically 6 steps I go through on most question types including NA types (p…

I have been doing this balancing act for about a half a year now... I am a financial analyst in an oil company and spend around 50 hours a week in the office. I have been scoring around the 160-165 range but I hope to increase and nail down a more c…
