When I was still studying, I would run the videos on 2.4x speed when I wanted to learn. When I want to appreciate JY's humor, I slow down to 1.7x. In real life though, JY's 1.0x speed doesn't seem out of sorts at all.

My mind is not often blown. I got a 172... WOOT! I had hoped for a nice even 173 to be on par for HY... but this is still fine.

For me these were important: Writing out LR answer explanations for ones I got wrong, or felt were ridiculously difficult and guessed, but got right. Sometimes I've had to stare at an LR question for 30 minutes to fully understand where I went wron…

I was in a similar situation for my first take. Fire alarms at hotel + no sleep = BOMB THE LG. I knew it wasn't my best (or even close), but I was set on being done and applying. I kept the score. It was a 163. I wish every day that I cancelled it. …

WARNING: this is a long post. Disregard if you don't like reading. MY order was: LR LR RC LR LG. I posted last week that I'd take ANY sections for LG but 5, and lo and behold... Also, as a preamble, I NEVER finish LR with more than 2 minutes to sp…

LG first for me. I like taking them freshest. then LR 2nd, RC 3rd. LR 4th, and EXP 5th. @sweezyseason I took PT's with RC as experimentals, allowing an RC RC back to back, just cause I am deathly afraid of such a situation. I figure I'd better pr…

Question. I'm not currently doing a 7sage Course right now, but I'd still like to buy the explanations for PT 79. I understand how it would be a really good deal for someone with a Course right now, especially an ultimate or ultimate+, the extension…
-
@dcdcdcdcdc I think our approaches are fundamentally the same, the only difference being that I keep the sufficients separate, whereas you combine them. In retrospect, I like the idea of combining them like you did, it certainly makes taking the co…

@John1990 I definitely NEVER review my warm-ups pre PT. And they are mostly redoes of old sections anyway, which should be 0's anyway (hopefully). That way, my confidence doesn't suffer (Cause I usually blow through the section in 28 minutes, makin…

I am now officially a double-delayer, which is very tough. It is really only in my plans for revenge against the LSAT (173+ sounds like revenge to me) that I find solace. Hopefully I will be able to write a story like this one at that time... thanks…

@"Cant Get Right" Funny you should say 1 year 3 months. I'm right around the corner from that. Feb will be 1 year 4 months, though I only studied for about 6-7 of them... and the first 3 were wasted on a Kaplan course... @"Alex Divine" I'm experi…

I was in a similar situation about 4 months ago. RC always killed me. Rarely did I get -4 or less. I started using RC sections from PT 1-20 as my experimental in timed PT's. I read a 180'er a long time ago did the same thing. To really drill RC, eve…

@BinghamtonDave Your post was much appreciated. I think you are my LSAT role model. I find that I fail to see easy games for what they are when I'm doing PT's, and I end up spending 8 minutes on them, thinking to myself "it can't possibly be this …

@"Dillon A. Wright" Thank you for the assistance. I'll try to remember the format. @jknauf For the not both, I'm referring to what JY calls the group 4 logical translation (not both rule). He uses it here https://7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat…

@bswise2 I think redoing old LR (1-30) for warmup will be perfect for me. Plus, that way, BR is a snap (or should be). Thanks! @TheLoftGuy I might end up in the same boat. I tried warming up yesterday with 2 sections (LR+LG) and I felt overworked…
-
Everyone, thanks for the replies. @bswise2 I find I sometimes have that problem in the first 5 on LR. One of the questions (usually the abstract types, MOR, role in argument, etc), which I get tripped up on though I know it's easy. Do you normally…

Thanks for the comments. @"Not Ralph Nader" thanks for the link. I feel like I've read Pacifico's post sometime before but forgot about it. I think I will go get myself a binder now.

I'd recommend against the hotel. I'm opting for the drive myself. Had a nightmare scenario last time with a hotel. At home, much less can go wrong. I'll have enough trouble sleeping as it is, without worrying about loud people partying, dogs barking…

1. My name is Chris (we've met before, actually, at one of the 7-sage events in Manhattan, I talked to you and JY about "Thinking, Fast and Slow); I graduated from a SUNY college 2 years ago, major in German Language/Literature (studied abroad in Ge…

The LSAC could have rephrased the answer choice to be what you were thinking, but that is the conclusion. You cannot generally argue with the conclusion. You need to attack the evidence/assumption, which you don't have to assume are true on the LSAT…

@"Artak Mamikonyan" Yes during the test. Read to understand not to memorize though. If you get it, move on to the next sentence/paragraph. Don't let yourself re-read a list of 5 details about how one psychologist feels about something, or a 3 line d…

@"Dark Knight V" Glad to hear I'm not alone. Let me know what your thoughts on the 70s are when you're done with BR?
-
Single thing that helped me the most, I think, is re-reading something in your original run through (seriously, do it) if you didn't understand it. It will take another 30-45 seconds on your read, but it will solidify everything you have read. Graem…

gratz!

Thanks for the comments! I will keep an eye out for some of these things during my foray into the 70s. Hopefully everything goes well.

For me, its takes AT LEAST 45 minutes per section to BR. For a section. I'll do it timed, wait 2-15 minutes, then BR. For a full PT, I'll take the test, wait 2+ hours/till next day, then BR 2 sections (or 3 if I BR LG) on one day, then the other 2/…

I get bummed out by Strengthen/Weaken questions alot. I just remind myself that they can be some of the toughest LSAT questions they can make. There are really no shortcuts for beating these questions like there are for sufficient/necessary assumpti…
