If you go down the path of focusing heavily on one section, just don't make the make mistake I did of not doing enough maintenance work on the other two sections. I like the prior poster's suggestion of carving out targets for spending time on the s…

Highlighting a lot is helpful in the beginning, especially when you are building up your fundamentals in RC. I used different colors for a while too, and it helped me learn to create visual maps of the passage. While you're in the earlier stages yo…

For LR, 1h (2x) on br is and 1hr on review is fine. Everyone’s different but 1h is close to the max I would spend on BR though. Final Review I’ve spent more than 1h. For LG, depending on where you are in the curriculum it might not be worth spendin…

That’s a really great thread Thanks for sharing
-
Thanks guys! I took a break from Lr for the past week to focus on Lg but will check these out.
-
I don’t think there’s a consensus on how best to tackle the curriculum, even among tutors. Chronological is a safe bet. LR is good to start (it takes a while for some of the concepts to marinate) and RC best done after finishing LR. You’ll also ne…

Great advice, thanks for sharing

I would have intuitively read it the same way as JY, because in my subjective understanding the term “as many” is inherently vague and does not imply “exactly”. But it’s a close call and your reading would more closely reflect the dictionary defini…

Which question is that? Would be easier to say for certain if we could see the answer choices, but i'll take a guess. It sounds like the stimulus consists of individual premises. (X, Y,, Z) The answer choices are individual conclusions. (A, B, C,…

Definitely do not do every practice drill. JY has explicitly said not to do this in the podcasts and that the practice drills were not intended to be used in this manner. It's a balance between reinforcing the material until you have some basic com…

This is a fun quirky one. Biologist: Forest continues to disappear at present pace --> koala approaches extinction. Politician: Stop deforestation --> save koala I suspect the tricky bit here is the translation of the politician's statement…

Thanks Julia this is really helpful!

I occasionally will use it to take quick notes, but eventually I transfer everything to an excel or google sheet. it's much easier to analyze patterns and review past journal entries that way.
-
It's totally normal. Don't worry about it. You will get faster as your study more but how you study affects how quickly you improve with speed. The key to getting faster is including both timed and untimed work. Timed work helps with building focus…

are you redoing the 7sage curriculum for LG or just looking at the video explanations? The 7sage approach to LG i feel is quite different from the other test providers.

Having a study buddy or someone else going through the same process that you can rant to and commiserate with is really helpful for maintaining mental well being. Everyone i've talked to who has studied for this test has experienced burnout at some…

@"Persistence_beats-resistance28" said: I've read all of these comments and concerns. Is there someone who can speak to how to use this the right way (essentially if they are looking to go in order) and not have an overlap in what they drill v…

Thanks for the help and tips! I really appreciate it and found it useful! To others... @siaeesh74-1-1 was super helpful.

Good luck. I'm in the same boat as you, my gap was even worse and I'm still working on it.

Awesome Thank you

The approach is 90% the same. But I take a slightly different emphasis depending on the passage. For science passages that focus on a phenomena which are conceptually complex, I'll emphasize trying to visualize the phenomena to wrap my head around …

Was super valuable! Looking forward to the next one.

Following. Very excited for this.

Analysing Sentences: An Introduction to English Syntax (Learning about Language) Noel Burton-Roberts most of the book won't be relevant to the LSAT but there were some super eye opening bits. the concept of tree diagramming is a really useful fram…

if you're already struggling with anxiety on test day I wouldn't use noise cancelling headphones for practice tests. not having something you're accustomed to may make you even more nervous on test day and you won't be able to use the headphones on …
-
Here's a general approach. Start with your target score and figure out what percentage of questions you can get wrong in an LR section and still get your target score (you'll have to plug in some assumptions about LG and RC). Drill NA until you ca…
-
That's exactly the answer I was looking for! Thank you...Makes sense you'd be the one to answer haha.
-
are you guys taking PTs from drastically different years? in addition to the great explanations suggested above that could be another source of variance.

@lsatjanuary how have you structured your drilling practice? For LR specifically, I think how you drill is as important to progress as just churning out questions. I was stuck in a plateau until I experimented with different drilling formats and f…
