I took PT 69 yesterday with 2 hours of sleep and absolutely bombed. Gonna blind review then take 2 more in the 70's and do a retake of PT 81 on the week of. Thanks for the advice.

I think he would get 180 because of his test-taking skills; the low-hanging fruit theory,etc.

The end goal isn't to anticipate the right answer. IMO, prephasing the answer helps me engage in the stimulus and FORCE myself to think: "X because of Y; but this is GARBAGE because it TFG/FTC Z" It's almost never 'correct' but I know what X and …

I like to use the Trainer's method. Find conclusion Find premise Find the FLAW in how premises support the conclusion. This flaw is usually my prephase. One layer deeper, I like to phrase my prephases with the terms "Takes for Granted" and "Fa…

I've used the 7sage CC and enjoyed the supplementary work that I have gotten from the trainer, for LR. I think if you do both correctly, it's better than doing one correctly.

@"nessa.k13.0" Thanks Nessa. I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to fully take advantage of this study group setup. But, nonetheless, I had a wonderful time reviewing that comp passage with you and @studying_hard @TryingMyBest @kaabajian @therealna…

Is this still happening? Can't seem to join.

Hey, I'd like to participate as well! Looking forward to it.
-
We are literally in the exact same situation. Keep on keeping on. Take a break.
-
One thing that I struggled with is trying to go too fast. Don't rush. Take time up-front on the passage like you would on LG.

Setting alarm on now with the right time zone so I don't show up 2 hours late this time

Hi Paul1234, I was in a similar position as you coming out of CC; in fact, I didn't take a diagnostic, but my first PT after CC was better than expected; but I hit a major plateau for like 6-7 PT's and stayed at that score. Here's what I've learned…

Hey dude, I've been keeping up with your RC posts and general advice. It's been a great help to me. A popular and perhaps more cautiously pragmatic approach would be to postpone to September. However, here's another way to look at June. As I'm sho…

1 tip I have is physically going somewhere to study. When I'm at home, I don't get in the right headspace and get distracted easily. Go to somewhere you like studying and spend X amount of time there and then call it a day, and be consistent about i…

I was the same way as you for assumption questions. A part of the difficulty in these questions are understanding the stimulus. Make sure to slow down and fully understand. (As well as all the other advice given above).
-
I think it's definitely possible for you to catch up to your PT score. Foolproof games as much as possible and try do the best you can to keep a steady schedule. That said, postponing is also a possibility. Another flip side is leveraging date to …
-
I feel exactly the same as you do on this! I think it was you (maybe I'm wrong) that wrote extensively and elegantly about the BR process. I'm trying (and mostly failing) to try and shift my focus on BR and not on PT. Since you wrote that post, I h…

I think your plan looks good. One thing I'll say is that you being a military musician should not be undervalued. I'm not saying you should bank on that to get you into law school- but it should be viewed as an incredibly special platform for you t…

Alex gives great advice. Go for your score, not a date. Hunker down on LG first to get it down to close to -0. Then LR/RC. If you know you're gonna get a PT and you can feel confident in at least one section of getting a -0 to -3, then you've got …

^ and by full sections I mean from PT's 1-35!
-
I fully understand this. I felt that way too when I was going through the CC. One advice that I received from one of the sages is that PT's are a means to an end; but not an end in itself. It's there to expose weaknesses/strengths rather than a mer…

@"Alex Divine" @jaranda @Sami @Mellow_Z @RafaelBernard Thank you guys so much for the kind words, advice and encouragement. I'm gonna take a couple days to get my mind right and get back at it. This community is the best. Have a good weekend guys.
-
Interested!
-
@dennisgerrard I did them all timed, yes. Sometimes I'd run out of time but I'd try and keep it strict as much as possible. @TheoryandPractice I've been keeping up with your theories on the newer LSATs and your RC guides in general. Do you have any…

@extramedium Hey, I've been running into the same problem. What I've been doing is this: I created a template on my word document similar to how most people put under the comment sections. I physically type out the stimulus, premise, conclusion an…

How do you guys BR LG and RC? Do you guys do a clean BR and do the entire section?
-
Me too!
-
Right on dude.

@Walliums If you don't mind me asking, what was your timeline like in terms of improement? I'm wondering because I am stuck in a plateau from my non-cold diagnostic (161) and am wondering what sorts of progression people saw and how quickly. I've …
