Rather than fool proofing all at once, spread out your practice over an extended period of time (say, a week). And drill similar game types; in they end, they really are essentially the same.
-
One thing that has been a huge help for me is thinking in terms of "coloring in" the details of the premise in order to strengthen the support in between the premise and conclusion. Just at face value, all LR arguments are relatively short;(I think …
-
I would advise you to avoid seeing causation logic as relevant "only" for strengthening and weakening question types. One of the aspects of 7sage (as well as the LSAT Trainer) that sets it apart from other prep companies is that it emphasizes how al…

Active reading and blind review, please! Thank you so much for hosting this!

Go to Harvard, Columbia, school-of-your-choice's law reviews, print out some of their articles, and do the Memory Method with them! This has helped me! Law is also my worst RC subject
-
I really do believe that improving your raw reading ability plays a larger role than we would like to think in terms of improving our RC scores. Don't just start reading dense material, but read to memorize structure and the underlying interaction w…

This provides some great motivation and perspective. Thank you. All the best in your first year of law school!

What I know about LSAT prep would tell me 10 hours is not enough weekly study time. But if you decide to still take it in June, focus on the easiest way to increase your score. Which would probably be mastering LGs and aiming for 100% on the first …

@kraft.phillip I agree 100% with what you said about reading inactively as being a huge time-sucker. One of the goals I set for myself when reading is trying to discipline myself to reading the stimulus just once and simply referring to it after, if…
-
I relate with all four. More so, I have begun to see how illogical I can be as well as how illogical most arguments are (i.e. the ones we are used to hearing on a everyday basis via advertisements, disputes between friends, etc.). Humbling, for sure.
-
Possible? Absolutely. Will it take great determination, planning, self-discipline, and efficient studying on your part? Most likely more so than ever before in your academic endeavors.

I go to MSU! But I'm studying abroad in Korea right now...

Have you tried writing out the LR questions you get wrong? That really helps me get in The mind of the test makers.
-
The crux of LR, as well as all of the LSAT, is confidence in mental discipline. The stimulus and ACs are intentionally written to be confusing. Think of the ACs as a gaunlet (I hate cheesy illustrations, but this will have to do) where the tentmaker…
-
Confidence is key on this exam. What the tentmakers are doing with each AC is that they are trying to startle you. Think of the ACs as a gauntlet you're going through, and the only way to make it through alive is having a firm grasp of the Argument …

I like some soft music when reviewing; however, I try to mimic test conditions when doing preptests and practice problems, so I turn off the tunes then. But I will say I have found great benefit in taking PTs in various atmosphere (e.g. coffee shops…
-
Have you checked out J.Y.'s memory method? It's worked great for me. As an aside point, this section really just tests your short term retention. Hence, which is why some questions are time traps and others you must learn to skip/make an educated …
-
I think the key is reference. If you know where exactly in the passage to refer to, then you should be able to whip up a solid grasp of the concept. RC definitely, and rigorously, tests short term memory.
-
It's something you really have to prepare for in advance. I.e. if you want to go to bed at 10 p.m., then you should be winding yourself down starting from 9 p.m. You can Google stuff, but I have found that your body has a natural rhythm that it adju…
-
I used to just do logic games one at a time, and found that my improvements were sparse. But J.Y. makes a great point that LG are the most predictable and repetitive part of the LSAT. I've found that doing the same set over and over again has really…
-
I'll be there! If anyone wants to head there together, shoot me a message here or on Twitter! @Derek_Kim 감사함니다 제이 와이 형~
-
LR: I've really found that you must not only know why the correct answer choice is correct, but also why the other 4 ACs are wrong. Confidence is key on this section. Writing down questions I have gotten wrong has really helped me. I will write them…
-
Same here. Just got to keep remembering what all the work is for! You're not taking the LSAT for the LSAT. You're taking it so you can go to law school, and hopefully, make the world a better place. Look to the reward!

Great reminder. I am taking the LSAT in Korea. All the best!
