I haven't done the Kaplan course before, but I haven't heard many good things about that course. I would highly recommend going through the 7Sage course.
The idea behind BRing is to fully flesh out everything. An example could be:
The stimulus fol…
Depending on how you currently are doing on games, I would say that the easiest way to make that jump is full proofing games, so that you are near perfect on them. If I were you and I was trying to apply this fall, this is what I would do.
1. Stud…
@Redentore3337 Nope, there are times where I literally put my pencil down. I don’t do it all the time, but when I do, it really gives me a sense of calm. I think it is a variation of hunt mode. You are taking the driver’s seat and hunting for the co…
I think everyone has to find their own groove. It seems you’ve found that groove for RC but not LR. For me, I like to put my pencil down a lot because it helps me really focus in on the stimulus. You probably know these tips already, but here are s…
For LR, potential reasons I will skip:
1. I read the stimulas and don’t understand it.
2. I crossed of all the AC.
3. I used POE and was left with one answer choice I don’t feel confident about. I would put a dash next to it to indicate low prio…
When this happens (it happens to all of us), it indicates that our understanding for that question/passage/game was not 100%. So, when you change an answer, that’s another opportunity to learn.
I think it comes down to perspective and knowing yourself well enough to make sure you are happy. Mindset and attitude is important in pretty much anything you do. I remember hearing that stress can have a positive or negative impact based on your f…
Hello,
I finished CC not too long ago and have put much thought into this question. Hopefully, I’ll be able to give you some ideas. I took a PT after CC just to see how far I’ve come and how much more I have to go. My goal right now is to feel real…
@ashleighkong22 best of luck!
@venalexb are you BRing properly? Speed comes with mastery of material. I wouldn't rush for speed just yet. I would get comfortable solving the problems untimed. Maybe before you start timing yourself, you can just use…
I think JY says that you shouldn't study over 30 hours a week, which is about 5 hours a day, 6 days a week. I recall in some video I watched, Yo-Yo Ma recommended that one shouldn't practice over the 5 hours a day because it isn't effective. Everyon…
Ashleigh,
Have you considered taking the September exam instead? It seems that you have not gone through the core-curriculum yet. I think many will recommend that you go through the CC first. With good fundamentals, you should be able to get a 160+…
@goingfor99th Yeah, I know what you mean. Okay, thanks for your insight. Good to know different perspectives on how to approach studying for this exam.
@goingfor99th Thanks! I'll definitely consider using this approach. I have heard of instances where people take a break and end up improving after the break. Did you find that you improved, stayed the same or got rusty when you returned to a section…
@goingfor99th said:
Drill LG until you get bored then switch to a different section type. Drill that section type until you get bored. Rinse, repeat.
Interesting. What's your reasoning behind this approach? I have thought about how to best a…
At this point, I don't think your objective should be to cram in as many PT's as possible. However you decide to study as you gear up towards the LSAT, I would highly encourage that you be careful to not burn out. Doing more PT's doesn't necessarily…
I think one of the easiest mistakes that one can make is rushing through the CC phase. The brain needs time to truly solidify and retain information. I’ve been doing 3-4 drill sets each sitting. I do BR each set very extensivey because I want to mak…
@thisissparta @"Trust But Verify" @AllezAllez21 @sandypants thank you all. I really just wanted to share my thoughts. We really are in this together.
@"Grace..." I do a bunch of stuff. I compose, produce, sing and play the piano. But, I actually ma…
@"Jonathan Wang" While practicing, I never thought I was grinding. Grinding seems to be a word we use when we want to do an extensive amount of work in a short period of time. That mindset, I think, ultimately catches up to us.
