@VerdantZephyr and fractal geometry! The things that the LSAT has taught me.....

@alexkoo095 Hi there! So I like to keep my low-res summaries brief. I typically try to make them 1 word, two at the most generally, that I can "unpack" by asking "why" or "what" to get to my high-res summary. The "low-res" summary should also be ve…

@lsat2016 Hi there! Sorry about the long reply, I haven't been able to be as active on the forum as I would like lately. When I spoke of the author editorializing, I meant when they insert their own opinions in an aside or something. For example, a …

Getting started now!

@Ru_mp1639 @yazminse Sorry I neglected to put the time! The next call (focusing on LR) will be this Friday at 6PM EST!

Starting in 20 minutes, looking forward to seeing everyone!

Hi @"Ozzy Sheikh" I did not write down anything under timed conditions. I found that it really dramatically increased the amount of time that I had to spend on the passage (I am also a slow writer). I also found that writing things down did not do t…

Congratulations! That is a truly fantastic accomplishment!!

Hi @austinfauni no problem! The "low-res" should be very focused on the content/subject matter of the paragraph. It should be fairly passage-specific. For example, a good low-res for a paragraph might be "abalone experiment." That gives me an idea o…

Starting soon! Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Hi @stmj3467 I did do a lot of untimed work, that is true. Although, I wouldnt use a PT for only untimed work. So I might take the PT or the section timed and then go through everything on blind review. I was trying to practice good reading habits r…

Hi @"Ozzy Sheikh" there is a little play in the joints, especially with low-res summaries. Different people could have slightly different low-res summaries that are all correct. So as long as you are in the vein of what the paragraph is talking abou…

@lsatdiva333 We did not end up going over passage 2 during this session, no. Most people wanted to get to passages 3 and 4 tomorrow, so those will be the focus of that session. I will do something so that anyone who has questions about passage 2 can…

@a1ex_682 No problem, happy to help! I think that if you can fill the template out in BR without going back and rereading the passage, then that should absolutely be the goal. If you can do that, then your retention really is top notch. The goal of…

Thank you for coming everyone! I had a good time, I hope it was helpful. The next session will be tomorrow and will focus on RC passages 3 and 4!
-
Starting in about 25 minutes, looking forward to seeing everyone!

@Alice003 There will absolutely be sessions later in the week/the weekend, so there will certainly be time to let the approach sink in! Also, once this one is over I will get BR calls for another PT going, so no worries!
-
@bradyjohnson64 Excellent, I hope you can make it! If you get stuck in class and are a few minutes late dont worry about it, you will still be able to catch most of it!

The link is at the bottom of the post! Thank you!

Hi @lsatdiva333 You are right, unconsciously thinking about all of these concepts certainly does not come naturally, nor will it be quick at first. At first it does feel a lot like just fumbling around for these abstract ideas. But I promise it does…
-
@swanganie Thank you! im glad you have found it helpful! As to your first question, I did try things to improve reading speed. They did not work and I do not recommend that anyone else try techniques to read faster. Focus your energy on reading mor…

@yeasm22s Hi! The first session will be on the 7th, the second session will be on the 8th. I decided to split it up since I doubt that we will get through everything in one round. Also, since the last passages are usually harder, this will give peop…

@SergMadrid The first call is scheduled for Monday, December 7th at 7PM EST! @mellomel I do not believe I have the capability to record as of this moment. However, I will try to figure that out for some of the other calls that we do! @mia12345 You…

@"Lime Green Dot" Perfect! I am glad to see that you are already seeing results! It was eye opening for me as well. You and I must have been typing responses at the same time lol. If you are interested in which specific cases I was reading, it was …
-
@FutureLawyer77 No problem, I hope this helps you! @laurenalexis I did read some non-LSAT material in my preparation that I think helped me, although I did so inadvertently. I work as a research assistant to a professor and we are working on a proj…

Hi @lsatdiva333 im happy to help! As to your first question, assuming I am understanding correctly, if you are going through and doing untimed work with this structured approach, then I think that you will already be doing most of what is involved …

Im so excited, thank you for inviting me Chris! This is going to be great!

@"Lime Green Dot" Absolutely, I was also relieved to know retakes could still be very beneficial. I had used a lot of PTs and I was afraid that those tests had pretty much spent their worth at that point. If you only have 7 fresh PTs left I would be…
