I would recommend untimed at first for practice. I don't really put myself under timed pressure, I just keep track to see which passages give me trouble. So I let the timer run while I'm doing it but I don't try to do them in X amount of minutes. Al…
Ok, I would first focus on reading for structure. Work on developing low res summaries and the memory method. I was skeptical at first and I had to do more practice with the memory method than was recomended in the course, but it has really paid off…
Redoing the CC is helping me. I’m really focusing on trying to read the way JY does. I’m implementing skipping in as well. Also some folks have talked about foolproofing RC like they do for LG, which seems to be helping me (although I will admit thi…
Also work on implementing skipping strategies into your PTs. For example, skip the hardest question in each passage to gain more time for the last passage. There are usually hard questions and easy questions in each passage. Skipping allows you to g…
I also wanted to note that going slow early helps you build good habits. If you start trying to go fast too early, you run the risk of picking up some bad habits without being aware of them (this is what happened to me in the RC CC the first time th…
I want to quantify the number of hours I inputted in the questionnaire. I believe 4-5hours 6 days a week is a fairly good study schedule. It works well for me anyway. Make sure you take one full day off a week to avoid burnout!
I personally take a …
I would highly recommend listening to the 7Sage podcasts as well. They provide a lot of insight. In addition there is a webinar on skipping that is quite useful. Although I agree with @LSAT_Wrecker that in the CC to focus on understanding rather tha…
Patience will definitely be a virtue as others have said here. I would like to add a note that if you are weak in RC then start working on that early with your other lessons. RC is typically the hardest to improve on. For me it is taking a long time…
I found myself wondering the same thing recently so I looked for this topic in the discussion forum. It seems to take me a while to come up with the purpose even though the MP seems pretty obvious most of the time. I think the reason for the difficu…
Implement skipping strategies. There is a great webinar on here about it. Skipping allows you to pick the questions you can get right. Then it leaves you time to pick the next questions to tackle. It is difficult to process that we don't have to get…
The language has changed a little, but it is worth while to get to know this, who knows when they might throw some language like the old tests back at us. Looking at the first question can sometimes help you figure out what the game board should loo…
Yes! You can study too much. I remember in the podcasts that one person said studying 60 hours over 6 weeks is better than 60hours in one week (as a hypothetical). The point was that it takes time for these new ideas to sink in. I think of it like l…
I have noticed a pattern in some correct answer choices. They are the opposite of what was stated. For example, (and this is an easy made up example to clarify what I am saying) if the author of the passage says they are taller than x, the right inf…
I'm 29 and I was having the same thoughts. But, it is not too late and ultimately getting into a better school or ending up in a more affordable situation outweigh the age you will be. I keep looking at employment statistics of the schools I could g…
I fully agree with the other two responses. I would add, as some food for thought, perhaps it would benefit you to take these early preptests focusing on using the habits in the curriculum. So, instead of trying to get the best score you can or go a…
I do not blind review all the questions. However, I have taken roughly five preptests that have been used up all ready (PT and BR) and then went through every single logical reasoning question untimed and wrote out every single reason I could think …
I took the delayed exam in Maine and I got my score back the morning of dec. 8th. I don’t understand why your center would be slower. I am so sorry that you don’t have your scores yet!
Hi,
I understand feeling like you don’t want to be a year older. I just turned 29 and will have to wait one more year to apply because I was not happy with my LSAT score. I want to get into a top 14 and I have decided I will not settle right now be…
