And that's the worry @licknee10 -- I'd love to aim for those very schools! Harvard updated their policy to include acceptance of the highest scores. But other policies are more ambiguous.

What are you leaning more towards @harrismegan ?
-
Thanks for your suggestion @LeBisondeMist !

Personally, I like the metaphor of low-hanging fruit. Why waste your energy climbing allllll the way up to the tippy top of the tree to get that one fruit when you have just as tasty, easier-to-grab fruits right next to you? Gotta conserve energy &a…

The pattern is about noticing the true 'replicability' of the test itself. It is standardized -- there are not huge differences between the tests. Similar reasoning & heck, even very similar content, appear again & again. Why? Because it's …

Hi @Jengibre I'm glad you posted because I feel that I am in a very similar situation. You don't have to decide *yet* about December -- the money is already a sunk cost. You can keep preparing and continue to assess how you feel. It will not be wa…

For speed, a few tips: I mark the passages very minimally -- mostly, not at all. I usually have those moments of "what did I just read, I need to read again" at the very beginning of a passage. It's as if I get the 'jitters' over & done with a…

@pjanderson5 any patterns in the *content* itself? Perhaps they are not related via Question types but are related in that they are the more 'abstract' stimuli of the section or rely most heavily on lawgic or rely on conditional statements or deal w…

Just to reiterate what other people have written, I definitely think this sounds like the case of needing a 'warm-up'. I would see what works for you, whether warming up with LR or LG -- but just to get the brain into LSAT thinking mode. It is grea…

I just want to make a separate note about psyching yourself out. Even though you see this 'trend', do not psych yourself out & think the trend will always happen. You don't want to be thinking negatively about the second LR, thinking oh no, I …

Hi @bsbernstein , did you ever find a strategy to help you? I have found that I am finishing my RC in 25 minutes (I have no idea how.. I'm still surprised every time), but I am also usually missing 1 every time. The problem is that 1 is usually one…

Try The LSAT Trainer. Kim specifically addresses different types. I especially like his model of the 'Price is Right' strategy for Analogy Questions.

Suggestions: 1) Know your own (or JY's) examples for the abstract language. The same abstract descriptions for flaws are used over again. In studying, have in your mind specific examples for these descriptions. What would circular reasoning actuall…

@LeoFiro8 You would write down 1AC = ...what you're expecting the 1 correct AC to have.... & then 4AC = ..... what you're expecting the 4 incorrect ACs to have.... Example: PT32, S4, Q15 Doctors should never prescribe.... The Q is a Flaw EXCEPT…

@cksgaggs I discuss other tips with LR & RC in terms of blind review in this post -- http://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/1518/highest-score-longest-review. When you say that you're struggling to focus, perhaps there are certain types of Q…

Thank you @JohnDenver !

Hi @lsathopeful , I chose the 'sparks' as a metaphor related to when JY discusses those 'sparks of intuition' in LR. What I meant by 'sparks of memory' was the 'aha!' moment when you directly recall where that topic/word/phrase is within the passa…

A quick response is -- then don't force yourself to circle more than you need to. You should be circling all of those that you don't feel 100% about. You could, if you wanted, develop a strategy for a 'lighter circle' as a certain percentage (80-100…

Graeme Blake challenged 2 questions & received 2 very long responses from LSAC -- top post on http://lsathacks.com/blog/ Interesting to read!

Thanks for the additional help -- @JamesRay , @dudelsat99 , & @spencercross !
-
Wow! Congrats!
-
Thank you @aidan123 and @lbalestrieri !
-
Thanks again @QuickSilver and thank you for your reply @LSATisland -- helpful suggestions!
-
Thank you so much @QuickSilver ! As to the other comments, the problem is that I don't have a consistent approach! I keep varying the way I mark the passages. So my advice would be a jumble of different things that sometimes work & sometimes do…

There is heightened emotion, heightened stress, & heightened pressure. Yet we are still expected to perform our best. First off, I don't know what works best for you -- but you can try relaxing or doing something that normally cheers you up or …

For writing out why the right AC is absolutely correct and the 4 other ACs are absolutely incorrect, I suggest that you consider posting to the corresponding video explanations on 7sage (depending on your package). Since you are going to write it …
-
Hi harrismegan, I BR using the same method I described for LR, including cutting out the passages and questions for later review. There is a difference between LR & RC though -- Whereas in LR, J.Y. teaches us to cultivate that 'spark of intui…

Thanks fifthending -- I have studied for approx two months, with 75% of my time focused on learning the material, 25% on preptests. Now I've switched those percentages around.
-
Thanks for all of the responses! To answer jeje's question -- I review LR firstly by Blind Review. Trekking back through all of my circled questions & giving myself as much time as I want to choose the one absolutely correct answer and four ab…
