I actually want to make a post on this when/if I finish my LSAT journey, but what I did that was largely helpful was drilling 40-50s for LR and RC repeatedly. As in, try to retake sections with 30 minutes instead of 35, and BR everything each time. …
I think it's generally acknowledged that PT 72 is "harder" (people will say all the PTs are the same difficulty because it's a standardized test, and that the variations exist between section difficulties, but I still believe PT 72 is pretty hard ha…
@"robyn.brody" thanks!
And also pretty frustrating that LSAC will go out of their way to transition into digital and buy expensive tablets only to give us garbage "styluses" (I mean isn't that just a piece of plastic) that won't work well with the…
Is there anywhere we can get one of those weird stylus pens to practice with? I think I saw a picture of it on reddit and that thing didn't even really look like a stylus lol it looked like it was just a piece of round plastic at the back of the pen…
Best of luck! I'll also be taking it. Last time for June, I got up around the same time you did and drank my coffee as early as possible to prevent a bathroom situation, and also went on a walk to kind of collect myself. Then I meditated, did a few …
I remember being pretty weirded out by this question on the actual exam. I think E can be tempting because of how you interpret "learn to ignore those that do not eat seals." The hypothesis never explains HOW they learn, so it's wide open for us to …
I usually start my study sessions by responding to comments on 7sage haha always a low key way to get into it without feeling like it's actually "studying" (and the accumulated effects of explaining things to yourself/others really pay off!)
But wh…
@"Michael.Cinco" brings up a huge inference that I didn't make until after the exam, that because you need 9 items but you only have 10 pieces (5 people and each can only go a max of two days), when you have a situation where one person only works o…
Went on a mild motivation rabbit-hole and found this:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in…
One of my lowest points of studying this past year has been when I felt like things were taking way too long, that no matter how much time I put it in, I wouldn't improve, etc.
I was told the same "just keep pushing through and you'll see improveme…
Strange question about LG on the digital. I wonder if anyone else could add up the times for their LGs taken on a digital exam? I add up the times and it comes out to be around 30 minutes instead of 35 -- wondering if some of the time just isn't rec…
What @mattfarano said about drinking 3L of water every day leading up to the exam. I drank one cup of coffee in the morning before the June exam and didn't drink any water to avoid having to go. It may seem a bit over-kill, but just practicing your …
I really think that this is the reason for the pilot July exam, where they'll collect all the data to see what the differences are between paper and digital test takers?
I've been having similar issues loading live commentary videos for PT 82 this morning -- all of the other videos for explanations work, but for some reason just the live commentary is buffering super slowly/not at all. I've cleared by cache on Chrom…
Thankfully I was super busy after taking the exam that the wait has gone quickly, but yesterday and today have been excruciating haha best of luck to everyone tomorrow! We few, we happy few...
There is no attack on character here -- you may be able to think that from the fact that Anson says Ludlow "is not a responsible psychologist" but that's not just a random attack on Ludlow's character. He supports it with the general principle that …
I think foolproofing in general is extremely helpful, for all three sections. For LR, if you keep doing the same sections over and over again, you'll burn the patterns and common question types/flaws into your brain that it'll be hard for you not to…
Glad it helped! I started off with very little grasp of the fundamentals, so it's hard to say because my "common sense" logic with no real training worked well for some sections and others I just got totally destroyed (and really frustrated because …
I feel like a sticky post would be good for this forum because this is kind of a common question and I always think back to a couple of good resources:
https://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/13346/confidence-drills
https://7sage.com/webinar/ski…
Listened to the podcast today after seeing the fun (and valid) comments on here. Aside from the logical fallacies and the way Gladwell seems to market his writing/stories in general, I did think that the larger questions of why it is that some peopl…
@"Pride Only Hurts" did you get a stylus with it? And I'm assuming it works well with the 7sage digital platform?
Thanks! Need to get one to study for July but still waiting on June scores haha so hard to self-motivate
@BinghamtonDave thanks for this -- super helpful!
I had a question about your point on MBTs usually rewarding you for making key inferences. So I've usually been following JY's method of doing the "If" questions first and then coming back to the na…
@"paul.sellari"
Can you elaborate on "Or you might have 5 pieces, but the board itself is undetermined (this is usually with group 1 has more pieces than group 2, or other conditional rules). "
Not 100% what you mean in your explanation, but I…
This is a good question, and I think writing the differences out to yourself on a word document would be helpful (that's what I did). The main way you can tell them apart is what element of the grouping game is "unbounded" -- so sometimes you might …
I agree with @LSATscrub -- that's generally the same for me as well. But sometimes, when I know the question isn't that bad (pretty transparent translations) but for some reason my brain is refusing to draw out the relationships, I just write it out…
Is there a consensus on tablet options for those studying for the digital? I think some have mentioned the Kindle Fire as a good budget option, but anyone know of other options / have used the 7Sage Digital and could chime in?
Thanks!
Similar boat -- following for the advice! As for my plan as it stands, I was thinking about taking this week off, ordering a cheap tablet, and then slowly getting back on the grind.
Other than the 7sage podcast, the webinars are incredibly helpful: https://7sage.com/webinar/
