congrats!!

Congrats!!!

Focus on the Big picture I used to get bogged down trying to memorize every single detail and lost sight of the main point and the purpose of the passage.
-
Practice makes perfect and as mentioned above, its important to try and see the patterns in in/out games. The inferences to be drawn become very repetitive after a while. But something else i wanted to add is that its important to be absolutely flu…

Do you have any downtime at work? I really burned myself out by studying so much after work to the point where I can’t look at an lsat book anymore after work but I try to throw in some studying during downtime at work. This helps because my mind i…

Congrats!! I feel like im on a similar trajectory lol. 165 in June 169 August and just took September and felt like I did slightly better. Would you mind sharing how you improved on RC, any breakthroughs you had? That's where i'm struggling the most…

Breaking the 170s !!

Also 169 and retaking. What’s the worst that could happen?
-
Wow, thanks for the thorough explanation! The examples were very helpful!

@madisont144 I’ve basically done every PT with the exception of the 90s so I’m not sure if I’ll do those now or save them for October but mostly I’m going to focus on getting LG down to -0 by repeating hard games and I’m also going to drill every RC…
-
I sightly underperformed as well b/c I've cracked the 170s on most of my recent PTs and got a 169. Can you try to reverse engineer what went wrong? For example, i know for a fact that I messed up the last LG and that cost me getting into the 170s so…

Congrats !! I’m following in your footsteps with a 165 and now a 169. Hoping to break into the 170s in September or October
-
Love hearing these kind of stories where hard work pays off! Congratulations !
-
Just got a 169 but will retake because my PTs are constantly higher than that. I think if you're mentally up for it, you might want to retake if your average score is higher than 170. All it takes is one good day and you could either get more schola…

For sake of establishing the relevance of my comment, I had double RC on my August take so I've felt the burden/pain. I have two recommendations: 1) Practice double RC before your first take. I did double RC at least 3-4 times to build up stamina …
-
How are you doing on LGs? Because if you haven't perfected LG or at least brought that section down to around -2 then I'd say your best bet is to drill LG like no other until september and pick up the points you need for a 160.

I gained so much from reading the Loophole by Ellen Cassidy. I found that it complemented 7sage's strategies beautifully and taught me a lot about being very critical when examining the answer choices. By being hyper critical with the answer choices…

Weakening questions are my absolutely weakness (pun intended). My new strategy, and im not kidding here, is to skip them and leave them for last. I did this on my recent August take and it allowed me to gain a psychological boost because once i tac…

Okay good, you got the SA down. It's what we need to prove that the conclusion is 100% valid. Now, during NA questions, we are trying to identify things that are necessary to keep the argument alive and they are things that we are already assuming.…
-
Forget about the contrapositives for a second, just remember that if you're tackling a sufficient assumption question, whichever answer choice you pick should convince you 100% that the conclusion is true. So if i say: X likes sweet stuff. Therefor…

I just finished PT 85 and one of the games used the variables JY and during the game i thoguht, oh thank goodness JY is with me on this one lol !
-
Following because I thought the games were hard too!
-
Thank you for sharing such valuable info!

What I’ve heard consistently is that the more your recommenders write about how you excel at your job the better. So personally, I’ve asked my employers to include very specific things that I’ve done at work like leading on cases, doing extensive re…
-
Definitely basics of supply and demand which you can learn on youtube. I think you wouldn’t go wrong on maybe searching for youtube videos that explain the most prominent economic theories that ever existed (classical, neoclassical, neoliberalism, M…

I love figuring out what my weaknesses are and working on those areas. It's rewarding to see improvement after diagnosing certain issues with my reasoning. I also really love the RC passages. They're so interesting and you get to read about so many…

Finish the CC first

One sentence at a time and look for overlapping concepts. It's always about putting things together but some can be veryyyy tricky because they throw in many useless premises to confuse you. So go one sentence at a time try to think how one sentence…

Have you tried reading a the Loophole by Ellen Cassidy? It really helps and supplements 7sage well

Hope you dont mind if i join you all
