Meditation? lol. That's what results - meditation can help in rewiring those pathways. Taming the drunken monkey bitten by a scorpion - and pursuing the path of righteousness.
A little off topic there, by righteousness - I mean the solution to the…
@nicole.hopkins I definitely think it's within our control to rewire these pathways - think critically - read for structure - etc.
But I think we underestimate the level of discipline and amount of practice it takes to get there - and that somethi…
@ddakjiking yeah, I was joking. and unfortunately, whether we want to be or not, I honestly think we are all destined for gunner status. I mean, how dedicated are we already to not even law school yet?
I don't think we could even comprehend non-gu…
@nicole.hopkins lol. Thanks Nicole!
@blah170blah I'm having a hard time hitting those scores consistently too. Right now, honestly, it's feels like I'm juggling plates. Like I improve a bit in one area (like RC), then realize LR is slipping, run o…
@nicole.hopkins LOL. The memories of El Capitan...
Yeah, I'm planning on either going for a walk outside - (fresh air and all) - or going to the gym for a light workout.
@AlexanderL0 I know that I'm going to have too much nervous energy - so gett…
@emli1000 good idea. I don't have a routine for taking tests at 12:30 yet, but I will do that and try and set up a routine that I can follow on test day
Just nervous about the extra time.
Yes - we are reviewing 55 on Monday and 56 next Saturday. In a few weeks we will get to the 60s if you want to join then. Just keep an eye on discussions - we always post about upcoming BR.
I went through the Manhattan RC guide this past weekend and it's fairly short. I've already gone through 7Sage and the Trainer. But the Manhattan guide, I think, is most helpful to figure out the process of how to eliminate wrong answer choices and …
Yes. 7Sage is fantastic for formal logic and help understanding individual questions. I also like 7Sage's method for games over the LSAT Trainer. But the Trainer is great for honing your intuition and seeing the big picture - which helps both with s…
@emli1000 And...is your news that you are going for October? If so, October for the win! It's totally good to take it when you're ready. I am hoping that you will join in for the 50s at least though.
Otherwise. What is your news?!?!
@"Dillon A. Wright" LOL. I can hear his voice in my head. - So there are words on the page, and your eyes are moving from left to right in an orderly fashion from the start of the passage, through all of the paragraphs - what normally happens during…
@pseudonymous LOL. I can handle it any other time - including next time. I just didn't want to erase 52 because it was my diagnostic. And it was scary - I mean the group is all knowing - 180 or bunk. Anything that challenges that terrifies me. We as…
OK. @"Nilesh S" - I went through Manhattan this past weekend and I am reviewing 7Sage and the Trainer's info on RC. It's starting to come together with the info about the big picture with help from blah and brna. RC is a tough cookie to crack - but…
@brna0714 & @blah170blah Thanks so much for your input!
I know that there is so much advice out there about how to get "there" - aka a high score on RC. But I just felt like I was running around in circles without honing in on what "there" was…
And do NOT take a sip of water in between. You can get in serious trouble for that. The proctors who allowed that were unusually kind human beings, but I wouldn't rely on your proctor being like that. Like others who have posted here, except for the…
@emli1000 Can you choose participants from the group to call every Sat? Or do you have to call everyone?
Do you want to PM me the info about who will be there so I can make sure to call everyone who wants to join?
@nicole.hopkins i think you should start preparing now for the inevitable LSAT withdrawal you will have after you take the LSAT. But thank goodness you have at least until Oct!!! What would you do?!?!
...what will I do after June?!
If @emli1000 cannot be there, I can call the group - but I do not have @blah170blah or @lsatcommitted skype names - so PM me those and I can put together a group for Sat. Also if there are any new folk interested, get me your Skype names as well!
@blah170blah nothing is going on yet! lol. 47 this Saturday. Not sure about Monday - but we are looking at splitting into two groups for Monday BR - so that June testers can start later tests, and October testers can* keep slugging through older tes…
