Just want to echo @whatsmyname's thanks for @"Cant Get Right"'s awesome responses. Great discussion that's given me a lot to think about.
In the past week, I've been challenging myself to go a little faster on LR, trust my gut/fundamentals more, a…
Typically the advice is to BR only the questions you flagged under timed conditions rather than just doing the entire game over with no filter. I'd say this goes for LR and RC sections too; I wouldn't do an entire RC passage from scratch. The point …
@"Cant Get Right" appreciate your answer, it's so detailed.
I've seen some 7Sage posts, particularly for LR section timing, that recommend going as quickly as possible to leave 10-12min to go back to the challenging last few questions or the starre…
Sounds good, I missed it this time but I'd be down to join a future weekend! Would definitely be interested in BR-ing any LR sections in PT 1-35 (and save the later ones for full timed exams)

I was like this for a long period of time @ayesha1234 -- for me personally, I think nerves were destroying my ability to settle in during timed sections. I found giving myself more structure/strategy was really helpful.…
Hey Mitchell, sort of similar for me. What I'm doing:
- timed run + star questions I'm not certain
- BR only the questions I starred during timed run
- then score and follow-up with in-depth review of the ones that I got wrong or I really strugg…
Hey, I feel like it depends on when you're planning to take the real exam. If you're 100% sure you're taking it this spring and you're feeling great about LR, then yeah maybe you're better off using your time to drill LG. Personally, I'm practicing …
@jmarmaduke96 curious if you are planning to do a part 2 of this guide? Every so often, I still revisit this post and the discussions under it; would love to see any followups.
Hey Adriana, good luck on your grind to the Jan exam. I'm sure you can improve in LG over the next few weeks. Seconding what the above commenters said. What worked for me was a combination of 7Sage fool-proofing and LSAT Trainer LG methods. I improv…
@Auntie2020, nice work! Very encouraging to see you made so much progress. I'm where you were 2 weeks ago, and even unable to even touch a whole passage/questions under timed conditions consistently.
Would love to learn more about how it went for y…
How are your BR numbers? Do you understand everything during BR and have a good grasp for why ACs on those Flaw and MBF questions trip you up?
Just had a discussion on this thread about BR, in-depth review, and PT/drill introspection that I think m…
Also @let1295, for your question on modified timed section. Personally, I choose to do PTs unmodified and really remind myself to keep good form. My choice is purely to have consistency in timed score tracking and be able to look back on trends. If …
Appreciate for the thoughtful response @canihazJD. The 8-12hours feels pretty excessive to me too (and yes it's only on starred questions, oh man). It's probably a results of how many questions I star in my timed PT frenzy and lack of commitment d…
@intellectualplastic congrats on your hard-earned score!! Seconding the comment that you two are a power couple.
Thanks for taking the time to share this super detailed writeup. One part that stuck out to me is your tip to stay motivated and star/B…
@let1295 I'm glad you posted, it helps to hear others are experiencing the same thing. I'm in the same boat as you and with the similar scoring patterns and am really re-evaluating the way I study.
@canihazJD thanks for the responses. Do you have a…
@jmarmaduke96 great session. Thank you for efficiently guiding us through the passage and questions. I'll keep in mind your tip to keep an eye out for and highlight odd details in the passage, thrown in the middle of sentences seemingly off topic. O…
