That makes a lot of sense to me, thanks! That would explain why the tri-colored game would fit better with a regular grouping board
I knew there was some piece I was missing
@uhinberg
Can you possibly explain the open grouping technique? Or even just how you recognize the difference. For me, the simple grouping set up or chart does work for all types of games, my confusion is more around identifying initially which on…
@dennisgerrard
Cool, was curious what you mean by they recommended not to pay tuition? Do you mean they advised getting scholarships? I'm still torn between attending a higher ranked school for more money or a less ranked school for less cost. I'm…

Yes and over the next few decades work contracts will be changing a lot, which will leave even more holes in workers knowledge of their rights. I think it's a fascinating field
Well, I'm very interested employment law as well, so you aren't alone
I think the future of work and how it is going to change in the coming decades with the rise of A.I and shifting ideas about work is a fascinating area. I also think employment …
I also learned from doing PT 81 to never take any section for granted. RC is usually my best section and relatively easy, and I was really thrown by PT 81 RC as a result (but then LG, my worst section usually, was the best on that PT) I think for ea…
first LR section was definitely harder. I used up all my time to get the questions done (I usually have 10 minutes left over to review my answers). That said, I've noticed that this is something the test-makers do sometimes. They throw in an unusual…
The way I've done the last couple PTs, including 80 which I did the other day, is that I'm doing them like a test under timed conditions, blind reviewing and checking over answers in the question bank, but not scoring it. I just think focusing on nu…
I have a similar experience. I've found two strategies to be helpful.
1) I allow myself huge license to skip in the first few questions. If I read the first question and it doesn't click right away, I circle it and move on. Sometimes question 2 as …
I'm foolproofing all the games from 60-81. I think the earlier weird games are also great to do, but I think the most relevant weird games are the ones in the last 20 tests. Just my opinion but those are the ones I'm focusing on the most. Some of th…

Just wanted to add something regarding GPA and LSAT score in Canada. I'm in Canada too, and my understanding is that a lot of how much they weight your GPA and LSAT will also depend on how long you've been out of school and what your …
I'm doing one more full PT today at the library, then planning just to blind review and drill lightly till test day. Maybe a few timed 30 minute sections next week just to keep me sharp.
I'm not planning to score the test today, but rather just foc…
One of my favorites too
I actually work as a background actor part time and was able to be on set for Season 7. I'm not very girly most of the time, but just about fainted when I saw Harvey Spector in person. That guy is insanely good looking
Great points, thanks everyone.
@"Cant Get Right" I love your points on going back to strategy and anchoring oneself in that when emotions run high. Definitely solid advice, and congrats on how well you did despite the early hiccup in June.
@LSATis…
For what it is worth, and J.Y says it often, I really think you should give yourself 10 months to a year to study for this test. There will be some people that can master the curriculum in less than that, but I think they are the exception rather th…

My own techniques are to draw from my meditation practice. I do a lot of meditation and breathing exercises, which can really help in those moments. Also because meditation is about letting go of goals and results (good or bad), so it ca…
As an example, when I did PT 81, I was totally thrown by the first RC section when I hit the second passage and it threw my game tremendously. Mostly cause RC is also my strongest section. That feeling stayed with me the rest of the test. I still di…
Do you guys find there is enough room on the desk to have the watch laid out on it? That was my only concern. If the desks are small, then the added room taken up to fit the watch might be an extra nuisance?
I agree with @Sarah_39
I used to have a coffee dependency also and I actually weened off of it specifically for this test (part of a bigger project to undo some unhealthy habits). The first week off coffee was brutal, withdrawl and tired all the t…
Have you listened to this webinar?

I found it useful for different tips on ways to approach prep at different stages.
I return to CC all the time, for what it is worth. I love the martial arts metaphor @BinghamtonDave (I practice Muay Thai). No shame in sharpening fundamentals. I remember being 8 months into prep and realizing I had to review how to find conclusio…
@"Alex Divine" totally love your comment. I came from a really poor background also, but the mindset you are putting out is essential if one ever wants to dig out of the constraints of their class. It doesn't mean being ignorant of larger structural…
