Re: The Official December 2014 Study Group
First post, checking in. I've seen a lot of people on this thread talk about "drilling." I'm consistently getting -5 or 6 on LR and I would like to get that down to about -3 or 4. When you "drill" are you just repeatedly doing full LR sections under time constrained, doing one type of question, or both? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, does the technique work with games? THANKS!

You should definitely be drilling by type. If you haven't already, go buy some of these.SauceSoMild wrote:First post, checking in. I've seen a lot of people on this thread talk about "drilling."

And yes, it's certainly necessary to drill games in order to improve at games.

Also works wonderfully for LG, yes. I've been timing up with my drills so far.

Going off of mist's suggestion - I use (my very own) 7sage's LSAT analytics to keep track of my stuff. You can make a free account for that. After grading your sections, you can check out our free video explanations!mist4bison wrote:If you use a website to track your scores it's easy to see which ones you have trouble with.

Check out the original post on page 1 for LG drilling.
For LR drilling, people are generally referring to drilling specific question types in the Cambridge bundles. This helps if there's a certain type of question you don't do well on.

So I already have the GROUPED by question type book for LR that goes from PT's 1-20. Do you have any experience with that or know if it is inferior to the Cambridge packets?

The Cambridge packets are better if you buy the PDFs because you can print them and redrill them as needed. Also, they have more questions because they include PTs 1-38.SauceSoMild wrote:Dirigo wrote:Welcome!SauceSoMild wrote:First post, checking in.
