If you haven't already, check 7sage for snakes and lizards. Really good explanation.

I took my first timed LR section today (29-Section 1). I felt good afterwards, but definitely rushed (buzzer-beater). I know I need to start reading faster and marking incorrect answer choices quicker, but the time will come with more practice. I think I am going to wait on joining in the preptest schedule until I take a few more timed sections for each section-type, review, and gather information before taking a fully timed preptest. I am not too far away from that process though! Keep on grinding.

I have been drilling LR like shit..... Haven't started timed LR yet. I am planing to finish MLRB in mid-Feb then maybe go back to LRB for some references. Then schedule timed LG&LR from mid-Feb to end of Feb. If I feel confident on timed PT I'll follow the schedule. If not, I may drill more.

Decided to take a PT tonight and got absolutely dominated by the LR sections. -10 in the first one. Definitely a little demotivating but it also shows me what I need to work on. LR is a tough cookie to crack.

Have you taken 1-2 weeks to drill questions by type? It lays the fundamentals.

[Daily_Double]

It lays the fundamentals.

Wax on, wax off.

You mean all 13 or so LR question types? Isn't that like a full package a day?

[objection_your_honor]

Yeah.

What is everyone doing for studying today? I just did Round 2 of Relative Ordering drills here at work, and later tonight I'm taking PT40. I might try printing off more LGs sneakily at work, bc I'm not doing much else.

[BlaqBella]

Yeah.

Do you recommend doing these drills before tackling any of the PTs?

Started off with a timed section of LR. Now reviewing. Plan is to do some more LR drills/review/reading tonight. I will be heavily focusing on LR this month.

Although I'm pretty sure the plan is to go over PT 40 tomorrow evening, since I just finished reviewing it, I'd be down to review it tonight if anyone wants to join.

[Typhoon24]

so, for June: if you could pick only 1 of the 3, would you have an exceptionally easy games, LR (1 of the 2), or RC section?

RC. And it's not even close.

[objection_your_honor]

Yeah.

That's the gold standard (NoodleyOne's method). I'm doing Cambridge Vol. 1 (after each respective MLSAT LR chapter) before I take any PTs. To drill weaknesses I encounter in PTs, I will use Cambridge Vol. 2.

For what it's worth, I'm a retaker and I did not do this the first time. I can already tell the difference.

[bdeans91]

In and subbed.

Doing my 5th day of PithyPike's plan, just drilling Basic Linear Balanced and finishing up a reading on Strengthen/Justify/Assumption in the LR bible. Also doing some RC drills (-8 on my first section i tried... dammit).

Cold tested a 157, timed and all.

Hoping to get somewhere like 170-175 when it is all said and done!

RC. And it's not even close.

+1, RC drives me insane sometimes. I've gone -2, -1, -1, -6, -4 over my last five PTs, and being able to blow through one would give me a huge bump.

Good work with the low errors, which PTs did you go -6 and -4?

I maybe down for this. Just cleared up some time, so hopefully I can finish reviewing solo now, and we can discuss later.

Finish reviewing PT40, drill LG's maybe 3 hours or so. Need to get a handle on these.

Sounds good.

Some Parallel Flaw questions from Cambridge, I gotta get my rhythm for these questions up to par, and some of the difficult LR problems from Cambridge's section labeled "Difficult Questions."

Hey everyone,

I don't pretend to be an expert of any sort, but thought I would throw this out there since I have some time on my hands:

If anyone wants help of any sort (advice / support) feel free to PM me with q's or concerns. I took the June 2012 LSAT after studying for 4 months daily and was really into it at the time (see profile for more info).

Again, I don't want to pretend I am an expert, but feel I have a lot of information stored away that could potentially help.

Take care and good luck! Remember to eat well, sleep, and exercise!

[griffin.811]

Just curious, for those that took PT 40 already, did anyone else have trouble with the Zephyr Airlines game? I got 4/6 wrong. I actually wasted a lot of time there too. Spent about 4 min before I realized I should skip it and come back if time allowed.
