I doubt the distraction from a BJ would make me go -0. It was more of... Cleanly said... Thrusting between the breasteses.

Well, damn! I did five yesterday and had to take breaks throughout; god, I despise all that reading...
Good thing the test only has one RC section, but if they decide to attach an experimental, I swear...

Yeah.. I mean everyone gets a different experimental so you have a chance of getting/not getting an RC experimental I suppose, haha. I want an LG experimental, but my 2nd preference would be LR. RC would be hell again, I hated it so much but I was able to tell on the spot which one was experimental tbh... I have section 3 experimental RC and section 4 as real RC, the former felt insanely tougher to me, whereas the real RC felt tough but not as tough. Even though I did shitty on the real one anyways LMAO

I'd be fine with LG or LR, though three LRs can be burdensome. LG would be the best balance. Hope you get it on test day!

Thanks.. You too.. Lol. Hopefully our proctors are like " lemme give this guy the one with the experimental LG". Even tho they have no clue which is which so I guess this approach is just a hopefully one or I'm just weird.. Stop judging me. Fuck you. Sorry.

I think I may be joining this group. Only because I am still going through the curriculum, will hopefully be done soon. So, tonight I started the Parallel reasoning questions.

I have 48 hours to postpone. Oh. My.

I'm sure you know my philosophy by now, lol. I think you are making the right choice. You won't regret taking the extra time to get through the CC and PT/BR properly. You have already come this far, and I know you have the potential to kill it!

Welcome!

As you already know from J.Y. and Confucius,
"Do not be desirous of having things done quickly. Do not look at small advantages.
Desire to have things done quickly prevents their being done thoroughly.
Looking at small advantages prevents great affairs from being accomplished."

I'm sure we'll be all properly prepared for war in December! :)

Currently using 7sage and am quite happy with it. Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

On Fridays I will interning with at a law with a friend who practices there. Among my other soft's (Interning for Governor of Va, Senator Mark Warner, and Va House of Delegates Minority Leader) would interning at a law firm prior to applying help increase my chances to school's?

Anyways, here's to long nights, caffeine fueled rage, and hoping we get the scores we want!

Welcome, Bailey!

Good luck prepping for December. I am also a fan/user of 7Sage! Otherwise, I would suggest experimenting if you can afford to. I am also a big advocate of The LSAT Trainer and The Manhattan LSAT Prep Books.

I don't think interning will help much with admissions, to be honest. I tend to think softs tend to be given too much importance sometimes, at least according to top law school consultants such as Mike Spivey. And also, remember, work experience will look good/help you when you are looking for a job during law school. Just remember that admissions is 95% a number game. Keep your GPA high and prep hard for a good LSAT and you will be set.
Appreciate the feedback! Semester is finally gearing up so I am just trying to get my study regiment incorporated into my fall semester. I am still going through with the internship. Even if admissions doesn't necessarily look at it as a make or break factor; maybe someone will at least see I have had hands on experience in the field and maybe give me a brownie point or two. I will be getting other materials in addition to 7sage. Currently looking at a few of the bibles!

Hello everyone,

I was initially going for September and realized I am not ready yet (I'm going for 173+), so I literally just changed the date to December. Now I have to adjust my entire study plan again, so as to not burn through the PTs too soon. I see a few familiar faces/names from Sep group, how are y'all adjusting your plans? Tips?

Hey!

Good choice waiting until you are ready to kill this thing!

Tips.... Really understand arguments and be able to find the core with surgical precision.
Fool proof games until they all feel like deja vu until you are doing them
Limit drilling questions by type and instead really dig deep down and see what you aren't understanding with LR questions. Usually, it is because one doesn't understand the underlying conditional logic as much as one believes they do.

Yoooo, fancy seeing you here!!!

Appreciate the tip. Yeah, LR has been one of my stronger sections thus far. LG, however, has been a bit inconsistent. What are your thoughts on J.Y's foolproof LG method?

Love it and attribute it to getting me from -18 on games to -3 on average! I love all 7Sage's philosophies !

It works because the theory behind it is that you are memorizing inferences and all games are so similar that they all begin to feel the same. And you get better and quicker at them.

Yeah I watched the video. And my only confusion was that when I tried playing the same game back to back, much of the inferences/diagram came from memory to the point I was barely reading the rules lol... which made me wonder whether I'm learning how to make inferences or just remembering the inferences of a particular game.

Both is the answer. And that is a good thing. Because many LG games are boilerplate and have such similar inferences. The particular inferences from a particular game will translate over to similar games.

YUP! I've seen all your posts on 7Sage lol.

It didn't go over so well with my family, so I'm under all this stress that I'm doing September (when really I'm planning on withdrawing unless I really feel ready to go).

But, still working hard!

I pause the video, answer the question, and then play the video. After I have done a lesson, I will do all the questions in the corresponding Cambridge material and subsequently review any questions I got wrong or was unsure/iffy/not 100% certain of.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
