That is actually the same "action figure" (see: TOY) that I got my older brother for his bday because he's obsessed with Batman.

ETA: Nice shaker in the back. Good with keeping up with appearances of actually working out. :mrgreen:
ETA2: Also you put the wh**e in PW.
ETA3: Also also is that your tongue? Or is your lip doing weird things?
ETA4: NICE TLSing WHILE YOU TWERK ON DAT TWERK COMPIE YO.

Ok guys! This may be redundant, but I don't feel like going back and searching for it. I have all of the listed items below in my hand as of today. Where do I start and what has been effective for you? I need my score to jump at least 10+ points!!

I found the Manhattan LG to be superior to the LGB, but I seem to be in the minority. I'd pretty much go in the order listed, assuming LG is your weak spot.

ETA: Congrats, Jackel! Round numbers are awesome!

I asked the same question a few pages back, so I'll share what was offered to me. As was mentioned above, your list is pretty solid as a sequence. My plan is to go through the Trainer in its entirety (as an overview), take a PT, and then drill/PT until test day with the LGB and Manhattan LR Guide as resources to supplement my drilling/PTing as necessary.

My impression of LSAT prep (and execution) is that there are a myriad of effective ways to tackle the problems, the key is to find the way that works best for you. In other words, if the Trainer's explanations for LR don't jive, take a look at Manhattan, if those don't jive, take a look at Powerscore, etc. Conversely, if the Trainer's explanations for LR click and PTing indicates that you are nailing it, you don't need to reinvent the wheel and waste time in other manuals for LR.

ETA: 7Sage is also a good resource to know, especially re: Logic Games and diagramming.

June or October? Comparing MLSAT to The Trainer, while I adore Mike Kim, I did find that the MLSAT books were incredibly thorough (in a good way). I wish I hadn't spent time reading the PS Bibles starting out. So in terms of order, I would recommend doing MLSAT first, and then using the Trainer to tie up loose ends, since Mike, IMO, takes a more casual approach that resonates better with some.

I really enjoyed Interstellar. Christopher Nolan is one of my favorite directors currently.

My tar is an album cover, though.

Ey! Welcome back!
Have you been doing any LG sections at all besides just game drilling? You know these are taking longer than they should and that but have you sat down and tried to get a regular LG section done in the 35min to see how your varying times on games fit with an actual section? and if so what kinda time/score you end with? (hoping you say no so you can give it a shot and have it turn out you can fit them all in and get -0/-1
I haven't. I never saw the point since not even my best times are short enough to meet the bare minimum of what i need to be doing in order to finish every question.

Confidence and repetition build quickness for LG. Just keep drilling and you'll realize the same inferences are made over and over again. You'll just get the order of thought down as time goes. LG was/is my biggest problem area too (I think LR may have now surpassed it). I struggle with time sometimes also, but finding the more I do the quicker I am doing them with less mistakes and less going back.

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.
