Consistently finishing RC sections with 10 minutes left. This is glorious.

you annotate or do you just read?

I just read. I've noticed that I am a lot more focused on the content when I simply concentrate on what I'm reading. It's been more mental for me than anything. Simply doing them everyday has made it easier.

Damn nice! Do you use the 7Sage memory method or any other technique?

I've read all about the method, and I am a huge advocate for all of 7Sage's resources, yet I do not currently use any other methods besides reading, crossing out wrong answers, and when I know an answer is correct, I don't waste any more time in reviewing other answers. I'm around -3/-4 whereas I was around -9/-10 my last LSAT take. If I can score that with a -0/-1 to 2 on LG, I'll be mid 170s easily.

Ahh, ok, that's good to know. I, too just read and find that i'm much more concentrated as opposed to scribbling all over the passage. Timing is still kind of an issue though

I do the same thing; doing passages every now and then really does help as well.
-5 is pretty much my worst score these days, but having 10 minutes to spare must be nice!

PT42 LR4: -4 (35 mins)

ran out of time on one of the questions so went with my best pick. don't know which 4 i got wrong but will review it later. hate that my timing on LR is so inconsistent. some days i'll finish with 2/3 mins to spare, and some days i'll run out of time, ugh.

The 26 Question sections are always hit or miss with timing for me too

Yeah, LR has always been that section that fluctuates with timing for me. Especially the 26 question ones since i usually leave parallel questions for last, which obviously take a bit longer. I don't know what to do in order to get my -3/-4 in each LR section down to -3 or lower in total for both sections. Idk how people do it!!!

Ya timing is up in the air for me too sometimes. My last 2 PTs before September, I was able to be in -3 and under with some time left over but thats not always the case. During Sept, the 26 Q section I didnt get to 2 questions and then the other section I crushed.

PT62: 167
-4 RC
-3 LR
-8 LG
-3 LR

I need to drill games more. Had no idea what was going on in game 3 and game 2 took forever.

[earldasquirel]

Checking in. Will be my 3rd and final lsat. Good luck on test day everybody

[blackmamba8]

Anyone else have trouble with PT56-S2? I went -5 on it which is 2-3 worse than I usually do on LR sections. I went -1 on the LR section right after it so I don't think it was fatigue.

[galeatus]

Checking back in.

Finally gonna restart prepping after a post-Sept break, starting with some light LR drilling today.

CBA to do another diagnostic, gonna just keep drilling.

[theboringest]

Any of my fellow September retakers not been super diligent about studying since we took our test?

Have been working, but minimally. Not at my traditional committed level; However, I have been super busy with school work as well. Ive been drilling mainly LG and working through the Manhattan LG.

I also started the trainer, and plan to put in several hours today. Midterms coming up so I just gotta balance my time effectively

[Mikey]

WOW

PT47 LG: -4 (34:09)

last game was time consuming, but i went -3 on game 3 which to me made no sense since im really good with that game type, UGH. haven't gotten this fucked up in LG in A WHILE, smh. gonna review it

e: game 2 had a rule that i had no clue wtf it meant and sat there for a minute trying to figure it out. thought i was going to do mediocre on that game but i guess what i thought the rule meant was actually what it meant lmao

[Walliums]

Anyone worked through the LG Mastery Challenge in the LSAT Trainer? Getting my ass handed to me currently on time but at least my accuracy is good.

[Nichilismo]

I've been annihilating LG but LR is much more difficult, I end up falling apart on the last 5 questions. I finish with enough time but I think I need to work on my mental endurance a little more.

praying that I won't be checking in in a week

Endurance will come with time, drilling and PTs. Stack sections back to back like LR-LR for example and in the beginning just go through as fast as you can, but you dont necessarily have to do it in 35 mins(eventually a good idea, but ease into it). This should help with Endurance and 1 section will be a joke.

I am really enjoying the approach of the trainer. Love the approach-- it is helping me really build on to my already extremely strong foundation and understanding how LSAC thinks. Although, sometimes I feel like there is a lot of fluff, it does usually tie in and I have an epiphany.

I feel the same way about The Trainer. the fluff does usually tie in. Usually, lol.

How are you all aiming timing-wise for LG? I feel like I am so slow... Right now I'm aiming for 2:00 diagram, then about 1:00 per question (but it definitely doesn't always work out that way question-wise).

Try doing most of the work up front. A lot people find it preferable to take 4-5 minutes setting up the game and making inferences and then only spending a few minutes on the questions.
