Velocity Study Group - October 5th
I've decided to do the Velocity full course for October. Is anyone interested in forming a study group? I am open to starting times; maybe something along the lines of 13-15 weeks before test day.

Welcome. I'm not asking for much other than the people who plan to do Velocity for October to chime in once in a while. Not going to show up at your house

I am actually trying to decide today between LG and full course.

Re: Velocity Study Group - October 5th
I'll hang out too! Finished the LG portion a while back. I've looked into LR and RC and my first impression is that LR is solid while RC might not be that great. A friend who used Velocity says the RC section really helped him, though, so I'll definitely try it.

Re: Velocity Study Group - October 5th
Quick question--> Is there a Velocity LG games book that I can buy from like Amazon or do I have to register for the course to get the book?
I already read Powerscore LG and Manhattan LG but I heard Velocity is good so I want to try it but I am not willing to pay 325 for the course.

I don't see that you can buy the book on Amazon or anything like that. I think the only way is through the course. Maybe you could get the material second hand???nmillette wrote:Quick question--> Is there a Velocity LG games book that I can buy from like Amazon or do I have to register for the course to get the book?

Hi, thank you for the response, hopefully I would be able to get one second hand from someone.tuffyjohnson wrote:I don't see that you can buy the book on Amazon or anything like that.

Re: Velocity Study Group - October 5th
I'm very early with this, but let me say, um, I really like Dave's approach to games. Have to say it is a better approach than I learned in Powerscore/7 sage/Blueprint. Maybe it's just the way I think, but I'd rather "plug and chug" and attack than sit an wait for magical moments. Also, the order of attacking questions as well as recording full possibilities are methods I did not learn previously.

Order of attack is golden (and obvious once you do it) but I would recommend staying open to 7sage-type inferences. They save tons of time. Why not combine the best of Velocity with the best of 7sage, ya know?

To early for me to give a testimonial but use the search function. Lots of praise going on these boards.

Re: Velocity Study Group - October 5th
Anyone else spending their 4th of July with Dave Hall? I am! Just finished his whole series on conditional logic. It was good but I still like how Shinners/Blueprint handles unless/without/except --> replace with [if not].
