General Info on Blind Review. Forum

[goddard24]

Morning guys, this could probably serve to benefit all of us, but just wondering whether it is more beneficial to do a blind review immediately following a PT or waiting at most a day? Always appreciate any insight from you guys.

If you cannot do it effectively right after the exam (too tired, biased by previous responses, etc.), then wait.

Not waiting also leads to not BRing every question that deserves it.

Crappy example:
1. questions unanswered or completely guessed.
2. questions narrowed down to three possible credited responses. Partially guessed.
3. narrowed down to two possible credited responses.
4. found TCR via process of elimination but can't understand why it is TCR.

I found myself not BRing the 4th group when I obviously should have reviewed these type of responses.

BR right after a PT or section (if drilling). BR is more beneficial if you can remember your initial thought process - this is where your brain naturally went when under timed stress. If your initial thought process was incorrect then you need to be able to recognize that thought process when it happens the next time and know how to correct. Putting off BR until you've had down time distances you from that initial thought process that needs to be corrected and shifts the emphasis of the BR to 'correct answers' rather than 'correct thought processes', which is less helpful on the actual test when you are under pressure. If you can easily recall your initial thought process several hours later, then go ahead and BR then, if not, then you should BR soon after taking the PT or section.

Practicing for the LSAT isn't about getting the correct answer on a practice question, it's about learning a correct thought process.
