St. Louis Study Group

Post by RamTitan » Mon Aug 01, 2016 9:54 pm

Not sure if this is the right place to post this thread, but I'd like to start a study group for people taking the LSAT in the St. Louis, MO area.

P.S. I went from a 146 to a 169, so I can help those who are struggling and want to get in the 160+ range; I'd also love to talk shop with someone who has scored 170+

Although I don't live there, I am impressed by the progress you have made. Maybe I can learn something from you.

Look up "Wash U Pre-Law Society" and reach out.

With your past posts, it might be hard to find a study buddy.

Why would my past posts make it hard for me to find a study buddy?

Ah gotcha, haha. Now that I've sat for it, I don't really have any anxiety about the test anymore; just another practice test.

I definitely need suggestions for reading comprehension. It seems to me that the answer choices are written in such a deceptive manner ...

A couple of general tips that have helped me with RC are:

1. There are four answers that are absolutely wrong, and only one right answer. Sometimes it can be something as small as one word that makes an answer wrong, but more often this is not the case.

2. Pay attention to the structure of the passage. While it pays to be a close reader, it's more important to understand the flow of a passage versus details.

3. Drill baby drill. There are many passages I have done 4x or more before I thoroughly understood it. Once you do this though, you'll see all RC passages are virtually the same.

Hopefully. Thanks a lot!
