PowerScore LG and LR Books -- Concurrent or Consecutive?

Post by Dipsychus » Wed Sep 18, 2019 8:22 am

I plan on going through both"Bibles" before switching to full-on PT mode (and going over each question incorrectly answered or answered with doubt). I plan to do this over three to four weeks.

My question is in the message title -- what has worked for people? A chapter of each a day, or power through each book, one after the other? My guess is that the former method is what is practised by many/most. But I'm curious if the latter method has strong proponents.

NB: Logic Games is where I need most training and practice.

LSAT: 177

I did the latter by accident, but I would do it again on purpose. For me, it is not about the benefits of reading these books consecutively, but the challenge of reading them concurrently that would drive my decision.

Have you ever, in practice, tried reading two books concurrently with the goal of thoroughly understanding their contents? Reading a classic and history book for two different college courses at the same time does not count, as those types of readings do not require hours of practice to consolidate information afterwards. I believe it is better to focus on learning one section and practicing its questions before proceeding.

The above is just my opinion. Do some people read both concurrently? Sure. Would I recommend it? Not really.

Still, at the end of the day, if you retain the information within both books, you will be fine regardless of how you approach reading.
