@HorseyMed: i can second that he made my RC worse at first

SeanStrickland2024

14:43

Yeah his LR is way too much

pug

14:43

and the diagramming was a little confusing - i suppose its helpful if you're a visual learner

HorseyMed

14:43

It’s outdated. He uses older questions which use more formal logic but pt 70+ drifted way away from it and especially in the 80s

pug

14:43

but when hed do the whole "these in this bucket" and subset stuff i just got confused. once i stopped trying to use his methods exactly, it clicked for me

eggbagel

14:43

do we thin the nyu e wave survivors are destined for the waitlist

SeanStrickland2024

14:44

Nah they got more Rs fs

pug

14:44

his explanations were helpful for me insofar as understanding why the answer i picked was wrong. i was almost always caught 50/50 between two ACs, and would sometimes pick the incorrect one. and generally he does spend more time on the "almost correct" AC if that makes sense

I started at -2 for LR and only got to -1 after 4 months. But he got me from -7 to -1 on RC. I used powerscore Bible for logic games though

4/25 last year was a massive wl wave

Opossum

14:45

Everyone learns so differently its wild sometimes

eggbagel

14:45

a massive wl wave is imminent

SeanStrickland2024

Go by day of the week not by exact date, looks like they’re behind

TwinPeacock

14:46

They’re def ramping up!

also i strongly recommend taking lsat advice from people in any score range not just 165+ this would help you avoid survivorship bias and get input that could be more relevant to whatever needs you specifically have

Grab-The-Lantern

14:47

Noted.

HorseyMed

14:49

I’d ask people who improved a lot

eggbagel

14:49

do schools make you withdraw from pending wl decisions or could you theoretically hop waitlists if you accepted one and then got a better offer

HorseyMed

14:50

But lsat isnt complicated and there is no secret resource. Just go with any of them and if u don’t like it try another one. Generally, 7Sage for LG, lsat lab and demon/lsatlab for LR/RC are well regarded

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

14:50

Yeah two huge tips I can give are dial in your routine two weeks before the test. Make your caffeine/substance use normalized and get your sleep dialed in. Not sleeping before the test is a killer.

eggbagel

14:50

i regret not exploring other resources more cause i just stuck with 7sage but whatever it is what it is

manifestT14acceptances

14:50

@eggbagel: assuming you applied RD you are allowed to stay on waitlists and pending apps

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

14:51

And the other tip is to find the volume of studying that works for you. Some people do way better on 20 hours a week than 40 hours a week and vice versa

CanadaGoose

14:51

I used LSAT Demon a few years ago, and it was the best thing for me honestly

eggbagel

14:51

yeah youd probably be wasting sm money on seat deposits though lmao

NarwhalOfLife

14:51

not wasted invested

PunyHealthyCyclops

14:51

Feel like the test requires practice more than studying. Like repetition was the most effective for me. With blind review tho

TwinPeacock

14:52

The LSAT scared me so much last yr I did the GRE instead. After LSAT demon im doing much better but would do Aug exam so I can skip LGs

AvailablePossum

14:52

GRE was so nice. Such an easy test

eggbagel

14:52

i was pting consistently in the low 170s but couldnt break 170 on the actual test :(
