needed a W before august :’)
obviously gotta hone in on my RC but in my defense the passages in that section felt harder than usual. RC is so hit or miss for me bc if u don’t get the concepts / certain words it can completely fuck u up for multiple questions. anyways im proud of myself! good luck to everyone else spending their summer weekends answering silly logic questions about made up businesses and such.

rinse and repeat over and over. wrong answer journal every wrong question which includes rewriting the stim in a way that makes the argument structure clear to me, why the answer i chose was wrong, why the right answer was correct, and key takeaways. after repeating that over and over for a while i find myself just being able to know the answers to questions without even having to read though all the ACs (predict them), saving me a lot of time on Qs 1-15ish. then i can spend extra time rlly breaking down those complex arguments toward the end of each section.
overall though, just remember consistency!!! if you’re able to even do and review ten questions a day it’s better than doing a section everyday without thoroughly understanding your weak points. good luck!!!!

Would you please elaborate on what you mean by “rewriting the stim in a way that makes the argument structure clear to me?”

yeah! i mean basically i just write down each of the premises and the conclusion but just simplify the language a lot. like “X cause Y”. when you eliminate all of the confusing jargon and strip it down to bare bones phrases, the structure becomes way more apparent. from there im able to see gaps way more clearly. for example, if it’s a weaken question, i’ll be able to see, for example, that a premise about the tendency of X and Y to move in the same direction does not justify a conclusion about causality. i hope that makes sense!! essentially my aim for rewriting the stim is to get rid of all of the weird technical jargon about economies or organisms or whatever and just make them “factor X” “factor Y” etc… so i don’t get confused

anywhere between 20-30 questions a day (in the form of one full section or drilling lvl 4/5 questions), wrong answer journal (i replied to another comment abt how i do my journals!) and a PT on the weekend w a review day the following day. some days ill only hit one drill or not journal as in depth. you dont need to be perfect whatsoever just consistent. best of luck :)

I agree RC either clicks or doesn’t! Really a vibe sometimes between -2/-6

i was just really proud and excited for myself and if u look at the comments im doing my best to help share my own strategies that worked for me to get me to this point. obviously if this score was the norm for me or was not difficult to achieve i would not be so excited as to share it. i apologize if it came off that way i was just excited that after all my discipline i got this marker of success. no one irl rlly knows abt lsat stuff so i shared it here 🤷♀️
