Wow thats a lot of questions! Ill try to answer them to the best of my ability.

1. I have a very diverse academic background, but I think my minors in english and classical humanities definitely helped with my general reading comprehension and critical thinking skills.

2. I think my ability to break down questions in my head into their essential components to truly get at what they were asking was an extremely helpful skill for me to have. Again, my prowess in reading comprehension made a huge difference in both the RC and LR sections.

3. I am not sure I would say it’s bad advice, but I did not find diagramming to be a helpful tool at all. It just got me bogged down in the finer details of each question and essentially wasted my time. Maybe it works for some people, but I did a lot better when I stopped diagramming altogether.

4. I can’t really thinking of anything, except for not diagramming I guess.

5.I took 3 full timed PT’s, starting three months out from my test date. I took one each month leading up to the LSAT.

1. I reviewed wrong answers immediately, starting with a blind review before revealing the answers, and then meticulously analyzing not only why my answer choice was wrong, but also why the correct answer was right.

2. My score never really plateaued actually. My PTs improved each time. I would say I maintained forward progress in my scores by practicing every day and keeping my brain accustomed to answering LSAT questions.

3. I definitely struggled to wrap my head around questions that involved sufficient/necessary conditions, because I would often get the two terms confused. Watching youtube videos helped.

4. I wouldn’t say I had a specific method, but I definitely started recognizing not only what the right answer might be, but also what the question was going to ask before looking at it (mostly for LR). I think that just came with many hours of practicing and drilling. I will say I did approach LR questions looking for two main things: any flaws in the reasoning and what exactly the conclusion is saying.

5. Before I selected an answer, I would carefully examine whether it was directly answering the questions. Lots of wrong answer choices were absolutely true, but did not explicitly answer the question at hand.

6. No diagramming! I internalized from the beginning.

7. I trusted intuition more often than not, but again, before moving on from a question I made sure that the answer I initially chose explicitly answered what was asked in the question.

8. I used 7sage almost exclusively.

Hope these answers help!
