You need to see what is causing the pacing troubles

If you are rushing during reading of the passage in order to save time, you’re probably re-reading big parts of the passage while answering questions and thereby in fact spending more time per set. So instead, forget about the clock while reading the passage - just focus on understanding the passage and the reasoning of the author. Advanced tip - especially invest time during the first few sentences. That really creates a deep sync between you and the passage and often leads to faster processing of the information for the remainder of the passage. These will help you answer the actual questions often in 30 seconds even.

Every so often you will find a passage that has content which is extremely alien to you. Very dense and weird ideas or words. In such cases, don’t bother trying to understand every little detail. Instead in this case, try to understand the gist of every paragraph and retain the gist in your mind. Else you would unnecessarily end up spending like 8-9 minutes reading the passage in trying to understand every minute detail which is not really required, understanding the broader idea of the paragraphs, understanding the flow and reasoning of the author is what matters in answering questions. If a particular question tests a specific detail, you can re-read that small part of the passage at that time to answer that question but in general don’t overload yourself trying to understand the tiniest details

Finally, avoid word-matching while answering questions. When you’re stuck between 2 options, a trap choice between the two would often use a phrase or wording that is a direct match from the passage but is the wrong choice because the overall idea conveyed in that option is actually not supported by the passage. So never word match, that is a common trap, instead focus on what the option actually conveys and judge accordingly

Practice all above on 655 and then 705 level passages. And then apply on difficult LSAT passages

Hello I wanted to ask does anyone know if the few questions provided in GMAC starter kit are separate from those in official mocks or OG/Review books? Like there won't be any overlap?

One of the biggest question applicants had in our coffee session last night was, "Should I apply in Round 1, or wait for Round 2?"

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. For some, applying earlier makes sense. For others, waiting a couple of months to strengthen their profile can make a real difference.

If you’re stuck trying to decide, book a call with Jenifer Turtschanow.

She’ll review your profile, talk through your options, and help you figure out which application round makes the most sense for you.

Hi @bb, @bunuel and organisers of the MBA Application Walkthrough - it’s been super helpful! I was wondering if we can have access to recorded sessions as some of the schools got skipped due to overlaps and it would be very helpful during the process of application submission - kindly let me know! Thanks again :)
