The Power Of Pattern Recognition

My studies have really taken off as of lately and I’m really happy with my trajectory. We still have a few bumps in the road to smooth out however we are definitely getting somewhere now (LET HER COOK).

Anyways.

One thing I noticed is that the more questions I do, and the more drills I take, the faster and more often I can weed out wrong answers, eventually figuring out the right one when narrowed down to two (why one is right and why one is wrong and of course why the others are way off). I chalk this up to two things: 1) the power of volume 2) the power of pattern recognition.

I would never recommend volume to people just starting out learning the foundations and getting to know each question type. HOWEVER there comes a certain point where volume + meaningful review, becomes crucial in your study (atleast I think so personally). I think this volume + review thing comes in clutch when your scoring somewhere in the mid 150s score band and higher, but that’s just my personal opinion, and who tf am I, I’m nobody.

But all of this to say, I cannot stress enough that on the LSAT, the power of pattern recognition is very real.

A test that once felt impossible now has me tearing up at my desk thinking “wow I will be going to law school one day soon, let me keep cooking”, and I’m honestly grateful for that.

Keep going ❤️ don’t forget why you started.
