HYPER SYLLABUS 

Welcome To Binary Solutions Digital Course

Congratulations!  You are now ready to master the LSAT at your own pace and from the comfort of your home.  Here are a couple of things that will help get you started.
FIRST it is important to take a practice LSAT so that we can see where you stand.  If you have not purchased a book containing LSAT exams, you can find a free one here: LSAT DIAGNOSTIC TEST 
Print the exam and find a quiet place to take the test. The LSAT has 4 scored sections and each section takes 35 minutes to complete. Typically, there is a 10 minute break between the second and third sections. An officially administered LSAT has 5 sections-- one of which is an experimental section- and will not be counted towards your score.  A 4-section LSAT is adequate for diagnostic purposes.  
After you have finished the exam, count up the number of questions that you answered correctly—that number is your Raw Score. Your Raw Score translates to a Scaled Score between 120 and 180. The conversion chart on page 40 of the sample exam allows you to convert any Raw Score to a Scaled Score.   Post this score in your private BASECAMP or email it to us at info@binarysolution.com. If you do not complete the test within the allotted time, we also recommend that you give yourself enough time to finish the test and submit an un-timed score as well. The un-timed score can give us a sense of your knowledge base, rather than your speed. Once you have completed the Diagnostic LSAT, you are ready to start deconstructing the test.

NOW YOU NEED YOUR:
1) Hyper-Syllabus  Also provided on lesson-by-lesson links below.
The Hyper- Syllabus is a classic syllabus with hyperlinks to recorded lessons.  The lessons are presented in recommended sequence, but you may modify that sequence to suit your needs. If you choose to do the lectures out of order, it is important that you complete both Games 1 and Arguments 1 before going on to Games 2. 
2) Casebook for the Deconstruction.  
Each of the 13 lessons corresponds to a chapter in the Casebook. The Casebook is a Protected PDF document so you will need to enter a username and password while you are connected to the internet in order to unlock it. Once any Protected PDF document is unlocked it behaves as a normal PDF for 2 weeks (At which point you will have to reconnect to the internet and provide your credentials again). 
Your credentials for Protected PDF and other course tools we use, will be emailed to you, compete with maps detailing how to use tools - if not done already.
After you complete each lecture, you are expected to finish the problems at the end of each chapter as well as the Supplements that are posted in the Class Project.  The Supplements correspond to each of the lessons in the Casebook.

If you have questions on any of the materials, streaming video solutions can be found HERE on Webex under Recorded Sessions. Use the Search function to find a solution to any question.  If you cannot find a solution, post a message in your private basecamp referencing the questions and checking the boxes that notify your instructors (Eva and Robert).  They will provide answers to your question as soon as possible. Be sure to attend any Webinars, download new files and read all the emails so keep up to date on the latest offerings.

AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLETED ALL THE ON DEMAND LESSONS

Once you have finished all of the lessons and completed the Casebook, it is time to begin the testing phase. When taking a test, we recommend that you use a Scantron (bubble sheet) and adhere to the time regulations (35 minutes per section).  After you have finished the test, complete any questions that you did not have time to finish. Next, grade all of your answers by marking the problems correct or incorrect.  Then re-do all of the problems that you got wrong without looking at the answer key - This is your Second Pass.  Keep a record of all of the questions you got wrong a second time in the Analysis Sheets we provide you with.  
After each test, you are expected to complete an Analysis Sheets. This special exercise requires that you do the following for every question that you answered incorrectly: (1) Defend the correct answer and (2) Refute all the incorrect answers that you chose. (3)For Games, redraw the set-up and use only the Truth algorithm to solve the question. Post all completed Analysis Sheets in your Private Basecamp and notify your instructors by checking their names when prompted.
NOTE:  If you begin testing before you complete the Deconstruction Theory, you run the risk of seeing questions that you have not been prepared for.  We recommend that you complete the following Theory lessons before moving to the Application Phase: Games 1-4, Arguments 1-3 and Reading 1. If you are scoring at least 152, you may also skip the Casebook Supplements in the areas that you feel strong in—but oftentimes, students have to return to those areas to achieve a top score. 
Once your score hits 158, it is critical that you keep a list of questions that you got wrong (especially after a Second Pass) so that your instructors can properly diagnose you.  Knowing the question type (eg, strengthen, weaken) is generally not enough to pinpoint a weakness. We use many variables to make our diagnoses and the higher a student’s score, the more narrow the diagnosis becomes – it is like shooting at a smaller target. Hence, your feedback (though always welcome) becomes essential in the latter stages of your preparatio
