Regarding LG trends: http://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/1200/recent-trend-for-logic-games Regarding preparing for "rare" games: http://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/comment/4776 Thought about typing up a response, but linking you to …

"most schools average your score" ^^This just isn't true. Most schools openly say on their websites that they will consider only your highest score. Some (NYU, Berkeley, Columbia, Stanford, Harvard and Yale) say that they average them or that "the …

What's your breakdown? Any particular section that you're struggling with? What are your scores on BR? I know most people like to hit the 175+ range on PT's a few times before taking the actual test, especially because there seems to be bit of a und…

"My concern is how much do you think the person that applies December Vs September could lose out as far getting the application in line first?" This is nearly impossible to quantify - the general advice is that applying before thanksgiving (prefer…

We're given a conditional statement: "Justified public funding ---> Indicated that public will benefit" Then we're given a second conditional statement: "if the critics were right about this, then there would be not be tremendous support..." T…

I'm not sure if the flaw has a formal name, but the lawyer has assumed that just because one thing has a certain quality, that another thing must also have that same quality. 1. Defendant intentionally moved the snow 2. The plaintiff was harmed as…

Premise 1: Most people have at least some awareness of the events that are extensively covered by the media. Premise 2: The media extensively covers the few people that win the lottery. Conclusion: It's likely that many people over-estimate their …

I think it comes down to availability. Some standardized test companies don't release official questions - in this situation, it's much more understandable to use made-up questions simply because that's all the student has access to. The LSAC, howev…

Take the test when you're ready, and no sooner. At the end the day if you think you had an off cycle because you applied in December, sit out a year and apply again in September. Law school isn't going anywhere, and it doesn't make any sense to rush…

Jonathan's advice (as usual) is golden. The difficulty in these games emerge from the "shock factor" and from the unusual verbosity in the question stem. Invest time up front, parse out what the hell the stimulus is talking about, and use your intui…

It's certainly true that early admission (in before Thanksgiving) is a good idea; that withstanding, your LSAT score is the single most important part of your application. Take the test when you are ready, and no sooner. Law school isn't going anywh…

Test takers get different experimental sections. So you could have an RC experimental, but the kid next to you could have an LG experimental. The best anyone can tell you is that you have a 33% (1/3) chance to get an RC in September

I don't know much (if anything) about Canadian law schools. I know someone from Canada who is pretty familiar with the topic, however; if you would like, I can have that person get in contact with you. Searching / making a topic on TLS (top-law-scho…

For law: 1. Ignore U.S. News Rankings. You want to minimize debt while maximixing employment outcomes. Unfortunately, the rankings do very little to help students achieve either of these. 2. Focus on LST's employment scores. Law school is expensive,…

Do you feel like you have solid fundamentals? If so, and I imagine you do since you've already done the 7sage course and scored reasonably well on the actual test, then you should probably be drilling LR, RC and LG sections as much as possible. Dril…
-
1. Remain calm. 2. Go over your mistakes. 3. Remind yourself that you've been kicking the LSAT's butt up until this one section. 4. Do your favorite section untimed to restablish confidence. 5. Do another LR section, score well, and forget this …

Edit: Looks like Zach beat me to the punch. Feel free to ignore my explanation haha. The flaw is subtle, and it's a different flaw than most proportion questions, but it's definitely there. Just took a look - definitely one of the harder LR questi…

A method's usefullness is determined solely by its value to the user. If your own method allows you to score well on RC sections, then, yes, you should definitely use it in place of the memory method. I don't annotate at all, so I might not be the b…

Definitely a tricky question. Stimulus isn't overly complicated, but the answers choices are wordy and somewhat convoluted. Process of elimination is probably your best bet to get the right answer in a timely manner. Stimulus: 1. If voters blame a …

Very little, if anything. According to US News, the number 1 ranked health care law program is the University of Maryland...well, for the class of 2013, only 50% of Maryland's law graduates are employed in full-time, long-term, bar-passage-required …

@Gracelover Haha, well I'm glad what I said makes sense. No need to stress yourself out over logic games - you're scoring in the 95th percentile, so you're clearly extremely smart and extremely well-equipped to take on (and beat!) the LSAT. Not sure…
-
1. Don't get discouraged! Most people study for well over 3 months (probably closer to 6-8 months in most cases) for the LSAT. This is a monster of a test, and it takes a lot of time and committment to master. 2. Are you using the 7sage course (or …
-
@Gracelover Intuition comes with practice. LG is by far the most learnable section on the LSAT - with enough practice, I'm willing to say that pretty much anyone (and certainly a high scorer like yourself) can consistently get -1 or -2 wrong on each…
-
1. No need for ad hominem's - you asked a question, I gave an answer. I get it - you're angry at the LSAC - no need to direct that anger at anyone else. 2. "If you answer a question then you are most certainly concerned with answering it. Period." …
-
You're misreading the question stem. We are not being asked to identify something that both passages "mentioned," but rather to identify something that both passages are "concerned with." The differene is subtle, but, as you can imagine, incredibly …

Hate to direct business away from 7sage, but I don't think you can buy individual LR sections (or question-type packets) from here. Head over to http://www.cambridgelsat.com/ and you should be able to find all that you need. Don't stay long though h…

I second what Al said - 7sage definitely has got you covered in the LG department. Follow the fool-proof method and you'll be all set.

This is from the Yale Dean of Admissions (obviously Yale is pretty unique in its acceptance requirements, but I think her advice on LOR is pretty standard): "Academic references are going to carry the most weight. Period. Particularly if you have …
-
Depends on the school. I might be over-generalizing here, but I think most schools prioritize academic recommendations over employer recommendations. I'd focus on getting 2 professors to write letters for you, then contact individual schools and see…

Combination of intuition and experience with past games. I think it's important to avoid slipping into a "robotic" mode when doing LG sections. I realize games are repetitive, but I get the feeling people sometimes forget to actually think about the…
