Hey all,

Wondering if you might have some opinions about this: I'm ideally looking to apply to schools in October, right after taking the September exam, and need to give my recommenders enough time to write their letters, which means asking them no later than, I'd say, mid-July. I'm fairly confident that I can raise my score to my goal number by September, but also don't want to risk asking for letters now and realize in August that I want more time to study. How would you say I handle this? One of my three recommenders offered to provide a recommendation first, so that's out of the way, but the other two are still up in the air.

Thanks!

While prepping, how many full timed PTs did you take? I have access to 1-80+ (but am using 1-35 for drilling/fool proofing). I'm very overwhelmed by the prospect of doing 45+ PTs. That feels like... a lot. So how many did you do - do you feel you didn't do enough? Too much? Just right? If you have Ultimate+, did you utilize all of the PTs?

As of now I'm looking at doing 2-3 a week with blind review, starting in July. That would allow me to get through every single PT 36+. But damn that feels like a lot and wouldn't give me any more material if I decide to retake after Dec.

Did anyone take the June test in any of the following locations?

University of Baltimore

Radisson Hotel-Baltimore Downtown

Morgan State University

Towson University

University of Maryland-Baltimore County

What was your experience? I'm currently signed up to take it at the University of Baltimore but reviews on the web are sparse of that location in particular.

Thanks!

(Sorry mods if this post is not okay...?)

I have a new Preptest 79 that I bought on Amazon and didn't use that someone who needs it can have for free. I can mail it to you if you message me your address. I'll post an update once it's taken.

Remember in "Some and Most Relationship" lesson, JY mentions that "some" and "many" can be used interchangeably because they both have subjective definition. Then how about "few"? Can I treat "few" as same as "some" and "many" since it's also has a subjective definition? Then when I negate it it would be "none" correct? Thanks everyone!!! :D

Hey, guys! I'm giving it a go in September and I was wondering if anyone noticed any changes in any of the sections yesterday? Anyone feel there were any subtle or blatant changes in anything? From what I'm reading there were no crazy games this time. Maybe they'll lay off on the foolishness for a while?? I read that RC was insane. Any commentary there? How were the passages different? Was it just the subject matter making it hard to stick to reading for structure? Any commentary is welcomed. Good luck, guys! Now is the time to sit back with some frozen margaritas and chillax!

Hey guys,

Do you go back to review your wrong questions, such as one week later after the blinde review? or do you review them before the real LSAT test?

For those of you who have taken the test,

does the real bubble sheet look exactly like the ones at the end of the preptest booklet with one page?

Or is it like a 10 page booklet with instructions, combined with writing sample section, etc.

Hi everyone! I wrote the LSAT today but am almost 100% positive I'm going to rewrite. I found 7Sage quite late in my prep (heartbreaking as this is such an amazing resource) and I definitely want to follow one of schedules here, but does anyone know what to pursue for the purpose of retaking?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I have crippling allergies. My sinuses feel so heavy that I can hardly keep my head up. It even affects my vision. To make matters worse, I just ran out of my medication and have to wait until tomorrow to get it refilled. Obviously, doing trickier games when in this condition is probably not the best idea (I tried and failed miserably). You miss things that normally you would get, etc.

Is the move here just to wait until I have my meds? I'm itching to do more games and get even quicker with LR as I'm reading closer and selecting the correct answer with more ease each day.

It's frustrating that we're people and apparently aren't invincible.

I'm planning on writing my LSAT in February 2018. I have access to the Ultimate+ 7sage course until November 2018.

Once the June, September and December 2017 LSATs are released, will I have 7sage access to them? Specifically, will I be able to input my raw and BR scores in analytics (with video answers*) like the other practice tests, or is there an additional charge to do so?

*I understand that this will take time, and that's totally okay, I just want to know if I'll have access to them eventually (without paying extra).

Im considering upgrading my course from starter to ultimate plus, but would it be worth investing in ultimate plus, if you already own all the LSAC PT series books?

If not law, what would you be pursuing career wise?

hi everyone ,

just wanted to wish everyone the best of luck with the test tomorrow.

luckily ill be attending law school either way ( Canadian civil law schools don't require the lsat), but to those of you who are putting it all on the line , i hope you crush this thing.

I've been studying on and off since july of last year and I'm excited to hopefully put this test to bed for gd. looking to use my score for a transfer to a common law school.

again , best of luck

You've got this. I took it for the first time in February and I got my highest score after months and months of prep during school, while working a part time job. Trust me, you can do this. (3 Breathe, eat well before leaving, make sure you have everything you need, and power through all the sections. Kill it everytime. Once you get to the essay you're in the homestrech and before you know it, you're done!(/p)

Hi everyone,

I apologize in advance if this is somewhat repetitive but I'm looking for some guidance on what to do in my situation. I am hoping to sit for the September test in order to apply for the following year's fall admissions cycle. My diagnostic was a 158 with a -8 on LG. I am pretty much done with the CC and am about to start fool proofing LG as it is my worst section.

I was thinking of spending ~3 weeks on fool proofing LG using the LG bundle that I have access to. On that subject, what is the method that you would recommend for fool proofing games? I took a look at the bundle and the file is absolutely ginormous. I already have a spreadsheet that I plan on using for games that includes: PrepTest, difficulty, category, how many I got wrong, and the dates that I am going to attempt the game again (next day and week later). Is there a set number of games that I should be trying per day?

I am completely open to any suggestions that you all may have regarding time spent on LG before diving into the PT's.

Thanks!

So a little background information. I studied for 3 months prior to this past decembers LSAT, i used the bibles and i was grossly unprepared and didnt have a community or a mentor to confer with. I unwittingly took the december test and scored a 160 ,my diagnostic was a 148. I wasnt happy with this score bc i knew i could do much better. For the most part i procrastinated until around 1.5 months ago when i decided i was gonna start prepping again with the goal of taking the september test. Since then i have studied 25+ hr weeks along with my close to 55 hrs of work a week. I have seen much improvement and confidence in every aspect of the test and my methodology. I am through games 1-10 of foolproofing and plan on foolproofing for another 3.5 weeks . My question is, and i understand i am gonna get the generic " wait till you are ready" answer, but i am still asking what is your view on the benefits of taking the september test vs December. I am shooting for a t14 school and i know i can do it, i would say my average pt is around a 165-167. As far as i understand the admission process, the earlier i apply the less competetive i have to be in order to get a spot. So should i shoot for September? My methodology is sound as far as i can tell. My main issue was the games and RC and i am seeing major improvement in both areas. I am a little concerned because my current schedule will only allow for 20 PTs between finishing foolproofing and the test date. But on the other end i am worried to take december bc that will put me in the latter half of admissions. Any input?

It's been a while guys. As I have previously announced, I will be attending the University of Chicago for law school. I was looking at some of the syllabi for some previous classes and it seems that not all courses allow for typed exams and a lot of them require handwritten exams. Now I can only see as recent as 2012 so I don't know if that has changed but what seems to be the trend nationally on this?

I'm pretty sure law schools take the highest score out of the LSAT's taken, but would anyone know if this is true or how to find out? Does it depend on the school?

PM to ask questions :)

Hi all!

I'm about 40% completed with the core curriculum, and am already getting the hang of the easiest questions sets... should I start doing some harder questions from the question bank now or completely finish the CC first before going back and reviewing harder questions after I'm done?

Don't show weakness. You're ready. make sure to relax during the test if you feel yourself spazzing out. A little stress will keep you alert so don't panic if you feel your heart start to beat a little faster than normal. Fight or flight kicks in and you're going

to fight your ass off because you're no chump. youve been taking tests your whole life. It's nothing. Don't scramble when the proctor tells you to start. Take an extra second, breathe, and begin. Cool as ice. You've done this before.

Hey guys, so in reading LR question stems, I've become more attentive to the structure of the argument along side being extra careful with what is actually said. However, in assessing the arguments structure I've taken a teeny bit more time per question...I feel like this is because I attach equal importance to the content of the question.

My question is: in an effort to actually save time and not rush and miss questions, how much should I really try to understand a stems content? Should I focus less on content and more on structure? When I get lucky with LR and finish all on time, I score in the 170s where RC does most of the damage (timing is also an issue).

When I get shorted on time from LR, I score in the mid 160s....

So this advice could carry into my RC as well. I've begun to analyze structure too but I've made no adjustments in my reading of details. I am more accurate but I lose time.

I understand every question and question type, I'm literally just running out of time. I'm not being efficient. For example, Parallel question types are my favorite and I go through them quick because I know it just focuses on structure.

Wat to do?

Thanks again guys, I'm almost there, this is my final weakness and it really needs to be addressed. Last LSAT I took I had no timing issues on LR. I did relatively poorly but came to my answers using the same (although flawed at the time) methods WITHOUT really caring for argument structure.

are you studying to the last minute and showing up in your pajamas?
