Where does the definition of pen stop and the definition of a highlighter begin?

Are Pape Mate Flair pens considered pens if they are felt tipped, neon colors? Are Crayola thin markers pens or highlighters?

What's the smallest a highlighter tip can be and still be defined as an LSAT-legal highlighter?

I'm preparing to take the test in February, and I have the LSAC book that contains PTs 52-61. I have taken 52, 53, and 54, and I'm scoring very well. Is there a substantial difference between the PTs I've been taking and the most recent PTs? I'm trying to figure out if I should buy more of the recent PTs to take in preparation for the exam.

Hi all,

I had just finished the first "chapter" or LR, which goes all the way from MP to PSA and now into RC.

In previous posts, I had read that many had recommended to do a mini PT through out the way for LR when you are actually studying for RC.

But before just dive into books of problems, I had read also that I should not waste problems.

So! How do you have mini effective PTs on RC?

@twssmith?

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

Panda

Would be very difficult to meet recommender in person so I was wondering how I would go about asking for a LOR via email. Should I suggest anything for the recommender to write about?

Hey 7Sagers, I want to try something different for PT 79 (September 2016 LSAT). Instead of making videos, I will lead BR sessions.

(Videos will be made but won't be available until after the December LSAT!)

This is aimed squarely at students who are taking the December LSAT and are taking PT 79 as their final PT.

There will be 9 sessions total, 3 for each of LR 1, LR 2, and RC. Each session will focus on only one section of PT 79. All sessions will start at 7:30p EST and end at 10:30p. Multiple sessions are meant to accomodate people's various schedules and to reduce class size per session.

Next Session

All done!

Hey guys, first time poster here. I've been studying on and off for about 8 months. I've delayed taking the LSAT twice (never signed up) because I didn't feel like I was going to be ready. When I first started in February - May, I was only studying about once or twice a week, so not much. Then I was pretty good for 2 weeks and then immediately took 2 months off. I felt that the only way to kick my but into studying was to register. So I'm currently registered for December, but I am NO where close to where I want my score to be, so I am considering delaying it again, but keeping up the same studying intensity. I am not applying this cycle. I guess the only draw backs is the fact that this will have been the 3rd time I've delayed taking it and the Feb test is undisclosed.

opinions? Thanks!

when you start a section , full timed pt, or a set 20-30 question types, and you begun to answer the VERY FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD questions of that section, pt, or drill set, that your mind feels like it is jumping all over the place and scrambling, attention is lost, comprehension is poor, and you feel as if time is moving faster than it really is?

all of the above occurs with me and i usually get 2-3 of the first 5 questions wrong, especially in a timed individual LR section.

Anyone else experience this, any remedies?

TT

Well, this year's election was full of surprises. The biggest surprise for me was that my home state, Nevada, decided to legalize recreational marijuana. I found this to be very beneficial for me in my situation. No, not because I will be toking up on a daily basis (never really could get into that stuff), but because I have possession of paraphernalia charge on my record.

Prior to the election, I knew once it was time to apply I would have to explain this charge, in detail, for admission to any law school. It's really embarrassing to have on your record. Especially because the glass pipe I was caught with wasn't even mine (it was my friends, I was just letting him keep it in my car. I know, stupid decision. But hey, I was 18 at the time). With that, my question to the community is this: now that marijuana will be legal in my state, as of January 1st, what does that mean in terms of admissions? I can't help but feel vindicated by the outcome of this referenda, but I'm not sure how it will look in the eyes of admissions officers. Should I still disclose? If so, how do I explain this now (it seems kind of silly now that pot is legal, especially for such a minor offense)? I'm hoping that admissions will look at it and just laugh. It kind of reminds me of being charged with being a minor in possession of alcohol by consumption. Once your 21, the charge just looks silly (to me at least).

Anywho, what do y'all think? This is kind of one of those moral gray areas between law and ethics, and I'm having trouble seeing the right solution.

So I am ADHD but truthfully I have not been medicated in years, well since college. I am pretty positive I will have to go back on meds for law school... but anyway I digress... I am finding I am getting frustrated and bored during the sections and then I start rushing to finish and we all know how that can turn out. What are tips you have for that??? I am beginning to wonder if I should go back on medication to help study... but like most adhd folks I hate being on the meds because I feel zombified. How do you keep focused? Even if you are not ADHD I am willing to listen, because I am just drilling 35 minute sections right now... When I start taking tests at the first of the year... I really do not want to burn valuable tests... because of this. Anyway thoughts? and don't worry if you think I need to medicate I won't get offended because my mom and dad informed me I needed to get back on medication so I can nail the test anyway lol

PS miss chatting LSAT with you guys...

The Original 7 Sages showed us that sometimes, it takes a community of wisdom and experience to show us the way. So we are very happy to present:

OUR 50* Point Increase Story

Tuesday, November 15 at 8PM EST

Please join us for a very special evening with a panel discussion of high scorers

Josh Aldy @"Cant Get Right"

David Brown @"Accounts Playable"

Daniel Z. Nelson @danielznelson

and

Coco Zhang @CocoZhang

We will each be sharing our LSAT beginnings, our mistakes, our struggles, and most importantly of course, how we were each able to overcome our unique challenges. This test tends to appear to each individual with particular monstrosities. It's the same beast, but it is a complex one that will look a little different to each of us. The underlying thread is that we can all learn to master it. Our hope is that between the four of us, every participant will recognize a bit of themselves. If you can see yourself in our struggles, we hope you can see yourself in our ultimate successes. If we can do it, we believe you can too.

Q&A to follow the presentation, so bring questions!

So i'm taking the December test with a goal of 164-165+ and I really feel as though I'm ready. I sometimes take PT's and make such silly errors though. For example, I usually get the easy questions correct but on my most recent PT, i missed a 1/5 star question for logical reasoning and a 2/5 star question. I know those ratings aren't fully accurate but it's just that i'll sometimes miss that very "easy" question but then get the harder ones correct. Does this happen to anyone? Because upon review, its so obvious what the right answer is but once in a while, ill just get an easy one or two wrong and it bothers me a lot haha because I just feel like I could've gotten a higher score had I not missed those "easy" ones.

In terms of difficulty and subject matter, how has it changed over time?

Does modern RC have more difficult passages and more noticeable characteristics?

I know people say questions become more subtle and longer, but wonder whether content changed.

I learned of the 7Sage blind review method months before I started using it (from exploring the website). Boy, do I wish I had started using it earlier.

Here's the rundown: Yes, it absolutely *does* take longer to go through. I often take up to 5-8 hours to fully blind review my PTs and then review them with the correct answers. But this process forces you to confront your mistakes and misunderstandings and allows you to get to the root of what you don't understand. It sounds weird and you may not believe it, but I really do feel like I understand the material better thanks to this method, even if my scores aren't always immediately reflecting it. What's more, I finally feel like studying for the LSAT is enjoyable again. The problems and games feel a little less daunting now that the blind review method has taught me to be more patient with myself and to delve deeper.

I hope this helps, for those of you who are new to the process or to 7Sage!

Is PT C2 considered as representative of modern LSATs as the exams in the 70s are?

Hey---

I'm thinking to take some time off and concentrate on working...

I'm worried, if I leave from studying LSAT, will I forget about what I've learnt so far?

When I started to study again, how I can I catch up? Will I have to do the same work over again?

Should I keep studying for LSAT even for very short time per day? If I start to work full time, I'm sure it'll be really tired (especially the first few months) and not sure how much I can devote study...

I'd like to hear from someone who have experienced similar thing...leave&come back studying for LSAT.

How long did it take for you to catch up&what did you do?

Thank you!

Hey, I am just curious, cuz someone told me we have to do all the PrepTest at least twice before taking the exam, how many do you usually do?

Hi guys,

I'm about 2 weeks into the 7Sage curriculum and was wondering about time management and efficiency while studying. It's been taking me quite a bit longer to complete each lesson than the time estimated on the schedule, perhaps 1.25X - 1.5X the estimated time. I've been taking notes, taking the practice problems seriously, reviewing concepts that are unfamiliar, etc., which helps with learning, but it also adds to the time to complete each lesson. Is it fairly common in the community for studying to take longer than the estimated time to complete a lesson? Should I focus becoming more efficient and speed up my the studying to move along with the pace of the lessons or should I accept that learning takes time and simply budget more time?

Thanks for the help!

I score around 50-60 % on this section. What should I do for the next 19 days before the December test? I've tried the lsat trainer.. it didn't really do much for me. My main issue is timing. i always have to guess on an entire passage. Any tips? guidance is needed. Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

Need some advice/help on LR and RC! Over PTs and on individual sections, I'm scoring pretty inconsistently. On LR, I've been anywhere and everywhere between -1 to -6/section (big spread, I know), and on RC, the best I've ever scored is -3, but recently I scored -9 (oooff)! I'm not really sure why my scores are all over the place, but definitely can't take that risk on test day.

Any advice on how to score more consistently on these sections (and ideally, not consistently -9!)?

TIA!

7Sagers,

On Wednesday, November 16, at 9 pm EST, I’ll do a round of live lightning consultations.

What’s a lightning consultation? Basically, I’ll try to be as helpful as I can in five minutes. We might brainstorm personal statement topics, strategize about addenda, or discuss LORs.

If you want a free five-minute consultation about your law school application, I’ll need you to post a few things in the comments section:

I’ll get through as many people as I can in one hour, working in a mostly random order. Please don’t post to this thread if you can’t show up for the consultation. If you do show up, test your microphone beforehand. Make sure you have a strong connection to the internet, and that you can speak and be heard on GoToMeeting. If your microphone isn’t working, I’ll have to skip you.

I am planning to supplement my pre-December PTs (76, 77, 78 and 79) with another 6-8 PT's with that have -13 or -14 curves. Basically I'm looking for a "hell week" list of PTs. Thusfar, I've got:

PT 65, Dec. 2011 (-13)

PT 59, Dec. 2009 (-13)

I've been studying LSAT for a year..FULL TIME (60-70 hours per week). Yep. A YEAR.

I've rigorously studied every PT from 1-59 and done more than half of 60s. But I am not still hitting 170+...

The only PTs I got 170+ on are 40s... I have to apply this cycle and December and Feb are the only changes left for me and I am still in 165-168 range.

Anyone in my situation?

Hi guys. Looking for some friendly advice.

I've studied off and on for about a year now. My last time studying was about 5 months ago. I am 100% committed to writing and plan on taking the June LSAT.

I've gone through most of the curriculum with 7sage. I still have a bit more Reading Comprehension and I haven't really touched Logic Games yet.

How should I go about starting to study again?

Should I start with Reading Comprehension and then move to Logic Games and end with reviewing Logical Reasoning? I am planning to go over all of the 7sage material again.

I am working 2 jobs right now - about 50 hours a week - so time is precious. I am studying a couple hours a night during the week and spending more time on the weekends studying.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

So my LR is pretty decent, LG is definitely one of my strongest sections, and my reading comp score is really quite sad. I think my best bet before the December exam is to nail down my LR and LG as best as I can so I really want to practice the hardest questions of all time. Any recommendations of which logic games to focus on and maybe even some tough LR questions?
