I noticed that at the bottom of LG questions there are keywords... can we search for these keywords?

For example, I want to work on games that have the But not Both rule... and that is a keyword that is highlighted. Is it possible to search for that?

Hey everyone!

Decided to write in February again. Thought I was doing well with the BR method prior to writing in September. Managed to get down to about -4/5 per LR section (which is okay for my goal score) however I ended up losing several more points per LR section than expected on PT79.

Was hoping to get input on additional prep materials for this section? (I will continue to use the BR method in the meantime).

I have made a few posts of encouragement for those who took the exam and did much worse than their PT average. However, I feel like this has been so abnormal. In the past, I have met a lot of people who scored above their PT average. Do we think the test is getting harder?

Here's a TED talk that might change your perspective on the stress of studying for the LSAT, and even more importantly, the stress of writing the LSAT.

Hi guys,

So I purchased the kindle version of PT75 and it is terrible! The formatting is a bitch. And say hypothetically if someone were to convert it to pdf to print it for practice, the terrible formatting carries on into pdf (again purely hypothetical). Is it hypothetically possible to reformat it to look like the print version and what would the steps be? Also is there a place to purchase soft copies of the Preptests which are properly formatted? Are the nook, kobo or itunes versions any better?

Good morning my fellow 7sagers. Myself and several other Detroit area students have decided to form a study group that will meet on Tuesday and Thursday from 530p-:830p and Sunday 3:30-6:30. The location hasn't been decided as we are waiting to make it more convenient for all who wish to attend. If interested inbox me or drop a few lines below.

Proctors:

They have 3 proctors and they are very quiet throughout the whole process. They are not super familiar with the rules but you can tell that they have past experience as proctors for LSAT and are very very nice people.

Facilities:

Bathroom is very close to the classroom and is large enough to accommodate the test takers.

What kind of room:

Normal size classroom with AC on (Taiwan is still hot in September).

How many in the room:

They scheduled it 8*7, but about 30-40% of people didn't show up. So about 30 people in the room.

Desks:

Classroom-size desk and chair.

Left-handed accommodation:

Not sure.

Noise levels:

Quiet. At 9:30AM there were some noise because another test administered by ETC is happening downstairs. Didn't bother me that much.

Parking:

I walked to the test center, but, well, it's Taiwan. Why would you want to drive to the test center in Taiwan?

Time elapsed from arrival to test:

The test takers were split into two classrooms so the waiting time is not very long. I think we started before 9.

Irregularities or mishaps:

Didn't notice.

Other comments:

I like this test center a lot. Taipei in general is a relaxing place and the locals are super nice. There are also a lot of good food in this area, so I enjoyed staying there.

The classroom located in the International building, which is on the right side when you enter the main gate. You have to go all the way down the hall to the elevators. The location of the classrooms for LSAT won't be posted until the morning of the test, so don't worry.

And an very important notice: don't mistake National Taiwan University of Science and Technology from National Taipei University of Science and Technology. They are two different schools and located in different part of the city.

Would you take the test here again?

Yes, definitely. I also recommended this test center to my friends.

Date[s] of Exam[s]: September 25, 2016

Is it because of math?

How is math related to LG? :(

I took the September lsat and now my inbox is exploding with law schools waiving their application fees. Do they do this for everyone or are they actually looking at my GPA/score? I'm just curious if I should take these emails serious, or if it's just a marketing ploy.

I am not the best with logic reasoning. But, I am usually able to get the answer down to something, and E. Is E normally a correct choice in this section? And any tips of how to answer some LR questions? I have find the main conclusion down.

Just curious, I definitely want to take it as a PT before December

I'm ready to start Pacifico's lg strategy but I'm missing the excel sheet. Can anyone email it to me? Thank you!

Most LR questions have a missing assumption and I think that is where I am having trouble. Sometimes the assumptions are very fuzzy to me...it's like I have an idea of what is missing but I can't put my finger on it. It has been frustrating! But I am glad that I am figuring out what I am needing to work on.

What is your suggestion of improvement for identifying assumptions?

I couldn't find the answer to this in my searches but apologize if this is a repeat.

I am taking the Dec 2016 test and will apply with that score during this admissions cycle. If I do a Feb retake can I send that score in as an additional way to bolster my application? Or, do schools not accept additional information after their application deadlines are over?

Any insights would be much appreciated!

For some reason the phone/they hung up, they said "hello? hello?" so sounding like there was some phone issue...

Should I call them back? They just opened my account so they know who called them.

But I think there are multiple representatives, so even though I call them I may not call the person I reached before.

I wonder whether they will put some mark on me...like rude student :(

Am I thinking too much? :(

Hey guys,

I remember seeing someone say it isn't good to do PTs sequentially because when you get to the 70s, scores typically tend to drop significantly. I was thinking about doing 1 in the 60s, then 1 in the 70s, and then keep that same order throughout.

What do you guys think about this idea?

@david.busis If I am writing the same organization over and over again, do I keep writing out the full name or do I abbreviate after the first time. In this instance National Christian College Athletic Association could be shortened to NCCAA after the first appearance (it appears three times on my résumé). I thought you had something on this in the admissions starter but then I couldn't find it (which could mean I was mistaken or that I just missed the appropriate section the second time).

Hi guys, so I have decided to put off my LSAT date until next september so I can focus on my last semesters of school. However, I want to continue to do logic games so that I wont have to restart studying when I finish my degree (April). I have the cambridge packets and was wondering if it would be a good idea to spread them out between January - April. There are 152 games games which would mean that I do around 10 games a week. Would this be an efficient way to study? Maybe do 3 games, redo them the next day and repeat?

What are some ways you've used that were successful in increasing your LSAT score?

Hi,

Just wondering...

How many Games or PTs did you do to get -0~-2 range?

ow many times do you repeat doing the same games?

Thanks

Looking for some input. I have found that overwhelmingly the questions I mark for BR are questions that I am getting right while the questions I am missing are ones that I am not marking for BR. This seems to indicate to me that I am under confident on certain types of questions and over confident on others. Has anyone else experienced this and if so how did you work on getting your BR to better focus on your weaknesses? For example I marked 12 LR questions total for BR while taking PT 70 yesterday, of those 12 I only ended up getting 2 of them wrong during the test. I realize the benefit of using BR to reinforce concepts you know but are not confident on, but I would like it to also better reflect my weaknesses.

Hi, I was wondering if I could get a little help with this topic. I registered late for the LSAT (because of the september LSAT results), and I'm going to be submitting my request for accommodations, specifically extra time, and a quiet room by tomorrow. I have a diagnosed learning disability.

But the thing is, I'm canadian, so we don't have standardized tests prior to post-secondary education. Furthermore, I didn't have accommodations during my undergrad because it's largely writing/essay based rather than test based.

I didn't write my last LSAT with accommodations because I wasn't aware that they granted them.

If anyone has taken the LSAT with accommodations, could you please shed some light on the issue? I already know that I have to fill in the 3 forms that LSAC provides. I'm also going to be providing a detailed psych evaluation (30+ pages describing my LD). What other documents should I include to strengthen my case?

Thank you so much

What are some examples of how you start to prepare to study for the LSAT? Do you go over a lot of questions with the hopes of eventually getting them right? Do you use some of the strategies that you were taught from LSAT review courses? I'm trying to get some direction on the best way to start? Any suggestions?

Hi all, not sure if it is appropriate to ask this here, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

While finishing up my December LSAT registration, my checkout cart showed the additional $90 late fee. It's October 23rd today and the LSAC website says that late registration is on Oct. 25th. Am I missing something? I sent a message to LSAC and I'm planning on calling tomorrow, but I was wondering if anyone had the same problem and if anyone had any suggestions.
