So as some of you may know from my previous post, I've started taking full-timed PT's.

Typically, when I drilled sections of the LSAT, I'd use the Blind Review method. I'd do this immediately after I completed the section.

However, upon starting PT's, I'm wondering if any of you have found it useful NOT to BR immediately after taking the test.

Personally, I've been scoring my PT's immediately after taking them, without BR. Then I walk away, come back the next day and retake the entire test.

Upon comparing both tests, I usually find there are certain questions I get wrong both times, and other questions I get wrong simply because of stupid mistakes; either I failed to identify a quantifier in the stimulus or some other random error.

I feel this then allows me to hone in on questions that are difficult for me while at the same time taking note of the types of random errors I am prone to making.

It has also given me a better feel for what ideal timing/pacing SHOULD feel like. Typically, you're a bit faster the second time because you have some familiarity with the logical inferences being made.

Just wondering if there are any thoughts on this method or if there is any other method that is commonly endorsed for reviewing full timed PT's.

Hi Everyone,

I see that there's a Conditional Reasoning/Introduction to Logic portion as part of the Logical Reasoning Curriculum here on 7Sage. It seems to be the same on my PowerScore Bible. However, I've recently been reviewing some of my notes and it seems as though it's a little more inclined towards the Logic Games section. Which has me wondering, is it necessary to be going through that chapter?

That chapter seems to come right after MSS/MP/MC. I was really hoping to continue understanding and approaching different question types before jumping into that. So... Is it necessary learn this material to approach some of the Weakening/Strengthening questions later on? Seems like I'm missing something here :/

Thanks for all your help!

I was doing PrepTest 29 - Section 3 - Game 4 and felt pretty good going through the board set up (split it into a couple game boards and had basically figured out the whole game -- or so I thought). However, it was only when I tried to do question 21 ("Complete list of classes for Gemena") that I realized that the answers available were not part of what my possible game boards allowed. I then realized that I had misunderstood a step (particularly the "Kate is the first female but not the first student to attend a class" rule.)

Naturally, I went back and redrew my game boards because I wasn't keeping strict time, but if I were to find myself in a situation similar to this on test day, what would be the best solution?

-Is it worth it to start the game from scratch at the expense of time?

-Am I better off going through the rules and trying to amend what I mistook?

-Or should I bite the bullet and keep going through the games, all the while keeping note of the mistake I've made?

I've been utilizing 7sage & LSAT Trainer like my life depends on it. I study about 5-6 hours a day... for the past month...

I'm trying for the September LSAT. Could anyone offer tips on how to recover from burn out and how to stay motivated? Thanks...

I work full time, and get home pretty tired. So far, I have studied in the evenings. But seems like, I can do better if I try studying in the morning. Any suggestions? What's your ideal time to study?

I have a fear that come actual test day I will be nervous and revert to my old habits and everything I have taught myself will disappear, could this be possible?

Once I complete the 7sage course, how often per week should I take a preptest?

This is a most strongly supported question from PT 38.

Mystery stories often feature a brilliant detective and the detective’s dull companion. Clues are presented in the story and the companion wrongly infers an inaccurate solution to the mystery using same clues that detective uses to deduce correct solution. Thus the author’s strategy of including dull companion gives readers a chance to solve the mystery while also diverting them from the correct solution.

Which one of the following is most strongly supported by the information above?

I chose A but the answer is C. I do not understand why A is not correct. Most mystery stories and mystery stories often seems like exactly the same thing to me.

(A) Most mystery stories feature a brilliant detective who solves the mystery presented in the story.

(C) Some mystery stories give readers enough clues to infer the correct solution to the mystery.

Help?

Once I complete the 7sage course, how often per eek should I take a preptest?

I've noticed that reading the powerscore books have not really motivated or helped me significantly. Also how many times have you read these books? Are they even advised anymore? Sure there are some general concepts that help but overall barely any improvement.

So I want to know if it would be terrible to just jump into the PT's. Do one a day and review that PT later in the evening. I have done this today and it seems almost more useful than nonstop reading. (I also have the availability of a super genius who helps me with all of the problems I can't get right, even after looking back) I am used to overworking myself so that is not an issue and I have plenty of time.

Study hard until the 9th. Then, take a nice break and reward yourself by either a) kicking the demon's asses during the invasions, b) playing the new demon hunter class or c) doing a bit of both.

You get iLvl700 gear from the invasions, so stock up! (Don't forget those Doomsayer achievements too, they go away after prepatch.)

Hey Guys,

I thought I'd share some cool information. So, as you all may know, this LSAT prep stuff can get pretty expensive. Well, I was doing some research, and I found a scholarship called the Franklin LSAT Prep Scholarship, offered through the University of Washington. Any one can apply from any school, weather you are an undergrad or post grads, particularly if you demonstrate financial need. All you need is your resume, transcript, and an essay.

I applied to the scholarship and I was awarded $500 dollars that very day to go towards a prep course. So, I would look into it and and do your research because there are other scholarships out there like this one.

I honestly have been thinking about writing a review about how amazing this pencil sharpener really is. But I was hesitant to do so. But I have been so happy with it that I had to share this with you all. Maybe someone will find this useful and make that change.

The History: For the past three months, I have been using only pencil to study for LSAT. This is because I want to get into the habit of working with them. I was a full believer in buying the 46 cents pencil-sharpener from Walmart. I hate wasting money on stupid things, and I definitely believed a pencil sharpener at the end of the day was just a pencil sharpener. The result: I hated sharpening pencils! They would often break, get stuck in the sharpener, and I literally had to buy a pack of 12 pencils per two weeks with a new sharpener because I think it stopped working as well as it did the first couple of days. It was so frustrating! Sometimes, that pencil sharpener would actually split my pencil in halves!!!!!!!! So, one day, while I was watching one of Nicole's video's one youtube, I think for reading comprehension, and she mentioned the Blackwing Palomino sharpener. I looked it up on amazon...$12 bucks!!!! I know in the scope of things its not much, but to me it seemed a bit excessive for just a pencil sharpener. So I basically continued trying to work and be frustrated with my cheapest Walmart sharpener. But one night, I realized enough was enough and I just put my values of being cheap on sharpener's aside and just bought it. :)

The Result 1 Month Later: It's honestly one of the most amazing pencil sharpener's that I have come across. Lets start with the fact that it has yet to break ANY of my pencils, lead or the whole pencil, while sharpening! Also, the pencil is sharpened to a perfect pointy way which makes writing with it, especially when doing games where you want you pencils to write crisply so your boards look neat and clean, so much more a reality. I have yet to buy another sharpener or another PENCIL PACK! It's so efficient in sharpening that I barely have to sharpen often and because it doesn't break my pencil's lead, I don't have to go buy as many pencils which in the end have saved me much more money than I did with the 46 cents Walmart sharpener.

Verdict: BUY IT!!!! lol I don't think I would buy it later in life where I will not be using pencils as much but right now when I am working 6-10 hours a day with a pencil, a good sharpener makes a difference! Plus one less thing that's frustrating me while I am studying for a very frustrating test. :)

Also, If you guys have any other cool suggestions please let me know :)

So I'm aware I'm not trying to get into a T-14 school. I have actually set my eyes on a rather low ranking regional school, where I intend to live after law school. My question is how much studying does it really take to get a 160. I've heard so many mixed reviews that just a few PT's makes breaking into the 60's rather easy. My cold diagnostic was a 152. Looking to hear other people's stories on how much and how long it took to start hitting the 60's. Please just don't say two months, like I want to know how many hours a day/week, what material, ect. Any advice helps.

Is there any way or anywhere to purchase a blank copy of this test without purchasing the whole Super Prep II? Or am I out of luck with that?

Hey guys last week I was redoing PTs in the 60's and getting scores around 167. The first time I did the 60's PT was during last october. I did PT 72 for the first time and ended up with a 154. Any advice?

I can't escape law, even when I'm browsing sites on my breaks. :(

I have some questions regarding letters of recommendations. I have yet to get/take an LSAT that I'm ready to submit with my application, so I am still aiming to take it one last time. And I am trying to, as the good people of 7sage have advised, "aim for a score, not a date." That being said, I'm hoping to apply during this cycle (which does sort of put me in a date--either September/December 2016, but we'll see). Should I still ask for LOR from professors? Would they feel offended if I don't end up applying this cycle? If I discuss this with my professors, might they see this as irresponsible/not worth their time? Outside of LSAT prep, I am trying (just beginning) to start with my applications.

Thank you, in advance.

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if anybody could tell me what transcripts I have to submit for the CAT. Do I have to send AP scores from high school that counted for college credit? What about high school classes that I took at a college level from local colleges? Anybody know?

Hey guys!

I'm new to this so bear with me please. I'm taking the September LSAT and I have no motivation to study. I know how serious it is and how important it is to do well, but I can't seem to get out of this rut. I take a class that meets twice a week and I love going; but when I'm not in the class, it's not the same for me.

Maybe I'm the type of person who needs to study with a buddy. I'm curious to hear if any of you ever dealt with something similar? Please let me know :)

I'm taking the test next June. The last 10 Actual packet ended at PT 71. This means that the next packet will be 72-81, with PT 81 being the February 2016 test. Will LSAC release 72-81 in a new 10 Actual packet before June 2016? Thanks.

I want to videotape myself taking PTs to get a better sense of my test taking strategy.

How do you guys do it?

Hey guys,

I am a big advocate of avoiding burnout by taking one day per week to do NOTHING LSAT related.

So what are some fun things you guys enjoy to do when you're not studying hard for the LSAT?

I'll start:

- I like going out to eat at some of my favorite restaurants with my friends. I think it is good to get away and spend some time with people who aren't taking the LSAT. Nothing like sharing a bunch of apps and eating a delicious meal with your friends!

- I like to play piano/guitar. Playing music for me immediately takes my mind off of the LSAT. I need to concentrate and my brain need str be completely focused on what I'm doing. Plus it's fun! Also, every Sunday on my LSAT day off, I perform music with my faith group at my church. I think it is important to have something fun to look forward to. That definitely helps! :D

- I like to run. Pretty boring, but it is nice to just listen my music and go for a run around the park by where I live. I always feel much less anxious and upbeat after a run.

- Last but not least, I like to watch Netflix, Hulu, HBOGo shows.

1. It would be a huge help to be able to enter multiple scores for the same PT. The BR feature kinda works but it takes a long time to plug in my answers and for many tests I have my BR answers in that spot! Would really help me see what questions I have missed multiple times and also let me see my progress.

Currently I am having to use incognito mode to score my test's as I don't want to erase my initial scores because I want to see what questions I am missing repeatedly. Analytics based on these scores would also be VERY telling in question type and what I am struggling with.

I know you both are super busy so maybe add this to spot #1243231 on the list. Haha

Thanks

Since @"Alex Divine" has inspired me to deviate from my planned study from Christmas through June, to instead plan for the September 2017 exam; I was wondering who has had experience juggling the study for a 173+ and keeping A's across the board in school.

I will be taking 3 credits in the spring semester Jan-May (I planned to make it a simple and easy June LSAT) and I will have all summer to study while being free from work throughout. But I have not planned--nor am I able to afford--to relax with low credits again during the fall semester that starts on August 15th, 2017. The September 23rd LSAT happens to come the weekend of the 5th week that school is in session. This 5th week has marked the point in time were most of the first exams have happened in the past. If history is any teacher, I surly will have a week full of hell.

I feel as if I would lose my mind trying to stay sane after 9 months of LSAT studying while simultaneously gearing up to take several exams with little sleep in the days prior to the test.

Has anyone dealt with this strain before? Any advice for this predicament? I can handle a lot of stress and I am not afraid to work hard, but I can only imagine the mush my brain would be trying to achieve at this level of perfection. There is a sharp difference between taking exams with no sleep stressed out (pretty easy) and being mentally and physically prepared to be at my sharpest game while writing the LSAT.

I was thinking session B classes maybe, but what are y'all's thoughts?
