Hey guys, so I had been struggling with finishing sections on time until I saw one of JY's videos of one of his students doing an entire LR section. I saw her reading the stimuli and if it didn't make sense at first, she would waste no time, circle it, and move on to the next question. This strategy has been great for me. I skip ones i don't know now and come back to them during "round 2" once I finish answering all the questions. My problem is that every time i take a PT, i usually struggle either finishing RC on time or LG on time... The time usually ends and i have 2-3 questions i don't get to finish answering. SO my question is, what do you guys do to improve your timing on those sections? Is skipping recommended on RC and LG? I'd love to hear back from you guys. Thanks.

Hey guys,

So as I'm looking at my LSAC photo, there's a small white gap between the picture and the border, so my picture is not 2x2 but it's very close - are they going to be anal about this or is it fine?

I've tried taking so many pictures and they all have the same issue.

Please help!

Hi Folks,

I have been studying for the LSAT for roughly a year now (on and off for first 8 months, but full-time in these last 4) mainly utilizing 7Sage's curriculum, although I have also done the Trainer and PowerScore Bibles. In this time, I went from a diagnostic score of 161 to about 179 at my peak (PT56) and today I got 167 (PT78). Lately, my scores average has fallen by about 6 points from 173 to 167 in the PT 70s. My average scores for each section are (LR: -3.3 / LG: -2.3 / RC: -3.7).

I am pretty disheartened by this decrease as I originally thought I was really prepared. Seeing as how the breakdown of my sections also seems to be similar across the board, I think I may be hitting my plateau. Is 170 impossible for me by September? What can I do now that I am nearly running out of materials and recent PTs to take?

One of my main issues I find is that I almost always have more questions wrong than I mark for BR. This feels even worse because I don't even know that I am missing something. Does anyone have any tips for the final stretch?

(I have attached a screenshot of my analytics. Please disregard the BR line, because I use a different account for that. My BR is always about 5 points above PT score). http://imgur.com/a/vfLz0

Starting 7sage LSAT prep has shown me that I need to go to the basics and learn grammar properly. English is my second language and I speak it fluently but, my reading skills definitely need an upgrade. Just a thought

I have the Cambridge games packet. What would be the best way for me to use them for a month of logic games only. Should I just go through them one by one or should I mix them. Let me know what you think.

Hi, jsut wondering...

If conditional statements include "probably" or prediction, can we make it contrapositive?

Eg...A→B,

prob not A→Prob not B,

Contrapositive: Prob B→Prob A. Is this allowed? Can we call this as illegal reversal of the original A→B?

Thank you

I began studying for the LSAT using 7sage late July. My diagnostic score was 150. Since then, I have scored 152, then 157, then 154, then 157 again. I have not finished the core curriculum though. I am consistently my lowest score in Logic Games, getting about ten questions right. I was thinking about doing a logic game intensive and just focusing the month of September on Logic Games and foolproofing. Do you think that will be beneficial?

I am taking the test in December and am aiming for a 165. Based on current trends, do you think that score is possible within the timefram?

Have you guys seen this? The project will be completed by March! http://www.wbur.org/bostonomix/2016/08/30/harvard-law-digitized-case-law

$7.00 for a box of 36.

What exactly is this phenomenon everyone keeps talking about? Is it just taking a test that isn't under test conditions?

hey everyone, I have one month left and I am scoring between 146-155 which is extremely low. I have high GPA a (3.8) and good references and it is so frustrating that this one stupid test is getting in the way of my dream of law school. Do you have any tips on how I can improve. I have been studying for 2 months (10 hrs per week) I have now been studying 4-5 hrs per day.

If I could at least bump my score to 158 I know I would have a fighting chance with a good GPA. Right now RC is like 14-16 Arguments are :15 correct and Logic Games are my worst with about 14-16.

Any tips, I feel like I review my answers but when new test comes maybe its anxiety but its like I make the same mistakes.

Its starting to make me really depressed but I keep trying not to loose hope. Any suggestions will help.

Thanks,

I have recently completed the core curriculum and the first PT out, I have scored a raw/timed score of 165. Now, I also BR-ed at 170. I want to know how I should be thinking through my scores, if that question makes sense? So, from B.R. I definitely know that timing is an issue (I lost the bulk of my points due to my inability to complete sections) (how do I improve timing? More timed PT's? Because I am a re-taker, I only have ~13 fresh PT's left)...I want to score at 170+, particularly because I am a nervous test taker. I don't know if this is answerable, but what do you guys think about my progress? How should I be studying now, as I'm entering the next stage of PT-ing?

Thank you.

Hey guys,

This is going to sound a little strange but bear with me. So I was doing Pt's in the 50's and 60's and was getting around 160 - 165 generally. As soon as I hit the late 60's and early 70's my score suddenly jumped to 170 - 172.

Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else! And is it because of becoming better through practice*hopes very hard* or because the Pt's became slightly different.

It is rather strange to worried over a score increase but... O.o

How does someone write a quality personal statement without a compelling experience to write about? I am considering hiring help to come up with ideas for the personal statement and to write it because I have no idea what to write about!

I plan on taking the LSAT in September. My target score is 162 or over.

Here's a breakdown of what I've been PTing:

159

160

154

161

163

Should I postpone? Or is it likely for me to hit my target by Sept?

Hello everyone, I know this may sound like an odd question but I have never taken the LSAT. If you were to purchase one of the LSACS booklets, lets say test number 70. Does that booklet represent the exact same size of page and font that the real test looks like?

I am signed up to take the September and December LSATs and only about half way through the core curriculum. I'm pretty comfortable with understanding the lessons and more so have timing issues in so far as getting through the sections. On average I'm scoring just over 150 and I don't think the next month is going to get me to my goal of a 165 or higher so I'm most likely going to take the December exam as well, short of a miracle. I'm wondering if anybody has an opinion about whether it's better to complete the core curriculum or work on timing with the prep tests first? Cheers!

I've seen a number of people posting about postponing. Now that we're 1 month out until September, I'm curious who is actually still planning on taking the test. For those of you that are, what is your study plan over the next 4 weeks?

Do we have the option to submit a reference or referral list with our applications, aside from those writing letters of recommendations? I realize we 'can' submit additional attachments, but I wonder has anyone done this?

Recently I have been scoring in the low-to-mid 160's. However I just scored a 159 on practice test 53 and it was mainly to the fact that I had - 11 on the logic games (usually my best section). Granted, I just finished the practice test about 5 minutes ago and it is pretty late but I'm pretty panicked

So I am hitting 3-5 points below where I want to be. I have registered for September, and I am not opposed to retaking in December. Is it bad to retake? I just don't really see the point of postponing, seeing as the refund won't be worth it. Am I hurting anything by taking it now, if I am okay with a retake?

PT's 75-77 are $6.37 and appears to be big discounts on "The Official" Volume PT books (not sure of previous discount prices on the books)

After intensive LG drilling of PT1-35, I was hoping to enter my answers to provide insight on my strengths/weaknesses in Game types.

The option for clicking to only score 1 section is no longer available but JY shares in the tutorial that analytic tool as an option - a powerful tool during drilling sections.

Is there another way to access this type of analytics or work-around?

Thanks:)

Hey Guys,

Does anybody know where I upload my personal statement on the LSAC website? I do not see anything for personal statements. Anybody that can help?

Thanks!

Hey Guys,

Starting at about what number are the preptests now considered the "new" tests?

Thanks!
