Looking for people to study LSAT at Cleveland state university in Ohio I got a 156 on last test

Hi,

Wondering whether anyone has encountered this in their application cycle and could offer some guidance. Is it preferable that we list all employment history in the application regardless whether its in our resume or not? Or should it only mirror what we include in our resume? I've held many jobs through undergrad and after graduating but some (ie. working as a bookseller in barnes and noble) may not be relevant to include? Or are they?

Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

I am studying for the June LSAT and have tried several methods of studying, but cannot seem to break my score. I have tried self study, and even took a Kaplan course, but neither have worked. If you are interested in study groups or think you would be able to provide some tips on things that you have done and worked, please let me know!

Thank you!

What are they, and where can I get a hold of them?

If this means 2 more fresh prep tests, it's good news !

I live in Columbus, Indiana (near-ish Bloomington and about two hours away from Cincinnati). Anyone with any test center experiences around this area, please fill me in! Area in question extends to Indianapolis and around that region as well or even as far as Northern Indiana near Notre Dame. I'm willing to travel far for a center I trust to be solid.

Could someone clarify the best way to tell the difference between weakening questions where the argument is a simple argument and where the argument involves causation? Is it that the causation argument involves a change in a phenomenon? Does this always hold true? I guess anyway that in each instance, you are still attacking the "support," as providing an alternative explanation for a causation is not attacking the hypothesis or phenomenon, but it would still be helpful to know when to pull out my causation logic skills.

Hi 7Sagers,

I'm taking the June 2016 LSAT. I'm currently PT'ing in the high 160s, and BR'ing in the mid-high 170s. Any additional study tips on how I can push into the 170s (preferably mid 170s)?

A little more background:

I started studying for the LSAT in June 2015 with 151 diagnostic using only the LSAT Trainer and LG Bible. Took the Oct 2015 LSAT even though I didn't feel ready and got 162. After the Oct LSAT, I went through the 7sage curriculum and just started PT'ing again this week.

My plan is to do 2 PT's and blind reviews a week until the June LSAT. Unlike most test-takers, I'm stronger on Reading Comp than Logic Games. I've fool-proofed LG from PT 1-26 but don't feel like I have attained mastery of the games. I get anywhere between 3-6 questions wrong on a LG section (I think I get nervous on LG because I know I need a -0 to get to 170+). I plan on fool-proofing every game that I struggle on as I keep taking PT's. I took PT 36 and 37 this week and I averaged about -2 on RC and -3 on LR. The questions I get wrong on LR are the most difficult ones.

Also, I've used up almost all the PT's in the 60s and early 70s from studying for the Oct 2015 LSAT (bad, I know; but, remember, this was before I was on 7sage). But I should have enough PT's to compensate.

Any advice/tips is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I purchased this printer by recommendation of someone here in the 7 Sage family. I don't recall who recommended the printer but can someone who has purchased replacement toners online provide a link? I've purchased two from two different sites. One did not fit even though it is supposed to be compatible. The other fits but there is a black "dust" residue of ink inside the printer after each print. There's also a clicking or grinding noise that sounds like something isn't fitting properly. I'd rather not deal with these issues for the next purchase. I paid around $25-$28 for them. TIA

Hello all,

Just had a couple questions regarding the new photo requirements for the June 2016 examination and beyond. Do you guys know if we can simply upload a camera phone picture as the ID for our online profile? Does the photo need to be in color when we print our admission ticket? Finally, have you guys had experience obtaining a digital copy of a passport style photo from drugstores?

Thanks

Hey Everyone,

What is the usual effect of taking a brief gap in studying? I've been planning since mid-December to take the June LSAT, re-did the curriculum and over the span of 15 PTs I brought my average from low 160s to 166-168 with a few low 170s mixed in. I have a job and I'm finishing undergrad in May, so work is piling on right now.

Really want to avoid the burnout that comes trying to take on too much all at once.

My last 2 PTs have dipped to 165, 165, my lowest in like 8 or so PTs. I'm entering the mid-high 50s in PTs so I know it's starting to become crunch time.

My plan is to take the next week off from LSAT and finish up my papers/classwork obligations so I can just hand those in and get back to full LSAT dedication. Will this week gap be detrimental to my progress or have people found success with this before?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I just went to register for the June LSAT and to my surprise, all the test centers near me are now full. The closest one is about 2 hours away. I just don't like the idea that I would have to road trip on the morning of the LSAT, or go to that city the day before and stay overnight (more $$ I'll have to spend). Also being in a place that is so unfamiliar to me sounds way too intimidating. So now I'm debating if I should just suck it up and sign up for that center or wait for September.

I took my first LSAT in February and got a 153. I was PT'ing at 156 average. February test sucks because they don't release the test but I'm pretty sure the reading comp was my biggest weakness and I probably messed up a game. Anyways, my goal is 160-163, which would be good enough to get me where I want to go. So for one thing, am I being unrealistic aiming for a 10 point jump in 3 months while working full-time?

I know everyone on this site is all for "take as much time as possible" but my concern for September is that I'll burn out or lose focus. At this point I'm not sure where I would begin if I wrote in September, like would I start studying the foundation of LSAT again or keep doing practice test/sections.

I'm just confused, and very indecisive, so I'd like to hear anyone's opinion or experience if you've dealt with something like this before.

Thanks!!

First post here, and was wondering about what the typical theory is behind discounting a PT score based on having previously seen a LR question in prep materials, or having done a LG before. I'm not necessarily referring to the kind of top-of-mind awareness to where you could recall the answer to a question after the stimulus, but just having a vague recelalection of the theme. My initial thought on this was that I see dozens of different LGs a week and more than a hundred LRs a week, and therefore the effect is likely negligible. Curious to here others thoughts on this and how it could skew performance analysis.

I work a full-time job and life has a habit of getting in the way of my law school dreams. I've been doing this program regularly since last October give or take and have had a series of setbacks. Right now I still have about 25% of the curriculum left to cover before the June LSAT. I was blowing though the curriculum pretty quickly until I hit the games section.

A one hour problem set lesson takes me 2-3 hours, usually. I just legitimately suck at games and see very little improvement with them, that is about as honest as I can be. I study about 3-4 hours a night, 4-5 on the weekends. BR'ing a game set is a huge commitment for me. It is depressing to watch what minimal progression a full night of studying does, but to know I have so much more to progress through honestly makes me rage quit my study sessions.

So, I need some advice. For reasons I don't feel like disclosing, I have to be in law school by fall of 2017.. I want to take the June LSAT and games are the only thing I have left. Should I just start doing prep tests and reviewing the rest of the curriculum in my off time? What other courses of actions would some veterans or others who have been in my shoes recommend?

Also one last question. For those of you that may have completed the program like I have been having to do (kind of spread out over a longer period) what was your strategy for condensing and reviewing the material you were rusty on? I know it all builds on each other but I know I have definitely forgotten some stuff. I appreciate any suggestions you have, thank you.

Hi everyone,

I plan on taking the LSAT (for the third time) this June; I purchased the starter package and am currently going through the lessons. I was wondering if you all would recommend taking practice tests before fully completing the core curriculum? Should I start practicing the LR sections when I begin the Introduction to Reading Comprehension lesson? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Let's hear some good stories.

When I visited one school that I was accepted at, I made a joke to the director of admissions(Emory law graduate), about Golden Gate law school. Her response (in a cold voice, with a harsh stare): "I have a lot of friends and colleagues who went to GGU..."

.

I know the fool-proof method for logic games is vaunted around here. But I might be the exceptional fool. See, I've done every game from PTs 1-57, most of them several times, and I still cannot consistently get below -4 on new games sections. Sometimes I even get the old games wrong, too. I've been banging my head against this wall since about October, and I just can't learn the damn things! Should I keep drilling and hope for a breakthrough? I thought I had one a few weeks back but then I slid back down to -4 or -5. Maybe I should just put the -0 goal out of my mind and accept that I might have a plateau.

Does law school look at average lsat scores if I took more than one test? I knew that ABA changed the rules to only evaluating highest scores, and my tutor didn't say anything about average scores, so even though I didn't do well in this Feb test, I still didn't cancel my grades since it's my first time. But now I heard my friends all cancelled their grades and said they'll look at average. OMG! and I googled it but people's views differ. Can anyone give me a definite answer? I'm super worried.... Thanks!!

So I just got to parallel questions in the curriculum, and as I begin working through some of these and time is becoming a more challenging factor than the actual questions; I'm finding myself really wanting to see some questions hammered out in real time. I understand when to eliminate an answer choice and move on without reading further, I just feel like I need a more comprehensive, holistic vision of what this looks like over the course of a section. I know these are skills which will come more into play post curriculum during PT/BR phase, and I know this is something which each individual will have to develop individually for their own strengths and weaknesses; but I still think I would benefit a lot from a demonstration in the curriculum. Any chance of getting a lesson just showing @"J.Y. Ping" destroying an LR section? And maybe not even straight up timed, but just with explanations which would mirror our thought process (ideally) under timed conditions- kind of a culmination of everything coming together. Maybe using the diagnostic test? I think this could be a great tool to really demonstrate the full importance of time management strategy and an example to show us an ideal to strive towards. Does that make sense to anyone else? Plus, I just think it would be fun to really watch the master at work.

Of course, he said that even though he repeatedly pawed her it wasn't actually sexual harassment. Yeah, right, in your mind it was okay.

Proctors: Two proctors. Very professional.

Facilities: Main building of the campus (I believe). Spacious room. Clean bathrooms.

What kind of room: Classroom/programming room.

How many in the room: Probably around 30 - 40.

Desks: Huge. They were long tables and everyone was spaced pretty far apart because there weren't many students. Lots of space to really lay all your stuff out.

Left-handed accommodation: N/A

Noise levels: Very low.

Parking: Huge parking lot right next to the building.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: An hour maybe.

Irregularities or mishaps: N/A

Other comments: Great place to take the exam, if not only for the large desk space lol.

Would you take the test here again? Yes.

Date[s] of Exam[s]: December 2015

So I started doing my PTs after finishing the core curriculum and while I initially saw some improvement (started with my diagnostic at 152, then started getting high 150s now low 160s), I don't feel like I'm really improving. In fact, while before I wasn't running into time issues and was able to finish on time for the LR and Reading Sections, I'm now finding it harder to finish those sections on time. The games is the one section that is consistently getting better but that's just about it. I'm averaging somewhere around -11 to -15 total in LR and around -5 in Reading

Any suggestions? I'm wondering how much I should expect to be improving with each test. My goal is for a 172/173 but if I'm in the low 160s now with a high score of 169 (untimed though) I'm worried that between now and the June test I won't be able to reach my goal. So far I have done 6 timed PTs besides my diagnostic and 1 untimed. My Blind Review is in the high 170s.

Any input is appreciated.

Hey all,

Did anyone else sign up for the meet and greet happening this Friday in Vancouver, BC? By stroke of luck I'm traveling to Van from the interior in order to go to see a couple DJs that night. Decided to stay Friday night too in order to meet some of you guys and geek out about 7sage/the lsat/law school!

Should be fun!

I am currently enrolled in an upcoming Blueprint course starting April 6, taking the test in June. I have saved up enough money to quit working for the next three months so apart from school I'll be as free as I can be. I'm wondering if there is anybody out there that can share their experience of pairing these two services. Is it really necessary to purchase the Ultimate+ 7Sage package in this situation? If not then which package in your opinion will supplement my Blueprint course best (starter)?.

For the modules like the strengthen and weaken question types, should I power my way through all of the problem sets I have available or should I take a more gradual approach (one to two sets per q-type per day)?

I have found the one star and two star questions to be very easy but the three star are very challenging and the four star seem out of my league entirely. Just curious if there is an ideal method to go through them. Thank you in advance.
