Hey all. I took the Testmasters course in July for the September LSAT. (BTW, it raised my diag score over 20 points so I thought it was a great course). Yet, I knew that I wouldn't be ready to get the score that I was shooting for--high 160s to low 170s. I'm currently sitting in the mid to high 160s but I need more material since I've gone through a large portion of the Testmasters material. I know the concepts behind LR and I can usually figure why I got a question wrong on my own; I just want more questions to practice. Does anyone have any prep suggestions? I considered PowerScore but there stuff is mainly concepts and lessons and not so much just real LSAT questions. I'm taking around 2 or 3 prep tests a week and doing review and extra practice on days when I don't take tests. Anyone have any suggestions for prep material with just questions and answers for LR and Logic Games?

Hey everyone! I've been curious as to how people go about approaching their health, nutrition and time management while preparing for their exam. Obviously, the test is very difficult to master and is very demanding cognitively and, at times, physically, especially for those who are also still in school or work full/part time jobs.

Any tips on dieting/nutrition? (What kinds of foods are you eating to stay focused and improve mental cognition, how much water a day) Exercise? (More cardio as opposed to weightlifting, how many times a week, etc.) How much sleep every night, on average? Also, how do you break up your studying routines? (First thing in the morning, at night, large chunks of time vs. small amounts throughout the day). And while studying, tips to remain focused? (Study snacks, turning off phone, etc.).

I'm interested in what people suggest. Thanks for your help!

So as my title says, I've been having serious doubts about Law School. I'm a senior at a state university have a very poor GPA at 2.8, but I was diagnosed with an inner ear condition that caused me to go partially deaf in my right ear and gave me intense and constant vertigo my sophomore year and I suffered immensely because of that. Now that the condition is under control for the most part, I started studying in the middle of the summer and my diagnostic was a 155, and I have been PTing in the low to mid 160's. I'm thinking about taking the February LSAT and take a gap year before I apply. But I just kind of broke down this past weekend mentally and physically. Is it realistic to go to Law School with my GPA, even if I manage to do well my senior year? Has anyone experienced anything similar or has any sort of advice? Maybe I'm just really burnt out or maybe I just needed to vent haha. Thanks!

Hello, I'm wondering...

Is C2 in SuperprepII look like 50s-early 60s or late 60s to 70s?

People say there are differences between the range and I'm wondering where C2 is in...

Thank you

My first two years were not great (2.7 GPA), I spent too much time at my fraternity, showing up to class hungover/still drunk, and just did not take school as seriously as I should have. My GPA as since been rising (3.77 average). Will this come into play?

hey guys, how long does it take to BR and do you have a systematic approach that works best for you? I feel like i need to experiment a bit with my BR process. Thanks in advance!

In the University of Chicago application there is a section where it asks you to input the following and gives the following fields:

List the academic honors and awards, or other recognitions you have received.

Name of Award/Honor - - - - Date/Term Received - - - - - Description - - - - - - School

____________________ - - - - _________________ - - - - - _________ - - - - - - __________

I have some awards that are from athletics. Do I include them here? I feel like it depends on how you read the instruction sentence.

If so, some are from organizations not schools. Do I put the organization in that field or the school I was attending?

All of my awards are currently listed on my résumé. Do I list them here also? Do I remove the awards from my résumé?

Should I just email the admissions office at UChicago and ask?

Even simple things get complicated when it comes to law school.

I've been using the app "Elevate" for the past week, and I just wanted to share. It's already helped me with reading skills, and there's lots of cool exercises to do to train and improve cognitive skills. It's a free app (although there is a paid pro version), and it's available for apple and android. It's recommend you "train" everyday, which is less than 10 minutes.

LSAT prep can get really tiring, and even though Elevate is a learning/training app, it's actually quite fun!

Has anyone else used Elevate? If not, give it a try and let me know what you think!

I got PT 60s raw score around 165, but when I review PT 40s and 50s, I still got 159 and around. Really upset about that it. What will happen on PT 70s and on the real test?

Hey everyone!

This is my first post here. I'm planning to enroll with 7Sage imminently. Excited for the journey!

I have a copy of Mike Kim's Trainer and I was wondering if it's a good idea to incorporate it along with 7Sage's Core Curriculum.

Should I do one before the other instead? Does it even matter?

Additional info: I plan on taking the LSAT in September of next year

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I do not have an available printer that I can use without having to pay to print out certain problem sets at my school library. My biggest problem is the time limit still, finding the right answer has not been an issue for me. I was wondering if printing out the problems to do actual marking on the problem sheet would increase my time dramatically and also help me improve my overall score. As of now I am just doing using scratch paper to answer the questions. I am still learning and improving but I was just wondering if having an actual paper document in front of me to mark would would help me more to the point where it is worth printing it out. Thanks!

Did anybody else think that 77 was light-years easier than 76? Some people that I have talked to have said that 76 was easier but I do not see that at all. The games on 77 were much easier. Also, on 77 you had easier concepts like casual reasoning that were stressed

I am a little confused. I got a raw score of 80 on my latest LSAT. What scaled score does that translate to?

Will they start over the process even if we just want to ask additional accommodation?

Will they elliminate the accommodations they have granted?

Hey guys,

I am graduating from college in the Spring of 2017. My projected GPA will be around 3.7 or 3.69.

Does it make a difference for law school admissions to have a GPA of 3.7 as opposed to 3.69?

Thank you.

Hello all, I postponed writing the September LSAT because I didn't do any of the 60s and 70s. Now I am registered for the December lsat and i'm wondering if my game plan is strong: so full timed PT 60,62,64,66,68, and ALL of the 70s before the real test. As you can see i'm not doing all of the 60s (I don't have enough time) and I'm wondering skipping 5 of them (doing every other one) is an okay game plan? I might just do timed LG sections for the ones i'm skipping.... any suggestions?

So I've taken a look all around the forums, and watched the videos on the Memory Method, but I was just wondering how you guys think I should try and implement the Memory Method into my test-taking habits for the December LSAT? I have the freedom to study everyday, so whatever you guys suggest is cool, I just want to improve my RC a little bit, at least (I'm consistently at like -13).

Essentially, I want to know how often to practice, and how I should practice using the Memory Method?

Thank you guys, appreciate any help I can get!

I know a while back we had a "Hamilton Thread" so with the release of the 8th Harry Potter story, I figured I would see if there were other Potterhead/folks 7Sagers out there. So just like the Hamilton thread, this is just for fun!

Whos excited? I usually read a new HP book (cover to cover) the night it comes out, but not sure if I will do that tonight. I'm actually getting the book delivered to my house between midnight and 2am (Thanks Amazon Prime Now). Im am currently waiting for 9:45 so I can place the order.

I plan to see play(s) (hopefully) in April in London as a part of my celebratory I am finally done with the LSAT Europe trip.

So a place for us the Potter fans.

PS fun fact, I was a volunteer moderator (Host Wtch Fawkes) on Harry Potter.com from 2001-2003 helping to moderate the boards. I was over Gryffindor and the Sorting Hat threads. Hey... can I put that on my resume @david.busis haha It was post college :)

Are any of you guys in the older crowd?

As I am completing the core curriculum, we are required to obtain PT 39 and 40. These two tests are (for me) nearly unobtainable. The only access is to buy a book on amazon going for almost $140. I'm curious to how other Sager's work through this conundrum. Is there a better way to obtain these two tests without dishing out over a $100? If not, how did you get around this barrier? Perhaps am I looking in the wrong place for these two tests, or have other people just skipped PT 39 and 40 in the curriculum (which I am contemplating doing)? Any thoughts? I have found all other PT's I need, just not PT 39 and 40 :-(

I think I am confused with causal argument and conditionality.

I felt when causal argument has something to do with explanation, giving explanation/hypothesis in the conclusion. Then, there is some kind of bi conditional relationship between cause and effect. (if there is a cause there must be effect, if there is a effect, there must be cause, and there is no alternative explanation)

However, if there is a premise describing a causal relationship, would it be okay to think that there is bi conditional relationship between cause and effect? I feel like there is only one way relationship. Cause being the sufficient condition and Effect being the necessary condition.

Plz Comment. I am using this idea when I am doing questions. I am still unsure.

...without burn out?

If so, how??

Hello all,

I thought I'd share my difference between my timed and blind review score. I apologize if this has been brought up in previous discussion threads. I have finished most of the curriculum and plan on taking the test in June 2016.

I took PT 56 (Dec 2008) and my timed score was a 152 and my BR was a 173. To me, this is a huge difference and I honestly thought my BR was a fluke. I was not expecting to see that big of a jump. I was wondering if anyone else has been in my position and how they were able to close the gap between their timed and blind review scores. Any strategies/anecdotes would be helpful!

Also, what lessons should I take from these scores? Does the blind review mean it is possible for me to hit a 170+? And as a person working a full time job (I study after work and on weekends), is it possible to improve that quickly by June?

Thanks again for your advice and thoughts!

Hi,

I was just wondering...

Anyone had this combination before the break?

Would there always be the experiment section in the morning?

Thanks

One of my friend recommended this book to me. I just want a second opinion. Thanks!
