I was wondering if being an international applicant helps? I see that being URM helps a lot, but what about internationals?

Hi guys,

So i decided to study until i average 170 on lsat. Do you think anybody can do this with hard work and dedication? Or do you believe some people are not made to hit 170?

I only have 2 months until the test date. So I was wondering which course would be most beneficial to take? Would I have enough time to go through the LSAT Ultimate (the most recommended) in time.

I was wondering if there was a time limit to how long we had access to the pdf disclosed version of the exam that LSAC sent to our accounts if we took the exam on June 2016. Is there also a limit to how long we have access to the score report?

I was wondering what exactly it is that we need to bring with us on the day of the test.

I heard from some people that I need two forms of id? is that true because all I have is my drivers license

I find myself doing worse on the sections after the 15 minute break. I feel like I get "out of my zone" after going hard on the first 3 sections. Anyone have any strategies to combat this?

My last PTs are confusing me. They have been 167, 156, 161, 164, 165. I'm shooting for 168 or 169. So the 156 was due to me rushing through the exam, I've been trying to figure out how to pace myself and finally got it with this last PT 167. When I take the appropriate time on each question and read well on reading comp I do better. I employed this strategy and got the 167 on PT 74. All of these recent PTs have been in the 70s. I'm just nervous if that 167 was luck... It didn't feel like it because I really focusing and taking the time to catch small details but with my variation in scores I'm nervous coming up on the September test.

I was wondering what thoughts or ideas you guys and gals have on prepping during the last week before the actual LSAT. Should I do more prep tests and blind review them slowly, just do timed sections? Would like to hear some strategies or ideas you have.

Thanks

I almost finished the LR part of the CC. I wonder what materials you guys use for RC.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I just took a PT today. I debated not taking it because I was super tired and I've just been not channeling positive LSAT energy these past few days. Still, I told myself I could do it and took it.

I was pretty happy because I thought I had been doing well, applying my processes and whatnot. Then I graded it and was floored: -6 in RC, -6 in LR1, and -4 in LG. I haven't seen such consistent bombing in a long time -- usually it just requires warm up and MAYBE I'll just rank one section, but rarely 3 in a row. What kills me is that I did much worse on this PT than I did 2/3 months ago, meaning somehow my score indicates my reasoning ability is getting worse which I know logically doesn't make sense but still feels that way.

Just needed to vent because I'm trying not to feel so distraught. I've been doing a good job of maintaining a positive mindset but my positivity is wearing out and now I'm feeling incredibly anxious.

Hey Guys,

This may seem like a stupid question but.... I have always made copies of logic games when they were 1 page each, and I constantly redid them until the inferences stuck in my head as JY says.

Now, I am at 2 page logic games, and I am wondering the best way to copy them. Do you double side them? Or do you just do 2 separate pages?

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

Hey Guys,

I've officially decided to take the December LSAT instead of the September LSAT. I experienced heavy burnout and took the last 2 weeks easy and in order to maximize my score I know I need to take it later.

My question is: How does one use the 7Sage starter package? Do you have any recommendations on how to use the videos to guide my studying. How many hours should I watch per day? Should I supplement the videos I watch with question sets not included in the quizzes? Do you recommend spending a couple days on a certain section?

I guess what I'm aiming for is to use the actual videos to build an even stronger foundation, however I want to finish that with enough time for me to do just PTs for a solid 3 weeks before the December 3rd exam date.

All in all: How did you use 7Sage to structure your learning? Thanks!

so hopefully this is a temporary loss of clarity, but I can't quite articulate the difference. In grouping games it seems that both A-->/B and A(--)/B can both be represented visually on a gameboard stacked in a box with a slash no? As in, if A is in a group then B is not; compared to A and B cannot both be in the same group.

Someone get my back!

Hey Guys,

I submitted my transcripts, and I saw that they have degree GPA and normal GPA. Which one do law schools primarily look at? Does degree GPA really matter?

Hey,

I am having trouble paraphrasing/anticipating the flaw in flaw/descriptive weakening questions that do not possess the typical or cookie cutter flaws.

I read the stimulus, isolate conclusion and premises, and yet i cannot pin point what is exactly wrong with the stimulus.

Again, this is more so for the questions that do not fall under the typical flaws we see time and time again.

I should note, however, that once i get into the answer choices, i seem to do a good in applying the 2 step flaw test which leaves me to getting the answer choice correct or at the minimum , i am left with two possible AC's.

Now with respect to paraphrasing or anticipating the flaw, Is this something that some of you experience as well, or is it just me?

also, do a lot of you simply rely on the 2 step test for flaws or are you paraphrasing/ anticipating the answer choice most of the time?

thank you.

Hey! Does anyone have a list of outlier logic games and LR questions from PT 60-78? For those writing in September but don't have the time to go through all those PTs. I'm still unsure if I'm taking the September test. Time is ticking :( I'm planning to take PT 72 this saturday before I make a decision. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to get different ideas of how I can possibly go about reviewing LR questions that I have done during a timed test that I was either unsure about or I got wrong. Here are a couple of ideas I have.

1. Re-do a unmarked copy of the stimulus. Mark premise and conclusion. And if possible write down the pre-phrase of the anticipated answer.

2. Write for each answer choice why you think it is wrong/right.

3. Watch JY's video. And compare how he solved it vs. how I solved it.

4. Write down if either system was better or what you learned from the video.

5. Write down how you would do it differently in the future to avoid the same mistake. I think this is key.

Feel free to add recommendations and let me know how all of you guys do it! Or what works and what does not work :DDDD

I think it is hard for new PTs, but what about those PTs I have already done?

Should I still take time, like 2 or 3 days for re-do the questions and review them?

And, if I want to re-do the questions, should I just re-do the ones I missed or all questionns includin the ones I got correctly before?

Thanks,

WE ARE UNDER 10 DAYS TO GO UNTIL SEPTEMBER TEST DAY. HAIR IS ON FIRE.

One of my favorite things about 7sage is the analytics section for viewing trends and trying to understand the data of the test and the group of PTs as a whole for each individual 7sager.. But I was wondering if there were analytics or a way to have some indication as to what to expect from upcoming tests. As an example, I suppose it could be that, historically, the hardest tests are December tests, or that an experimental section question makes a real test appearance after (x) amount of tests, or that a test with a lenient curve is followed by an easier test with a stricter curve. Has anyone looked into this? Are there any broad analytics that can give us an indication as to what we should expect? Any advantage is one worth pursuing as far as I'm concerned!

Thanks for your insight,

James

Hello,

When you draw sub-game board or mini game board for questions that add new rules, do you draw "X cannot be here" or "X must be here" rule each time? Or do you just refer to the original board for those rules?

Thanks

Hi guys, I was helping my friend out with conditional logic today because I thought I had a grasp on the material but it turns out I dont....

So there was a statement from one of his textbooks he asked me to help him out with and I got it wrong.

Dmitry might play volleyball or squash, but he cant play both.

(edit meant to say might play not, might can)

So I thought great this is a bi-conditional because I see or but not both.

So I made it into: (~V (---) S) & (V (---) ~S),

But it turns out in his textbook the answer was (S -> ~V) & (V -> ~S).

So is this a different way of showing the same relationship, if so do you prefer one method over the other?

I have just upgraded to ultimate+ from ultimate for the sake of newer PT explanations. I was almost finished with my core curriculum in ultimate account and now the progress bar rolled back.......

Lost some patience/confidence when I logged in again. Wish there could be a function to let us choose the lower account material only.

Hopefully there is enough time for Dec Lsat.

Just wondering out of pure curiousity haha I chose to take it at Vanderbilt because of great reviews and because Nashville is awesome
