feeling pretty uncertain about today's test, especially on two sections. i did OK first time and was confident about 3 sections instead of 2...

Finally. Thank you based logic games lessons.

And other lessons but seriously... I was posting here a month ago fretting about how bad my logic games score was (averaging -12). I'm now averaging (-3).

GAH! Really happy right now.

I don't see how "H will go before G if and only if H is after F" translates to

G-H-F as one of the two possibilities.

(The second one was: F-H-G and I understand this)

Halp plz!

I found this useful for games, is there some post or thing similar for reading comprehension?

I'm taking a break from watching worlds/ studying for contracts to say, good luck!

Don't tilt, if something frustrates you or distracts you, take a second to take a deep breath and stay focused.

Once you're in law school, the LSAT and all of the struggles will be a distant memory!

The real journey hasn't even started :P!

Hi, all. I just took the 10/3 LSAT. I was expecting to take the test in a particular classroom, Classroom A, that I am very familiar with. The testing center was changed to a new classroom last week, Classroom B. For the test today, though, I was assigned to a completely different room, Classroom C, than the one stated on the ticket I printed last night, albeit it was in the same building. I didn't realize that changing the room on the day of the exam was possible. Is this something I should just expect?

Additionally, the room I took the test in had really small desks. Really small. So small that the proctor even mentioned it. It is entirely my fault that I never once took a test on such a small desk. I don't have consistent access to one and Classroom A and B (where I thought I was taking the test) have large desks. I had a difficult time figuring out where to put my pencils, watch, answer sheet, and eraser. In the middle of the exam, some of my things fell off the desk. I was debating whether I should scramble to retrieve my things... and considering that one of those things was my watch, I went for it...

Do you have any specific advice about how I should position my papers and belongings on a small desk (I'm talking about one of those flip-up desks connected to a chair)? I usually have the practice test booklet laid flat so that I can see both pages-- should I fold the pages back so that I see only one page? That seems like an irrelevant limitation to what the test is supposed to measure. Also, because I did not practice on a small desk beforehand, I had to figure out the best place to put the answer sheet during the exam-- is it better to put it in your lap? Hold it in your non-dominant hand? Place it under the test booklet? I was nervous about putting it under the test booklet because I annotate the test and didn't want pressure to transfer to the Scantron. I'm prone to making Scantron errors so it's important to me that I fill in blocks of answers after every 2 pages or every logic game, but with a small desk, it was a huge waste of time to retrieve the answer sheet from where I had it (non-dominant hand, lap, underneath the booklet) after each of these blocks. Also, I had to hold some of my pencils between my knees under the desk because there was just no space on the desk. This is something I really need to be prepared for and would like serious advice as it is a huge issue for me.

I'm also curious about what your testing center was like. The June test-takers at my school said that the desks they had last time were huge (I know which ones they are talking about).

OK... Save the anti-drug bashing, but constructive criticism is invited. I've taken it since college and I've done pretty damn well with it. Now with two months left before the Dec. exam I'm starting to wonder if this is hindering my abilities. Sometimes it works great, other times not so much... For example, I'll dominate an LR section but the very next RC section I'll get lost in a passage and start to panic, which then throws me off come question time and vice/versa. I've been studying since June with it currently scoring in the high 150's low 160's... Is there anyone else here taking it who has a successful strategy with using it correctly? Perhaps a certain time of day you take it? Any specific foods you eat to maintain energy? I'm worried if I stop taking it altogether it will throw me off and by the time I recover and begin to excel it will be too late for the Dec. administration. Any suggestions or pity party invitations are graciously accepted, haha. Cheers #addywoes.

READY.

Unequivocally. Joyfully. Aggressively.

READY.

Hello everybody,

I was wondering if anybody could help clarify something for me. I am a little confused about diagramming the sentences with two "if (or unless)". How could I translate the following sentence into the formal lawgic?

"no plant is worth growing unless it bears fruit"

I tried this way " - bears fuits ----> (P ---> - WG) " but this structure is not helpful.

Is it okay to translate this into either one of the following?

" -bears fruits ---> P ---> --WG" or " - bears fruits + P ---> - WG"

Can anyone shed some light on this?

P.S: Please helpe me with the next one too

"New investment that takes place while interest rates are falling cannot lead to the huge growth"

I hope everyone does extremely well! Let's do this!!!!!!

i am in a dilemma regarding whether to take the test this Saturday. i had been scoring at my target of 173 in the retakes of the tests but on the only 2 fresh tests that i did this year in the last 2 weeks, i was much below the target, mainly due to rc. i also missed some silly points on lg so i think i can go near perfect on a normal lg section.

pt 72: -18, 166, rc -9, lr1 -0, lr2 -4, lg -5

pt 75: -13, 168, rc -6, lr1 -2, lr2 -2, lg -3

i have already 2 scores so this take is pretty much it. if everything goes normally i think i'd still be sitting at -11/-13, which would still be below my target. so i am unsure whether to withdraw and do december or just take it now.

how could one decide?

is there any point in doing a 73/74 rc (which are fresh for me) and seeing again if the section goes better?

Has anyone ever taken this? It's being offered at a location near the real exam but I can't find any information on what I need to bring.

Are there 7Sage mods/reps commenting on students answers reported below videos to correct any mistakes students make when they attempt to solve problems? If so, do these reps/mods have an official avatar or a 7sage sign so we can quickly identify them? One of the reasons why I ran away from the Manhattan forums is that it took a good amount of time to weed through incorrect answers/explanations. Please help 7Sage?

Also is there a way to print one's notes or save them in a PDF format?

Thanks

I spent the entire summer working 50 hour weeks at a law firm and now back at school for my 3rd year of undergrad. I want to get back to studying for the LSAT which I haven't done since May-ish. Somewhat busy now with school and clubs but I do have some time to start studying again. I finished off the complete course in May and now I have to idea where to pick back up, I don't want to start right away with Prep Tests because I feel like I will just ruin my confidence by taking one after being so far removed from the LSAT. Any Suggestions??

I think PT 1 is June 1991. Does anyone know what the exam was like before then?/have a copy of a pre-1991 exam? I am a little curious.

I'm registered for Saturday's administration. I am not ready but if I score at the highest end of my PT's, it will be acceptable if I somehow bomb December's administration. The biggest problem is I am quite sick with a viral chest cold right now and it is not improving. I have a cough that I cannot suppress and I pity anyone who would have to sit near me.

On the other hand, I am definitely applying for this cycle. I just am not going to wait another year... and so it seems like I don't have much to lose from taking it Saturday.

Please advise?

For those people applying to schools in Ontario, Canada (such as University of Toronto) for this November, we need to apply through OLSAS. There are a lot of different things on there and some items might require clarification. Since I think a decent number of us are applying in Ontario, I think it's a good idea that we all ask each other in this thread (perhaps make it a sticky thread). Any random question. Try to make an effort to find out first, then ask here. I'm sure some people have already called OLSAS for things of this nature. Hopefully you all agree this is a good idea. I know I wouldn't mind just being able to ask here rather than having to call if I need clarification.

Hi eveyone, does anyone know where I can get preptests 39-51? Those are the only ones I seem to be missing & I couln't find them on the LSAC site.

I have the 7 sage beginner program and have not written and of the newest practice tests. The most recent test I have written has been prep test 48, does anyone know how much the newer LSATS differ in range of difficulty. what should i expect for this saturday ??

thanks

Just a happy reminder to get your passport-style photos taken forgotten Saturday!

And I dare people to post theirs.

I always wonder how the individuals taking this test coped with this specific logic games section. The second game on this was not difficult, but time consuming as hell, and the last game is like "wth is this?"

I know it's in the category of ridiculous questions. Now let's get to business. No one likes to waste time filling in bubbles. And for ADHD + OCD perfectionists like myself, when we read "make sure it's perfectly filled in," we make damn sure it's filled in perfectly, wasting precious seconds on the clock.

So, does anyone know how perfect it needs to be before the scantron reading machine thingy fucks it up? If I leave an imperfect stray mark outside the circle am I finished?

And, does anyone have any strategies for colouring quicker? (if you noticed the U in colour it's because us Canadians spell it the correct way lol) Do you start with the outside ring and work your way in?

And yes, I already bought those tri-conderoga pencils.

So I just looked at the weather and a hurricane will be moving up the East Coast in the next few days.

What are the general practices for the LSAT and inclement weather? Do they ever cancel? This may be the first time in my life I don't want a test postponed.

Greetings all,

Where do you all purchase your PT's? I'm having trouble finding new versions of PT's 41, 42 and 43 at a reasonable price (found each for like $30 on places like eBay and Amazon!!) I would also prefer them to be new, found a couple used copies... used makes me nervous.

Good luck to all the Oct 2015 test takers!!! :)
