I saw a link to some video a while back, of this man talking about how he scored a 180, despite not a lot of PTs being available at the time. He just retook the same test over and over again - does anyone know what I'm talking about? If so, can you share? Google coughed up a lot of unsolicited advice from randos - thanks!

I improved 18 or 19 points from my first cold PT, primarily because of your services. Already saved me around $300 in application fees. Took the test twice and baaaaarely improved the second time but its enough to put me in the 75% for my dream school. Couldn't have done this without you!

Got my October score back, and it was more or less what I expected - 172. However, my average for the last 10 full, timed 5-section PTs was 176 and I hadn't score below 173 for at least 15 prior PTs. I slept very poorly the night before test day and was primarily caffeine-powered. I'm shooting for Stanford, and 172 puts me directly on the 50th percentile LSAT. My GPA is 4.03. My question is, if you were in my position would you re-take in December? I have both admissions and potential scholarships in mind. Thanks for the input.

Hi thanks in advance if anyone can help. How should I deal with conditional answer choices in strengthen and weaken questions. Does it matter if the sufficient condition is triggered in the stimulus or does it not matter? Sometimes I have trouble with these answer choices because I'm hesitant to choose them since the stimulus doesn't indicate that the sufficient condition has been met even though the necessary condition will either weaken or strengthen the argument depending on the question stem.

Basically, I've taken 8 PTs and as of recent I'm scoring 157-159, while taking about 2 a week. Originally, I was scoring 156 more or less. -7/8 on LR, -5 on LG, -8 RC averages around. I feel that I never drilled much before starting my PT phases. I only did about a 1/6 of the logic game bundles and never drilled RC too much. Should I break from PT'ing and focus on doing the Logic Game bundles and RC sections before I start PT'ing? I feel like since my score isnt in the 160s after 8 PTs that maybe it's a bit premature and if I drilled RC/LG for a few weeks, it would help me jump into the 160s. Thanks.!

Hey guys! I apologize if there is a similar thread to this.

I just received my Oct. score and did worse than my first diagnostic test. I really want to commit to a schedule and focus on improving my score drastically (+15 points) by the February test. Do you have any recommendations?

Thank you so much!

Hey guys! So this is my first time waiting for my score and I was wondering what the grey arrow is. I can't seem to find it under LSAT Status and am DYING to know when my score will come out.

Thanks! Good luck to everyone!

If anyone would like to meet up in the DC or Northern Virginia area to go over some practice tests leading up to the December LSAT, feel free to reach out to me. I work in Arlington (Ballston) during the week, but am available most weekends leading up to the test. Also, most days after work if we schedule in advance. If anyone prefers skype that's an option as well. Trying to set myself up for success on this test, and I feel that it would be beneficial to have someone else to bounce ideas off. Let's crush this test together.

Thank You

pt 45 s1 q 21

I have a question on how the video comes to the contrapositive of the answer choice.

"there are many records of major meteor impacts that do not seem to have been followed by mass extinction"

in the stimulus

becomes

""...then all major meteor impacts would be followed by mass extinction"

I understand we need

P ---> -CCL

or

CCL---->-p

And that this is to be P3. But how is all the contrapositive of many? Many could potentially be All. Shouldn't the right answer here be not many aka none, no, etc?

Hello fellow 7sagers!

I hope that studying and preparing applications is going well!

I was just wondering if I should write a "Why X?" essay to the law school I will be applying ED. I read on TLS (http://www.top-law-schools.com/writing-effective-why-x-addendum.html) that I run the risk of being redundant if I do write one, as my decision to apply ED essentially says more than my essay ever could. Should I go on ahead and write one anyway? I feel like I should just to be safe...Thanks!

Does anyone have a specific strategy for these? They seem to be cropping up more often, and I usually do it by gut instinct, which is fine with easy ones but hasn't worked as well for harder questions. I think this trips me up because I'm not sure what the LSAC wants here. I heard one explanation that you need to take all given premises from the stimulus and choose a conclusion that uses them all in some way... but should that the be goal if using all the given premises would make you construct a bad/illogical argument? I don't know if they want a solid, less flawed argument, or something that looks more like a typical question stem with issues, but that links all the ideas in a flawed support structure.

Help?

Hi everyone, I just did preptest 64 & just realized my premium course only includes the video explanations up to 58 (except for games of course). Just curious how many of you high scorers out there upgraded your course, and if so was it worth the extra expense? Thanks in advance.
