I am taking my first timed test tomorrow woo! Anyways J.Y. says in the videos that you need to be 100% sure that you're answer is correct but also be sure 100% now why the wrong answer are wrong. I am confused because if I am doing a Logic game question for example once I find my answer I was planning on moving on? Should I sacrifice time for the method?

Also When doing a BR Review should I get a copy of that test and re-do it with now time limits? Just somewhat confused thanks in advance for the help.

does the proctor on 7sage website (not the android app) has a way to add distractions and control timing (30 or 28 min sections)?

these features apparently exist in the app but i am not sure if there is a way to have access to distraction/timing control proctor from the website.

Not having problem with solving this question but having problem with how to diagram a specific sentence.

Carrie: "the only thing that can be required for an action to be morally good is that it fulfill a moral obligation."

J.Y diagrammed this as bi-conditional. I am having a hard time to see it. Although it does have both sufficient and necessary indicators ("the only" and "required"), I just don't see how Fulfill Moral Obligation(FMO) can be sufficient for Morally Good. Intuitively, saying FMO is the only requirement does not seem to indicate that it is sufficient. Technically, I couldn't break this sentence into two sentence (one using the sufficient indicator and another using the necessary indicator) like J.Y has done for the other bi-conditionals.

Any thoughts?

Hi Guys

I have a question I hope someone can answer, I am currently on track to take the LSAT in this coming october. The question that I have is that due to some unforseen circumstances in the past i have to retake 2 courses in this coming fall as well. These courses will affect my gpa (in a good way). Will Law Schools take into consideration my final grades, will these grades be updated as the year goes on (if i dont get accepted in the first wave and would it make more sense for me to apply later for those law schools that will accept my application at a later date so everything is updated all at one point (vs applying early with a lower gpa). Thanks in advance

Hi,

Just wondering, when will the video explanations for PT 75 be available?

After reviewing, i understand the conflict is that Kendrick says cig ads should be prevented but also remain legal. I dont understand how that's a conflict.There are lots of things we all think should be prevented, but to make illegal would be over the top.

I am obviously one of those who fell for the sucker conflict and thought the conflict was that "how could it be legal to have fatty food commercials and not cigarette commercials?", but after reviewing, i still think my sucker conflict makes more sense.

can someone help me understand more intuitively why the previous was the conflict and not the latter?

How did you do compared to your first diagnostic? I'm very curious since I finish the curriculum next week and start PT'ing the following week.

Was it something drastic?

In addition, timing still seems to be a bit of a problem when drilling. Hopefully when I start PT'ing the rhythm just comes naturally after seeing so many questions!

Happy Women's Equality Day! :)

More work needs to be done!

Should I be practicing with untimed tests first or should I go straight to practicing with timed tests?

Anyone know how to adjust your bowel movement?

The last thing I want is to get distracted during the test by the need of going to bathroom. If I have my breakfast around 7:30AM, I will need to take a bathroom break around 10AM. I just realized that I have this issue, as I start to take more PT in the morning.

Again, I'm not trying to be funny here. Any suggestions?

I know this probably has been answered but i just wanted to understand again what the BR score conveys. Is it just time and press that is killing me? . Just did my second timed test and got a BR 162. I am aiming to get a 170+.

Thanks for all the feed back.

Can you conclude from A cause B cause C that A cause C?

I have three, great professors who all agreed to write an LOR, and I picked each of them for various reasons, one being that each has a different perspective on who I am as a person and on my strengths applicable to law school.

Do other 7Sagers ask their recommenders to write on specific subjects or to focus on certain points? Or do you simply send them the necessary forms for LORs? Do you view these LORs yourself?

Thanks in advance!

Hey!

So, I have nearly every PT that has ever been released and I felt it would be a tremendous waste to just forget about them as soon as I'm done with my application cycle.

I was figuring it might be a good idea to create a PT bank on a google drive with all of them. That way, those who don't have them would have access. In addition, for the 5 or so I don't have, we can add those to the group.

What do you all think?

I took a little over 6 full weeks off from studying for the December 2015 LSAT test. I was wondering, what is the best way to get back in the flow of things? I have started to do a mix of starting from where I stopped along with reviewing from the beginning, but I need guidance. Should I start from where I stopped, should I review from the beginning, or should I start from the beginning? You wise counsel would be greatly appreciated.

I find my true weakness in logic games is over-thinking the game board which causes me to make invalid inferences or duplicate game boards that do not need to be done. does anyone know how I can correct this mistake.

What are the rules for what I can't do during the 15 min break?

- can I exit to use the bathroom?

- can I do some exercises in the hall (such as shadow boxing and pushups)?

- can I do some exercises in the test room (such as shadow boxing and pushups)?

- can I make noise (yet not enough noise to he heard in another room)

- can I leave the room to get some water?

Thanks in advance!!

Hey guys! If you like Social Media, we've got a few pages. We're not terribly active on it right now (though I'm trying my best), but I just updated some stuff on Tumblr (yay new theme!) and was just wondering if any of you use that stuff.

Hey guys! I hope preparing for the Oct. LSAT is going well for you :) I was wondering how you review for logical reasoning questions after getting them wrong. For logic games, we are told to print out 10 clean copies and to do them frequently until we get them right. How do you do this for logical reasoning? Sometimes, I notice that I end up memorizing the answer choice and that really doesn't consolidate my knowledge about it.

Thanks!

Between a/c B and C. Firstly I have issues with how the Conclusion is about labor savng technology tends to undermine values--- being interpreted as a conditional statement. We do not know it is guaranted because it is just a TENDENCY. So if when I golf it tends to rain, you cannot make that a conditional statement. Because if it doesn't rain that doesn't mean I cannot golf. I can golf and it not rain. That is why C doesn't make sense to me. You have to view the last sentence as a C.S. for it to. B is a better answer. No type of tech will fail to undermine the values of a social system = a type of tech will undermine the values in a social system. Yes that type of tech is labour saving tech. so it seems correct.

I notice that almost ALL the questions I get wrong on PT (not many) are at or near the end each section. These are questions I worked on, and answered; I didn't have to guess. Also I generally don't have problems running out of time before I'm done with all the questions, so I don't think I was rushing it...

Any comments on why this may be? Any suggestions? I can't help but feel there's a psychological reason this keeps happening to me.

I applied to law school before and didn't like how things were looking so I'm taking a year off to retake the LSAT and re-apply. Since I would ask at least one or two of the same people who wrote me letters of rec last year, should I reuse the ones they wrote me? Maybe change the date? Idk. Or tell them my predicament and ask if they can write a new one? Not much has changed in the last year so it's not like the letters would be all that different. Thanks!

Good morning,

I'm currently working on reading comp untimed. Just to focus on accuracy. For each passage I get -2 or -1. I find myself spending time on questions such as the "author's attitude" with unfamilar vocabulary. I usually take a dictionary out to define the word. Right now I'm not focused on timing. But there has to be a better way to get through reading comp without a dictionary. Plus, I won't have this option test day.. lol Please help !!!!!!!!
