question about rec letters

If I have someone writing a rec letter, is he allowed to submit two letters (one that is school specific and one that is general for all law schools)? Would I send him the rec letter request twice?

Please let me know!!

I started prepping for the LSAT about 2 weeks ago in hopes of being ready for the Feb 2016 test and apply late in the cycle. I've been going through the video lecture (about 20 hours in) and just took my first PT (2007 LSAC Practice Test) this morning. I scored 164 which was a little disappointing since I am aiming to score 99% (174+). What is a realistic score increase by the February exam date assuming I continue to study 3-5 hours a day (I have a full time job)?

I was just curious if anyone knows much about the loan forgiveness for those who opt to practice public interest law. Is it a program sponsored by the individual schools, the employers (gvmt, non-profit etc)? Do you know if there are a lot of restrictions involved? Is anyone planning on utilizing this option?

So, thus far I've figured out one of my biggest problems is that I have trouble taking PTs as if it were a real test day setting. I was looking for courses that just offered weekly live-proctor settings, unfortunately I had no such luck (unless I were to enroll in a full course, and sell a kidney).

Does anyone know of a course or group that does just live proctored LSAT PTs? If not, would anyone in the San Antonio - Austin area be interested in getting together every so often (weekly, bi-weekly or monthly even) to take live proctored PTs??

I know of a few class rooms here in San Antonio we can use, and a few people willing to proctor. I did this alone once and it went really well. But I figure if I'm going to go through the trouble of setting up live proctored PTs, other people should benefit too.

Any who, I'd appreciate it if someone let me know if they know of groups out there already meeting for PTs, or if anyone is interested in starting one. :)

I'm currently scoring in the low 160s, aiming for a 170. I want to know what you guys do for skipping questions and when you skip questions in LR. Do you usually read the stimulus and immediately skip if you didn't understand, etc? Do you not skip until you read the answer choices? Is there some type of strategy where you do all the easier ones like 1-14 and then the last 2-3 questions in the section which tend to be easier. Thanks

Also, I'd like to know if most are you are reading the stimulus once, twice, three times, etc in general to answer a tougher ?.

I get why (E) is the answer here, there's a flaw between the premise and sub-conclusion. Just because a majority are unaware doesn't necessarily mean they disprove of the attempt.

But I'm having a tough time eliminating (D). If we just isolate the sub-conlusion (premise) and main conclusion we get: Since a majority of them obviously disapprove of THE attempt, graduate students at this university should not unionize. Ok, so they disapprove of THIS attempt, but isn't there the possibility that they may want to unionize for other reasons, which is what (D) says? Or maybe I'm just reading this wrong. Any help woulf be greatly appreciated!

Hey Guys,

While 7Sage lists 19 different flaw types, The Trainer lists 3 (piece does not equal puzzle, apples do not equal oranges, and 1+1 does not equal 3). I'm a little confused - can the 19 different flaw types fall under these 3 categories? If so, do you prefer going by 7Sage or the Trainer's methods when doing flaw questions?

Thanks so much!

    I'm studying the curriculum and found the negation of "all" a little confusing.

    I understand that the logical opposite of "some" is just "none."

    But isn't "not all" the negation of "all"?

    In other words, does "some... not..." mean the same thing as "not all"?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello Fellow 7Sagers,

    I was recently emailed by the Georgetown Law Admissions Office asking if I would like to participate in an in-person interview with an alumni from the Law Center (of course I said yes!). I was wondering if anyone could provide any insight into the kinds of questions to expect or were actually asked during the interview. Thanks in advance!

    Really need study buddy

    Hello my fellow 7Sagers, I'm studying for the June LSAT, and am in desperate need of a study buddy. I'd love to keep each other accountable (more or less according to the June BR group schedule graciously made by @DumbHollywoodActor) and work through concepts/teach other stuff/BR together. I think Skype would be a great forum for us to do this (unless we somehow freakishly live near each other). Please, please reach out to me if you think this is something you'd like to do! Thanks!

    Feb Test Advice..

    Hey everyone, I wanted to see if anyone could share some insight on their strategy for Feb. I took the test in Dec. but cancelled the score. Anyway, I was averaging around 164/168BR through pt 69, then dipped to 160/164BR through Pts 70-76. I believe I have a stronghold over LR.. I feel like I just haven't fully adjusted to the nuances with the 70+ tests. That's not to say they're harder per se, but one can't deny a subtle shift in LR stimuli and harder RC passages --- sans the most recent administration ;) . I average around -5.4 for LR, -7.4 for games... and -9.7 for RC on PTs 70-76. Where do you guys think I can gain the biggest improvement in time for the feb exam? Should I focus on games? I know I can do better with RC, but I feel like I can make quicker gains in the other sections... thoughts? Should I start PTing asap or in Jan?

    Hi! I'm looking for someone to Blind Review Sections/entire exams with. I have found this to be VERY helpful for me in the past and for other people I have worked together with. We would take an LR section/entire exam together, and then each person would go over every other question, articulating why every wrong answer is wrong and why every right one is right. Let me know if you're interested! Send me a message.

    Question Bank Access

    Hi @"Dillon A. Wright"

    I had purchased the Game pack when it was available but all of those tests (below 36) do not show up in my LG question bank. It would be really convenient if they did. Is that just an oversight on my account, or not a feature available?
