What do you guys do to keep your mind off lsat before scores are out?

I am very nervous. Before I sat for the February lsat, the last five prep test were all 180. I know some like to believe getting 180 is out of luck, but I worked hard to get there so for me it wasn't matter of getting lucky. I'm hoping my actual lsat will be 180 as well.

I saw someone posted about LSAT day dreams, but it was closed because people were being awfully rude :/ I wanted to start the discussion again:

I day dream about 180. What about you?

Hi,

I was curious in finding out what approach you may all take before taking a PT? Such as do you do certain game set/practice problems before a PT? Do you read articles? Do you exercise? What is it that you do that gets your mind ready for a PT?

Hello!

I really want to improve on my conditionality. Especially when it comes to looking at the stimulus and, although it's not worded in traditional "if...then" statements, be able to get a sense of what the conditionality is.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to improve upon this? I've recently redone the course. I'm going through my old answer choices from this time around and making sure I understand why my answers were wrong, so I think this is really the time to increase my skills on this.

I know I can go through old questions and write out the conditional statements, but has anyone done anything additional they wouldn't mind sharing?

Thanks :)

(good luck to all you Feb LSAT takers getting your grades back soon!)

Hey 7Sagers, another fancy new title coming your way!

I'm sure most of you have noticed "Sage" title. Well, we've got a new addition: "⭐" (Previously Mentor)

What does this new title mean?

⭐ (Previously Mentor): We noticed you've been supportive and active. These members are hand-picked by 7Sage staff (and the Students!). ⭐ members are not subject to an LSAT score cut off. ⭐ members are or were enrolled in a 7Sage course.

Sage: Our "Sage" title is still reserved for those who scored 170 or higher (we verify this). To become a Sage, you'll now have to have previously been a ⭐ member. Sages were or are still are enrolled in a 7Sage course.

Keep it up, 7Sagers!

I sometimes day dream of accidently getting the answer sheet on test day so I have all the answers.

This happened to me on my midterm exam once. The professor gave me the answer sheet on accident but of course he realized it before I could memorize any of the answers.

What is your LSAT fantasy/day dreams?

I'm thinking of creating Facebook study group where we can chat with each other about lsat related stuff. I find it hard doing Skype, Google hangsout because 1) not everyone has Webcam and 2) since people live in different locations the time zone is different and may not allow one to get on Skype on time.

By using Facebook we can take pictures of the stimulus we are having a hard time with or just send a question and have whoever that is online at the moment respond. It would be like a 24/7 lsat service lol

If interested send me your Facebook email in private message and I'll add you to the chat forum.

I'm totally thrown on S.U questions; I've been back through the theory videos and still get 100% of the questions wrong. During BR I can't seem to understand why right questions are right and why wrong questions are wrong.

My logic skills, during the letter exercises (drawing inferences, etc) are strong; things seem to just fall apart when having to instead deal with word-based stimuli and logic structures that are not as clear cut as they were during the theory exercises.

Does anyone have an external resources they know of that could help bridge the gap? If so, I'd be very grateful and may even be able to avoid going totally grey before October ;)

Thanks.

I am really confused on strengthen LR questions (assumption family). So I learned that if you attack strengthen questions fhe same way as "must be true" questions it will screw you up. Makes sense, but sometimes the right answer to strengthen questions seem like a must be true. So I'm confused.

For example, February 1996 LR 1 Q. 11 about space stations correct answer seems to be a must be true even though it's a strengthen question type.

The scores will be emailed to you on March 3, 2015. At least that's what it says for me on LSAC.org. I took mine at Brooklyn College in Bklyn, NY, so I don't know if that date applies to everyone.

I'm six weeks into study, preparing for October.

Had my first LSAT dream last night and, strangely enough, my understanding of some tough Logic has fallen into place today.

When did you have your first LSAT dream?

Pretty self-explanatory... I've taken a few tests more than once and want to mark improvement and check across answers. Am I able to add an additional score to a test without erasing my first score? Thanks in advance!

Hey 7Sagers,

Added a study guide / cheat sheet sub-category:

http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/categories/study-guides

Put your study guides in there so you don't lose them in the forum clutter! :)

I also added a suggestions sub-category last week:

http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/categories/suggestions

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that always participated in the discussions and shares their notes/ study methods/explanations and so on. But it truly makes a difference being able to get on here and knowing that I'm not the only one prepping for the LSAT and talking about the process. It's a lot better when you have an entire community willing to help each other out. So I appreciate all of you on here ^_^

A few weeks ago I was going to purchase The Trainer and somehow I was asking about it before I purchased it on Ebay and @"Nilesh S" so happened to be sharing his experience using this book along with 7Sage so I figure why not ask him if he's selling his copy so that I can purchase it from him instead since he's probably never going to open it again. I rather buy it off someone from 7Sage then someone off Ebay. That was my way of thinking when I made that comment to him. It so happens that he said he was not selling his copy but instead he would be willing to mail it to me for free. Which I was not expecting him to say all of that lol but I am thankful and I hope that when I am done with the LSAT I can also bless someone on here with this book and everything I have that's LSAT related. ^_^

Have a great day everyone & stay warm!

Hi everyone!

I've been studying for the LSAT for a short time and I'm not sure where to go from here.

I started when I had an epiphany 6 weeks before the February test that I wanted to go to law school. I studied nonstop, maybe 4-5 hours a day, for 6 weeks. I started with a score around 153 and expect to get 165 on that test. Most of my studying was devoted to Jay's awesome videos, bringing my LG score from ~13 to ~21. In addition I did preptests 61-72 under timed conditions (scores varied from 159 to 165).

After the February test I decided that I thought I could do better. I printed preptests 1 to 61 and have been taking them nonstop. My scores have gone from 165 to today's test of 176. (preptest 7) Obviously I'm happy with that score, but I am looking for advice on how to get it higher.

Right now I'm getting -1 or -2 on LR, -0 on LG, and -4-6 on RC. And I feel like that accurately expresses my ability in each area. I know that these tests I'm doing right now are older (I'm doing them in order) so this may not translate exactly to modern tests, but I am trying to forecast.

My question is:

How should I be practicing, other than taking more and more preptests, such that once I get to test 74 in June I can score a 180?

I'm planning to take a preptest this Friday. After I blind review by myself, I'm interested in IM-ing with other(s) this weekend to really make sure I can articulate my answer choices. Is anyone else interested in doing a second BR round like this? I feel like trying to shoot for a group/consensus BR score of 180... might be a good way to get max mileage out of PTs. :-) Best way to learn something is to explain it to someone else, after all.

Let me know, and we can work out the deets. Thanks!!

Hi! If anyone in the Tampa Bay area wants to study, just let me know. I am currently studying for the June LSAT. I think it would be a great idea to meet up and prep together!

I'm sure this has been posted before. It's a bit of motivation and a bit of a joke all in one!

I would like to study with someone who is using Testmasters and Manhatten LR.

I am also using 7sage for logic gamea.

I am relatively new to the law school game. I am applying to work at a firm as a legal assistant. I was wonder if anyone would be able to review my cover letter. As i am not native english speaker and i think that will translate. I am very nervous and I would greatly appreciate it. I am working very hard to be better everyday and I can't let my shortcoming stop me.

just curious because i usually learn a few things here and there when doing a test but i am always curious as to whether if they are true ^_^

I am trying to find LSATs 1-35 on 7sage. The system is setup to score them and content is used throughout the theory sections, but I can't seem to find where to download the early tests for practice. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I've searched and couldn't seem to find this answered elsewhere. Feel free to link me to another thread if one already exists on this topic.

I am aware this will all be anecodotal information and will vary greatly from person to person but I'd still like to know, what do you all consider to be a "normal" difference in score between an actual (timed) PT score and a BR score? I am trying desperately to score consistently in the low to mid 170's. My last few PTs have been in the 163-165 range but my BR scores are consistently 174 and above. While I am happy to be able to do well when I review, it is frustrating to see a ~10 point difference between the two scores. I keep thinking that eventually my actual scores will move closer to my BR scores but so far that hasn't happened.

Any tips on what can be done to close the gap? I've worked my way through the curriculum, have done some drilling with the Cambridge Packets and am currently working my way through the LSAT Trainer. Any advice or information you'd like to share would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am starting a full time job and am planning to take the June 2015 test. My hours will be 8am-5pm. I am 40% through the curriculum. Should I study before work and review in the evening? Just in the evening? Weekends?

Any advice is appreciated.
