This website is really helpful. I wish I have found it earlier.

There's been several posts about this, but I haven't found any consensus. I understand that we should attack the support relationship, but is it also proper to directly attack premises (assuming that they legitimately attack them and it's not an LSAT trap)? Does the same apply to conclusions? Is it just so uncommon that a well-grounded on either of them exists that it wouldn't be beneficial to examine questions in that mindset?

Hi everyone,

I've noticed that on the recent prep tests I've managed to get my hands on (albeit not the MOST recent out there) there is a comparative reading section. I noticed that there aren't really any lessons on this in the curriculum. Is comparative readings still part of reading comprehension on the LSAT or no? Thanks in advance.

Is it really necessary to be dropping f bombs and swearing through out the lessons? This is your product that you as a business are selling to customers. Don't assume that just because your customers are young they don't expect professionalism.

I would like to print out all of the PDF's for this course, however when I click on a specific lesson that is signified to contain a PDF file, the system marks that lesson with a "check mark", indicating that I have completed the lesson, which I clearly have not. Is there a way to download the PDF's from a lesson without having this occur?

Hey everyone! I just took Pt 72 this morning, and I was insanely nervous! I kept thinking that this this test "was it," and I ended up putting so much pressure on myself that I flopped! I missed 17 questions, 14 of them from sections 1 & 2. During my break, I received a text from my boyfriend, who knew I was nervous about this particular morning, reassuring me that it was just another test. After realizing he was right, the rest of the test went fine -- I ended up getting a 166. I've been very consistent between 168 and 172 for months, and I was really hoping to peak this morning.

I think at this point, the only thing standing between me and my best performance is my own anxiety about the test. I know that I will be nervous on the 27th, but I don't want to be paralyzed. I've put so much into this test and it would kill me to lose points to my nerves! Does anyone have any ideas for overcoming nervousness in order to achieve a top score? Any insight would be immensely appreciated! :-)

How do you breakdown your time during a LR section? Sometimes I feel like I'm spending too much time on a particular question and am wondering when I should skip it. As of right now I usually have about 15 mins left for about the last 10 questions give or take. On a side note, when you do see a hard question that is mainly just a time consumer how much time do you give it before moving on? Just looking for helpful ideas on how to tighten up my LR score and timing. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!

Does anyone have any ideas how to get the logic games to print out in a little larger size...more LSATish? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi!

I just signed up for this course and I am eager to start using this method. I finished watching the videos on the Blind Review Method, and I just want to make sure that I am understanding this correctly.

1. Take the test and/or a section under time constraints and circle any questions you are not 100% confident on. Also, circle the questions where you are not sure if an incorrect answer is actually an incorrect answer.

2. After your time is up, go back over all the questions which were circled and not circled, and go through your reasoning. Talking out loud, go over your reasoning on the questions and if you have to change your answer do so, but make sure you make a note of it.

3. Check your answers.

4. The questions you got right and did not circle, do not worry about them. The questions you got wrong and circled, go over them by watching video explanations. Same thing with questions you circled and still got wrong, even when you changed the answer during the blind review.

If anyone can add anything or tell me if this is all correct I'd greatly appreciate it.

Cheers!

Hey everyone! I just started using the blind review method and it has been really helpful in helping me see where my mistake in reasoning was. With that said, I wanted to know what the blind score shows? Is it simply what would we have gotten if we selected the new answer choices originally or is it showing the potential range we can be scoring in? Thanks in advance!

Strategy question - I tend to actually draw out the arrow and the reasoning like the videos explain it when taking the test. It can be a little tedious and definitely time consuming if the right answer choice is D or E. Do high scorers (-0, -1, -2 in LR) do this as well? If you think you have a better strategy what is it?

During the beginning of many of the logic lessons, a mindmap is shown containing the relevant topics of the logic curriculum. Is there anyway that we can access that mindmap?

Thank you in advance,

Nick

Hi,

I'm taking the LSAT in December and I have a study schedule mapped out. I'm having a hard time with the sufficient assumption questions. I was doing really well. I understood the reasoning behind all of them, I could anticipate and get the answer when I did the questions before his videos to explain how to do it, but now that I'm on the quizzes I find that I can't even map out the stimulus by myself.

Did anyone else have this problem? What did you do to help yourself start understanding these types of questions?

In my studying program I started by focusing on games until I was consistently scoring perfect.

Then I shifted my focus to LR until I was scoring between -0 and -6 total (two sections).

Now that I have shifted my focus to Reading Comprehension, my LR score has been decreasing to -8 or -12. I am also having a difficult time finishing the LR sections on time, leaving 3-4 questions blank and having to guess.

Did anyone else experience this and have any tips to handle this situation?

7Sage timer shows error and stops itself sometimes without my knowledge while I am taking a PT, which throws off my time completely. How would you recommend me to time myself with using an analog watch or another timer? For example, when should I give myself a break? After the section 2? Should I account for the essay part? 7Sage PTs are all 4 sections with an essay, unlike the real test, which would have 5 sections...what should I do about that since I only have access to 4 sections PTs... such as what should I do with timing myself with breaks for 4 sections?

Also, I remember there was a previous discussion on whether if it's ok to bring in 3 analog watches in the test room, and set them all to 12, and press start each time the section starts. Is this ok, or LSAC only allows one watch?

Hi! So Sept test day is in 2 weeks. my last 4 PTs (5 sections and simulated conditions) have been 158, 154, 159, 155. (Started at a 138 diag so I am happy to have made these strides but I am aware these scores are still not enough) I have about 5 more PTs to take ( 2 weeks out: Tues, Thurs, Sat, Week of LSAT: Mon, Wed). Any suggestions on the next two weeks? I think at this point it will be sheer luck if I get a 160 since my PT average is floating in the upper 150s, but if theres any advice ill take it. My games section ranges from -4 to -2. LR is about -7 to -10 per section and RC is literally a toss up but usually -12 to -10 (I only am able to finish 3 passages).

Maybe only take 4 PTs and drill more?

Has anyone bought and tried the personal statement bundle? I was curious as to what it consists of and what people thought of it?

I've been studying for the LSAT for about 2 months now. I started off at 146 and now I am around 157/158. Occasionally I drop down to a 155. In the recent PTs I've been stuck in this same score range (156-159). My reading section continues to be relatively low, I usually get -9. My goal is to get a 165. I am thinking of signing up for the 7sage course. Do you think if I continue studying and add the course, my course would increase? It's frustrating because I have been studying every day usually about from 9am-5pm. What is your advice on moving up when stuck in the same score range? Any tactics? And do you think raising my score to 165 is feasible. Thank you in advance!

I can open the PDF docs on my iphone but not on my tablet. It's a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Is there something I need to do, or is the tablet just not capable of opening the docs? Anybody know?

I really need some help with RC. I'm consistently scoring where I need to with LG and LR and can pretty much guess my scores at the end of those three sections after a PT but my RC is all over the board. I've gotten anywhere from a -4 all the way to a -13 and I can't really sum it up to anything specific. All of the times it will be something where I've narrowed it down to two wrong MP questions and pick the wrong one, or something like that. As I test I don't feel like I'm guessing and I seem to more or less understand the information/questions. I have tried a variety of different methods to get a better score but nothing seems to stick. More or less I just give it my best shot, roll the dice and hope that it is a good score. What have you guys done to score consistently in the high teens (where I need to get my target score) and not miss more then a -8 or -9 on a section? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I really need help with Reading comp, I have tried everything and I still average 15 Mistakes, anyone who consistently gets 0-5 wrong can you provide any tips for the next 2 weeks.

Thanks

I have two weeks left, and logic games are by far my worst section. I know they are easy to make great improvements in, but I really feel stuck. All of the games seem different to me, and it's very hard for me to make inferences in a time efficient manner. Are there any tips you all have? Do you also have a set of games organized by category that I should memorize to improve my skills. This is very frustrating, and I just feel like I can't progress.

Are there explanations for the LRs from Test 33 on this website?

Ok so basic dream of mine is I been passionately wanting to go to Notre Dame for Intellectual Property law and I have taken the LSAT already and didn't even come close their median which is 162. I will be taking it the second time around in Feburary and lets just say I only get in the higher 150's. With my background and everything else I've done in college and the community would it be plausible to still maybe make it in? I've interned at a law firm of whom the attorney is a Harvard law alumni, I've served in the local State Senate and made quite a few connections there, as well as affiliated with a Catholic Fraternity known as the Knights of Columbus who serve the Catholic churches of my community. I also was Vice President for Phi-Alpha Delta Pre-Law Fraternity in my undergrad years with an ending GPA of 3.36 (Notre Dame median: 3.4). So with all these great recommendations I have in my corner and being honest with myself and how I am at test, Im not the greatest, but in all honesty I don't see how its still not feasible to make it into where you want to go especially with this kinda background. Considering that I'm male of Mexican American descent who comes from a single parent household there has to be someway to get in, I would really enjoy any feedback and advice. I take all criticisms at face value. Thank you

I am getting really frustrated and it is because my full time job has recently been brutal (ridiculously stressful). My job is directly affecting my studying in the last month. It just drains me and I cannot concentrate. This has destroyed my confidence for the September test. I was on my way to getting the score I wanted, but lately I have been bombing everything. After I leave work I am just mentally drained; I can't make inferences for LG, I forget the stimulus, and reading comp has been terrible. Thinking of canceling my September test, but it bums me out since I was at the score I wanted. It feels like I am burnt out, but not because of the LSAT, but because of WORK.

Any advice would be great. If anyone can relate or has any useful tips.
