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.

I want to be able to enter a discount code before I purchase an upgrade for a course, but there is no field to do so. I don't want to hit 'Purchase' until I see my discount applied. Any suggestions?

Hi

I purchased Ultimate back in January - one of the best decisions I made for my prep.

I am coming to the end of my LSAT career (fingers crossed), and I do not have tests 69-72 which I want to take before the September test.

My question is, do I have to pay $30 each ($120 total) for these tests? Even though I purchased Ultimate ($500+) close to 9 months ago. Seems like a lot for 4 tests.

Can anyone help explain how I should translate the stimulus?

I understand why E is the correct answer, but I would love to solidify why this answer choice is 100% correct.

Thanks in advance!

This might be a really obvious question, but: if a given LSAT has a less rigorous section, is it usually compensated by a very difficult section of another type? I find that when games are easy, reading comp is a lot harder.

I need a 160. I got a 147. My last test I got a 152 ( about 3 weeks ago though ). Maybe my score is a couple of points lower than it was before i even began studying at all because I took the test so late in the day and my mind was already kind of scatter-brained.

Nevertheless,

I just bombed the test.

I have 6-7 more tests scheduled before the sept 27 test ( maybe 8 tests )

Anyone experienced gains in such a time frame..with such a score? Good lord lol.

When I grade my test from one of the preptest books I know which ones I got wrong, but it'd be nice to see his explanations too

My course expires tomorrow and I'm trying to extend my course, but it says I do not have a full course and to either purchase a full course or log-in. I am logged in. I log-in again anyway... but it still says the same thing. If I purchase the extension is it going to properly credit my account? I don't want to loose my materials.

I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to improve on logic games. The problem is that I can usually only solve 2 LG within the 35 minute time limit and have trouble solving the more difficult 2 even without a time limit. I've been using the suggested method of printing out blank copies and repeating the game. After I've watched the video I can almost always solve the problem the first time within 6 minutes and get 100%. I feel like although this method works for a lot of people it's not all that helpful for me. Maybe I've been doing it wrong? Also I've been practicing and getting my hands on as many logic games as I can. Any advice on another method to improve would be great!!

For RC, do you guys blind review by reading the stimulus and going through the questions? Or do you just forget blind review, and go straight to J.Y. explanations? Or both?

I saw someone make this comment on the discussion board.

"All I can say is that one full month with your full concentration on 7sage 10 hours a day will actually improve your LSAT score by at least 20 points. Ask around and you will confirm my statement."

Thoughts?/Any actually experience this kind of jump?

Hi Guys,

I've been progressing in 7sage at roughly a topic per day with 87 days until the actual test. I only have the basic plan. The first thing it tells you to do is to take the 2007 test..Should I use this as a baseline or my score of 132 when I took a PT the first time without any prep at all. I'm not sure how to access other PTs on this site, but what rate should I be doing PTs? One a week, more or less? If you know how to access PTs here or through another method please tell me how.

Also, is there any place on this site where we can practice certain sections and if so how do I access it? If not, what supplemental material would you recommend (books, website, etc)

I just posted something very similar in the course so I apologize if this is considered spammy, but I hoped it might be more visible here.

Something I've been really trying to improve upon is getting rid of wrong answer choices quickly. I watch JY do it in the videos and know that being able to adopt this skill is crucial to cutting down on time. I'm not talking about when something is factually out-of-left-field or an obvious conditional reversal, but more when the first part of an answer choice is not enough to make it right, but may have additional information that doesn't make it wrong and hence shouldn't be eliminated. I have no trouble understanding why he will cross off an idea--I do see why it's not fully correct--I just can't seem to nail down when you know that it's sufficient information to be able to eliminate it and look at other answer choices.

This came up most recently on PT 34, 2 #23, a LR MBT question. Basically, the first part of the correct answer choice did not provide information that would make it the credited response. It was simply irrelevant. So how do you know when something is irrelevant vs. absolutely wrong?

I guess this will be more of an issue on some types of questions more than others and so I can focus on some type-specific strategies, but I have seen this on main point questions in RC, which is where I WOULDN'T expect to see it. I can't think of any specific instances at the moment, but I feel like I've seen a couple correct main point questions include a little detail that really isn't crucial to the main idea, but the rest of the choice is a perfect match and the other answer choices are very clearly wrong.

Similarly, I get why JY might immediately eliminate a answer choice that is asking you to make an inference off of a necessary condition, but I'm just afraid that the answer choice might either make this detail irrelevant or say something like *you can't conclude anything about this* at the end. I know this will occur much less frequently than it won't, but I know a big weakness of mine is eliminating all answer choices and panicking. (I'm getting better at rereading the question stem to make sure I didn't miss a crucial detail and if not, just skipping it, but I'd still like to just avoid this in general.) I've been contemplating making different notations for answer choices that are straight up wrong or have something wrong enough that I don't like it and moved on without finishing it so that if I do get into this situation, I don't have to revisit all answer choices, and can also study where I'm doing this correctly/incorrectly in BR, but other than that, I'm stuck.

I understand that with practice I will see more patterns and develop more confidence, but I feel like there is some strategy here and would appreciate your thoughts!

Just wondering if everyone does it this way and if it is superior to reading the passage then the question

Looking for a study buddy in Orange County Area. Looking to go at the December Test! at high 50's Low 60's looking to pass 70. Contact me if interested Firouziaidin@gmail.com

ciao

I was looking at the locked content to see what I would gain access to if I were to upgrade to the ultimate course pack when I noticed that PTs 36-45 are unlocked for those with the premium package. I have the premium package but they are locked for me. Any help would be much appreciated.

Preptest 65 is the latest test I have on my 7sage account. For those who have done later lsats, are there are any new question types on the later lsats?

I have plenty of older tests to review, but I'm wondering if I would be missing anything if I never see preptests newer than 65.
