I've tried to post this twice but had technical difficulties both times -- here's try 3 :)

I'm sure I'm not the only one on here who lives somewhere too remote for an in-person study buddy; I'm looking for one or two people who are interested in an informal study/discussion partner thing. I'm shooting for the February test, so it would probably make sense if that was your goal as well :-)

I have lots of time to study, personally -- but really, I don't think it's as important that we are on the same page study-wise as it is that we're both super-dedicated and motivated to the process!

I figure we can do as much or as little as we like; at the least, we can discuss questions/question types, compare progress and any tips/tricks we might have come across, and be general advocates for each other's success :) if the worst that comes out of it is extra motivation and a new friend or two who also will be heading off to study law, that seems like enough to make it worthwhile.

My personal plan is as follows: I've taken 4 PTs already, and will continue to work through all of the PTs after #40. I use the PTs before 40 for extra sections (to better simulate test day), as well as for extra section practice. I'm averaging 171 right now, with a test-day target of 177.

I hope to hear from you -- but regardless, best of luck with your own studies!

Anyone having a hard time changing answers during the Blind Review? I find myself biased toward the initial answer chosen and convince myself to stick with the original choice regardless if it turns out to be right or not...

Guys, when you're exercising or commuting or just putzing around, listen to the podcasts from Radiolab and Planet Money. From a content point of view, you'll learn a ton about science (both natural and social). The way the subjects are discussed is highly intelligent and the entire conversation is a series of arguments and counterarguments that ultimately reveal something deeply fascinating about the world we live in.

So, basically the polar opposite of cable news, where nothing interesting is ever discussed and no intelligent arguments are ever made.

Oh I almost forgot. This will improve your LSAT score.

I was scheduled for the december test but it was pushed to February. My entire group that I usually review with took the December test, so I'm looking for a few people to review PTs with. We usually reviewed via google hangout or skype.

Scheduling:

Most likely PTing some 30s, some 40s, 52-71. I'm open to changing around the schedule to different material. I just really want someone committed to staying on track and keeping a schedule.

Stats:

Highest pt 155; mainly low bc of RC.

-0 to -2 LG. -10 to -8 LR. RC is terrible.

I'm hoping to find someone that really wants to pt and review every other day with one day off a week. If anyone is interested please let me know.

My guess is that disciplines that are populated by smart, well-educated people who are good readers but are nevertheless characterized by crummy, turgid, verbose, abstruse, abstract, solecism-ridden prose, are usually part of a discipline where the vector of meaning—as a way to get information or opinion from me to you—versus writing, as a form of dress or speech or style that signals that “I am a member of this group,” gets thrown off.

Hey all,

I just got an email from Harvard saying that they've changed this year's application deadline to March 1 due to the snow storm. Does this mean it's feasible to apply with the FEB 2014 LSAT scores? for all schools? just Harvard?

Let me know if anybody knows more about this!

Thanks,

Sujin

I am reorganizing all my material and have a stack of old (3-4 month old) PTs I never thoroughly reviewed... worth my time going back and reviewing to correct my errors or has it been too long and would defeat the purpose? It might be a personal thing, but I feel like it would be beneficial.

I'll be back in Orlando late March. April and May I plan on going to UCF every single day to study in the library.

It would be cool to have a partner in crime.

Just wanted to know if you guys were planning on doing something similar to this: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/56/nyc-open-bar-post-june-lsat-monday-evening

it would be great to meet JY, Jon, and everyone else that got me through this hell known as the LSATs and buy you a drink (along with any other 7Sagers obviously).

Obviously not everyone is in New York, but for those that are, let's drink away our concerns over our scores!

Anyone else in?

Ugh, I just got an email from LSAC saying that tomorrow's test has been cancelled at my assigned test center (Chemeketa Community College in Salem, OR). I seriously can't believe this! There isn't even snow in the forecast, it's just cold. Is there anyone else here who's affected by this??? The email says "Next week we will contact you by email regarding options, including a make-up administration." I hope this doesn't delay the reporting of my score. I'm already submitting my applications way later than I had intended. :-(

Does the app require a separate account from my 7sage account? I've tried to log in multiple times yesterday and today with the correct email address or username and password only to see "wrong password" or "try later".

Hey guys,

I am noticing that during my practice tests this week as the test gets closer that I am losing focus my mind is wandering to thoughts such as "holy shit the test is in 4 days, I better score well on this practice" etc. Thoughts that throw me off my concentration. Is anyone else having this problem and any advice to regain focus?

Thanks everyone and good luck Saturday!

Just an FYI, for the preptests on the syllabus, after you click continue to the "Download and take the preptest" it goes to the "check and review your answers", but then it says "done" and sends you back to the syllabus as opposed to "continue" for the "Review every question and every section". Not really a problem, you just have to manually click on it from the syllabus page. Just thought I'd let you guys know.
