Forgive me if this has already been covered, but I'm curious about different bubbling strategies. Any advice? I usually bubble before I turn the page--so after a full passage in RC, a full game in LG, and about 7 questions in LR--and then, after the 5 minute warning, I bubble after every question. It's such an important aspect of the test that I think gets overlooked. Any new ideas/strategies would be greatly appreciated!

Is the $60 dollar 180 Watch worth it?

Just took PT 65.

-0 LG. -1 RC. -14 LR.

What

The

Hell

I went from getting like 6-8 LR wrong to 14 wrong.

I really need a strategy because the Cambridge LR bundle (questions from tests 1-38) I bought is a joke. The hardest questions from 10-15 years ago are child play compared to some of the questions on the recent tests. I'm taking the LSAT on Oct 5, and I don't think I'll be able to get LR down by then.

I can do the earlier LR with more ease because I can actually understand the stimulus. Some of these newer questions don't even register in my head.

I hate having to make these topics but for all the LSAT LR Gods out there: How the heck do you manage to do some of the harder questions in 1.5 min?

Hi!

I am currently stuck in a rut with my score. I have made 157-159 on the past few tests I have taken and can't seem to break 160. I BR at 171ish so I know I can do better! Any suggestions on how to make a few more improvements these last few days?

Thanks!

I can only open videos for LG under Prep 58. Every other opens with "html5: Video file not found". I tried both normal PC browsers and Apple browser, but none worked. Prep videos other than 58 work. Does anyone have the same problem, or know why this happened? Thanks!!

For someone who has finished the 7sage lessons and is about to start the PTs, what would be a good weekly study schedule? I recognize that taking as many PTs, BR-ing them and training yourself under the time constraint is key to doing well. I have read some posts where people say average 2 PTs per week with a break in between. Let's say I am preparing for the December LSAT. I also work full time. Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Okay, so perhaps I'm overthinking this, but here goes:

I put down (B) rather than (C) for the following reason: the stimulus indicates that the degree of immuno-effect is related to branching of the beta-glucans, but states that beta-glucan extracts from the shrooms have this effect (i.e. Whether b-g 's in general do is not stated). Thus, to say that b-g branching triggers immuno-effects in mammals (answer C) seems to overshoot what's in the passage, whereas (B), which only mentions that if extracts have an immuno-effect, then that shroom must be making b-g 's.

Tell me where i'm going wrong.

Thanks & all the best w/ practice,

Z

Anyone have this message come up? I use chrome as my browser and at least once for every video I play, I get this error. It didn't bother me too much until it happened with my exam proctor in the middle of an exam.

Video explanations for LSAT Prep Test 69 (June 2013) are finally here!

You get individual video explanations for LG, LR, and RC, all done by JY. On top of that, there's also something new that we're pretty excited about...

For LR, you get to see a real time recording of JY attempting those sections under fully simulated timed conditions. You get to see exactly how he tackles each question.

You also get his times on each of the RC passages and each of the LR questions.

For the next 3 days, we’re offering PT 69 along with all the videos associated with that PT for the special early bird discount price of $19.97. That's 33% off :D

UPDATE: Sale is over!

Hey guys,

I need help with tips of when to split the game board and how to easily spot the inferences. I'm never able to put all the inferences together that force out only a few possible boards which in turn helps you fly through the questions. Normally, I'll set up my board, see nothing, then go through the questions. The problem is it takes too long. I get almost all the questions correct most of the time, but I'm spending 8-12 minutes on each one, with the occasional difficult 14. Then I watch the explanations and it all clicks and i keep beating myself on how I missed all the inferences. Any idea how to get better at noticing what to force out?

Hi,

I'll be starting the CAS process for getting my LSAC gpa computed as well as getting LORs from professors. I already have two professors willing to give me a LOR and I will be meeting with them next week.

I'm taking the LSAT in October. Can someone explain like I'm 5 what steps to take to make the application process as streamlined as possible?

I honestly looked this up but the information is so all over the place. I would like to know, if it is all right, how those of you who are in law school or have gone to law school completed the application process. What steps did you take and when?

Thanks

I just took PT 59. In the PT scorer it says that section 2 LR is "easiest" and section 3 is "harder". I got 50% accuracy on section 2 but 84% accuracy on section 3. If I can fix this problem my score would probably be a lot better. My weaknesses are MSS and Flaw questions (could be that section 2 had more of these types). How do you guys approach Flaw and MSS? I feel like there's some connection I'm not making.

I'm not sure what it is but I can't seem to apply the methods of diagramming as easily to these questions. I did horribly on LR after improving quite a bit in the upper 50s PTs. Many of the NA questions were same in terms of difficulty, but the questions where inferences need to be drawn seem to make pretty big leaps in logic.

PT 60 absolutely destroyed me in LR. Felt way too abstract and I'm not sure how to go about answering such questions.

For some questions, I still can't understand the gap even after watching the video explanations. At this point I am getting frustrated of getting so many questions wrong. Has anyone done PT 60 onwards? How has your experience been with LR?

Can someone please help me out with this question? It's really doing my head in.

Would A still be correct if it was phrased: Skiff's book will be published this year if it is as important as he claims it is.

Many thanks.

Hi fellow LSATers!

I'm looking for study buddies for the October 2013 exam, as I'll be studying full time up until the exam.

I'm currently scoring in the 167-170 range, and would like to consistently hit 170+ by October.

Bonus if you're strong(er) in Reading Comp/Logical Reasoning but weak(er) in Games, as I am the opposite and we could complement each other.

Ideally interested in meeting up/Skyping to bounce ideas off of one another, discuss strategy, and see different thought processes to arrive at the credited response.

Do any of you guys try "predicting the answer" after reading the stimulus and question stem on LR but before reading the answer choices? I recently started attacking the problems this way and have since found them more manageable. I think it's because one of the most challenging aspects of LR is parsing really convulted material in a short period of time...something so verbally taxing is only made worse when trying to juggle answer choices that are all designed to tempt you. I noticed that I started employing this method naturally over time but didn't see improvement until I did so actively. Granted, you can't always predict which angle they'll take but doing so will at least give you the advantage of understanding the parts of the argument more thoroughly.

This thread might be geared more towards the instructors... Anyhow, I was wondering if there are certain benchmarks one should meet with X amount of weeks left to expect X range in score. For example, if writing the October test (t-minus 4 weeks!) where should one be today if they were looking to score a 165 ? A 170? I guess it's reasonable to expect a steadily increasing score until test day if you haven't quite reached your potential yet. At the same time, I think it could be strategically better to set more realistic expectations. Any advice?

Okay guys so basically, I wrote a pt a few weeks ago only to get a 149. So I've drilled a ton in the meantime both in LG, some rc, and lots of LR. I take one today, and I got a 145 somehow. Misread a rule on a LG, crashed and burned so badly on RC. Did terribly. However, I've been BR'ing my test, without like at the answers as we are told here, and I've been adding in the BR'ed sections throughout the day.

So, I've got my 145 from todays pt, but with my BR im up to 156 and I've still yet to do my RC BR section (which I got like 9-10 right on - didnt even make it to the last passage at all ran out of time)

i'm hoping I'll end up at atleast 160 when I finish up my BR of this PT fully tomorrow morning, but I guess I've just gotta ask: What does this really mean for me? It felt like a punch in the stomach when I got such a low score back after I've put in so much careful work, but at the same time I feel like its so unrepresentative of what I'm capable of, even with my given skill at this moment. The BR kind of just made me think this more.. but what do you guys think?

Is it possible I'm just awful with timing but my fundamental skills are pretty solid?

Hi, is there a list of which logic games are included in which homework PDFs? For example, to which PDF does Preptest 29, Game 2 belong? I ask because I have these logic games printed out (without the cover page) and now I can't remember what goes where...and somehow am not finding it just sorting through the PDFs on my computer. Help?

EDIT: Heh, well I figured out which PDF my "orphan" games are from...I still think a reverse-lookup list might be helpful, though. :-)

On some PTs you need 9 wrong to get a 170, while on others you can have 11 wrong and get a 170.

Is that an indication of difficulty or just something I shouldn't worry about?

For those of you entering law school right about now, you already know that your 1L grades are the most important thing in the whole universe... right?

Whether to find a job or apply for transfer, it all falls on your 1L grades. Your 1L grades in turn depend entirely on one thing: the final exam. So, doing well in law school means doing well on your 1L exams.

Alan and I have put our collective years of experience at Harvard Law School together with law school tutor extraordinaire, Larry Lee, for months to develop a curriculum to help you ace your 1L exams.

Larry's pedigree is impeccable: Harvard undergrad (magna cum laude), NYU law (where he was magna cum laude and editor on the Law Review), named one of the top lawyers in NYC by a prestigious law magazine, and has taught students how to ace their 1L exams for years at rates of $150/hour. Click here to see his full bio, but you may be overwhelmed by his awesomeness.

We are happy to announce the beta launch of Law School Prep.

7Sage Law School Prep (LSP) consists of around 20 hours of content that will teach you how to ace your Criminal Law Finals.

We plan to sell the course for $197. But, for the next 5 weeks, you get to enroll for free.

Beta test expires on October 1st. The sooner you sign up, the more time you'll have to complete the course.

My videos keep freezing at random spots and don't restart after waiting sometimes up to 20+ minutes....tried three browsers and same issue, though sometimes just refreshing will cause the video to reload.

Does anyone have any good advice on improving consistency within each section. I've been taking about 4 prep tests a week for a while now, and my score fluctuates anywhere from -2 to -8 in LR, and -3 to -9 in RC. Its super frustrating because Im generally doing well on 3 of the sections, and then all of the sudden, I get a -8 or -9 and it kills my score. I'm having trouble figuring out why this is happening, and simply going over the answers I got wrong, while helpful, isnt fully doing the trick..

anyone else have this problem with some good tips??

Hi,

The screens do not show the arrow to initiate playing the recordings? Is the system down? Help, please!

Thank you!

basically atm my last pt a few weeks ago was 149 starting from a 140. Kinda thinking i am screwed for october, might have to push back to december. i ordered the bp lg game book so if I get good jumps in lg it may help a lot.
