Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone was interested in a Study Buddy in the East Coast (Skype/Google hangouts fine) stuyding for the Dec.2013 exam? I'm in the Philly region and was going to try to do the PT50s this month and the 60s next month -- and looking for people who were willing to discuss questions missed on the weekdays say 9pm-11pm EST, weekends whenever. I'm thinking of doing PT 51 on Thursday.

Thanks

Hello!

I noticed there aren't very many discussions about that answers to older tests from the late 90s, like from prep tests 19-28. I was using these older ones to practice and saving the more recent ones to use as dress rehearsals for the big day under actual testing conditions.

Is this actually a good strategy, or are these tests so old that I can't rely on them any more? I realize they don't have comparative reading, but other than that, are the games and LR sections still good sources of practice?

Thank you!

Looking for a study buddy who is currently aiming for 175+ for the Deccember LSAT.

Time for meetings will be open for discussion.

3 Practice Tests a week with an in-depth review.

A mixture of PowerScore, Manhattan, and 7sage methods will be used, but its not necessary for one to be familiar with any of the above cited methods as long as that person has learned the basics from 7sage.

Anyone is free to join the group, however, the lower your current score is, the more hours you will need to study in order to keep up with the group.

Those interested in joining, please leave your e-mail below for further information about the group to be e-mailed to you.

I just my 7th timed LSAT and received my highest score to date. I got a 159 timed and a 174 for my blind review. My first practice test score was a 148 timed and a 169 blind review. Does anyone have any tips on how to improve the timed? I am just curious. I have been studying for the LSAT for a little less than a whole year, and I feel like my score will continue to improve dramatically! I just wanted to post this, because I was happy. By the way, thanks 7sage.

I just finished the Sufficient Assumption packet and I felt very lost and without control of the strategy. I did great on the video lessons, but this was just not good. I took me 25 minutes to finish 10 Questions. Manly because two questions drained 5 minutes! I got 6/10. That was terrible. Can you please provide some advice! I want to know this type of questions to perfection!

Of course you are. You're about to take an important test. It's not the most important test though. That one you will be taking in December.

Just kidding. Most likely, this is the last LSAT you'll ever take. I'm only trying to remind you that for something as important as this, there are second chances. That's definitely not true for a lot of other important things in life, so that's something to feel good about.

For most of you, you already know what score you'll get. Take your past three recent (i.e., 59-69) properly administered LSAT Prep Tests and average your score. You'll get plus or minus 3 points of that average.

You are as prepared as you can be and there is nothing standing between you and that score. You've already seen everything they'll throw at you and you've amply demonstrated your ability to respond. Saturday will not be new day and the October 2013 LSAT will not be a new LSAT. It will only be "LSAT Prep Test 70" which will be just like PT 69 and PT 68 and PT 67 and so on.

For Saturday, there's only one thing I want you to remember: keep moving.

You will encounter curve breaker questions. Every LSAT has them. Every student who has ever taken the LSAT before you has encountered them. You will too. I'm telling you this now, so you'll be prepared. Skip those difficult questions. Don't let a couple questions break your rhythm.

Just keep moving.

You got this.

I am shocked by my sudden score drop when I took a PT in a realistic setting today. Thoughts?

I have taken my last three PTs under the same strict rules. My scores are as follows: 152, 159, 162, 156

I ran out of time on a large number of questions. Thoughts?

I REALLY NEED a +165 next Saturday.

As those of us who have been studying for the LSAT for 6 months + know, the lsat does not allow you to make commitments to other things that take up your time, such as full time job, bodybuilding, Grand Theft Auto 5 etc, . After studying 5 hours a day for the whole week, feeling like I need to take a mental break this friday night. However, I know that partying till the AM hours is not a good idea when prepping for such an exam. How are most of you getting your mental breaks?

Hi all, happy studying and good luck to those of you taking the October test!

Anyway, I have a few questions I want to clear up:

1)How "weird" really is the experimental section? I'm worried about being thrown off by some of the LSAC's more creative endeavors in this section and getting flustered.

2)I know this will vary, but, when does the test usually start? 9-ish? I'm curious as to how to dose my ADHD meds (RX'ed of course)?

Hey guys,

Since the test is 8 days away, I planned on reviewing about 4 sections each of LR and RC from older tests. Do you think it is a good idea? Should I do more? Less? Would using PTs 55, 57, 59, 61 be okay? I already took those but I don't think I remember any answers from them. They're also recent enough...

I have yet to take PT 69. I plan on taking that on Sunday.

Thanks

What does the actual test look like? Is it three staples in the middle and you open it up like a book? Do the layouts of the sections look just like the preptests (one LG on each page, each RC occupies two pages, etc)?

Also, is the RC passage on the left hand side while all the questions are to the right of it? I usually have only ~1-2 mins to spare on RC so I'd really like to know if I have to keep flipping pages if the questions refer to a specific part of the passage.

If someone can give a detailed description that would help a lot for those of us trying to simulate the real test during PTs. The more detailed the better! Thanks in advance.

So, like many people on this forum studying for the october lsat, I have pretty much been living and breathing the test for the last couple weeks (months?)...

anyways, I thought some people would get a kick out of this...

I took Prep test 61 yesterday...took it, reviewed, blah blah blah...

Then I went home and started reading the economist. I got to the SECOND article of this weeks issue (the weakened west) and I started to think, man this all sounds kinda weird and familiar. And why you ask? The second passage of RC on PT 61 happens to be all Han van Meegeren forging Vermeer artwork-- then making a ton of money, only to later go on and make a bunch of critics look foolish when he gives himself up. Turn to page 12 of the economist, and what do you find, "Fakes say some interesting things about the economics of art," an article all about van Meegeren, and a new forger in New York who tricked some galleries into buying 63 forged works and making out with $30 million dollars!

Seriously, you could probably answer some of the questions from the passage correctly from reading the economist article, and NOT the actual lsat passage!!

Crazy, I thought some of yall would like that; as I just had one of those, 'man, am I a nerd or what?' moments.
