Looking for LSAT study buddy in Mississauga area

That is the question. I have found that JY will sometimes ignore logical indicator language in a stimulus (always, the only, unless, etc...) for no reason whatsoever and not really explain why he chose to ignore those indicators. Instead, he'll use simple argument analysis. Did I miss a lesson? I'd love to know what criteria people have come up with to know when it's more effective to avoid using Lawgic. JY, you're more than welcome to answer this too, of course.Thanks.

Hello folks,

I am trying to get some thoughts on the whole Lsac Account issue. My acct expires in May '15. Last time I took the Lsat was in 2010 while in grad school and I've been working full time ever since then. I understand once you register for the Lsat it extends for another couple of years. I was planning for June '15 but after recently joining the 7sage nation, I realized I will definitely need more time. Is it wise to allow my account to expire since I don't know when I will be well prepared to take the Lsat this year? Any feedback will be helpful. Thanks.

Is anyone else whose LSAT days are over feeling a bit rudderless after their final test? I'm flipping through books I put off reading because of LSAT study but can't settle to start one, am flitting from one thing to another, and am basically lacking direction! I thought it would be straight up celebrating and relaxation but somehow I'm in a zombie-like state of withdrawal following the months of intensive study and knowing what my top priority was every moment of my life outside of work. I know I'll adjust but it's like some sort of mega adjustment today - I feel rudderless!

Anyone else experiencing a weird post-LSAT mental state? Is it just me??

Hi Admins:

I was wondering if y'all can please add an upload photo option? I find that sometimes it is time consuming and confusing for me to write a comment because some comments are better with a picture and not just words and symbols. For example, I'd like to take a pic to show fellow 7sagers my game board set up, and also lawgic drawings that may be confusing even with the symbol indicators. This also saves me lots of time, than to write it out again.

Just a thought :)

Thanks!!

Hey 7Sagers,

Had someone write in with a question that I thought you could help out with! Here it is:

I’m having difficulty with regards to the accuracy of my BR abilities. I’m already heavily stressed during timed pt. And I don’t have the confidence/ memory to remember to circle the questions.

My mind is already heavily condensed with information. It’s a fault in my capabilities, but i want to be honest and realistic with myself.

So, what about this amended BR method

Day 1: PT 40/Timed

Day 2: New clean copy of PT 40 Un-timed

Then grade both copies/ watch video & keep track of missed questions.

It seems that no matter what I do, I can't get any better at these things. I think that most of my problem is that I am relatively slow at critical reading, but I have always been like that and I don't really see it changing much. Not much that I really am expecting to get out of this, I just felt like taking a break and whining.

Since PT 1-35 are already used in the curriculum, is there a way 7 sage can provide the full section LR and RC sections for PT's 1-35 to students who already purchased the course?

Hi,

I was wondering if you guys were reading any good books while studying for the LSAT? I wanted to know if any of you could recommend any? It's make RC easier for me :)

Hi Sages, I was just wondering if older PT's will ever go on sale? Thanks for entertaining the idea.

Anyone interested in meeting up to study for June 2015 near downtown area?

High-scorers; serious study!

Has anyone taken a BlackStone LSAT Prep Course? I absolutely love 7 sage but I think I need something in person to prepare for June. I am reading reviews and it seems like everyone loves it. Just wanted to check here if anyone has heard/taken it themselves.

thank you!

So, my account will end today and I've taken the LSAT and I'm done, hopefully (that depends on my Feb. LSAT score). I've studied for over a year. Unfortunately, it was difficult to balance working 50-60 hours with studies, but it's all in the past. Here's what I've learned, and I hope this helps everyone else who's starting to study or is in the process of studying:

1. Learn the Logic (conditions, reversals, everything)! - 7sage does a wonderful job with explaining it, so spend a lot of time understanding it. The curve breaker questions require heavy use of conditional logic and logic overall, so, if you know Logic, this will be put you up there. I remember a quote from an LSAT book it said "if you don't learn logic, you're destined to go to law school in Tijuana". Sad, but true - although I don't know if there is a law school in Tijuana :)

2. Logical Reasoning - I used LR Bibles, LSAT Trainer and Manhattan study books in conjunction with 7sage, and while some may say they tend to conflict one another, I found them to actually compliment each other (e.g. in my opinion Manhattan LR book does a better job at explaining NA/SA questions than the Bibles do, whereas The LSAT Trainer is the best at explaining Flaw/Weaken questions).

3. Logic Games - Practice, practice, practice. I improved on Logic Games within 2 weeks of studying and what I did, is I printed like 50 logic games, 4 copies of each and I did and re-did them until I got every single one right. Once you see the patterns, the questions come naturally.

4. Reading Comp. - I am not an expert and this was my worst section, but The LSAT Trainer is the best tool along with Reading Comp Bible. But, in my personal view, it is very difficult to improve on this section.

5. Practice Tests - I used 7sage for the blind review, but there were times where I was having hard time understanding the explanations (especially for LR section - sorry 7sage). Two weeks before my test I found lsathacks.com and I think they do the best job at explaining LR. The idea behind LR argument questions is to reduce the question stem into conclusion and evidence and do what's required (weaken, strengthen, find flaw, you get it). Best part, it's free.

Good luck everyone!

Hi there! Has anyone here had the experience of interviewing for a law school? One of the schools I'm applying to has interviews and since it's not the norm, I can't find much on the topic.

If you have interviewed, could you tell me what it was like and what kinds of questions they asked? Was it comparable somewhat to a job interview?

And what kinds of questions, if any, should I be asking them? I'm a little nervous for it so words of wisdom would be much appreciated! Thanks!

If so can I get a copy?

Requirements:

PTS - 165+

Be reliable.

That's it :) message me

Hello all,

Me again. I'm starting PTs excessively early. I'm Blind Reviewing but not reviewing too intensively yet on incorrect questions. I'm a retaker so I have a base of knowledge and know my problem areas on the entirety of the LSAT but I'm not too far into my 7Sage course. I'm looking at October for a retake which is what I think will be honestly more than enough time to get to my target score of 170+. I work full-time and I know it will be very difficult for me to do 2-3 PTs a week when it gets close to game day. I took the June 2007 PT last month scored a 149 timed and 155 Blind review. I took PT 44-October 2004 this weekend. I got a 153 timed and 160 Blind Review. Now, that is higher than any of the PTs I took for preparing my first "real" LSAT in September and the September score was a 145 about average to what I was doing on PTs at the time. I never dreamed of seeing a 160 this early in my prep, even on BR. And I'm having a difficult time giving myself credit for improvement. Admittedly, its not huge but its an improvement nonetheless. Essentially what I am getting at is I've heard the older tests are easier and how indicative of improvement are the older tests? And furthermore, its just two tests that are better, should I consider consistency? I know I need more improvement but to see improvement is good I think, but I worry about giving myself any sense of false confidence. Any advice would be appreciated.

Just looking for some advice. I'm right at the start of things....

Just completed the 'Most Strongly Supported' module and averaged 72% on all of the 54 practice questions at the end. As I am unlikely to encounter this question type again until I start drilling practice tests...could I improve during that stage?

Perhaps I'm not wording it correctly (It doesn't read right to me!): Is it possible to improve on a specific question type will drilling PTs, or have I reached a plateau on my standard because I've completed the theory module?

Any advice welcomed!

Hi everyone!

I live in the Baltimore, MD area and am looking for an online Skype/Facetime study buddy as it would be easier to fit in my schedule than meeting in person. I am brand new to the LSAT, am looking to take the June offering, and just learning techniques/strategies through 7sage. I'd be interested in hearing from you. Thanks :-)

... Unless you like spam. But I don't think you do.

Here's the deal: Spambots are peeking at the discussion forum, taking down your emails and setting it up for junk mail. That's no good - I should know. I had to change emails quite a few times in the past. (Personal Note: Microsoft is junk about junk mail. No proper settings. Gmail is better.)

So: Don't include emails! PM them instead. :)

I'm in Greensboro, NC and looking for a study buddy. I'm shooting for the June test but if you're going for February, I'd be more than happy to study with you as well. My email is [removed]. Shoot me an email. Also, if anyone is shooting for the June test and wants to study via skype then I'd love to hear from you, as well!

Note from Student Services: Don't include emails! PM instead. :)

any one looking for a study buddy? I'm looking to test in June and would like to spread the studying out over 6 months- meet up once every week or every other week so that all the problems become second nature. In person would be best but I would work via skype as well. It definitely helps to talk some through with other people.

Hi guys, I'm not sure where to post this - I apologize if it is in the wrong spot.

So I received a fee waiver in over the summer and I found out [in December] that my information did not arrive and I quickly re-registered for February 2015 and faxed my information to a direct line. Everything was all set, even though I knew February would be tough because I don't have normal work hours and I had to request time off for December.

My unit is e-duty this weekend and I was last on rotation for emergency calls, but "as luck would have it..."

I'm leaving in about 30 minutes to pick up a kid who ran away from his placement for the third time in 6 months. Four hour round trip, not counting amount of time we're going to spend looking for an appropriate place tonight/this morning.

I was trying to find something on LSAC which indicated what to do for emergency illness or situation on the day of an exam, if you have a fee waiver. I can only find deadline / cancellation details.

I don't know if it's better to no-show and let someone know an emergency came up or if I should try to contact someone right now. I don't want to lose a waiver for two tests, but I realize that may happen. I'm hoping to at least reschedule for June and keep part of the waiver, but I don't know if this will disqualify me in some way.

There's probably information on here somewhere, but I'm throwing on clothes and getting phone calls and alerts on my work cell, so I can't think clearly. Any direct info or insight would help me so much. Thanks.

I've been practicing LSAT since June 2014. I went through all 7sage materials besides Logical Game Bundles in the end of August. Then I spent 3 months going through all Logical Game Bundles. During that months, all I did was logic game and reading the Economist. After Logical Game Bundle is over, I started Prep Test right away. I think you all know the result. It was awful. After 7 prep tests, the highest score I get is 152. Then I realized something went wrong. I stopped prep test. In the winter, I bought old LSAT and kept doing untimed Logical Reasoning. Gladly, I could get roughly more than 20 right, sometimes even 22, or 23. Recently, I started doing timed section and Blind Review. I gave myself 45 minutes at first. Then, I gradually reduced my time to 40 minutes. However, I could only get 16 questions right without blind review. Even with blind review, I can only get roughly 19 or 20 questions right. I am a good student. I got 3.8 GPA in UNH. After I transfer to Fordham University in my junior year, I am having 3.9 GPA. I am contributing at least 3.5 hours per day for LSAT. But the result broke my heart again. I am sorry for typing so much. But any advice will be appreciated. Thank you. I am an international student from China. English is my second language.
