As the thread topic suggests, I'm looking for a study buddy or study buddies within SF or the greater Bay Area. Preferably someone that's been through most of the curriculum (I'm more than 70% through). PM me or respond to this post. Hope to hear from you soon!

I'm confused. I took a practice test in the book 10 new actual, official LSAT preptests.

I took and scored a test according to the book and got a 166. But when I put my answers in the 7sage calculator it says I got a 162. I went back and checked and it has the exact same questions marked wrong and no new questions marked wrong.

What's up?

Hi,

I work full time and I am preparing for the June exam. I would like to start a PT review/general online study group for people who work full time (review will be online (google hangout) and on weekends). Most of the PTs would be done on weekends with review on weekends/during the week. Please email me @ nmillmich25@gmail.com if you are interested.

I can't say enough how revelatory the Blind Review method is. Personally, I think this methodology itself was worth what I paid for the Testmasters course. I feel a pang of despondency having hammered through so many questions through that course without any constructive and pertinent thought. Hopefully, most of you have not had the displeasure of going through the same mistake!

Happy studying! :)

Hey All! I'm looking for a study partner to review concepts and go over PTs. I live in Long Island but would be willing to come into the city to meet up or we could talk via Skype. I'm scoring in the high 150's and am shooting for 165+. Taking the LSAT in June. Email me if interested vjgogia@gmail.com

Best,

Vijay

Lately, anecdotal evidence has me thinking that the LSAT skews more toward the later answer choices (D and E) in what seem to be harder questions. I wonder if anyone has run some simple statistical analysis on this, and this would seem to be the site that does it.

Here's a few research questions that might yield interesting results (or not):

-For LR, taking the last 10 questions of all sections that have been released and taking a look at the distribution of correct answer choices. Is there a skew toward D or E?

-For RC, take the last 2 questions of each passage that has been released and look at the distribution of correct answer choices. Is there a skew toward D or E?

-For both of the above. Instead of just looking at the distribution, one thing I have noticed is that on many of the more difficult questions, LSAC tends to insert a misleading answer toward the beginning while the correct answer is at the end. This tactic exploits a psychological tendency that people have called "priming" where a given stimulus (like a tempting but wrong answer choice) shapes the way a test taker views later information. So for all questions in which more than 15% of test takers wrongly chose A or B, what is the distribution of correct answer choices? Is there a skew toward D or E?

The last research question is especially helpful because it provides a vital piece of information when you've narrowed down answer choices toward the end. It's a more pointed way at educated guessing than blinding picking D or E. I'd love to hear what people find, if anything.

I'm looking for a study buddy or buddies to review via skype. We can work out a study regimen that works for both parties. Please reach out only if you've gone through most of the curriculum and are well-versed in the 7sage concepts. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I'm just wondering if there are some people from the PHX area that are taking the June LSAT that are willing to meet up for maybe 2-4 hrs weekly. It doesn't even have to be that long, but just a couple of people getting together to discuss tactics (lol, i feel weird saying this about a test) and their best practices. Let me know please. Thanks!

the June test is right around the corner. i'm still doing horribly in sequencing games. still not being able to make the inferences i need to in order to score better. what are your methods to improve this. i try to drill without looking at the video explanations, so that i can recognize patterns and gather inferences on my own but it doesn't seem to be working. advice please?!?!?!

Hey yall, going to dedicate this whole summer to study for the test! Was wondering if there are any other motivated kiddos focused on kicking this test's ass. I live just outside the loop on the southside and I'm willing to meet anywhere central or in Pearland.

let me know! robertkgarcia@utexas.edu

Hey so as the title says, I'm looking for a study partner.

I ask for the higher score because I think it'd be nice to study with someone that has a better understanding than you. This doesn't necessarily mean I am looking for a free tutor or something though - I've actually got a tutor from TLS I'll be working with soon (and have worked with in the past). I've been studying for a while now, my last PT was 156 and this was months ago, during my school semester. I studied a lot during my last summer and into my school semester a bit (wanted to take in december) but didn't quite get the score I wanted on PT's so didn't bother writing in addition to getting caught up with school work that took precedent over LSAT studying so I did what I could to maintain.

I am again however, hoping to write in december. I think this time will be a lot better for me since I don't have to spend a most of my time figuring out what the hell I was doing in the first place, and can spend these months drilling - which is where the partner comes in. I think it'd be good for things such as LR (over skype) or discussing general strategies for the test.

If anyone scoring well would be interested, just reply below.
