Hey everyone, is the best way to follow the CC just to go from top to bottom ?
And if so, are some of the topics laid out in the wrong order ?
I have routinely encountered videos or topics ( Parallel method of reasoning ) for example. Where JY says its the last or highest section of LR. But, I still have many other question types etc still to do below it. like necessary assumption question type. Did they rearrange the video order or something ? Im honestly confused and want to be learning the question types in the proper order, due to the fact that the topics snowball together ! Please help or advise !
Hello,
i would like to know how do you BR RC. Do you guy write an explanation for every question?
Does anyone want to help keep me accountable? Like spam me lsat stuff :)
HI all,
My friend has been pushing me to take this test this year. She went to T14 so her words carry some weight but I feel conflicted. !f you could share some of your thoughts it will be greatly appreciated!
Quick history of my preparation:
I studied LR for 3 months and I am at -8 to -12.
I studied LG for 3 months and I am at -4 to -0
However, I have not taken a single RC section. I have read all RC passages from PT1 to PT35 and watched all JY's explanation videos for these but my reading time for passages is anywhere from 4 to 6 minutes with comprehension level of 3 out of 5. It's not where it needs to be for me to do well in this section imo.
Also, my stamina is not that great. After doing LR translations for 3 sections I am fried.
I can't imagine taking additional LG and RC section on top of this during the real LSAT.
My goal score is 164+ Here's the dilemma:
If I take the 3-section Flex (November) I can take advantage of the shorter test but I wont be ready.
If I take the 5-section 'Real' (sometime next year) I plan on studying for 6 more months but I know I wont be able to perform as well because my stamina is terrible (which may or may not improve)
The best scenario is if LSAC decides to do Flex for some tests in 2021 but this is of course not guaranteed. I personally think there's a high probability that LSAC will do flex for earlier tests next year so I'm very tempted to wait.
P.S.
Those who are tired and feel like giving up, I am right there with you! My translation for a single LR section sometimes take 1-2 hours. I have stagnated and felt depressed about lack of progress too but I'm learning to appreciate even the smallest of improvements (small is not so small!). Celebrate these incremental improvements and keep fighting! I believe we will all be where we want to be at the end :).
Cheers,
I find myself understanding this concept, but I can't do the timed problem sets under the time given. Does anybody have any outside resources they'd like to share?
Hi everyone,
I am trying to register for the LSAT but it is requiring me to provide a fax number. But I dont have a fax... Has anyone run into this problem? How were you able to register?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Hey 7sagers,
Probably going to start law school in the fall at Dalhousie (https://www.dal.ca/faculty/law.html). Just wanted to know if there are any books, online courses, prep materials that you would recommend I could perhaps go through in the summer to help me get prepd.
Any help in advance would be awesome.
I remember the highlight feature was pretty buggy on the digital tablet form of the test (pre-covid). Is the highlight feature more reliable with the flex? I'll be using a wireless mouse.
Hey,
Planning on taking the October flex. I am PTing around 146-150 with goals of hitting around a 160 by October. If anybody would like to be my study buddy or even be a part of a study group. Please let me know!
Hi all! Just a quick question here. I know your face must be visible for the entire LSAT-Flex. Does your tabletop need to be visible as well, or only shown during room scan? My webcam has a clear view of my face, but not of my hands or desktop while I write on scratch paper. I wasn't able to find anything about this, but just wanted to check.
I currently use an external monitor as the only view of my screen - my laptop remains closed while I am using it and cannot be used as a split-screen. This passed the ProctorU software sweep. Just wanted to make sure - is this okay?
Thanks everyone! Good luck October takers :)
I wonder if I could register us lsat flex test while taking it in other country
I normally score pretty well on my lsat, however like a lot of people I did horribly on the lg. my question is if I score for the sake of arguing that I score 146 , but in December I score 166, what are my chances of getting into a good school?
So I've nailed logic games, I've implemented a new strategy for LR where I pay more attention to structure and ive been doing better so far, but my RC is totally screwed up. A) a lot of the time I don't get to every question, and B) most of my mistakes are from Inference and Authors Perspective questions.
I make the right answer choices during BR but I just can't seem to time myself correctly.
Should I spend more time on timed RC which would lead to less time on LR and LG review? I don't plan on doing BR for RC , I feel like LR skills translate into skills needed for RC questions. But my timing is way off. I took PT 63 and got a 167 but I missed like 5-8 questions in total, and rushed RC making stupid mistakes just to get to the next question. I feel like I can't retain enough info to be able to make inferences ...I go back and skim portions of the passage to affirm my inferences. Should I rely more on skimming and going back during questions or nailing it after the first pass?
I've been experiencing a lot of technical issues with the question bank. Regardless of how many questions I choose, only half will actually load. It's also not possible for me to choose multiple question types in LR.I tried google chrome, firefox, and safari.
Is anyone else having issues as well?
On a few of my blind reviewed sections, I have actually performed worse than my timed sections. Most of my errors are due to a lack of confidence, overthinking, or a lack of true understanding of the reasoning.
Does anyone have any thoughts/advice on the following in terms of BR?
Can someone please confirm that 7Sage's LSAT/GPA calculator is NOT updated with 2020 rankings when providing "predictions?" I see on US News some of the median LSATs seem to have gone down? (i.e., Georgetown 168 here but 167 on LawSchoolNumbers). Is that true?
Does anybody know the deadline to change your test date from November to January?
Thought I'd reach out to see if there's anyone here writing about veganism/vegetarianism in their personal statements who'd be interested in discussing how they're going about it!
Is there anyone in Alabama studying for the LSAT? It's really hard to do this alone. Online support is fine, but I live in a small rural town and have been hoping to find someone within the state to help each other out with LSAT prep. So, anyone out there?
Hi all - I'm taking the LSAT for the first time and I'd love to find a study buddy to stay motivated and on schedule. Let me know if you're interested!
So i saw someone else with this idea for CC, i hope he/she doesnt mind that i am borrowing the idea.
I am currently in my PT/ intensive phase. I have already finished the CC and foolproofed games 1-35.
If anyone is interested in picking LR and RC sections from 7-50s to intensively review and speak out the underlying principles, i would love to listen and exchange ideas.
I find that, when it comes to this test everyone has strengths and things they can bring to the table, i would love to hear and try to employ yours and reciprocate if i can.
I will be studying full time come the end of this week. Comment and PM if your interested in a phone call or chat
Hey guys,
I'm wondering if anyone has any advice or tips they can offer me with regards to these Logical reasoning question types. I'm currently PT'ing at around 170 and I typically get -2 on LR but it seems that these two areas are my weakest. I've watched the videos on them but it still seems like there is something I'm missing, especially since this is considered one of the easier more basic types.
I need a tutor to improve my LSAT.Thanks !
So I have been studying for a few mmonths and just finished the core curriculum and I was wondering whether I should use all of the preptests or not. I have considered that I may have to take the LSAT a second time and was wondering whether I should leave a few of the preptests in pristine condiditon for potential later studying? for people who have taken a second LSAT what did you do and what would you recomend in studying for the first one and potentially for a second one
Hey - I'm looking for someone to review problem sets or practice exams. I'm on EST and can review on weekends or weeknights. Please let me know if anyone is interested. My email is Nocera4@tcnj.edu
