Looking for those interested in studying for the December/February LSAT in the Greater Boston area!

Yep, that's the question. Thought I'd raise awareness if you didn't know about it. Register through LSAC.

Maybe us 7sagers can get coffee before/after the fair.

Hi There,

Just wanted some on advice on these questions. I'm still having a little difficulty with these questions but am slowly getting better. Im able to see the flaw in the paragraph but have a hard time matching it to another statement. Is this something you just get better at with time?

Cheers,

New York 7Sagers!

A group of NY based 7sagers have arranged to take practice tests on Saturday mornings from now until the December test. I've been planning on doing those tests, but they are in midtown and would require me to get a much earlier start than I'll actually need on test day. I figured we may have enough Brooklyn 7sagers to organize BK practice tests for Saturdays. Anyone interested in joining me for a group practice test on an upcoming Saturday? I've been taking my practice tests in the quiet study area of the Grand Army Plaza Brooklyn Public Library but am willing to relocate!

Obviously most of us know by now that there are a handful of syllogism forms that reoccur over and over throughout the LR. I know that causality is different from conditionality, but I'm wondering how valid argument forms relate to causal arguments? Are these syllogisms applicable to causal arguments at all or are syllogisms applicable only to conditional arguments?

I dismissed A right off of the bat because I've grown skeptical of the word every.

I see now that it makes sense because for Sufficient Assumption Questions you need to find the Answer Choice that GUARANTEES the outcome, so A works. It may be extra strong, but that's ok.

I should have also had my eyes peeled more for tricky answer choices because it is Q. 21

Im finding that Im having trouble passing quizzes (as in getting the results that i desire) at the end of a given section. Im really good at solving the questions correctly while practicing- as in pausing the video before JY explains it so that i can figure out the answer myself. But for some reason during the quiz section, Im not as good. To remedy this, I was wondering that as Ive completed each section, that I should use the practice exams to practice out those specific types of questions and to look at the video explanation for each of those questions. Would anyone suggest this? Has anyone tried this in the past? Please help!

Thanks.

How does adcom view a 3.0 in chemistry or physics versus a 3.5 or 4.0 in Com/English/Business? The grades would be coming from a T30 undergraduate institution with a T10/T5 science program. Thanks.

What do you guys think of taking just the 4 section PT with either no breaks or a short 5 minute break after section 3? Is the experimental section really needed if you have the stamina? Also, it would save wasting sections I haven't used yet. Your thoughts are appreciated!

In my latest simulated full tests, I am trying to implement the suggested theory of skipping a really hard question. How do you define which ones to skip? Should we base it solely on time - if a question is sucking up too much time move on? Or should we decide it as soon as we read it? I find that one I am invested in a question, I want to stay on it. In my last test, I did not feel that skipping the ones that I found difficult helped my test score.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thnks!

If you are in the Orange County area, preferably in Yorba Linda, Anaheim Hills, Irvine, or Fullerton, and would like a study buddy, please get in touch with me. Also, it would be nice if you have not been exposed to PrepTests 62-71, since those are the ones I am about to "indulge" in--and Preptest 73 when 7Sage puts it on sale on Nov 1.

I would love to help you with anything you may have a question on, and likewise, would love to learn anything that you have to teach. I currently get near perfect scores on the games section, do well on the LR sections (usually -3, -4), and am focusing mostly on the RC section, since that is my biggest weakness.

With a group, we can hold ourselves accountable to our study schedule and have fresh eyes to tackle the questions that we missed. Ideally, we will meet up, take a preptest with the 7sage proctor in the background, and then blind review it individually--leaving time to ask questions about the questions that we missed. Or we can split this up to two separate days, day 1: take preptest, day 2: blind review, etc. I am open to suggestions, but would like to get through at least 2 preptests a week.

When you are taking the LSAT, is it in a binded, book-like format (you know, with the spine still attached)? Or is it just stapled on the upper left corner like any other standardized test?

Also, is each section independently separated from the other? Or are they all attached together?

Hi all!

I have been revising my personal statement for a month by now and I think it is good to go. I went to the writing center at my school and while it helped a little, I would really appreciate if I could get objective opinions from two or three people. I want to start sending out applications this week or next week so this is the last piece of the puzzle! I can email it to anyone who is willing and able.

Thanks :)

In the logic games section of the June 2007 LSAT, question 17 of the cruise line game is tripping me up. I know why AC D is right but I can't for the life of me figure out why E is wrong. Maybe I'm missing something obvious? But how can T be visited more than twice since the destinations can't be scheduled for consecutive weeks and J can't go into week 4 with G immediately preceding J

I am retaking the LSAT in December because I had the craziest physical issues occur the night right before the September LSAT and I nearly felt like I was a zombie in the LSAT. If you are in the Philly area and are willing to meet up in person, or if you would like to study via skype, oovoo, google chat, etc. please let me know. I can't afford much tutoring, and I am considering buying the 7Sage Starter kit, but I am going to review again my LSAT Trainer and go over all 40 PT's I have and do this one last time. There's no turning back and I need a motivational group that can all help each other out! The LSAT is an emotional, psychological, and mental game and we need everyone to be there for one another. If you're interested, please let me know. I would be grateful to have people to study and succeed with. We have a little over a month left so let me know ASAP.

Logical Reasoning seems to be the bane of my existence. I WAS scoring in the 158 range, but as preptests go on, I only sit in the range of 150-151. I scored a 150 this morning.

I took some time to really know the Logic Game section when my score started falling. When I was at 158 I was scoring -5 to -10 on LG, but today I scored -2.

I know my Reading Comp sits anywhere from -6 to -10, so I know that that might be the thing that stays constant. I can work to improve upon it, but I don’t anticipate any mass improvements in it. I still do actively read passages, and additional reading on my own.

Okay. So Logical Reasoning. I have tried going through past lessons and doing past questions, but I find now that I know the answer it’s hard to really just look at the reasoning behind it.

During the exam, I can feel myself rushing through every question. And I feel now, after reading a comment in the discussions, that it might be because I’m not focused on getting the question right I’m focused on answering all the questions.

The last prep test, out of 52 Logical Reasoning questions, I got 24 wrong. Which is really a determinate. I got almost the exact number wrong on this exam I took this morning.

Can anyone provide me with some help? I’m taking an LSAT prep course over the weekend, so I hope they’ll help with my understanding of some questions.

I am going to BR my exam today, focusing on the LR sections first, but I want to know what you think would be the best method for studying moving forward? What is your best method for conquering LR?

I study part time. In the morning from 7:00-8:30, lunch from 12-1, and after work from 5:30-8:30 PM. So all-day studying methods aren’t useful for me, unfortunately.

PM me if you're looking to sell yours!

I'm here for a year abroad. However, I want to aim for next year's LSAT and have started studying.

If anyone is up for bi/weekly meetups around Paris that would be cool.

Some of my notes are outdated, and I'd like to delete them. Am I missing something or can they not be deleted?

Looking for Study Buddy in Dallas, Texas

Hello,

I see that on the study schedule, it has LSAT practice exams set out for 12 hours. I am wondering why it says 12 hours when a real exam is only about 3 hours without writing. Can someone please let me know? Thanks.

I know y'all must hear this all the time, but I wanted to personally say thank you once more for all the amazing resources that you provide for *free*! You've made it financially viable for me to work towards pursuing an education I've wanted since about fourth grade. Thanks so much!

I learned about 7sage recently. I'm registered for DEC; how do I make the most of my time at this late date,

Thanks for your help !

Dear 7sagers,

After months of prep, I still have a recurring problem: making careless errors - mostly in the form of misreading LR stimulus and answer choices.

I noticed that I miss a lot of questions from Q20-25. In most instances, I have 8 to 10 minutes left when I get to Q20, so I don't think timing is the major issue. When I blind review them, I don't find them particularly harder than the Q1-15 group (I find Q15-20 the greatest difficulty).

One thing that I noticed time and time again in doing LR sections on actual prep tests is that whenever I check my watch after I hit Q20, I tend to speed up on the last 5 questions. Subconsciously what I'm doing is that I'm trying to finish the section on time, and that causes me rush.

The rushing leads me to read the stimulus too fast without figuring what exactly is going on (i.e. the argument core) before heading to the answer choices. And we all know that this is a recipe for disaster.

So my question is: How do I avoid making these errors? How do I keep my mind absolutely tranquil under the time pressure? Are there specific exercises that I can do to master the art of meticulousless?

Making dumb mistakes is not only a problem for me on the LSAT, it has also been my Achilles Heel ever since grade school. I don't think I'm naturally attuned to details, as I'm more inclined to look at the bigger picture, which I must work on if I want to be a qualified lawyer.

Hi guys! I was wondering if any of you had this set up in the September 2014 LSAT: RC RC LR LG LR. Thanks.
