Hi,
I’m seeking a tutor to help me prepare for the July exam. I’ve been studying on my own with 7Sage for awhile, but with the exam nearing I’m hoping that a tutor will (1) motivate me to commit more, regular time to studying until the big day and (2) help me understand some of the more difficult questions that are keeping me from getting the 170+ score that I’m aiming for consistently.
I think it’d be most helpful to have someone who scored in the mid-to-high 170s, since I’m occasionally scoring in that range. I’d prefer in person, if possible but would be happy to do this over phone/Skype also.
Please message me if you think you could help out! Thanks in advance.
Hey all,
I'm a 1st-year med student currently studying for the LSAT to potentially apply for an MD/JD program. I'm running through the studying materials here and enjoying them, but I'm also pretty tight on time for LSAT studying (June 2019). Does anyone have any high-yield recommendations that worked for them/ways to get through materials and to practice questions faster?
Thanks!
I live in NYC where there's good testing centers and horrible ones. The first time I took the LSAT I signed up really early, and there were scarce options (I don't know why). I ended up having to drive to Staten Island in crazy traffic in the morning. Now, instead, I monitor the testing centers and see which ones are opening up. Sometimes people drop and a center that was full now has availability. Also, a testing center that wasn't available suddenly appears. Yesterday, I was thinking I was going to have to drive to Staten Island again, and then, lo and behold, Queens College appears today. I'm so thankful I was patient.
Working hard on MBT questions but I cannot get the Quickview or Answer drop downs to work. Is the system down for maintenance, and if so, when will it be back up? Thank you!!
What's up guys! After finishing the CC, how did you approach studying for the logical reasoning section? What worked? What didn't work? Thanks in advance.
Has anyone tested at this hotel? Its out of my area so I'm just wondering if anyone has experience here, considering it for July.
Thanks!
I did the LSAT in January and I have a huge stack of unmarked printed questions (all sections) that I didn't get to during my test preparation. About 200-300 pages in total. I am based in Glassell Park and if anybody in the North East LA area would like them I can drop off or leave on my front porch. Apologies to the moderators if this posting is not allowed.
I'd love to know progress from people on the waitlist, and to know what schools are starting to pull applicants off the waitlist.
When using Google Chrome, I sometimes experience issues with videos not loading, and sometimes the videos stutter as well. I have tried clearing out my cache, but that hasn't helped the situation. Is there any advice on what I should do?
Hey, I’ve moved on to BRing only circled questions, which is a lifesaver.
BR score actually went up after only doing circled questions because I’m not changing from right to wrong, and it takes me half the time I used to spend on reviewing LR section.
However, I decided to do the rest of the questions before grading, and want to record it separately from my 1st BR score.
I thought I could enter 3rd ACs in the answer sheets because tapping the Q number again after saving it showed 3rd bubble.
But when I saved the 3rd bubble, it just changed my BR score without saving the previous selection...
Is there something I have to check in my account to save them? is there an option to do that at all?
Thank you, and good luck to everyone taking the test on next Monday!!
Hey guys,
Has anyone experienced a score reduction when taking the digital LSAT compared to their physical LSAT scores? I am quite nervous about taking the digital LSAT because I am a person who loves to mark up the paper when doing RC and LR. I find that it keeps me more focused.
I have taken a couple individual RC and LR sections digitally and have found that my scores in those sections have dropped a couple points due to (I think) the inability to physically circle/draw arrows/etc. on the passage or stimulus. Any tips on transferring physical LSAT habits to the digital LSAT?
Thanks!
Is anyone taking the LSAT at Convene at 32 old slip and know directions to get there?
Also does anyone know what kind of a place it is/took the LSAT there previously? I signed up to take it in Fordham and they changed my test location.
Hi everyone, I’m looking for a tutor in the NYC area, preferably a tutor that can meet in person. I need help particularly with logic games and I also need some help with the logical reasoning.
I saw only one review. And it mentioned long tables, however, in Angell Hall there are only the little pop-up tables. How will this work for the digital LSAT?
Anyone taking LSAT at Brookdale Community College, NJ?
So I just registered for the September 2019 LSAT on BYU's campus. I'm trying to find out where on campus the test is actually administered, but I can't find anything. Is that something that I won't be able to find out until I can print my admission ticket? Any information is appreciated! Thanks!
Hi all,
I started studying for the lsat two months ago, although I’m ramping it up now (originally studied about 10-15 hours a week, trying to aim for 20 now) and I’ve mostly been sticking to the Khan Academy material. I’d like to branch out to more paper resources now though, I’m finding that I likely don’t perform as well digitally since I work better on paper, what resources do you recommend? I plan on buying the lsat trainer today since reddit seems to rave about it, and supplement with 7sage content as per suggestions, what else can I do to improve?
I got a 149 diagnostic and I’m aiming for a score between 160-165 at my lsat in late Sepetember, planning on taking the lsat again next summer as well. What are your thoughts on this plan? What should I keep in mind? I know a lot of past comments have been made about keeping your expectations realistic being imperative. Keep in mind I’m in Canada and the 160-165 range is around lsat averages here, i’m not aiming for scholarships.
As well, also interested more in Logical Reasoning content than logic games since I seem to do well in logic games.
Thanks in advance!
Drill packs are a bit overwhelming. I understand that quality is better than quantity when it comes to studying. So I want to pace myself in the most practical way as possible.
I am studying 5 days week.
I could use a little structure when it comes to LG, LR, and RC sections.
Can anyone recommend a daily and weekly study schedule for drill packs 1-16?
Thank you so much for your advice.
Can we lay the tablet flat on the desk/table? It makes a big difference for me in reading comprehension.
Can someone please explain the "Model" that's presented on answer keys for each section? i.e., "This is a model of scaled LSAT scores vs probability of getting the question right."
Is it just showing that, for example, if the grey bar had 141 - 150 - 160 and the percentage for the correct AC was 85% then that means 85% of people who scored a 160 got that question correct or what?
Thanks
I am writing the exam in July and September. Based on my diagnostics, I am pretty average in all sections and LG is not as intuitive for me so I am currently foolproofing LG by type (as in drilling all games in PTs 1-9, 10-19..20-29 in order*). I am on week 2 of this studying regimen. I plan to transition to foolproofing PT section by PT section and then doing timed sections after registering and reinforcing inferences for each game type. I am currently doing 2 PTs worth every day but finding this to be difficult since I am averaging 5 Games past target time and/or not at 100% accuracy.
*- I am drilling like this:10 Seq, 5 In-Out, 8 Grouping etc. some of the miscellaneous games turned out to be the other general games in disguise that I previously foolproof but others are just super old LSAT games that may show up on recent LSATs in some form (give or take 5-7 games that I am not doing for every 9 games so far).
What I'm doing:
LG by Type X-X
Attempt Game
1st attempt Under Time and 100% accurate: Do game a month from now
If not, do it again that day, and then at the end of the week
2nd attempt Under Time and 100% Accurate same day: do game at the end of the week
2nd attempt NOT Under Time and/or 100% Accurate same day: watch JY's video, do that game same day, then repeat that game on the weekend
Weekend Day 1: 1st Attempt Under Time and 100% accurate: Review game 2 weeks later
Weekend Day 1: 1st Attempt NOT Under Time and 100% accurate: Watch video and do game again, and do it again next day of weekend
Weekend Day 2: 1st Attempt Under Time and 100% accurate: Review game 1 week later
Weekend Day 2: 1st Attempt NOT Under Time and 100% accurate: Do Game 2X the following week
So based on this information...
How many games per day would make my review optimal (currently doing about 8 right now, but slowing down)?
Any suggestions and/or tips for full-time studying in general?
I am taking the July exam but aiming to be most prepared for the September exam. I have the most potential to improve on LG games so I am foolproofing these until the July exam with maybe some LR and RC practice beforehand.
Hello! I'm scheduled to take the LSAT this coming Sunday, and am based abroad so have limited access to test prep materials (they're difficult to have shipped here). As a result, I've been studying for months with prep tests into the 60's, but not above. I've been doing well overall - my past ten PT's have averaged at 175. But I just purchased ebook versions of PT's in the 80's, and am noticing a significant drop in my LR score (typically 0 or -1, down to -3 to -4).
I'm now wondering if I would be selling myself short by taking the test this Sunday, and if I would be better off waiting until September and having more time to review recent test materials. This would be my second time taking the LSAT, and I will be applying to law school this cycle.
Any and all advice would be very appreciated!
I like taking timed individual sections (as opposed to a full PT) and BRing/Reviewing them right after. As of now, the digital tester does not allow you to grade individual sections. So for now I'm going to be doing it the old fashioned way (on paper).
My question is as follows: Should I use a bubbling sheet when taking these timed sections? Is doing it without it going to inflate my score? I was thinking that ditching the scantron is closer to what the digital LSAT is like where that is not necessary.
Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!
Good evening all,
I'm primarily posting to find advice to reach my score goal (likely just like everyone else). I started prep one month ago, first score 144 with equally bad scores on each section. My preperation thus far has included taking 1-2 timed 4 section LSAT's each week with at least one section a day, working through a portion of a kaplan book (dropped because i didn't love their LG method; brother took the course and i got the book for free), a couple insight lsat videos on youtube and 7sage LG explanations. I've taken 8(?) timed lsats and have gotten my score up to a consistent 157. My scores on each section are pretty consistent, 17 to 18 right on each section. I'm fairly confident I'll be able to get my LG score up to around 20 right each time, but I'm looking for advice on what section to focus on i guess. I haven't really done Blind Review at all, is it that helpful? The score I need is a 164. I'm looking to get into U Denver law (Sturm) with a 2.77 ugpa. I'm halfway through my MBA program at a low ranked school with a 4.0 GPA. I like the school because I'd like to live in denver and work in the private sector there or somewhere in that region. Any thoughts on methods or important sections to focus on? Or general thoughts at all? Taking the july lsat and working fulltime/ going to school. Still i reasonably have 1-2 hours a day i can focus on it and 4-5 on saturday/sunday. Thanks in advance.
Hello All,
I am sitting for the July LSAT and I had two questions for everyone.
For those who have sat in the past, what method did you find most effective after you have exhausted most PTs with thorough BR? I have four PTS left and I am scoring where I want to. I understand that there is less than a month until the July exam and I want to avoid burnout, but I am also worried about becoming too relaxed and not staying on top of my studies, so I am conflicted on the best approach I should take regarding my study habits during the next few weeks.
For those sitting for the July exam, what strategy are you employing as we wind down the days until the exam?
All feedback is extremely helpful! Sending good vibes to all July testers! Thanks.
