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

In AP type questions, what would ideas introduced with these types of phrases be considered? Conceding points that would seem contrary to the conclusion being argued for yet implied that they are not sufficient to wreck the conclusion the author is going for? in other words, points of concession?

Are the sub game boards necessary for this last game?

Thanks!

So I am taking the LSAT in June, and am nearing the end of the curriculum here. 7sage offers 9 LSATs in the Starter kit but I am assuming I will need more to prepare with. I have 40 LSATs which I've purchased, but I've already done 90% of them pre-7sage. My question is, if I completed an LSAT 3 or 4 months ago, is it really bad to erase it all and then take it again? I seem to see a lot of stigma against repeating LSATs. There is good reason for this, I'm guessing, because if you remember questions, you are not getting a real measure of your success. However, it seems to me that if I took a test 3 months ago, I'm not really going to remember many details about it (especially considering I was taking the tests without heavy analysis at that point). So, it seems to me that I could take one of these completed LSATs and erase the whole thing, and then retake as if it was an untaken LSAT. It would be pretty beneficial for me to have all these tests available to me again, but I might be missing something. Is there some very good reason I shouldn't retake old LSATs?

After practicing logic games for about 4 months, my biggest challenge is concentration. I would sometimes miss a rule or would mix up the sequence of variables. Is it common? I've started to think that maybe I have ADD. Is there any rule of thumb to make sure that you don't make little mistake that mess up the whole game?

I started going through each lesson in order. But I skip the example questions and go to all the explaining of the subjects. I want to go through the examples at the same time I am taking a test so I can see and compare my answers and approaches with the examples. (Does this make sense?)

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! :)

Hi,

I had a problem getting videos on this site to play at first, I changed my settings to use flash instead of html5 and this fixed that problem. I am now, however, having an issue with the videos loading extremely slowly. I'm running a macbook pro OsX 10.9.1, firefox and all plugins are up to date. I'm not having with problem with any other videos. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Recently started with a practice test a week and interested in what your normal spread between your timed test conditions and blind review are? My normal is 7-10 extra points, but my last test I got 15 extra points. A lot of it is because I frequently run out of time with the logic games sections, still working on those.

I'd be interested in your experiences and whether you've found the gap narrowing as you get more experience...

When circling answers into the bubble sheet or practice sheet, do you recommend going by every answer or waiting until 5 minutes then transferring them? I have heard both from different sources. I want to use my time wisely.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask everyone what are my chances for my targeted law school.

Here is my brief resume

I took Feb LSAT and received 161.

I also graduated from UCLA with GPA 3.65 as Political Science Major.

After graduating from UCLA, I worked at a Law Office for a year.

Then, I am currently enlisted in South Korea Air Force to complete my duty.

Since I am international student and my family is currently having financial difficulty,

I HAVE to receive scholarship from law schools.

I am planning to apply to schools like Loyola Marymount, Pepperdine, and UCSD.

I want to go to schools like UCLA and USC but I know my LSAT score is not good enough.

Here is loyola admission rate.

For the fall 2013 entering class our LSAT range is:

25th% = 156

50th% = 159

75th% = 161

The GPA range is:

25th% = 3.30

50th% = 3.47

75th% = 3.62

In your opinion, what are my chances to get scholarship from schools like Loyola and Pepperdine?

and how much would it be?

Hey guys,

I was wondering if any of you have, or know anyone, who has read books on formal logic. Periodically, i have read in blogs of people reading books on formal logic that gave them a great understanding of logic games and logical reasoning. However, the posts i saw did not include book titles, nor did they include how boring the books may be (although that could be good prep for reading comp as well!). Any feedback is appreciated and any ideas for additional external reading for improvement is welcomed.

How often do you guys take a practice test? Especially for those taking the LSAT in June?

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'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?

With my improved LSAT score (thanks 7sage) I got into a law school with a partial scholarship. I emailed back for more funds. They tripled the scholarship. A number of the forums recommend doing this around seat registration time.

I'll be taking a PT every other day in the library up until June.

Anyone want to join in on the fun? I use the 7SAGE app to proctor my tests.

Tomorrow is PT 37.

Once we have cut out question like JY said and drill, Do you time your self, when drilling these weaknesses?

If not, would you at least start timing these after drilling these to a point where you can usually answer them correctly?

I know this sounds intuitive, but I just want to make sure that people agree with me in that you should master your weaknesses (un-timed) first, before you start drilling these problem sets timed.

I’ve been blind reviewing (i.e. doing the non-circled timed question) a second round un-timed, and I found myself correcting my error and noting the trap I fell for. I feel as though I do not circle these, as I fall for the LSAT trap answer choice.

Do you not suggest we take a second shot at the non-circled questions before we check the answer? Or perhaps I should just be stricter on my 100% certainty approach and start circling more questions?

In essence, does anyone know if we should be doing a second un-timed stab at our confidence errors during timed practice?

I am getting a html5 video error on the video lessons. This wasn't happening yesterday. Any advice????

My biggest problem ATM is finishing logic games...I'm not sure if practicing finishing LG in less than 35 min (~30 min) wouldn't be counterintuitive though. But at the same time, it may force me to be more aggressive in my methodology toward games. Does anyone have experience with this method?

Hi guys,

I am just wondering what scores people here shoot for? I wonder if an average person can get into 90 percentile by virtue of hard work. Or is 170+ goal is mostly for someone with a couple of Master's degrees or a Ph.D.?

I know someone who got 170 on LSAT and got her tuition waived by UPenn. It really inspired me to get the highest score possible. I just don't know what goal is realistic.

J.Y. or someone at 7sage: are there preptest pdfs available pre-LSAT 36? I know that questions from those tests are built into the course, but it would be nice to have the entire test to download so that we can print out and practice multiple times, i.e. the games set from test 24, etc. Thanks.

Have you guys found it normal to have super varied scores? My first test after taking the course I got a 165. The next test I took I got a 155, then a 157, and now back to a 164.

Any suggestions?

Hey guys! I'm new here, and I am seeking some advice.

I'm debating what kind of prep I should do before the Sep/Oct LSAT.

I have done a condensed Kaplan online course before (a mistake), but that was awhile ago, so I don't remember all too much from it.

I was wondering...is all the material on 7sage (i.e. premium) ENOUGH to prep for the LSAT? Did any of you supplement the course with Powerscore bibles or Manhattan books?

I know a lot of people have used other programs before switching over to 7sage...has the acquired knowledge from other companies helped you with your 7sage experience?

Thanks!!
