Please let me know if you're planning to attend tonight!

Reminder: Next week's call (PT 71) is Thursday, 10/5/17 at 8pmEST.

@ @ @ @ @ Here is the info for our call tonight. If you plan on joining, please DM me so I can send you the link to the Discord chat/call.

Hi @. Definitely! We are reviewing PT 65 tonight at 8pm EST if you have any interest in joining. Otherwise, I will post the test for next Thursday this weekend.

@ I will add you to the thread. Hope you can join us! Check your inbox :)

@ In a similar boat...I'm interested to see what others think of your plan of attack. What is your avg BR score?

I live in Jersey but I take PTs on weekends in Manhattan almost every weekend. I'd be interested in joining depending on what days/times you're thinking. I'll keep my eyes peeled for more info...

@ @ @ @ @ No problem! Check your inbox. :)

@ @ @ @.ruqaiia @ @ @ @ @ Of course! Check your inbox for schedule and call-in information. Let's do this!!! :)

@ @ yes, no problem! Sorry for the delay :)

@ Done! Thank you. :)

@ Check your inbox.

@ We are asking that everyone complete the 7Sage core curriculum before joining the study group so that everyone is in a position to contribute to the growth and learning of the others in the group. This will put you in a position to get the most out of the study group as well since we will be referring to the CC and BR methods outlined by J.Y. extensively. Let me know if I can answer any other questions!

@ @ @ @

You got it! Check your inbox. :) See you tomorrow night.

I think I heard in one of @ webinars that you should hit your target score 5-10 times before your official test. I've also heard BR scores should be high 170s to 180 range if you're aiming for 170+. Not sure what that translates to if your target score is below or above 170.

@ -- So sorry you didn't hear sooner. Be sure to keep your eye on the December LSAT thread for update on the next review.

@ EST

@ I'll message you! :)

Thanks! Updated. :)

can anyone confirm if LR section with a question about 7pm and 6pm was real?

Agreed, anyone know if this is real or experimental?

Yes, this question was real. I only had 2 LR and I recall having this question.

I was scoring well with PT50-60 improving each test looking to take the september test then I got past PT 63 and felt like there was a huge shift in difficulty. Now I'm aiming for December.

Game to join a study community of some kind! I'm studying full-time from now till then.

Question, are you guys taking practice sections/tests while doing the CC or are you planning on ripping through the CC then fully devoting to tests? I've already been at it since January so I've done a bit of both... just curious what anyone has found to be helpful.

@ I started studying full-time at the end of June and began PTing immediately (starting from the earliest tests I could get my hands on) thinking I would sit for the Sept exam. After about a month, I hit a plateau in low/mid-160s. I signed up for 7Sage at the beginning of August and took about a month to get through the CC. My plan now is to begin PTing 2-3x/week with intense BR (something I wasn't doing before).

From everything I've read on these forums, the general advice is to get through the CC (many do it twice!) before PTing. I would be curious to hear what others think.

@ what about LORs from 6 years ago? I applied to law school in 2011 but did not end up accepting any offers. I am applying this cycle for Fall 2018.

I am happy to begin coordinating schedules. Could everyone post

Days+times available

Any PTs already taken

If someone has experience with 7Sage study groups and could also share how groups typically "meet" (Skype? Google hangout..?), please do.

Rice production is down this year so prices of rice on world markets are up.

Ok… basic economic principle…

Analysts say this increase is because only a small percentage of rice production is sold commercially—government growers control most of the rest of the rice and distribute it for local consumption.

[Conclusion]: Slight changes in production can significantly affect the amount of rice available for the world market because

[support]: so little rice is being traded freely (because of government control (in rice-producing countries))

(A) is incorrect because it doesn’t address the conclusion, let alone weaken. We are trying to weaken the conclusion that because of government controlling rice locally, little is being traded freely, which means amount available on world market is significantly affected. If countries purchase less, how does that affect how much is available? We don’t really know given the premises.

(B) is incorrect because it does not change a) that the amount of rice available for the world market has been affected or b) that the reason for this is because of the government controlling the rice. If anything this choice is closer to strengthen on the spectrum.

(C) is correct because it weakens the analysts claim that “only a small percentage of the world production is sold commercially,” which is used as support for the conclusion that slight changes in production can significantly affect the amount of rice available on world markets.

(D) is the incorrect answer I originally chose because I thought that could somehow affect the analysts claim that “only a small percentage of the world production is sold commercially,” but that can’t be possible since if the government has less to control it still means production in rice-growing countries is down. And if rice-producing countries are now competing in the world market for rice when they otherwise weren’t, there is an even greater shortage of rice, presumably.

(E) is incorrect because importing other crops has no bearing on the availability or prices of rice on the world market.

I feel your pain. I just watched/listened the "Post Core Curriculum Strategies" webinar by Josh and it helped me identify a few changes I can make to break the plateau.

I am taking the December LSAT! I'm surprised there hasn't been much activity in the December forum. Would love to form a study group. What's your status? Have you finished the CC and are you PTing? Which and when is your next PT?

No problem, @. Check your inbox! :)

Can anyone confirm that the $5,000 - $18,000 question about the car dealership was real? I had 3 LR sections and noticed it's not listed on the official real/experimental page.

Yes this was real. I had two LGs and remember this question.
