Hey everyone, I recently wrote a personal statement and I would truly appreciate it if someone could review it for me. Please be very critical when you critique what I have wrote.
Admin note: edited title (no all caps please!)
Thank you guys for your comments! They have gave me a lot of insight on the approach to take.
Can I still be added?
Oh yeah I forgot to mention that my goal is a perfect score. I need to get in the 160s first though.
Okay, I took the Powerscore course which seemed to work pretty well. I end up scoring a 155 on the June LSAT. I was unsatisfied with my score so I asked somebody who took the same class what they did to get in the 170s. He suggested the Powerscore was a good course but that they left out a lot of information the 7 Sage covers. I took some time and have been working games using JY's method. This month, I enrolled in the 7 sage course and I've been working diligently getting through lessons. I took the optional diagnostic test and I scored a 145. I almost died seeing that score so low. I have definitely been internalizing everything I have been learning after seeing that diagnostic. Changing the way I think to conform to how the LSAT expects you to think. My first question is should I be worried that I scored that low? My second question is should I be taking prep test and blind reviewing during the 7 Sage course.
Hey, I have been thinking about writing my personal statement about athletics. I played Division 1 football in college and have learn many life lessons. As hard as I try to get away from this topic, the hardest challenges I have faced are involved with being on the gridiron. Do you think a paper about being as student athlete would be a good personal statement? Or maybe about challenges faced during games. Please let me know what you all think.
Can someone please explain why answer choice A is correct.
My understanding from the reading of 43-48 is that biologist were transformed into the new discipline of Molecular Biology. It makes me think two things.Either that they simply revised the old discipline of molecular biology. Or they former a new disciple of molecular biology that was not around yet.
Please help me with this question because I eliminated A based on the fact that I thought that molecular biology might had already been around and that this discover just furthered the already existing discipline making it the new discipline.

Finish your CC if you have not already finished it. Then start from game 1-35 and full proof over and over. Your goal is to be perfect at the games section and that takes repetition. Then practice what you have learned in your CC. Then you get accurate in applying those CC skills and consistently get the answers correct in LR . It helps if you can prephase an answer before you get to the answer choices. Once you start getting accurate with your answer choices then you can start doing timed sections to improve your timing. This will help you get faster at recognizing the logical relationships.
Okay, so I am glad you came into this discussion. First off I lied this may not be the an awesome personal statement, but with your help it could be. I need someone to take apart my paper and make sure it has all of the elements needed to make this a awesome personal statement. Please be critical so I can go back and make revisions on this paper. I appreciate anyone willing to take the time and evaluate my work.
Okay my breakdown today on LSAT preptest 45 was -2 in LG,-10 in RC, -8 in first LR, and -9 in the other logical reasoning section.
How do I get in the 160 plus club? I know about blind review and I am doing it. I know some of you are going to say, "It just takes time," and I am aware of that fact. Like perhaps many of you, my ultimate goal would be to score a perfect 180. First I need to score in the 160s ,and right now I am consistently in the 156 range. I know there are no short cuts to achieve greatness but somethings got to change. If your someone who has been in this range, and has improved I would love to hear what you have got to say about making this transition. I know there is no simple prescription I would appreciate any advice at this point.
Just wanted to know if most people diagram the logic in must be true in searching for valid argument forms?
Yes, thanks! This helps a lot actually. It took me a couple times to understand what you were saying, but now I get it. Basically I need to check them all, and not eliminate based solely on the necessary condition not matching up in the answer choices.
Just want to clear up something about principle questions. If the principle says something like, " One ought not make promises, if one knows they cannot fulfill the promise. In the answer choices are we only looking for the answer choice that say ,"One ought not do," thus eliminating all answer choices that says, "One ought to do."
Please let me know if you understand what I mean, and can answer this question.
Congratulations! As a fellow 7 Sager are there any tips you could share.
