Thanks so much! Although probably won't get a message, I might just treat myself to some victory ice cream to celebrate our kicking some LsAT butt this Saturday :)

I was actually at the library when I posted and now I'm on my way home without opening my book once. I've done all that I could. Time to follow some great advice and rest up!

Is this Burnout? What do I do?

Hey Guys,

I know that this topic has been beaten to a pulp but I thought that I probably couldn't hurt to write it again (to at least help me feel better). But what's been happening is that I've been studying intensively for about 7 months now (25-35 hours a week) after working full time. Everything was really good and I took the June 2015 LSAT. I took a break in June and restarted my push for October starting in July. Everything was still going smoothly, I took PTs and BR every day.

Now, I'm looking at PT 73, PT 74, and PT 75 (my June 2015 LSAT that I haven't looked at since test day..just so I can crush my old nemesis before going to handle business this Saturday!). But when I sat down to read the RC for 72, I was blanking. Didn't understand a single word. Got really frustrated and mad at everything and just gave up. I think the pressure is finally getting to me. I'm averaging at like 172 but it's been taking a dip lately.

Is this the classic example of Burnout? And how should I go about trying to overcome it before this Saturday???

SOS. HELP!

Thanks so much again, everyone

What also helped me a lot was to "Trust the Curve!"...no, seriously.

When I hate a disgustingly hard game, i tend to notice that either a) one of the other sections is easier..or b) the curve is much better. So I end up not to far from my average PT scores! So if you find a hard game this Saturday, pump through that knowing that there's an easier section somewhere ahead (or a better curve)!

Pace is a great school, and you're going to have such a great time going to school in the city (I went to NYU for undergrad)!! As for your crappy pre-law adviser, there's probably a good reason he/she is advising and not actually practicing law...(no disrespect to the great advisers out there, because there are many!)

I'm still not entirely sure why Section 1, Question 13, Choice D is incorrect. Although, I see why E is the correct answer, I can't seem to find the flaw in Choice D to cross it off. Isn't D saying that even when courts punish companies, it can still benefit the local economy?

No, not while the time is running. I suggest that you take advantage of the 7Sage Procter because it's exactly the same as the proctor on Test Day.

"Please, put your pencils down. You will have 35 minutes to complete Section 2 only. During this time..blah blah...Turn to Section 2, read the directions and start working NOW." (time starts).

LR Mumble Jumble

Hey Fellow 7Sagers,

Just wanted to ask you a question about something that I've been seeing throughout Logical Reasoning questions and oftentimes, answer choices as well. What's a good way to remember what testmakers are talking about when they say "Confuses _____ for/with _____"??

For example:

B) LSAC confuses a necessary condition for a sufficient conditions.

Does this mean that what is meant to be a necessary condition is being mistaken by LSAC as a sufficient condition?....or vice versa...?

So should I remember this as whatever comes after "Mistakes/Confuses a _____" to be what is correct and that the author is mistakenly thinking of it as whatever comes after "...for a ____"?

Sorry for the extremely confusing explanation and wording....

CONGRATS! WE MADE IT THROUGH OCTOBER!!

I had 3 LRs:

LR (easy)

LR (hard)

LR (medium)

I'm hoping that the 2nd LR was the experimental.....I just remember that the 3rd one had a disagree question, in which one of the guys name was like "Jung Soo" (I only remember because i was thinking 'korean represent'!) the same one also had the one about ancient birds with hissing.

I'm hoping that the one with Newspapers and when they should publish certain things, was the experimental...

anyone???

LSAT Exam Locations

Hey 7Sagers!

So today, I decided to officially register myself for the June 2015 sitting but was in for a surprise. I realized that the place where I wanted to take the Exam, Georgetown LC (where I currently study), was all full. This is shocking because I've seen it been open even until the month before, but I guess it was super popular this time around.

Does anyone know any other good exam sites in the DMV area? Also, I feel like it would be really helpful to everyone if we all shared where we previously taken our exams and if you recommended it to everyone! (not just in DC, but anywhere!)

Although I've heard that test locations matter, the attorney that I work with said that she took her LSAT (and her bar exam) at UMD- College Park, which is known to be a less-than-optimum location...but she ended up at HLS and said that in the end, it's just an exam center. So we shouldn't think too much into it, but i'm sure it will help!
