Thanks Kyle and Nicole for taking the time to reply. I had been studying for three and a half months, and I only used 7Sage material. I had finished 40% of the core curriculum before it was expanded.

Congrats @ nicole.hopkins!!!

Thank you both for taking the time to reply! I'm going to continue through the course and review some of parts on finding the conclusion and premise until my PTs arrive. I've checked on getting the LSAT trainer, but it isn't avaliable in Seoul. Plus, it would take a while for me to get it via Amazon. Thanks!!

Thank you David for doing this!! Thank you 7Sage for putting this together!!

1. Your three-sentence biography. I’m Jamal; I’m a thirty-one year-old African-American male who came back to the States last year after working and living in South Korea for over 8 years upon completing a Fulbright grant. I am currently working as a pawn broker, jeweler, and personal trainer. I’ve always been passionate about setting BIG goals and reaching them; graduating from one of my dream schools is the next BIG goal I’m working to reach.

2. Your biggest worry about your application. 1A) Letter of Recommendation (LOR)-the professor who wrote my LOR for the Fulbright is deceased 1B) Personal Statement-not being able to tell a cohesive story 1A +1B = TIME

3. Two ideas for your personal statement.

1) The first time I every spoke of going to law school was at my uncle and aunt’s house, sitting at their kitchen table, less than a mile away from my dad’s house. This is significant because for 15+ years I silenced that goal because my relationship with my father, who has done well for himself in the field of law, had deteriorated to the point I didn’t want anything to do with anything he was a part of including the law. As my time in S. Korea unfolded, and as I gained new experiences, relearned old life lessons, and shared stories with different people in Korea and in the other countries, I was fortunate to travel to my heart was softened towards my dad, my humanity was increased for others, and my curiosity for the law was reinvigorated.

2) I believe in the promise of America, even though at times its promise has been fleeting to many groups of minorities/majorities throughout its young history. It’s my goal to use the law (and the spirit of the law) to find commonalities that bring more Americans together and get real things done, not just dreams, i.e. Hyperloop. I will work to implement best practices-not just words or stats, which are found outside of the Continental US into productive and effective strategies for the American ethos.

4. Yes, I've made it to the last two. No, we ran out of time during the last call.

It was a great BR call. Thanks for all the help guys and and gals.

Hi David, will a phone number be available for tonight's call?

See ya'll Thursday or Saturday!! #OVOcrew

Thank you DumbHollywoodActor for the clarification.

Thanks josephellengar for the input...I see where you are coming from. Yet, from my understanding, this argument doesn't hinge on "person to person" disagreeing (premise) but on the connoisseurs. Am I mistaken in my reasoning?

Thank you nye8870 the input. It definitely now makes more sense.

@ and @ Silver KUDOS for a job well done!!!! The workshop was engaging and informative!!

Thank you David for doing this!! Thank you 7Sage for putting this together!!

4. Did you attend last time? Did I get to you? Yes. No, I didn’t submit anything.

@ the link will come

David and Nicole offered some fantastic insight on tonights BR workshop. Again, it was easy to be a part of the dialogue and conversation on GotoMeeting. It was solid all around!!

@ I believe someone recorded it using periscope. It might still be up on the discussion forum.

Will be there!

Thank you David and Corey for facilitating the workshop on Active Reading. It was extremely helpful and beneficial. It was one of the smoothest and most interactive webinars I have been a part of. I'm sure some of the credit goes to you two gentleman as well as the GotoMeeting platform that was used. GotoMeeting was easier to interact on, and I had a much better user experience than any webinar platform I have used. To date, I have been a part of webinars on Blackboard, Skype, WebEx, and the webinar platform used by the University of Chicago.

Thanks again for the introduction to GotoMeeting and all the information you gave during the Active Reading session.

@ thank you for the caution, and I agree that parsing out what the stimulus and rules are saying is key. I also see that the reasoning you expressed is true in some cases, but using an identifying word or word pattern (not rule) might be helpful in some other cases, possibly? Maybe using an identifying word or word pattern could lead some to other exercises that sharpen our ability to identify underlying verbiage that's disguised.

Hi Nicole. Thanks for opening this discussion and taking request. The Logic Game Boards Cheat Sheet is pretty awesome, yet I have been thinking how it could become even more awesome and then I came across your post.

I know that "at least" is a key word for 'Grouping Game Board with a chart' as well as "sequence" and "order" being key words for the 'Standard Sequencing Game board'. This led me to wonder if there are other identifying words or word patterns for each of the other examples given on the 'Logic Game Boards Cheat Sheet'?" I think it would be more awesome to add identifying words or word patterns to the already pretty awesome cheat sheet. What do you think?

When I become a guru, I'd be glad to help:-)

I called in with the number and access code on this page, and I haven't been able to hear anything other than some type of bing every 10 seconds. #HelpOVO

It looks like I'll be calling in tonight...American infrastructure woes...

Congrats Nicole - Fantastic!!!

I'm interested in all of them as well.

For some reason, I believed B was the correct answer the first time I read through the answers. However, I read too quickly through the other choices and couldn't quickly find B. In haste, I went with E, bad idea. Time to practice more.
