Hey guys,

So I have the Cambridge packets for LR and I was just wondering what is a "proper" method for drilling weaknesses?

Hey guys,

I'm Muslim, so I observe the 5 daily prayers. I'm concerned that the LSAT next Saturday will interfere with the midday prayer (Dhuhr), and I can't miss it. The window to pray opens at around 12:15 PM and ends at like 2:00 PM. Do you guys think I'll have time to pray after the exam, assuming it starts at like 9:00 AM, and if not, how would I go about praying during the break? It only takes like 5-7 minutes to pray, but it'll be hard to find a location to pray during the break. Should I just ask one of the proctors to take me somewhere in the building so I don't get in trouble for leaving the vicinity of test area? Has anyone else had a similar concern/experience? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys,

I remember seeing someone say it isn't good to do PTs sequentially because when you get to the 70s, scores typically tend to drop significantly. I was thinking about doing 1 in the 60s, then 1 in the 70s, and then keep that same order throughout.

What do you guys think about this idea?

Hey guys,

So, I'm tripping out since the September LSAT is coming up so quickly, and I don't feel ready. When I say I don't feel ready, I know the most common response from everyone will probably be "postpone then" or "don't write until you feel ready," but the score I need to get into my school of choice would be somewhere in the mid 150s. I've posted before, and I've taken all of the advice that everyone has given me, and it definitely helped. However, yesterday I just had a terrible feeling in the 15 minute break of my PT, and I stupidly decided to correct the first 3 sections of the exam, just to see where I was at (I know, I know, really stupid, shouldn't have done it). As my feelings suggested, I got shit on; I got -11 on LG (I KNOW) and I couldn't believe it, I mean, I typically score between -3 and -1, which is OK for me, since I only need to get a 155 to get into the school I want. I got so mad after that, that I threw out the PT I was doing, and left school (where I was studying) and just went home and did nothing. Now, I just feel like shit all of the time, and I keep thinking to myself "what if this happens on game day?" "should I just write and cancel?" I literally have no confidence left. I kind of just want to write a PT and get in my goal range, just to boost my morale a bit. But I am also preparing to write this December as well. I've been doing timed LG sections, and doing well on them, but I just feel in the gutter, and I don't know what to do at this point. Sitting out this cycle is really not an option either, but do you guys think getting a score in the mid to high 150s range this close to game day is possible, given my circumstances? My average PT score is 155, and I wouldn't be so worried if I was in the 160s consistently, but it is what it is.

Now onto the rewrite, so I haven't really used 7sage all that much to study (stupid, I know, but as you guys can tell, I'm prone to stupid decisions), but I bought this course plan so I could have some LR explanations for some PTs. I did do a bunch of lessons in areas I was weaker in, but I would say I only did around 50% of the CC. I used the Powerscore Bibles for 3 months, until I discovered this site, which I must add is 1000000 times better than Powerscore, I was planning on just doing the CC from September 26 until December 3rd, and I generated a study schedule with it, and it seems pretty comfortable to me. It gives me 42h/week, which is OK, considering I've already done many of the lessons and they would most likely just be refreshers. I've only done 11 PTs (36, 52, 41, 53, 54, 55, 56, 70, 63, 67, 71) so I still have a bunch for a December rewrite, and the study schedule generator gives me like 3 or 4 PTs to do per week, but I feel like I can do 5 per week, so I might do that.

For background, in case anyone was wondering or has some specific knowledge applicable to my situation, I'm applying to University of Alberta Law School, wherein the most recent applicant profile shows what every regular applicant had GPA-wise and what their coinciding LSAT score was. I'm at a 3.93 GPA, so I could possibly get in with a 152, provided the averages stay fairly similar, which has been the case for the last 7-ish years, as per my conversation with the admissions lady at the school. This is just in case anyone was wondering why I would be happy with the score stated above.

Also, I just wanna say I LOVE 7sage, and its discussion forum. You guys are phenomenal people.

Do I get my answer sheet and stuff? Or just the exam?

So I've taken a look all around the forums, and watched the videos on the Memory Method, but I was just wondering how you guys think I should try and implement the Memory Method into my test-taking habits for the December LSAT? I have the freedom to study everyday, so whatever you guys suggest is cool, I just want to improve my RC a little bit, at least (I'm consistently at like -13).

Essentially, I want to know how often to practice, and how I should practice using the Memory Method?

Thank you guys, appreciate any help I can get!

Is PT C2 considered as representative of modern LSATs as the exams in the 70s are?

Hey guys,

I have Superprep II, in hard copy, and I only bought it for the C2 exam, but is there anywhere that I can get C2 as a PDF? So that I have a clean copy of it after I take it. I like to print out LSATs rather than doing them in a book, too, so that I can easily insert my experimental section in there.

Does anyone else find the games in the earlier PTs (35 and under) to be harder than the newer ones? In the 70s, the first 3 games are always so easy, and then there's just 1 really hard one at the end. But the earlier exams I feel are so much harder. No clue why.

My goal score is 154-157, and I'd be really happy with anything in that range. My question is: what should I be PTing at so that I am safe to get a score in that range? These are my PT scores:

PT36 Dec 2001 2016-08-18 3 weeks ago 160

PT52 Sep 2007 2016-08-26 2 weeks ago 159

PT41 Oct 2003 2016-08-30 1 week ago 152

PT53 Dec 2007 2016-08-30 1 week ago 153

PT54 Jun 2008 2016-08-31 1 week ago 154

PT55 Oct 2008 2016-09-08 7 hours ago 154

The times aren't exactly when I did the tests, they're just when I entered them into the Scorer. I write on September 24th, by the way, and I know my scores are kind of inconsistent, but I'm gonna write 10 more exams before test day, and I'll keep you guys posted. But is my goal feasible in the timeframe I have?

Which PTs should I use to study for December? I've only done 12, and December is a rewrite for me, so I've pretty much finished studying, and I want to focus as much as I can on PTs and improving my weaknesses. Also, which order should I do the PTs in, and how many per week from now until December? My ideal score is a 155-157, so you guys don't need to worry about where I'm at in terms of PTing (in case anyone was suggesting to postpone), I tend to get around that score fairly consistently, but there are random times (3 times) where I get like a 152-154. I'm also pretty much ALWAYS going -12 to -14 on RC, how can I improve this in 2 months time? Would you guys suggest trying to implement the Memory Method? I'm kinda stumped.

Hey @"Dillon A. Wright" ,

I was wondering if you guys were doing one of those deals where you'd extend access for people who run out a few weeks before an upcoming LSAT administration. Mine runs out with a little bit more than 2 weeks to go until December 3rd's LSAT. Would you guys be able to extend my access until the December LSAT is over, please and thank you? Thanks a bunch, I love this place! I just hope I never have to use it again after December! LOL

It's with a heavy heart that I've decided to postpone this whole cycle, I'm going forego writing the December 2016 LSAT in favour of writing the September 2017 LSAT. I'm scoring in my current target range of the mid to high 150s, which would comfortably get me admission into the Canadian schools I wanna go to, but my GPA is so high (3.94) that I feel it would be an injustice to get an LSAT that low. Therefore, I've decided I want to go to Harvard, or Yale, and my GPA is at those standards, but I want to get an LSAT of a similar calibre to that of my GPA.

I've decided to take a little bit of time off, and then start fresh in a few weeks and write in September 2017. I'm going to upgrade to Ultimate + and extend all the way until September 2017.

Inspiration came from Alex Divine's post a while back, HLS, here we come.
