Hi everyone! I wrote the LSAT today but am almost 100% positive I'm going to rewrite. I found 7Sage quite late in my prep (heartbreaking as this is such an amazing resource) and I definitely want to follow one of schedules here, but does anyone know what to pursue for the purpose of retaking?

Thanks!

Im having some trouble with this question so I chose A because I thought that this is what was needed to make the conclusion valid and I didn't choose B because it says " must encompass MORE than " and I took the conclusion to mean that physical theories couldn't explain consciousness in any manner, can someone help me please? TYA!

Hi everyone,

I have crippling allergies. My sinuses feel so heavy that I can hardly keep my head up. It even affects my vision. To make matters worse, I just ran out of my medication and have to wait until tomorrow to get it refilled. Obviously, doing trickier games when in this condition is probably not the best idea (I tried and failed miserably). You miss things that normally you would get, etc.

Is the move here just to wait until I have my meds? I'm itching to do more games and get even quicker with LR as I'm reading closer and selecting the correct answer with more ease each day.

It's frustrating that we're people and apparently aren't invincible.

I'm planning on writing my LSAT in February 2018. I have access to the Ultimate+ 7sage course until November 2018.

Once the June, September and December 2017 LSATs are released, will I have 7sage access to them? Specifically, will I be able to input my raw and BR scores in analytics (with video answers*) like the other practice tests, or is there an additional charge to do so?

*I understand that this will take time, and that's totally okay, I just want to know if I'll have access to them eventually (without paying extra).

Im considering upgrading my course from starter to ultimate plus, but would it be worth investing in ultimate plus, if you already own all the LSAC PT series books?

I'm thinking of bringing an extra few (or more than few?) gallon bags to the test center to give to people who didn't realize they have to put everything in one. Maybe it will give me a few extra karma points?! Thoughts? Who's with me? #letsgo

Hi! I will be writing the LSAT in September, and I have 3 months in hand. I had started studying for the basics in late April, using PTs 52-61 and the LSAT Trainer and 7sage videos for logic games. I have been getting almost all of my LR and LG questions right by this point, but I take too much time to reach the answer in every question, especially in LR. What can I do now to work on my speed and keep up the accuracy?

Thanks in advance!

hi everyone ,

just wanted to wish everyone the best of luck with the test tomorrow.

luckily ill be attending law school either way ( Canadian civil law schools don't require the lsat), but to those of you who are putting it all on the line , i hope you crush this thing.

I've been studying on and off since july of last year and I'm excited to hopefully put this test to bed for gd. looking to use my score for a transfer to a common law school.

again , best of luck

You've got this. I took it for the first time in February and I got my highest score after months and months of prep during school, while working a part time job. Trust me, you can do this. (3 Breathe, eat well before leaving, make sure you have everything you need, and power through all the sections. Kill it everytime. Once you get to the essay you're in the homestrech and before you know it, you're done!(/p)

Hi everyone,

I apologize in advance if this is somewhat repetitive but I'm looking for some guidance on what to do in my situation. I am hoping to sit for the September test in order to apply for the following year's fall admissions cycle. My diagnostic was a 158 with a -8 on LG. I am pretty much done with the CC and am about to start fool proofing LG as it is my worst section.

I was thinking of spending ~3 weeks on fool proofing LG using the LG bundle that I have access to. On that subject, what is the method that you would recommend for fool proofing games? I took a look at the bundle and the file is absolutely ginormous. I already have a spreadsheet that I plan on using for games that includes: PrepTest, difficulty, category, how many I got wrong, and the dates that I am going to attempt the game again (next day and week later). Is there a set number of games that I should be trying per day?

I am completely open to any suggestions that you all may have regarding time spent on LG before diving into the PT's.

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I'm currently a rising senior in college, and I intend to take the LSAT in September and begin law school in the fall of 2018.

I started my LSAT prep in late May, working almost exclusively with Logic Games for that duration. My timed scores have been consistently high for the past two weeks, but I almost inevitably miss a single question on each game. The missed question is almost always one of the easiest in the game, and my incorrect answer is always outside of the commonly selected wrong answers (according to the 7sage metrics.)

The situation is derived from a consistent pattern of mindless/silly mistakes, and I've struggled with this kind of thing since elementary school. Even using blind review, even after reading every word in a passage twice and out loud, I end up writing down a rule wrong, or bubbling in a letter different than the correct answer I just identified.

I know that the canned answer to this is to drill, and trust that over time I'll sharpen up and the necessary skills will develop. That said, I wanted to reach out and field any advice from others who may share a similar personal weakness. Even if focus/detail is your forte, I'd love to hear your stratagem and facilitate a discourse on how to remain keen, especially when practicing with time restriction.

Thanks!

So a little background information. I studied for 3 months prior to this past decembers LSAT, i used the bibles and i was grossly unprepared and didnt have a community or a mentor to confer with. I unwittingly took the december test and scored a 160 ,my diagnostic was a 148. I wasnt happy with this score bc i knew i could do much better. For the most part i procrastinated until around 1.5 months ago when i decided i was gonna start prepping again with the goal of taking the september test. Since then i have studied 25+ hr weeks along with my close to 55 hrs of work a week. I have seen much improvement and confidence in every aspect of the test and my methodology. I am through games 1-10 of foolproofing and plan on foolproofing for another 3.5 weeks . My question is, and i understand i am gonna get the generic " wait till you are ready" answer, but i am still asking what is your view on the benefits of taking the september test vs December. I am shooting for a t14 school and i know i can do it, i would say my average pt is around a 165-167. As far as i understand the admission process, the earlier i apply the less competetive i have to be in order to get a spot. So should i shoot for September? My methodology is sound as far as i can tell. My main issue was the games and RC and i am seeing major improvement in both areas. I am a little concerned because my current schedule will only allow for 20 PTs between finishing foolproofing and the test date. But on the other end i am worried to take december bc that will put me in the latter half of admissions. Any input?

  • Super speed Lawgic translations as a result of all those in/out games.
  • Managing panic from subtle inference questions and weird games
  • Reading "with my pencil down". Extremely careful reading and tactile comprehension.
  • Yeah. So fool-proofing LG can contribute to other, transferrable aspects of the test. I've basically committed the past 6 weeks to the bundle while "neglecting" LR and RC. But now, as I mix in some those sections, I find that the habits I've instilled from LG remain regardless of the section.

    Keep on pushing ya'll. If you're aiming for Dec like me, it's not too late to master games. Good luck!

    Hello guys,

    ive been consistently scoring 20+ on RC yet in the last few days I've been getting scores as low as 14

    i suspect its a sorting issue as i haven't been able to properly triage the passages in terms of difficulty.

    should i be worried ? do i go back to doing them in the sequence that they're originally presented ?

    id hate to change strategy so late in the game.

    thanks

    It's been a while guys. As I have previously announced, I will be attending the University of Chicago for law school. I was looking at some of the syllabi for some previous classes and it seems that not all courses allow for typed exams and a lot of them require handwritten exams. Now I can only see as recent as 2012 so I don't know if that has changed but what seems to be the trend nationally on this?

    hi friends, does anyone know if

  • it's ok to not finish the essay/writing sample portion? I ran out of time practicing on that
  • also - as I was using an online virtual proctor during my practice tests, I noticed that I don't have any time to re-adjust my watch for each section. is that exactly how it is on the actual test? the online proctor was literally like, time for next section..START.
  • i've never taken the lsat with other students - does it ever distract you when others are turning pages quicker or, drawing diagrams for logic games really quickly/loud strokes with their pencil? i know that may sound funny, but i usually need it really quiet and even get distracted by the sound of my own pencil lol i've tried to practice in semi-noisy environments, but just hoping these things won't get to me
  • any info appreciated, good luck to everyone, may we all get into our dream schools xx

    Okay so this one I really don't understand. The question talks about changing days of the year so that the days no longer shift.

    It states: Many scheduling problems could be avoided if the last day of each year, and an additional day every 4th year belonged to no week.

    The stem says: The proposal above, once put into effect, would be most likely to result in continued scheduling conflicts for which one of the following groups?

    The correct answer is B.) Employed people whose strict religious observations require that they refrain from working every 7th day.

    What....how would they have a continued scheduled problem? Every 7th day they don't work. What's the issue here? Do I assume that work would say "Hey, you don't get to take that 7th day off because of your religion?" I feel like it requires me to assume things that it shouldn't. Or maybe I am missing the idea completely....

    Don't show weakness. You're ready. make sure to relax during the test if you feel yourself spazzing out. A little stress will keep you alert so don't panic if you feel your heart start to beat a little faster than normal. Fight or flight kicks in and you're going

    to fight your ass off because you're no chump. youve been taking tests your whole life. It's nothing. Don't scramble when the proctor tells you to start. Take an extra second, breathe, and begin. Cool as ice. You've done this before.
