Hello! I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the process of attending law school in Australia and returning back to Canada/US for employment after graduating. I have read that certain states (CA + NY) are more friendly to international law students when they return back to pursue a legal career. As well, I have become aware to how more Canadian students attend school in Australia for law and return back to Canada to take some written exams before they can officially become a lawyer.

Does anyone have any more information about the process of attending law school internationally before coming back to practice in North America? Thanks!

Can anyone show me their diagram of this question?

So i already took a test in December and decided to retake. I am currently PTing around 167ish and i am shooting for a 170+ the regular test deadline is august 2nd. I dont know if i should sign up or not. I dont mind retaking in december. The reason i am not pushing off till december mainly is due to nerves. What if i sit for december and freak out? I have already pushed off a cycle so no matter what i am appying for fall 2018. I have no qualms of studying till December but i worry that my nerves will get to me. If i take in September at least i have another shot after if my nerves do get to me. Thoughts?

I have just finished the core curriculum for Logical Reasoning, would it be better to continue with the core curriculum or start reading the LR Bible?

Option 1: 7sage LR --> LR Bible --> 7sage RC --> RC Bible --> 7sage LG --> LG Bible

Option 2: All of 7sage Core Curriculum --> All the Powerscore Bibles

In one of the lessons, JY states:

"Some dogs are cute. All cute things are loveable.

Therefore, some dogs are lovable".

My question is, why is it not, "Therefore, ALL dogs are loveable"?

So i have made tremendous strides in my RC method and technique over the past couple of weeks. Contrary to populer belief, i think RC is a very doable section, especially with the proper incorporation of the memory method.

My question is: does it ever get to the point when one is comfortable with every passage they encounter? I realize this is subjective, but i am asking about your personal experience.

Alot of times i will read a passage and BAM, i feel super in control of the content and absolutely breeze through the questions. And these arent necessarily based on the content or the difficulty. And sometimes i just seem pretty blurry even after a couple of reads. Any thoughts?

Hello 7sagers! Vague question alert here, but I took the June LSAT and am starting the application process - how do I go about narrowing down my list of schools? What kind of process are you using? Not entirely sure where I eventually want to settle down and practice (which is complicating things), but I scored a 166 and have a 3.85 LSAC GPA (OK softs, played a sport 4 years in college if that makes a difference). Do you think I can get into some of the lower tier T-14 schools? Any help is appreciated - thanks!

Hi all, I'm wondering how you decided you reached your score potential? Thanks!

Hi! September is coming up quick so my social activities on the weekends will be kept to a minimum. Will anyone else be studying tonight and tomorrow night? If so, I think it'd be a great idea to set up a chat group in case I have any questions and vice versa!

How does everyone catch up to their study schedule if they get behind? I've had a hell of a week and while i've literally studied every second I wasn't doing something critical, I'm about 8 hours behind based off the schedule. Any suggestions? Should I just power through? Can I adjust it?

I am learning MBT Questions. JY uses diagrams. Should we, too?

Recently I have had a very foggy feeling when it comes to the LSAT. I took some time off and saw a jump in my score, but since then I feel like things are slipping.

I have not been able to get back into a comfortable study routine.

During sections I feel like my brain is fogged and I am not applying the fundamentals as well any more.

During the week I'm not sure exactly what to study or how to go about advancing on the test.

I feel like I am grasping at straws now and I'm not sure how to go about changing that.

I also really would like to start getting a method set up for RC. I just am not sure where to even start. The memory method is good, but something about this section feels like I am just going with my gut. I want something that feels more concrete.

Any advice for getting back on track with this test?

Hi! I am confused about how the LSAC will calculate my GPA. My college just has A, B, C, etc. They do not give plus or minus. The college I transferred to gives plus and minus. I am just confused how this would all calculate up with the custom LSAC GPA.

Hi guys,

I recently attended a law school forum in DC and met a lot of schools. Is it ok if I actually write about admissions officer I spoke to at the forum?

Something like: "My recent discussion with Ms. __ __ affirmed my decision to make (enter school name) my top choice. She raved the JD/MPH program......"

Is that ok? Of course I won't make up the conversation we had, but i highly doubt they will remember me anyways lol.

It's a Saturday, my wife's working, I'm relatively free. What do I want to do? Coffee shop and study for the LSAT as I have been doing all week. Does anyone else, in a weird sort of way, enjoy the challenge of speeding through LG or drilling through LR questions? I've just found myself more and more over the last month desiring to hole up and pore over LSAT material, partially for the good score, partially for the fun of it. Am I maniacal?! lol

So I am pretty excited/nervous about starting my1L at UChi next month. After talking to some people, I have been told by some that they earned higher GPA's in law school than they did in undergrad. Of course, this is not the same as saying that it is "easier" because I highly doubt that it is. The curve could benefit some or students could benefit from being in classes that they are skilled in(unlike undergrad where classes outside your major could bring you down like Math, etc)

What are some of your thoughts?

Hi guys! General question about strengthening questions. I know from reviewing the core curriculum that, in theory, you can strengthen an argument one of two ways:

1.) adding premises that support the conclusion

2.) increasing the relevance of an existing premise to a conclusion

However, the more strengthening explanations I watch, the more I notice the right answer never really adds an independent extra premise. It always relates back to an existing premise, and makes it more relevant. Also JY mentions in several videos that the AC's that seem to add extra premises are the trap answers.

So, are there examples of correct strengthening AC's that do add an extra premise that in no way has to do with any of the premises already in the stimulus? Because if so, that would be quite useful in identifying trap answer choices. Thank you!

I don't know why but I have been having trouble translating any statement that has 'neither nor' in it.

For example, how would I translate this statement into formal logic/shorthand.

Neither Garrett nor Genrietta finishes earlier than Luisa.

Thank you in advance!

I am about a third of the way done with the CC and plan on taking the LSAT in February 2018 (unless I'm not ready in which case, I will push back to June). I have fully subscribed to JY's notion of taking the test when ready not necessarily by a deadline so am in no rush. That being said, when would be a good time to start admissions prep? I have not thought much about it as I am more focused on mastering the test but I also don't want to be surprised and then have to scramble to throw together a (hopefully) good admissions packet. I feel like it shouldn't even be on my radar now but I have heard from other people that they spend part of their study time on admissions prep. Is there ever a time when it's too early to start ... or too late?

I was just doing a timed PT and I found that many of the questions, due to having gone through the CC, are familiar. I've encountered most of them a while ago, but the familiarity of the questions ruins my confidence in my score. I ended up scoring 168, but I really don't know how to feel about it. Any suggestions on the type of mentality I should have when I experience similar events? Despite the fact that I didn't remember the correct answers to these questions, it still feels like I cheated. I'm sure this will occur again and again as I PT more, so I'd like to know what you think.

Hey all,

Any tips or advice on when to employ these two very different BR methods? I've found in the past that when I do full-test BR a few days later my BR score is significantly higher than when I only BR questions I circled during the normal PT (the ones where I felt (100% certain). I know this indicates that over-confidence is an issue, but I'm not sure how to address it.(/p)

This is essentially two questions. One is serious and one is not.

How many of you guys use Study Buddies? Has this been a big asset to you? A distraction? I'm trying to decide if I should continue to study alone or try to find someone to study with.

The not serious question is who all is your study buddy? Currently, mine is a small kitten I fostered earlier this summer who finds the videos fascinating. He has logged the CC hours right along side me, probably retaining more then I have lol.

Taking the LSAT in Sept - just finished LSAT trainer/my 3rd prep test (65) and the one section I'm not feeling even alright in is RC. I scored a 162 on the above test and missed 12 in RC. For those who have seen improvement - how do you train yourself to synthesize the information quickly and accurately so as to be able to answer the questions that follow? Unless the content is fairly simple, I have a hard time doing the above.

Anyone in the Durham Region or GTA planning on taking the December 2017 test?

Interested in possibly starting a study group if I get any takers. Open to online and/or in person.
