I did not like any choices in this question at first...am I only the one who feel PT 61's LR is kind of different/harder??

Anyway,

In the principle it does not say it should hire a candidate who would be fully qualified when none of the fully qualified candidates for a new position at AC currently works for the company. It only tell to hire the candidate who would be most productive in that position.

Why in the application it says Delarcuz is fully qualified? Is it necassary? SInce it is not appeared in the principle I thougtht the correct answer will include that, saying something like "XXX+hire the candidate who is fully qualified"

Why is E correct even though it does not include this?

Thank you

Hi there. I have been working on the LSAT for several months. I have done BRs and drills through PT1-34 and I just started PT from PT35. During the very recent 3 PTs that I have finished, I was able to keep the performance of my LR and LG in the same range with that of my former BRs, -4 to -2 and -1 to 0. However, my RC was very unstable, -8 to -10 and sometimes I could just barely finish reading of the hardest passage and have no time for the last several questions of it. I currently adopt the VIEWSTAMP method from the bible and I dont think it works really well for me. English is not my mother tongue and I dont think I am doing a good job of the so called Active and Structural Reading. Therefore, I am eager for some advice for RC drills and practices, or maybe some other methods that I can learn from to improve my RC performance. Many Thanks!

Hey guys, so I had been struggling with finishing sections on time until I saw one of JY's videos of one of his students doing an entire LR section. I saw her reading the stimuli and if it didn't make sense at first, she would waste no time, circle it, and move on to the next question. This strategy has been great for me. I skip ones i don't know now and come back to them during "round 2" once I finish answering all the questions. My problem is that every time i take a PT, i usually struggle either finishing RC on time or LG on time... The time usually ends and i have 2-3 questions i don't get to finish answering. SO my question is, what do you guys do to improve your timing on those sections? Is skipping recommended on RC and LG? I'd love to hear back from you guys. Thanks.

LSAC Photo

Hey guys,

So as I'm looking at my LSAC photo, there's a small white gap between the picture and the border, so my picture is not 2x2 but it's very close - are they going to be anal about this or is it fine?

I've tried taking so many pictures and they all have the same issue.

Please help!

Hi Folks,

I have been studying for the LSAT for roughly a year now (on and off for first 8 months, but full-time in these last 4) mainly utilizing 7Sage's curriculum, although I have also done the Trainer and PowerScore Bibles. In this time, I went from a diagnostic score of 161 to about 179 at my peak (PT56) and today I got 167 (PT78). Lately, my scores average has fallen by about 6 points from 173 to 167 in the PT 70s. My average scores for each section are (LR: -3.3 / LG: -2.3 / RC: -3.7).

I am pretty disheartened by this decrease as I originally thought I was really prepared. Seeing as how the breakdown of my sections also seems to be similar across the board, I think I may be hitting my plateau. Is 170 impossible for me by September? What can I do now that I am nearly running out of materials and recent PTs to take?

One of my main issues I find is that I almost always have more questions wrong than I mark for BR. This feels even worse because I don't even know that I am missing something. Does anyone have any tips for the final stretch?

(I have attached a screenshot of my analytics. Please disregard the BR line, because I use a different account for that. My BR is always about 5 points above PT score). http://imgur.com/a/vfLz0

Hey guys been MIA, trying to get ready to move out of the country & all... but my question is... what websites do you know of that can help with reading comprehension? I can't really get a subscription to anything as I will not be here... but I was wondering if you knew of any websites I could possibly read daily? My reading comprehension is strong, but until I am not missing a single question every time I always have room for improvement :) Thanks guys!

Starting 7sage LSAT prep has shown me that I need to go to the basics and learn grammar properly. English is my second language and I speak it fluently but, my reading skills definitely need an upgrade. Just a thought

I have the Cambridge games packet. What would be the best way for me to use them for a month of logic games only. Should I just go through them one by one or should I mix them. Let me know what you think.

Intuitively I thought what said in the argument is contradicting...I thought people usually learn from history and as they increase knowledge about history, they will know better about what is good or bad. (Do people read passages/stimuli related to your life?)

But in the argument it says it's the opposite...right?

As people know more history, they will not judge people morally or not work out of moral themes.

Could anyone give me examples of this?

I don't know why, but for some reason I felt it's not true in real life...and that confused me a lot.

What is working out of moral themes or inclination to morally judge human behavior anyway?

Don't people actually judge what others do and they learn those part from history?

I began studying for the LSAT using 7sage late July. My diagnostic score was 150. Since then, I have scored 152, then 157, then 154, then 157 again. I have not finished the core curriculum though. I am consistently my lowest score in Logic Games, getting about ten questions right. I was thinking about doing a logic game intensive and just focusing the month of September on Logic Games and foolproofing. Do you think that will be beneficial?

I am taking the test in December and am aiming for a 165. Based on current trends, do you think that score is possible within the timefram?

Like everyone else here I'm worried about the loans, and I was looking into the early decision full tuition programs, like the one at Northwestern University. Ideally, I wanted to attend school in NYC or Philly, but the chances of getting a really good scholarship are looking slimmer by the minute.

I actually don't know much about Northwestern (other than it's a great school and it's brutally cold in the winter), so I'd obviously look into it a lot more and try to visit the campus before making such an important decision. On the surface though, I was wondering if anyone had any insight on whether or not it's worth it, or whether it's better to see what kind of financial aid/scholarships I could receive.

Thanks!

I've been studying for about 3 months using the powerscore bibles and recently decided to join 7sage. I've gone through what feels like many of the fundamentals for the LSAT. My question is when should I take a full time test again? I haven't taken one since May - only timed sections and questions. I've been following the 7sage curriculum but I feel I'm running out of time to take more PT's. Should I I just try one this week and see how I do before getting down more curriculum from 7sage?

hey everyone, I have one month left and I am scoring between 146-155 which is extremely low. I have high GPA a (3.8) and good references and it is so frustrating that this one stupid test is getting in the way of my dream of law school. Do you have any tips on how I can improve. I have been studying for 2 months (10 hrs per week) I have now been studying 4-5 hrs per day.

If I could at least bump my score to 158 I know I would have a fighting chance with a good GPA. Right now RC is like 14-16 Arguments are :15 correct and Logic Games are my worst with about 14-16.

Any tips, I feel like I review my answers but when new test comes maybe its anxiety but its like I make the same mistakes.

Its starting to make me really depressed but I keep trying not to loose hope. Any suggestions will help.

Thanks,

I have recently completed the core curriculum and the first PT out, I have scored a raw/timed score of 165. Now, I also BR-ed at 170. I want to know how I should be thinking through my scores, if that question makes sense? So, from B.R. I definitely know that timing is an issue (I lost the bulk of my points due to my inability to complete sections) (how do I improve timing? More timed PT's? Because I am a re-taker, I only have ~13 fresh PT's left)...I want to score at 170+, particularly because I am a nervous test taker. I don't know if this is answerable, but what do you guys think about my progress? How should I be studying now, as I'm entering the next stage of PT-ing?

Thank you.

Hi Everyone! I was hoping to get some advice on my situation,

I am currently PT around 150, an upwards trend from the start of my PT's from 145 (timing issues) and have hit 150/152 consistently on my past 5 tests. However, I have been blind reviewing around 165. Is it possible to get my score at least up to a 155 or so by the September date?

Hey guys,

This is going to sound a little strange but bear with me. So I was doing Pt's in the 50's and 60's and was getting around 160 - 165 generally. As soon as I hit the late 60's and early 70's my score suddenly jumped to 170 - 172.

Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else! And is it because of becoming better through practice*hopes very hard* or because the Pt's became slightly different.

It is rather strange to worried over a score increase but... O.o
