Question for those who completed the core curriculum- Did you use all the problem sets available for each question type or saved some for drilling later? It looks like the questions are arranged by difficulty. Not sure if I am going to get the benefit from the core-c if I save the problem sets at the end of each question type for drilling later. What was your approach? Thank you.

More context: I'm setting a target of completing 5 PTs at about my target score before taking the actual test. Is that too few? Thank you!

I'm having hard time to solve substitution Qs like PT61,S4,Q19, PT63,S1,Q18 or PT63,S3,Q22.

I've seen these kinds of Qs after PT60.

Whenever I encounter these kinds of questions, I can't usually pick the right answer. I feel much harder than regular principle or necessary assumption questions.

Is there any effective tactic to crack this kind of the Qs?

Please someone enlighten me.

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, so I'm currently registered for the Sept 24th LSAT exam. I started studying for the test in March, first with PowerScore. I studied the LR Bible for all of March, the Reading Comp Bible for all of April, and then the Logic Games Bible for all of May. I spent the months of June and July reviewing everything that I had learned and began doing untimed preptests. I then realized that there were certain questions that I was still having difficulty with and consistently getting wrong (eg./ LR weaken questions and assumptions questions, to name a few) so I enrolled in 7Sage at the beginning of August. My original plan was just to use the course to help with my trouble areas, but I ended up completing the whole course as I found it to be useful review and I ended up learning things that I didn't previously learn from PowerScore. It took me two weeks to complete the course, and I then spent the remainder of August (up until now) reviewing all of the lessons from the course. I feel super confident in my knowledge of the test and the different sections/questions, however, after a few days of timed preptests, I'm not scoring where I want to be (and my score seems to fluctuate and is inconsistent). Given that test is 4 weeks away today, do you think I should postpone the test? Or do you think that I have a reasonable amount of time left to fine tune and get my score up? For reference, my score is between 162-166, and I'm aiming for a minimum of 169/170.

Hi guys, Im wondering if I have the concept of "or" down. So first it can be used as a group 3 indicator to split the sentence into a conditional statement (negate necessary). Secondly we can use it to split the sufficient condition of a conditional statement. And third we can use it to create a bi-conditional through or but not both. Do I have it down right?

Hi,

I was not sure about E...the language is so confusing.

How should I understand the answer choice and why is it wrong?

Thanks in advance!

I am the sole owner of a residential property of which I am the landlord.. do I somehow include this on my resume? I am considering it in terms of 1) it's a job sort of, as I do profit off of it, 2) i've been doing it for a few years so it is part of what has kept me busy which adds to what I have been busy doing while completing my undergrad, working full-time, and being a single mother, so I think it adds to the evidence that I am able to balance a multitude of tasks successfully, and 3) shows leadership and management skills (maybe?). I have my resume pretty complete but this actually just crossed my mind today. Should I somehow address it on my resume? At the very bottom under skills and interests?

I'm not sure if any of you have this trouble but I seem to be missing quite a few more questions (2-3) on the first LR section than the second. This is especially prevalent when LR is the first section of the exam. Any suggestions to remedy this?

How is the group 3 or inclusive?? Doesn't negating one element make it exclusive?

For example Jon or Tommy will go to lunch is translated as:

/J -> T

/T -> J

Doesn't that make it so we can only choose one at the expense of the other making it exclusive?

Hi all. I recently switched over from the Powerscore books to a 7Sage course and things are going great so far, however, I don't know if it is too early for me to take the test. I registered for the September test far too early and have until Tuesday to postpone. I currently just finished Validity in the course so I have a good amount to go and don't want to rush it. The only thing making me second guess postponing is not hitting my target score in December and then having to delay my admissions until February with the February test which I have heard is too late to apply. Anyone have any advice on this?

Are the words "all potential" just meant to throw us off?

I am curious to see if anyone can tell me why they use the term "all potential"nuclear reactor sites in such a region.... why did they not just say "nuclear reactor sites in such a region" is the addition of "all potential" just a term to throw us off..... if you removed the word all potential from the stimulus and the answer choices would he question be the same? because to me it just seems that the term all potential is just a label to try and throw us off... because once you mention nuclear reactor sites in such a region.. you already know that you are talking about nuclear reactor sites that are in a geologically quiet region.

So I'm curious what everyone believes are soft factors that help with getting accepted into law school. I had built my undergraduate life under the impression I would be attaining an MSW not a JD and this decision happened rather spontaneously within the last few months, as you can deduce I have not done too much research on getting accepted and would truly appreciate help here (specifically pertaining to the 'Soft factors'). I'm a triple major (does this even matter for law?), I have presented my research at two conferences, published in a criminology journal (first name publication), received grants and fellowships, have held a steady job as a mental health professional aid for two years, and several other involvements/memberships in clubs, internships, etc. I have absolutely no clue if any of this matters? What soft factors are they looking for?

I have heard that one should visit the law schools they are applying to.

There are a few law schools I am applying to, I can pay for a flight to visit 3 of them (when landed, I can travel to each one by bus).

Is there a point to visit my top law school choices before I'm admitted?

If yes, what should I be doing once I'm there? Introduce myself to the secretary, or meet with someone in particular? Should I be enquiring about more details regarding the clinics the prospective law school offers? I feel like I can do all that over the phone if I really need to.

Would there by specific law schools that are should be visited, like Harvard or Yale, rather than smaller names?

The LSAT ever "clever girl" you? Yeah, me too. We can help with that though. Next time you'll see that shit coming and you can be the one jumping out of the bushes!

Note:

I was just doing an RC section (Particularly PT 68) and got to the last passage with a little more than 5minutes left on the clock. At this moment I wasn't sure what the best way to maximize my remaining time was.

Would one advise just reading the passage as quickly as you can and trying to answer what you can with whatever time is left after the reading?

Or

Is it more productive to go straight to the questions and try to target your reading. (I was lucky that this particular passage had a lot of line reference questions, but would the strategy be the same if this weren't the case?)

I wonder what you all think?

Hello guys. Really need help here. I've been in a plateau of 165 for like 4 PTs already (1.5month)? So I stopped taking full length PTs but instead I just do timed drilling mainly on LR and RC for 2 weeks.(before I do drillings during weekdays and one full length on weekend) I saw some improvements from drilling practices, -2/-3 for each LR max and 0/-2 for LG. I am not sure is it because I had done those drilling questions before that when I read a statement from LR I can just directly formulate an answer and look for that answer in AC. So yesterday, I finally decided to take a full length to see my progress etc. (PT71) Though my score remained the same, my LR got so much more terrible, -5 and -6. RC was still the same, LG -3 (boo). And for LR my error is like everywhere(I was still able to formulate the answer after finishing the stem, but still). Before I was mainly getting inference and flaw incorrect, and now I just make mistakes here and there. (So I guess maybe I did improve on inference and flaw?) I am feeling so discouraged:( and anxiety overwhelmed as my test is in September. Sorry if I am writing like elementary, just don't even know how to express this. HELP @"Nicole Hopkins"

This trend is certainly interesting.

Hi,

So I'm not sure about the correct answer C...

Why do we have to assume or compare the ancestors to Neanderthals? Why it's required?

Even though we know homo sapiens ancestors of contemporary humans was not significantly more similar to that of Neanderthals than is the DNA of people today, that only means people today was more similar to Homo sapiens when we compared to Neanderthals.

It could be true there are some similarities between ppl and Neanderthals, just not as much as with homo sapiense.

In that case, we cannot conclude homo sapiens did not interbred with Neanderthals (and it could be true both neanderthals and homo sapiens were ancestors of humans).

I'm really confused with C and do not understand why it's required to make the conclusion in the argument (which is they did not "interbreed")

Hello,

I'm having trouble understanding why B is incorrect, and why E is the correct answer.

So originally when going over the stimulus I only found one flaw in the stimulus: The individual players don't tell us about the quality of the team (Parts doesn't equal the whole)

And, I assumed "B" was the correct answer since it kind of described the flaw. "features that are not relevant to the quality of that entity", I guess the features are relevant, but I assumed that those features are not relevant to the overall quality of that entity. Meaning the individual parts can't give us any detail of the quality of the whole.

I don't understand how "E" is the correct answer. Best team most likely to win -> Our club will almost certainly be city champions.....Okay...they have the same transitional conditions...what's wrong here?

Am I the only one having problems logging into 7Sage from Mozilla? I even changed my password because it would not let me log in.

It works fine on internet explorer, but I use Mozilla for everything and would prefer to use 7Sage on there.

Hi all! I was told that reading extensive and "hard" books/articles will help you in the RC section. Is this true? Does anyone recommend a list of books I should read? Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm in the process of deciding what schools to apply to, and what area of Law I hope to practice.

I'm interested in Social Justice, Human Rights, and Aboriginal law, and want to start seeing what kind of jobs are out there, with what kind of pay scale. Anyone have any good sites that will help me find some information? Google just sends me to a lot of sites that are dump-all for all kinds of law jobs (clerks, secretaries) as well as no way to filter out types of law I'm not interested in.

Thanks!

The burnout is real, just did a 142 on PT June 2008. Ive been a member of 7sage for over a year, taken a ton of PTs, averaging in the 163-168 area. Ive tried to take it slow but I just bombed the holy f#@* out of this one for some reason. Oh well. Im going to take a few days off before my senior year starts and have some beers, clean my car, and listen to my favorite band Avenged Sevenfold.

Just looking for some thoughts on this. Is it worth bothering your undergrad registrar for a sealed letter to send to LSAC so academic honors (Phi Beta Kappa, etc.) can be included on the Law School Report? I already have that information on my resume but was looking over LSAC policies and saw the following:

Academic Notes

If a transcript contains academic notes such as dean’s list, study-abroad credits, academic probation, suspension, dismissal, warning, and so on, these notes will appear on your law school report.

Transcript notations such as dean’s list, Phi Beta Kappa, summa cum laude, and the like will be included on the report as “Academic Honors.” Academic honors not included on your official transcript will be noted on the Law School Report if an official, sealed letter sent from the registrar is received by LSAC.

If you question a transcript notation of academic action, you should contact the institution directly and resolve the matter as soon as possible. Please note that a discrepancy between your answer to a law school application academic record question and notations on your transcript(s) could result in a misconduct and irregularities investigation.

Is anyone else having a really difficult time loading videos? I don't think it's my internet speed...
