Note:

Can you give percentages of the importance of the "Diversity Statement", "Why us?" résumé,and maybe the addendum?

I was watching J.Y explanation for PT 68 Game 2 and he mentions that the stimulus allows for one day to be empty, and later on using the rules he infers that none of the days will be empty. But during the time section when I was reading the stimulus I thought otherwise because it mentions "hearing takes exactly three days" and I automatically thought this means at least one witness per day because if one day is empty the hearing does not takes exactly three days but happens between Monday to Wednesday.

My question is that, did I get lucky or I am allowed to make such deduction?

This is a method of reasoning question. I don't understand answer choices A and C. If someone could explain those to me, I would be most appreciative!

A) Literary theory could be considered myths. What throws me off of this one is scientific explanation, couldn't it mean that the second part of J's argument "Myths are not told..because they are no longer bodies of generally accepted truths.." be considered a scientific explanation supporting his first claim? The only thing that makes me think you could eliminate this answer choice is the word problem, because he and G never indicate that there is a problem of myths only giving different explanations (one saying it is solely in the traditional world, and another saying it can also be in the modern world).

B) While G advances an analogous situation, this answer choice can be eliminated because it is not address the generally accepted truths aspect and acknowledges its example is not a narrative which would not be included in J's version of myth.

C) I have no idea other than J does address a distinction between traditional societies and the modern world.

D) It does not do this, regardless this is irrelevant.

E) It does call into question J's version/definition of myth by showing an example where a myth is not a narrative but still operates as a myth.

Please help! Thanks!!

Y'all,

I have a 3.49 gpa at the end of my junior year due to a very rough sophomore year, and am thinking of applying to law schools in the fall. Will law schools wonder why I don't just sit out this admissions cycle and apply next year, since my grades show a nice upward trend? The real reason I am insistent on applying this cycle is because I am an international student and finding a job within the 90 days after graduation as stipulated by my F-1 visa will be hard with a mere Psych degree.

My question is: should I just apply to schools that are within my reach [T25 - T40] this cycle, or should I (to the great consternation of my quintessential South Asian parents) return home for a year and apply next year with a ~ 3.65?

I haven't taken the LSAT yet, but with the few practice tests I've done, I'm averaging a 167 and really want to bring it up to a 170.

Thank you!

I will be taking the September LSAT at the college I currently attend. At least 5 of my scantron tests returned to me in undergrad classes had grading mistakes, and since I caught the mistake I salvaged a few points.

Am I unable to make sure this does not happen on the LSAT? I don't suppose they give the graded tests back, right?

I purchased 7Sage about 2 months ago to help my prep for the September (and maybe, but hopefully not December) LSAT. My purchase of 7Sage was primarily driven by my weakness in Logic Games. I just completed the LG curriculum, and I have improved tremendously since starting. The 7Sage method is definitely the best and simplest method I have learned. I am, however, still struggling with timing. What should I do in these final six weeks to really be ready for test day? I've seen that some people just do full sections over and over again... what are your thoughts?

You all have been asking for PT 78 explanations, and they're finally ready. To kick things off, we're putting them out for 80% off!

Video explanations for PT 78 are now available for $5.97 (Regular price: $29.97) for a limited time.

You also get +1 month to your existing 7Sage account for the purchase.

https://classic.7sage.com/addons/?ss_select=lsat_78

Early bird discount expires August 26th.

Note: If you have Ultimate+, the explanations have been automatically added to your account.

(If the link doesn't work: Mouse over "Course" in the menu, click "Extensions and PrepTests". You should see PrepTest 78 after scrolling about one screen down.)

Besides the questions in the title...

What do you usually do during those days?

I took a couple of days off and sometimes I even needed 1 week or so to get refreshed...I feel like I take too many days off...

I only see "No Active Terms/Programs for this Law School" when I select a US school and choose to start/submit an application, the Canadian schools show the Fall 2016 options but say the Fall 2017 aren't available yet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone,

I am thinking about upgrading to Ultimate + but when I looked at it, it only says +3 months access when I upgrade to Ultimate+, but when I log out and look at it it says 18 months access, does that mean if I upgrade from starter I only get a total of 6 months (3 mos from starter, 3 mos of Ultimate) or are my reading skills so messed up I only understand RC passages?

[Admin note: Ultimate+ includes 12 months now]

I'm currently registered for the Sep. '16 LSAT, but am only 65% of the way done with the Ultimate+ Core Curriculum (~80hrs left, started Grouping Games lessons yesterday). I decided to not work and am studying full time (goal of 30hrs/wk), but am worried that if I stick with the Sep. 24 test date I'll only have about 4 weeks to do PTs after finishing CC.

I definitely want to get 170+ on the test, and my diagnostic was a 157 (168 BR).

Based on similar threads and advice here, it sounds like I should postpone to December - I'd still be able to apply this cycle, and would have more time to ensure a higher score. I was originally planning to wait until finishing the CC and seeing how I did on PTs to make a decision, but I think it may behoove me to make a decision sooner rather than later.

Just want to check my reasoning and get thoughts from the community. Thank you!

Hey everyone!

I'm currently studying to take the December LSAT, and am at about 75% through the CC (will have studied for a little less than a year by December) and am really trying to let it sink in as much as possible and have been taking my time with it.

I'd love to be ready by December, but know that it's better to set yourself a goal score and not an LSAT ultimatum.

Is anyone studying for December with a February retake in mind? This December would be my second take, and February would be my third and final.

Most school's I've talked to (at the D.C. LSAC Forum) stated that they still accept the February LSAT score and it didn't sound like it would be too crazy detrimental to my application process.

Know anyone that took the February LSAT with a happy application outcome?

Suggestions? Ideas?

Hello,

First, I should note that I currently alternate between bubbling after each page and bubbling after circling all of my answers in the test booklet, depending on how confident I feel about the previous 5-10 questions I answered. During timed PTs, I've noticed that I occasionally lose track of which question I'm supposed to be bubbling and make an error that I then have to spend additional time fixing as I finish double checking everything.

Throughout high school and college, whenever I took timed multiple choice tests, I developed a strategy of writing down my answer in a larger size on the left side of each question's answer choices. When it was time to start bubbling answers on the scantron, this allowed me to instantly see the answer for each question and easily memorize the next sequence of answers for the 3-5 questions on every page. I found it to be much more efficient and accurate than tracking the circled answer for each question and going back and forth between the test and scantron.

I never had a professor suspect me of helping someone else cheat (most likely because the multiple versions of an exam were strategically distributed, so copying my answers would be pointless) nor question me about the purpose of annotating my answers like this. Because I am very comfortable with the aforementioned bubbling strategy, I think it would help me keep better track of the question I'm bubbling and significantly reduce the time I spend bubbling answers. Obviously, I want to be sure that I am allowed to do this on test day. After looking at the "Misconduct and Irregularities" page on the LSAC's website, it specifies that "copying or sharing information, or any other form of cheating, on the LSAT" is considered a misconduct/irregularity. I have been unable to find a clear-cut answer about whether a test administrator would assume my bubbling strategy to be some type of cheating. Could such a strategy be considered to be a form of "copying" or "sharing information" by a test administrator or be flagged for some other reason by the LSAC? . If anyone could help clarify this for me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Matt

I know this is a common topic, however I'm new to this forum sooooo I figured I might as well share my diagnostic and see if anyone has any advice or encouragement:) I still have a couple more years of undergrad to go before I apply to law school. I wrote a diagnostic the other day and scored a 140:( I need a 160 to get into a certain school because my GPA will probably be around 3.9 out of 4.0! I will have about 8 months to study when the time comes. Has anyone here gone from around 140 to 160, or know of anyone who has?

Hi, as the title says,

I'm just wondering, how many PTs do you still have to do if you want to take the Sept. test?

Did you already finish all of the PTs you want to finish and now are in only a reviewing stage, or do you still have fresh PTs you are going to do? How are you going to spend until Sept. test?

Just wondering because I saw someone said if you are not in the target score range now, Sept. test may not be the one you want to take...

Thanks,

I hope I help someone out and provide some encouragement for anyone who is trying to score above a 165. My LSAT prep has been a long and treacherous road for me. My diagnostic exam was a 142, when I found out my score, I thought I could never score high enough to get into my dream schools. It was a slap to the face and a good wake up call because I realized how serious this exam was. I studied more than 30 hours a week, with extensive blind review sessions and endless hours of going back to the curriculum to understand the fundamentals of the LSAT. Regardless of how long I studied I was barely increasing my score and all my friends who were studying with me were meeting their goals on the LSAT ( I was really happy for them but I was left discouraged). I honestly gave up when I couldn't score above a 150, I felt hopeless and was extremely burnt out. I was unmotivated to the point where I said F*** It! I took about 2 months off from studying for the LSAT (I started studying in June 2015) and I came to the realization, that becoming a lawyer is my dream job. As a kid, everyone asked you what do you want to be when you grow up, and I always answered A LAWYER! Thereon after, I didn't study harder but smarter, I knew burnout was a real thing and it can be a real B**** to deal with, so I set a schedule and stuck to it. I occasionally went out with friends and tried to exercise more to help me relax. My score was quickly rising from a 142 to a 158 ( my June 2016 LSAT Score). I was really happy with my increase in score, 16 points isn't that bad of an increase, but I was not satisfied because I knew I could do better. So after I received my June LSAT score, I took 2 weeks to gather my thoughts and understand how I should approach studying again after nearly a month off. I set myself a schedule of 6 hours a day (from 9 AM - Noon and from 1PM- 4 PM). I never went above this study time and never went over (except when taking the Practice tests). I am proud to say we are nearly 1 month and 13 days away from the exam and I have exceeded my expectations and I am averaging a 167. I just honestly want to say, when you feel unmotivated, discouraged, and beaten, you have to find it within yourself to make a comeback. I felt as if the LSAT was Ivan Drago from Rocky IV and I was Rocky. When it seems like you lost and you have been defeated just remember the bell hasn't rung yet, so you have to get up and start giving it your all and come out the fight VICTORIOUS!

*Please excuse any typos*

Hi guys,

Was wondering if I could get your advice on my situation: I'm currently doing alright on my LG and LR sections, but can't seem to break 20/27 on my RC sections. Which 7sage package would you recommend I get if I am planning to give my test on September 24 (ie. little over a month left to study)?

Thanks!

Hey guys! I'm currently studying for the September LSAT and I have been self studying with the Powerscore books but I feel like I need more explanation than they offer. So I am looking into purchasing a 7sage course.

Of the ultimate and starter, which would you guys advice and do you think this will be enough as far as course contents to increase my scores?

Also, if I purchase the ultimate and use it for 4 months (I am planning to take the December exam as well because I don't think I will be fully prepared for the September exam), is it a waste of money? Or should I cancel my registration for the September exam and stick to only taking the December exam?

7Sagers,

This Monday, at 9 pm EST, I’ll do a second round of live lightning consultations.

What’s a lightning consultation? Basically, I’ll try to be as helpful as I can in five minutes. We might brainstorm personal statement topics, strategize about addenda, or discuss LORs.

If you want a free five-minute consultation about your law school application, I’ll need you to post a few things in the comments section:

I’ll get through as many people as I can in one hour, working in a mostly random order. Please don’t post to this thread if you can’t show up for the consultation. If you do show up, test your microphone beforehand. Make sure you have a strong connection to the internet, and that you can speak and be heard on GoToMeeting. If your microphone isn’t working, I’ll have to skip you.

To join, just follow this link: https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/196286165

We’ll use Citrix GoToMeeting. The meeting ID is 196-286-165.

Hi,

So I saw ppl are usually "drilling" in the early stage of preparation...

What does this exactly mean? Do you do all of the questions published?

Do people actually have to do all of or most of the questions to achieve a certain score?

Eat this, LSAT.

Note:

So my laptop broke today and I'm using a new computer but I can't get the videos to play! They load but when I click play it doesn't move! I've tried playing with the cookies, clearing the cache, and re-downloading flash player nothing works. It seems that youtube videos do not work either. I have tried Firefox and Safari. Anyone have any idea what the problem is?
