Study hard until the 9th. Then, take a nice break and reward yourself by either a) kicking the demon's asses during the invasions, b) playing the new demon hunter class or c) doing a bit of both.

You get iLvl700 gear from the invasions, so stock up! (Don't forget those Doomsayer achievements too, they go away after prepatch.)

Hey Guys,

I thought I'd share some cool information. So, as you all may know, this LSAT prep stuff can get pretty expensive. Well, I was doing some research, and I found a scholarship called the Franklin LSAT Prep Scholarship, offered through the University of Washington. Any one can apply from any school, weather you are an undergrad or post grads, particularly if you demonstrate financial need. All you need is your resume, transcript, and an essay.

I applied to the scholarship and I was awarded $500 dollars that very day to go towards a prep course. So, I would look into it and and do your research because there are other scholarships out there like this one.

  • Note: For the purposes of the call, we like to check our group blind review score together at the very end of the call :) So at least don't say ... "No guys, really, it's D, I checked it.” KEEP THE CORRECT ANSWER TO YOURSELF. Win the argument with your reasoning.
  • These groups work best when folks from ALL stages of prep and with all different goals join in! Not just for "super-preppers" and definitely not just for the casual LSATer (does such a person exist?).
  • The only expectation anyone has for these calls is for you to have fun and ask questions as you desire. We are just a bunch of LSAT lovers who gather via GoToMeeting and intellectually slaughter each test.

    I honestly have been thinking about writing a review about how amazing this pencil sharpener really is. But I was hesitant to do so. But I have been so happy with it that I had to share this with you all. Maybe someone will find this useful and make that change.

    The History: For the past three months, I have been using only pencil to study for LSAT. This is because I want to get into the habit of working with them. I was a full believer in buying the 46 cents pencil-sharpener from Walmart. I hate wasting money on stupid things, and I definitely believed a pencil sharpener at the end of the day was just a pencil sharpener. The result: I hated sharpening pencils! They would often break, get stuck in the sharpener, and I literally had to buy a pack of 12 pencils per two weeks with a new sharpener because I think it stopped working as well as it did the first couple of days. It was so frustrating! Sometimes, that pencil sharpener would actually split my pencil in halves!!!!!!!! So, one day, while I was watching one of Nicole's video's one youtube, I think for reading comprehension, and she mentioned the Blackwing Palomino sharpener. I looked it up on amazon...$12 bucks!!!! I know in the scope of things its not much, but to me it seemed a bit excessive for just a pencil sharpener. So I basically continued trying to work and be frustrated with my cheapest Walmart sharpener. But one night, I realized enough was enough and I just put my values of being cheap on sharpener's aside and just bought it. :)

    The Result 1 Month Later: It's honestly one of the most amazing pencil sharpener's that I have come across. Lets start with the fact that it has yet to break ANY of my pencils, lead or the whole pencil, while sharpening! Also, the pencil is sharpened to a perfect pointy way which makes writing with it, especially when doing games where you want you pencils to write crisply so your boards look neat and clean, so much more a reality. I have yet to buy another sharpener or another PENCIL PACK! It's so efficient in sharpening that I barely have to sharpen often and because it doesn't break my pencil's lead, I don't have to go buy as many pencils which in the end have saved me much more money than I did with the 46 cents Walmart sharpener.

    Verdict: BUY IT!!!! lol I don't think I would buy it later in life where I will not be using pencils as much but right now when I am working 6-10 hours a day with a pencil, a good sharpener makes a difference! Plus one less thing that's frustrating me while I am studying for a very frustrating test. :)

    Also, If you guys have any other cool suggestions please let me know :)

    So I'm aware I'm not trying to get into a T-14 school. I have actually set my eyes on a rather low ranking regional school, where I intend to live after law school. My question is how much studying does it really take to get a 160. I've heard so many mixed reviews that just a few PT's makes breaking into the 60's rather easy. My cold diagnostic was a 152. Looking to hear other people's stories on how much and how long it took to start hitting the 60's. Please just don't say two months, like I want to know how many hours a day/week, what material, ect. Any advice helps.

    I am currently studying for the LSAT 3x a week plus both Saturday and Sunday. After labor day, I am looking to continue this schedule until the DEC LSAT. Anyone want to join, I am on the upper east side of Manhattan during the day (near Hunter college) I am able to meet 3 days a week M-Th. starting 9:30-2:30 Plus the weekend, we can meet any where during the weekend. I am not available during the evening. Since I work 3pm until late evening. I don't have a strong strength, well maybe grouping games, sequence games and Logic Reason such as main point, weaken, main conclusion. i am definitely need help with RC. I am currently studying with 3 people. One amazing guy but it will be taking the test in sept. Once he took the test, he might not be available to study with us. So if anyone here is serious and interested PM me please, we can work together to conquer this LSAT! Thank you. I am looking forward to hearing from you guys.

    LSAT PrepTest C2

    Is there any way or anywhere to purchase a blank copy of this test without purchasing the whole Super Prep II? Or am I out of luck with that?

    0

    I've been studying for the LSAT starting in early June and whilst other sections of the test have been manageable, LG section does not seem to show any improvement. I consistently get at least 1-2 questions wrong and even though I watch the videos and do the questions again, I always get at least one question wrong. I feel so stuck in the cycle of failure in the LG section. I keep on getting discouraged by my score. I am currently doing fool-proof method but this does not seem to give me any boost in scores.

    Any advice will be deeply apprecited :)!!!

    Can anybody tell me what logical reasoning questions that you must be wary of extreme language (only, whenever, all, etc) when approaching? I know inference questions ("the information above provides the most support for which one of the following") but what other questions is it important to be wary of extreme language and keep it vague? Also just on a side note, why is it important to be wary of extreme language on inference questions? I have ever come across an all encompassing answer for this.

    Hey everyone!

    I'm planning on joining the BR sessions once I've finished the 7Sage curriculum (I prob. have another 3 weeks or so to go), but I'd love to connect with people on here and maybe implement a once a week study buddy/LSAT support group.

    If there is anything like it already out there, I'd love to join! I don't have any nearby friends that live close enough to study with me, and (as I'm sure you all know) it's hard to talk about the LSAT and all the struggles with people that aren't involved in it.

    I'd like to start a group with the goal to keep ourselves motivated and talk about difficulties we are experiencing and help each other through them. We don't necessarily have to study together, but we could have different discussion topics revolving around areas of difficulty and frustrations?

    I had something similar going in December of last year when I was studying for the Dec. LSAT and found that it literally saved my sanity during this whole process. We all communicated through Google Hangout.

    Let me know what you think/if you're interested!

    I have some questions regarding letters of recommendations. I have yet to get/take an LSAT that I'm ready to submit with my application, so I am still aiming to take it one last time. And I am trying to, as the good people of 7sage have advised, "aim for a score, not a date." That being said, I'm hoping to apply during this cycle (which does sort of put me in a date--either September/December 2016, but we'll see). Should I still ask for LOR from professors? Would they feel offended if I don't end up applying this cycle? If I discuss this with my professors, might they see this as irresponsible/not worth their time? Outside of LSAT prep, I am trying (just beginning) to start with my applications.

    Thank you, in advance.

    Hey Guys,

    I was wondering if anybody could tell me what transcripts I have to submit for the CAT. Do I have to send AP scores from high school that counted for college credit? What about high school classes that I took at a college level from local colleges? Anybody know?

    First off, I will be applying to law schools this fall after the September LSAT. Do you all have any pointers regarding exactly when's a good time to begin the application process? For instance, when should I contact my references for the Letters of Recommendations? I feel very alone in this process, and don't necessarily feel like I have a lot of people with this sort of know-how. Any advice, pointers, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. :)

    Okay, here is my conundrum: I will be taking the LSAT for the 3rd and final time in September. However, I don't feel absolutely confident that I will be able to raise my score to my desired level from now until September. I am considering postponing until December, but am curious how much that late application might affect my chances of being admitted to the law school of my choice, assuming I meet my target LSAT score. This is a great community, and was curious as to what you 7sagers would advise; postpone till December in hopes of a higher LSAT at the risk of a late application, or go ahead and push through these courses quickly, hope for the best on my 3rd LSAT, and apply to school early (middle October)???

    Hi, I was wondering whether anyone could explain why E is correct.

    I was not sure about E because it says more than half of the students received a grade of B-or higher, but I thought it's not nec, true because there might be other factors influenced their grades, such as test score etc. Even though some students attend all classes, they might have done poorly on exams and it might result in receiving grades lower than B-, so I thought E cannot be inferred from the stimuli, especially the part "more than half..." at least some, maybe, but more than half is too much.

    Could anyone explain this question?:(

    No motivation?

    Hey guys!

    I'm new to this so bear with me please. I'm taking the September LSAT and I have no motivation to study. I know how serious it is and how important it is to do well, but I can't seem to get out of this rut. I take a class that meets twice a week and I love going; but when I'm not in the class, it's not the same for me.

    Maybe I'm the type of person who needs to study with a buddy. I'm curious to hear if any of you ever dealt with something similar? Please let me know :)

    I know that softs can play a bigger factor for NTD students when it comes to admissions. What are some of those? I have picked up a few extra things over the past 2 years to help but wanted to see if @david.busis and perhaps @"Mike Spivey" could add a few tips or suggestions. While we are getting close to application time, there are still a few programs and opportunities available to do before needing to submit apps.

    For instance, would being a "Fulbright Specialist/Candidate" have as much weight as a traditional "Fulbright Scholar" as a soft? I have often read that being a Fulbright or a Marshall Scholar is an outstanding soft that carries weight.

    What about other things like:

    Serving on a nonprofit board?

    Lengthy Volunteering?

    Conference Speaking?

    Publishing in a Trade Magazine?

    Obtaining or updating professional certificates?

    For instance, I have both a PHR and a SHRM-CP. I updated the CLEs for my PHR so it goes through 2020, my SHRM-CP expires in 2018, but I can update it too in a month, to extend it to 2021. Or is just having those enough? The are both Human Resources certifications, equivalent to a CPA in the account world. You have to have enough experience to qualify to take them exam, pass (it has less than a 65% pass rate) and then maintain it via CLEs. I have been certified since 2004.

    Do those hold any sway as far as "good softs" go?

    Does anyone else know of important softs? I know I overlooked a career, but I will assume that those that are 30+ have had at least 5 years of professional experience in their field.

    Hey guys,

    I am a big advocate of avoiding burnout by taking one day per week to do NOTHING LSAT related.

    So what are some fun things you guys enjoy to do when you're not studying hard for the LSAT?

    I'll start:

    - I like going out to eat at some of my favorite restaurants with my friends. I think it is good to get away and spend some time with people who aren't taking the LSAT. Nothing like sharing a bunch of apps and eating a delicious meal with your friends!

    - I like to play piano/guitar. Playing music for me immediately takes my mind off of the LSAT. I need to concentrate and my brain need str be completely focused on what I'm doing. Plus it's fun! Also, every Sunday on my LSAT day off, I perform music with my faith group at my church. I think it is important to have something fun to look forward to. That definitely helps! :D

    - I like to run. Pretty boring, but it is nice to just listen my music and go for a run around the park by where I live. I always feel much less anxious and upbeat after a run.

    - Last but not least, I like to watch Netflix, Hulu, HBOGo shows.

    Hoping someone can explain why the answer is D.

    I understand why A, B and E are incorrect. I got down to C and D but chose C and I'll explain why.

    D makes an absolute conclusion. It says, "It is therefore unavoidable that the level of vehicle safety will not be optimal." In other words, "Vehicle Safety WILL NOT (absolute) be optimal." Our stimulus however, makes no absolutely claim, instead using the word "overly optimistic (unlikely)"

    I read through the Power-score forum and the admin was attempting to claim that D did not make an absolute claim. I just can't get behind this.

    I realize that C ends with a conditional. But it's still a correct conditional that parallels what we see in the stimulus.

    Feeling frustrated because this makes no sense!

    I used the Memory Method and it greatly improved my RC ability, but I haven't done it on PTs thinking it'll too much time to forfeit.

    Do any of use continue to use the Memory Method on PTs by covering the passage and recalling the main point of all the paragraphs?
