hey guys, how long does it take to BR and do you have a systematic approach that works best for you? I feel like i need to experiment a bit with my BR process. Thanks in advance!

In the University of Chicago application there is a section where it asks you to input the following and gives the following fields:

List the academic honors and awards, or other recognitions you have received.

Name of Award/Honor - - - - Date/Term Received - - - - - Description - - - - - - School

____________________ - - - - _________________ - - - - - _________ - - - - - - __________

I have some awards that are from athletics. Do I include them here? I feel like it depends on how you read the instruction sentence.

If so, some are from organizations not schools. Do I put the organization in that field or the school I was attending?

All of my awards are currently listed on my résumé. Do I list them here also? Do I remove the awards from my résumé?

Should I just email the admissions office at UChicago and ask?

Even simple things get complicated when it comes to law school.

I've been using the app "Elevate" for the past week, and I just wanted to share. It's already helped me with reading skills, and there's lots of cool exercises to do to train and improve cognitive skills. It's a free app (although there is a paid pro version), and it's available for apple and android. It's recommend you "train" everyday, which is less than 10 minutes.

LSAT prep can get really tiring, and even though Elevate is a learning/training app, it's actually quite fun!

Has anyone else used Elevate? If not, give it a try and let me know what you think!

I got PT 60s raw score around 165, but when I review PT 40s and 50s, I still got 159 and around. Really upset about that it. What will happen on PT 70s and on the real test?

Hey everyone!

This is my first post here. I'm planning to enroll with 7Sage imminently. Excited for the journey!

I have a copy of Mike Kim's Trainer and I was wondering if it's a good idea to incorporate it along with 7Sage's Core Curriculum.

Should I do one before the other instead? Does it even matter?

Additional info: I plan on taking the LSAT in September of next year

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I do not have an available printer that I can use without having to pay to print out certain problem sets at my school library. My biggest problem is the time limit still, finding the right answer has not been an issue for me. I was wondering if printing out the problems to do actual marking on the problem sheet would increase my time dramatically and also help me improve my overall score. As of now I am just doing using scratch paper to answer the questions. I am still learning and improving but I was just wondering if having an actual paper document in front of me to mark would would help me more to the point where it is worth printing it out. Thanks!

Did anybody else think that 77 was light-years easier than 76? Some people that I have talked to have said that 76 was easier but I do not see that at all. The games on 77 were much easier. Also, on 77 you had easier concepts like casual reasoning that were stressed

I am a little confused. I got a raw score of 80 on my latest LSAT. What scaled score does that translate to?

Will they start over the process even if we just want to ask additional accommodation?

Will they elliminate the accommodations they have granted?

Hey guys,

I am graduating from college in the Spring of 2017. My projected GPA will be around 3.7 or 3.69.

Does it make a difference for law school admissions to have a GPA of 3.7 as opposed to 3.69?

Thank you.

I know why C is right, but still can't put my finger on why D is wrong.

So we also wanted to check in this week on the time change. Since we've been going so late, the idea was to start a little earlier for the east coast folks. I figured, the east coast usually needs to leave early so let's bump it up a little for them. If west coast needs to be a little late, no problem, it'll balance out. My worry is that the psychology of being late may be different enough from leaving early that folks are willing to leave early but not arrive late. Or, the drop in attendance could just be the normal post test attendance drop. Anyway, I've attached a poll so that you guys can pitch in. We just want to make sure we're accommodating as many people as possible. Thanks guys!

Hello all, I postponed writing the September LSAT because I didn't do any of the 60s and 70s. Now I am registered for the December lsat and i'm wondering if my game plan is strong: so full timed PT 60,62,64,66,68, and ALL of the 70s before the real test. As you can see i'm not doing all of the 60s (I don't have enough time) and I'm wondering skipping 5 of them (doing every other one) is an okay game plan? I might just do timed LG sections for the ones i'm skipping.... any suggestions?

When there is a premise saying A cause B, For example.

A.

Premise(1): A Cause B

Premise(2). There is B

Conclusion: There is A

Is this a valid way of reasoning?

B. This is valid reasoning, right?

Premise(1): A Cause B

Premise(2). There is A

Conclusion: There is B

So I've taken a look all around the forums, and watched the videos on the Memory Method, but I was just wondering how you guys think I should try and implement the Memory Method into my test-taking habits for the December LSAT? I have the freedom to study everyday, so whatever you guys suggest is cool, I just want to improve my RC a little bit, at least (I'm consistently at like -13).

Essentially, I want to know how often to practice, and how I should practice using the Memory Method?

Thank you guys, appreciate any help I can get!

I know a while back we had a "Hamilton Thread" so with the release of the 8th Harry Potter story, I figured I would see if there were other Potterhead/folks 7Sagers out there. So just like the Hamilton thread, this is just for fun!

Whos excited? I usually read a new HP book (cover to cover) the night it comes out, but not sure if I will do that tonight. I'm actually getting the book delivered to my house between midnight and 2am (Thanks Amazon Prime Now). Im am currently waiting for 9:45 so I can place the order.

I plan to see play(s) (hopefully) in April in London as a part of my celebratory I am finally done with the LSAT Europe trip.

So a place for us the Potter fans.

PS fun fact, I was a volunteer moderator (Host Wtch Fawkes) on Harry Potter.com from 2001-2003 helping to moderate the boards. I was over Gryffindor and the Sorting Hat threads. Hey... can I put that on my resume @david.busis haha It was post college :)

Hey guys so I am a football player at a Division I football school with a scholarship. I'm not trying to say that being a student athlete is a justification for a low GPA but I am sitting around a 3.3 cumulative but a 3.9 major GPA. However, I'm scoring in the high 160's/low 170's for the LSAT, and I still got 7 more weeks till I take it in December. I also have 2 years of law internship experience and I have three solid letters of recommendation. I also know that some applications allow you to justify a low GPA in an essay. However, I heard that the Law School application process is computerized, and it automatically denies students below a certain combination of GPA and LSAT score. So am I kind of already screwed over in the application process? or do I just need to increase my LSAT score even more? Anyone's opinions would be nice. My goal schools are NYU, Columbia, and USC. Thanks!

Are any of you guys in the older crowd?

Why is (A) wrong?

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-50-section-2-question-14/

As I am completing the core curriculum, we are required to obtain PT 39 and 40. These two tests are (for me) nearly unobtainable. The only access is to buy a book on amazon going for almost $140. I'm curious to how other Sager's work through this conundrum. Is there a better way to obtain these two tests without dishing out over a $100? If not, how did you get around this barrier? Perhaps am I looking in the wrong place for these two tests, or have other people just skipped PT 39 and 40 in the curriculum (which I am contemplating doing)? Any thoughts? I have found all other PT's I need, just not PT 39 and 40 :-(

I think I am confused with causal argument and conditionality.

I felt when causal argument has something to do with explanation, giving explanation/hypothesis in the conclusion. Then, there is some kind of bi conditional relationship between cause and effect. (if there is a cause there must be effect, if there is a effect, there must be cause, and there is no alternative explanation)

However, if there is a premise describing a causal relationship, would it be okay to think that there is bi conditional relationship between cause and effect? I feel like there is only one way relationship. Cause being the sufficient condition and Effect being the necessary condition.

Plz Comment. I am using this idea when I am doing questions. I am still unsure.

...without burn out?

If so, how??

Hello all,

I thought I'd share my difference between my timed and blind review score. I apologize if this has been brought up in previous discussion threads. I have finished most of the curriculum and plan on taking the test in June 2016.

I took PT 56 (Dec 2008) and my timed score was a 152 and my BR was a 173. To me, this is a huge difference and I honestly thought my BR was a fluke. I was not expecting to see that big of a jump. I was wondering if anyone else has been in my position and how they were able to close the gap between their timed and blind review scores. Any strategies/anecdotes would be helpful!

Also, what lessons should I take from these scores? Does the blind review mean it is possible for me to hit a 170+? And as a person working a full time job (I study after work and on weekends), is it possible to improve that quickly by June?

Thanks again for your advice and thoughts!

Hi,

I was just wondering...

Anyone had this combination before the break?

Would there always be the experiment section in the morning?

Thanks
