The book is really expensive, is it possible to just buy the new test from the book separately, like from Cambridge, Amazon, etc.?

When do I know I should rely on intuition before attempting to diagram everything?

When do I know this formulaic A->B method 100% works?

I don't know how to be selective about which approach to take with complete confidence without wasting precious minutes!

PrepTest 22 - Section 4 - Question 13 illustrates my point.

If I just straight up went with my intuition, I would've chosen D with a good feeling because it looks pretty much like what the whole passage is saying while the rest of the answer choices look pretty off, but because I attempted to solve this question like a math problem, I couldn't FIND THE EXACT ANSWER I was looking for.

I wonder how other students feel about this. Advice much needed and appreciated.

Just for clarity....... If someone was interested in purchasing this option would they get 4 rounds of editing for their PS, DS, optional essays for each school, "why"essays for each school, and addendums. If so that would be an amazing deal and one I would have considered if I were still in the application process (that is if I had any money).

Recommend replacing RC Categories (currently based on Passage Subject) with Question Type (e.g., Main Point/Purpose, Inference, Strengthen, Weaken, Parallel Reasoning, etc.). This change to LSAT Analytics would provide better targeted and "actionable" feedback for RC - consistent with what's already in place for LR

Hey, could anyone please help me understand how answer choice B does not weaken the argument? if there were more people with more than 6 months treatment responding then the absolute number of people representing 36 percent will become more than the absolute number of people representing 20 percent. If this increase in people with more than 6 months treatment happens wouldn't that give an alternative explanation of the discrepancy in percentages?

Hey Everyone,

Hope your studies are going well! I just have a quick question, and would like to read about your experiences regarding the matter. I have been studying for the LSAT since mid-July (~6 months). When I first started, I could push out 6 hours pretty easily.

As of late, I have only been able to study for 1-3 hours/day. Not sure why, maybe it's my new, temporary schedule. All I know is, by around 8 P.M., I'm tired. Not tired as in "bored." But, slightly exhausted - think tipsy...slightly buzzed, what have you.

What do you guys and gals do in such a situation? Power through until your "set end time" (10 P.M for me)? Or, stop and rest for the rest of the night.

To give you an idea of what I mean by "tired," I often find myself reading a sentence two or three times before I can say "Ah, I get it!" Under optimal circumstances, I could glaze over the same sentence and understand it immediately.

When an author starts off a RC passage with a Question is that generally a phenom begging 4 an explanation? or generally speaking what is the purpose of questions posed throughout an RC passage? thanks

June BR Group Schedule: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/6171/june-test-takers-group-br-schedule-updated

I’ll be there. :) Hope to see YOU there!

Please click the link and comment if you plan on participating.

Note:

My RC scores and LR scores are rather consistent.

They are not perfect but I usually go -2 (easier ones) to -5(more difficult ones) on LR and -3 to -6/7 (depending on difficulty).

Of course, I need to further ameliorate these sections as well, but my real problem is with LG.

Two days ago, I got -2. On a good day I am getting - 0 or -1.

Today... I got - 10.... This has happened a few times before.

I got 10 wrong mostly because I ran out of time.

I have taken quite a number of PTs, and I have gone back to 30's because of the ample amount of time I have before June.

My RC and LR scores are usually not too far off from my usual testing range.

But why is it that my LG scores are drastically fluctuating?

I think I have timing issues on LG.

What are possible remedies?

It would be awesome if there was a time frame for each passage like there are for the games! ;P

Hello, all!

It's been awhile since I've posted on here (being in law school and all). I was wondering if anyone who previously used 7Sage--and is currently in law school--can share their law school experience. This may also give current 7Sage students an idea of what to expect when they get into law school. I'll start with my own experience.

First semester was hell--as it should be. My legal research class was graded--in other schools it it a pass/fail class--which added to my stress. The paranoia of the curve ate at me and I started to analyze people based on how prepared they were for class, or how much they actually knew vs. bsing the professor when cold called (because most classes only have finals, so it's hard to compare yourself with other students, at least until the first semester grades are released). There are plenty of other things I can discuss but I just want to use this to break the ice. Below I will also have some advice for those that want to go to law school or those about to head into their first semester.

It is extremely important to focus only on yourself when you're in law school. Do not worry about other people, or how smart you think someone is. In law school it's all about pacing yourself and focusing on yourself. The people who usually do the best in law school tend to only focus on themselves, not what others are doing. Make friends early, form a study group within the first month, and meet at least once a week--not during school hours. If you don't already know how to outline, look up outlines from previous students at the school you will be attending. Some outlines at my law school are tailored to a specific professor and go well with how the class is structured/taught, while other outlines use generic formatting. Start outlining before school starts--your school probably has first week assignments posted a couple of weeks before school begins. Supplements are awesome, especially the E&Es (Examples and Explanations) although other supplements are great as well. Your professor may recommend some supplements based on what previous students have told them--you should really pay attention to those supplements.

If I have any more advice between my classes I will edit this posting. I hope others can contribute or share what they learned about law school.

P.S. first semester is hell, but it's to weed out those who do not truly want to be there, or who can't compete enough to be there. Once the first semester/year is over it feels like home--in my case anyway.

On an iPhone 6. No issues with audio on any other apps. This app has an annoying echo now. Please advise.

what's the rule of thumb? longer they havent decided, the longer they trying not to say no? I'm on 4 weeks no without a Yes or No

Hi all,

Need some advice. I began my prep the middle of last month and am planning to take the June '16 LSAT and possibly taking again in September if need be (which, from what I am gathering about the nature of this exam, will probably be the case). I am curious as to what a realistic school schedule is for studying. I only enrolled in two classes for the spring semester at my university. One class is going to be super easy and the other shouldn't be extremely taxing either. I am still a bit concerned as to whether it is a good idea to take any classes at all during LSAT prep. Classes started this week. Thus far, I have been putting in about seven hours per week day and about four hours on either a Saturday or Sunday (depending on which day I want to lay around and be a bum).

I want to rationalize with myself and say two classes is fine, but my gut is telling me otherwise. I do not work, nor do I need to at the moment. Is this a realistic schedule or am I taking on too much?

Thanks for hearing me out. I am new to 7Sage and strongly considering buying the Ultimate.

What's up with people that use If-then statement with a qualifier like "could". If X, then Y must follow. It's necessary. What's the point/impact of "could" follow. It annoys me that the necessary condition has an escape. Example:

If not enough new homes are built in 2016, then home prices could rise.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BAxkEuIAbNL/?taken-by=narresearch

Is "as long as" a sufficient condition indicator or does it depend on context?

ex) As long as you study for the LSAT, you will get into any law school.

= LSAT --> Any LS

Someone please clarify this for me.

Great thanks in advance! :)

June BR Group Schedule: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/6171/june-test-takers-group-br-schedule-updated

NOTE: I front-loaded the PT 70 - 75 because I believe that people need to get eyes on 70s sooner rather than later. We’ll still have PT 76 and 77 available to PT in May. Trust me when I say it is worth it to do these tests twice. And if you don’t feel comfortable hitting the 70s yet, don’t worry. We’re going to repeat this cycle of PT 70-75 at the end of February just in case.

Please click the link and comment if you plan on participating.

Note:

Need a bit of help on LG before February exam. Scored a 163 today and went -6 on LG on PT74. I want to get this down to at least -2/3. How feasible is this and should I use so Pacificos guide or do times LG sections? I think my issue is freezing/timing

Hey everyone,

I've noticed a strange pattern of the answers I tend to miss on LR and wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this and if you have found a solution to fixing the problem.

I have noticed that I am not necessarily missing a particular question type but am instead missing clusters of questions together. It usually happens around question 11 or 12 & I will miss 2-3 questions in a row, then it will happen again somewhere around 17-20 where I will miss 2-3 sometimes even 4.

I'm not sure if I'm stumbling because I run into a difficult question & then loose confidence on the next few questions, or if it could be mental fatigue or something else I just can't put my finger on.

The same thing sometimes happens with RC on just one passage where I miss a few in a row, but that I could understand better because it could just be a matter of not fully understanding a certain passage. The questions in LR are autonomous though which has me a little more confused, since I can go 10 questions in without any errors, and then miss 3, then another 5 without errors & then miss another 3 or so.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sheri

For the following statement "I only work on Tuesday," i translated it as Tuesday -> Work.. but I guess it's Work -> Tuesday.

Not sure why. "Only" is group 2 and introduces necessary condition (in this case, it's work). Did I get something wrong?

Thanks!

I have pretty much everything ready to go and to apply to law schools I want, but ofcourse haven't taken my lsat yet til Feb 6. Do I apply to law schools now or do I have to wait til I get my Lsat score to apply and submit everything? If so for which term would the law school be accepting me for?

Thanks,

Ellie

I'm looking to start a study group for NYC area. I am personally studying for the June test. It could be a BR group. Anything really. I just think that studying together is a lot more motivating than studying alone.

This question just doesn't seem to click for me any which way I look at it... I don't see how answer choice (A) is the correct answer. If someone has any insight as to how to better approach this question, be my guest! Thanks!

http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-63-section-3-question-18/

I've been working on this section for the last 6 months continuously and nothing seems to be working. Should I just skip a passage in Feburary? I'm going -12 on average every section.
