Hi guys,

I took PT 78 today after having taken this exam on the official test date and got a 166, which was much better than my first score. Would the score I got for this exam count as a fresh take? I didnt review PT 78 after I got my score report. This is one of the few potentially fresh takes that I have left and I would like to know how much weight I can put on this score to be reflective of my skills and test day performance

So my timed PTs are much higher than what I got on the actual test, and I'm at almost 100% accuracy untimed. Do any of y'all have some quick tips and tricks on going just a little faster (mostly logic games), or just how to replicate PT scores on the actual day?

Hello,

How did you guys translate question 9 in the quiz to lawgic? I read the sentence like this "without a will testifying the transferal (WTT), the state of California will auction the properties (AP)." /WTT --------> AP

I am bit confused about the translation in the lesson. The two ideas selected in the video are "will testifying transferal (WTT)" and "California has no choice (/CC) ." /WTT --------> /CC or CC --------------> WTT. If I were to approach this question mechanically, this makes sense. But what is the sentence actually saying? The confusing bit for me is what the CC here means when you take the contrapositive (California has choice---- to do what?).

Any thoughts? Thanks

Hey guys,

Just wanted to ask if you're supposed to include your CAS/transcript GPA on your resume. Also, which GPA should you use to fill in the GPA blank in the "Education" section of the application?

Thanks!

I've noticed that I have been getting some questions wrong based on the vocabulary used in questions or answers. Does anyone know of a list of commonly used advanced vocab words that I can study? I just took PT19 and "erroneous" made me pick the wrong answer. Thanks! (I am a native english speaker, just neglected to learn SAT vocab in 11th grade)

Final BR before DDay!

Note:

I waived my right to see my letters. One recommender cc'ed me on the letter & I received it today. It reads on the bottom "cc: ____" -my name. Is this going to be harmful &/or should I not submit this letter with my applications? It's from a previous boss for whom I worked as his legal assistant. The letter is nice it's 2 paragraphs & short & sweet, not complaining I just wasn't sure if I expected something long & detailed or right to the point. I was glad he wrote me one, I'm a bit older & have been working quite some time, I do have 2 letters each from a professor. Any advice? Should I submit this one or hold off since anyone who reads it will know that I have as well.

Hi everyone, just wondering where it would be possible to get more material to practice my MP questions? Thanks!

... You're stressed. I know it, you know it, we ALL know it. But that's okay, because you're going to do great!!

Take a few minutes to breathe, relax, have a cup of coffee.. (Or a soda/water, if you don't drink that stuff.)

Sit back, relax! ..and enjoy some cute/funny cats.

Hi guys had a question regarding or. To determine whether or not it is the "inclusive" or "and" interpretation we use context. For exclusive interpretation we are to use a a biconditional indicator to show one or the other?

Correct me if I am wrong.

Hi guys, I am having a lot of difficulty with tough conditional logic questions. When it comes to translating these from english to lawgic I just mess everything up. What can I do??

I'm currently signed up for the September LSAT next weekend, but I plan on withdrawing from it because I don't feel ready. I've heard that if I take the December LSAT, even though pretty much every law school is willing to accept those scores, my chances of getting in might be lower/less scholarship money. I'm currently a full time student and I've been studying LSATs whenever I can. I made a pretty big leap from end of August until now, my average is about 162, but the last few I have taken under good, quiet conditions were around mid-160s (164, 166, 166). I'm aiming for a 170 but I'm not sure I can get there by December, nor do I want to lose out on a chance of getting into a great law school because I applied a little later in the cycle. Would it be better to wait for the next cycle (take the June 2017 LSAT, apply in the fall of 2017?) I would have already graduated by then, and would probably need to find a job or internship that is willing to take me for only a year. I've been struggling with these thoughts since September started. Thoughts, anyone?

I just wanted to thank @"J.Y. Ping" and 7sage for helping me in making my dream come true. This journey started with an alarming diagnostic almost a year ago, and to say I lost all hope is really an understatement. I know my story would have ended quite differently if I had never found 7sage—but thank god I did. And I am happy to say I will be attending University of Virginia Law next year; perhaps I'll see some of you there!

Hello!

I was confused between (B) and (C).

I thought the basic structure of argument in passage A is that since something has a bad assumption, so it doesn't work and thus must not be used.

I understand (C) is a good answer choice, but I wonder how (B) is different from (C).

It seems economic models, which presume rationality of actors, have indeed a bad assumption, so it must not be used to predict human behavior.

I would appreciate if you clarify difference between (B) and (C) and explain me why (C) is better than (B).

Thanks!

Thanks for you input!

Should I BR until I get 180 on each PT I took?

I am currently in the middle of my applications and I have ran across a bit of trouble in the Character and Fitness portion of the exam. If anyone could please PM me so that I may ask a few questions and get some advice I would greatly appreciate it!

Hey 7Sagers! I know some people were having issues with posting links, so we (and by we I mean @"Alan Cheuk") found a great way to make the step easier. Here's how to do it:

First, find an image. For this, I just searched "laugh gif":

http://content.screencast.com/users/spaceursa/folders/Snagit/media/4f3ada01-d1a9-4056-b354-e93ebdc48c5b/09.16.2016-20.17.png

Right-click the image and select "copy image address":

http://content.screencast.com/users/spaceursa/folders/Snagit/media/a8587364-7e4e-4fe8-8f4f-9769521feb70/09.16.2016-20.16.png

Then, right-click and paste the url onto the 7Sage post you'd like to reply to. It will show up as a link in chat, like this:

But when you hit "post" or "reply", it will look like this:

Hope that helps! :D

I am filling out applications on lsac that require "traffic violations and parking tickets". Being 37 and have lived in many different places, I have no way of recalling all of these! I have even gotten traffic citations in the mail for up to 5 years prior that I didn't realize I had.

Also, I never paid a parking ticket on a Navy base in San Diego (circa 2010). Nothing happened. Can they tell? I have no idea even who to pay for that..it was issued by some agency that I also do not recall the name of.

I guess I should delete this post.

My card has enough money yet won't let me sign up

Hi, so I have already graduated from a college 5 years ago and now pursuing master degree...I'm thinking to work again for a few years after I finish master degree and then take the exam. In this case, do they see the GPA from my college and master school?

I heard somewhere if the GPA is more than 10 years old, they don't actually see it.

Is this still true today?

Thanks

I have done 20↑ PTs and old ones a long time ago...

I kind of basically did all of PTs, but not enough reviews.

How much can I improve in 2.5 month? I just need to review&re-do questions I missed&improve timing I guess...

I'm not sure how much I can improve, maybe none?

I was wondering to take Sept or Dec.

I'm not in the range that I want to but...if I cannot improve a lot, maybe I should just take Sept one?

The conclusion here is that: Athletes who need to improve muscle strength should not use the engineered food.

Premises: Hormones produce growth in connective tissues rather than in muscle mass, which does not improve muscular strength

So, I was stuck between answer choices "A" and "C"

I tried the negation test and thought without both of them the argument falls apart.

I chose "A" because "C" was too strong and thought it was an sufficient assumption.

I'm having a hard time eliminating "A" because, I'm assuming if muscle mass does not increase strength, the premises of the argument falls apart and thus breaks the conclusion.

I finish all of the sections in time and feel like i have a pretty good understanding of how to approach the different question types. RC is my strongest, the LG, then LR. any advice?
