So as some of you may know from my previous post, I've started taking full-timed PT's.

Typically, when I drilled sections of the LSAT, I'd use the Blind Review method. I'd do this immediately after I completed the section.

However, upon starting PT's, I'm wondering if any of you have found it useful NOT to BR immediately after taking the test.

Personally, I've been scoring my PT's immediately after taking them, without BR. Then I walk away, come back the next day and retake the entire test.

Upon comparing both tests, I usually find there are certain questions I get wrong both times, and other questions I get wrong simply because of stupid mistakes; either I failed to identify a quantifier in the stimulus or some other random error.

I feel this then allows me to hone in on questions that are difficult for me while at the same time taking note of the types of random errors I am prone to making.

It has also given me a better feel for what ideal timing/pacing SHOULD feel like. Typically, you're a bit faster the second time because you have some familiarity with the logical inferences being made.

Just wondering if there are any thoughts on this method or if there is any other method that is commonly endorsed for reviewing full timed PT's.

All of the statements follow logically EXCEPT:

A. Some influential art involves original ideas

B. Some 20th century art involves original ideas

C. Only art that involves original ideas is influential (CORRECT ANSWER)

D. Only art that is influential and involves original ideas is great art

E. Some 20th century art is influential and involves original ideas

Can someone explain why C is correct?

I went through and did my conditional diagramming:

Some 20h century art>> great art

Great art>>>original ideas ...... contrapositive: not original ideas>>> not great art

not influential>>> not great art ..... contrapositive: great art>> influential

So i can understand how great art is influential and involves original ideas but I am still unsure of why C is right. Is it because involving original ideas does not necessarily mean its influential?

I'm sensing probably not?

Hey guys! This is my first post here and I have a quick question. Anyone from the admin staff from 7sage would be even more helpful. I am about to purchase the ultimate+ program and what I'm primarily going to be focusing on are obviously all of the PT explanations. Now, I will only have access to PTs up to PT 77 but I know explanations for PT 78 will be released shortly. And PT 79, 80 and so on during my 16 months of access. So will these new PTs that were not available at the time of ultimate+ purchase be automatically included to PTs I will have access to as they come along? Or will I have to purchase each newer PT separately? If anyone has the answers to this, please help me out! Thank you guys :)

[Admin note: Ultimate+ includes 12 months now]

While I am now comfortable with this game after reviewing the video explanation and practicing it a few times, the first time I saw it I had no idea how to diagram it. I thought it was a double layered sequencing/linear game that was unbalanced (underfunded). I thought the fall and variable courses were their own separate variable sets and thus tried to split and stack them on my diagram. How do we know not to diagram it as such and to instead rightly diagram at it as a single layer sequencing game?

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 still have like 6 weeks until test day and I have improved a lot over the past two months. Reading comprehension is currently a work in progress but I'm feeling pretty good. What should I be doing from now until test day?

Yo everyone!

I am thinking about getting 7Sage and have a question before I pick which package to buy. I have been watching the free LG explanations on YouTube and keep hearing the instructor keep referencing going through the logic games" bundle" ? Which package includes that? I searched the site and some had said they are no longer available? Is that for all packages?

And if they are no longer available than what should I do instead? It seems like I'm screwed for LG is I don't have access to the bundle. I'm someone who wants to buy the best package and do it just like the instructor said to ensure I can improve on games. They are by far my worst section... Any advice on where to get them? And for those of you that don't have the bundle, what do you use instead?

TYIA

I work full time, and get home pretty tired. So far, I have studied in the evenings. But seems like, I can do better if I try studying in the morning. Any suggestions? What's your ideal time to study?

If there is anyone that would like to study with me, I am located in Paris, France. We can meet up during the week and weekends to this studying down. Please be serious, because I am enroute to law school next year and I need and will make an excellent score. So please again be about the business at hand of being prepared and diligent in your pursuit of achieving this goal!

I am booked for the December test here in Paris.

Okay, I’ve taken my previous LSATs at my alma mater. It was great. Huge desks in a room I’ve had classes in on a campus I know intimately in a city I call home. What more could anyone ask for? Well in their wisdom, they’ve decided not to administer the test in September. I’m pretty sure they’re only doing it to screw with me, but regardless, I’ve got to find a new center.

I’m like, okay, well I’ll just have to do it in Oxford. Whatever, no big deal. Wrong. Big deal. It occurred to me (thank god) to check the football schedule and sure enough, there’s a home game that day- and an SEC conference game at that. There is no way I’m taking the LSAT in that environment.

So I’m just going to leave.

My question is, where should I go? I’ve been thinking of cities like San Francisco, NYC, DC. I can go anywhere. But I think what I’m really wanting is something small and peaceful like a little village on the Pacific coast like with cliffs, a small independent B&B, and probably a dark secret of some kind (those little towns always have something like that going on, right?). Or maybe like somewhere tucked away in the Rockies near a mountain lake. Some kind of serene shit like that, you know?

So, any suggestions?

Hi, I have a question...

I eliminated B because of the word "most." If this says all or significantly large or something like that, it was easier to see it's the correct answer I think.

In the stimulus, it says "Most of our best sales....no experience."

How can we use B to weaken the "Most" in the stimulus?

I chose E, I know the word "some" is kind of weak, but I remember in some PTs I took before the correct answers included "some" (because other answers were not good compared to the ones).

Could anyone explain why B is good enough to weaken the "most" part in the stimulus and if there are other reasons, besides the "some" part in E, why E is wrong?

Thank you in advance,

Does taking the December 4th LSAT lower your chances of getting accepted to a law school? I want to go to HLS and I was told if you don't apply before thanksgiving it is then extremely difficult to get accepted because so many people have already applied.

I am looking to just pull all the parallel reasoning questions, necessary assumption, and flaw in reasoning questions from older LSATs and just drill those in a row to hammer out errors and timing issues. Is there a way I can pull questions by there type in 7sage from older tests so I can just combine them myself?

I am just beginning to study for the December LSAT. I would love to hear some study advice. Thanks!

Note:

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.

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?:(

Hi guys!

Just wondering what books I should pick to go along with the 7sage course and how do you guys arrange time around that? (I have the bibles) Or is everyone just focusing on the course only?

Thanks!

Good luck studying!

Hi all,

So I want to spiff up my resume a bit and do some community service around my city on the weekends. I've decided on Habitat for Humanity. I basically just signed up and can choose any day im available (mostly Sats because I work full-time). It's surprisingly easy.

How often should I do it?

How long do I have to do it before I can actually put it on my resume?

Should I get proof of volunteering and send it with my apps to law school?

Has this ever happened? Also, how frequent are combination games ?

Hi all, I am currently registered to take the September 2016 LSAT and I have been studying but I just don't know if I will be ready to meet my maximum potential score by this time. I plan to attend law school in the Fall of 2017 and I was wondering if, even after taking the September test, it will be too late for me to apply to schools with my December score?

I don't want to take the exam twice, however, I think this is the best way to maximize my score and allow myself enough time but I also don't want to postpone until December and end up regretting not taking it twice.

Is the December 2016 test too late to use to apply to law schools?

Hi, I am struggling between B and C...

I thought B is wrong because they might be able to get water from other regions if they run out their water...

Why are we not allowed to think in this way in this question? because it's not practical in real world?

Also for C...I thought it's correct because if they do not adopt water conservation methods in the near future, some regions may run out water. (but then it sounds like it suggests the same issue as B...maybe then can get water from other regions)

Is C wrong because in the conclusion it says "unless pop. growth trends change are simply mistaken" so adopting water conservation methods or not does not matter?

Thank you in advance!

Hi. I've been studying independently for a retake in June 2017. I may take it sooner but that's my target date for now. I haven't been able to find a consistent study buddy/group through the 7Sage Study Buddy feature, so I'm posting here to reach more people. I'm from the northwest Chicago suburban area.

I'd prefer to meet in person at a minimum of once every other week with online communication in between, but I'm open to meeting 100% online, particularly if we are otherwise a good fit. My diagnostic was a 157. My actual score was a 162. I'm looking for buddies who are scoring 160+ and are aiming for 170+. Though my actual test says otherwise, throughout my PTs, my weakest section has been LG and my strongest RC. I'd like to study with others who complement my abilities and those who are similar to me. I want to take timed five-section exams with my buddy/group in person or online, BR independently, and then discuss together. It does not matter to me when you'll be taking the exam although if you are planning to take it far earlier or later than I am, we may have pacing issues.

Leave a response if you're interested in being buddies or forming a group. Thanks!

I have a fear that come actual test day I will be nervous and revert to my old habits and everything I have taught myself will disappear, could this be possible?
