I go to a Canadian University that has grades in percentages. How do these percentages get converted to a US GPA?

Hi 7Sagers. Wanted to post my improvement stats and also see how others faired on their first LSAT after completing the course. For reference, I purchased the LSAT Ultimate package. Anyways my results:

June 2007

LR -7 LR -9 LG -9 RC -12

Raw Score: 63/100

Actual Score: 152

PT:36

LR -10 LR -3 LG -3 RC -7

Raw Score: 78/100

Actual Score: 162

Raw Improvement: +15

Actual Improvement: +10

Over all I'm pleased with this progress. In my first LR section I got destroyed but that was more due to being nervous and not being strategic enough with the harder questions. Once I settled in things went much smoother. Anyways, feel free to post your improvement if you'd like.

So am I understanding right, it's beneficial to practice the same questions? Or do them once & then never again. Or even if get right keep doing again & again or better to move on? My first & main focus is the getting great at the LG as I did well on other sections. Well enough anyway. I'm just trying to raise 10 points & my weakness is LG. I plan on spending then next several doing nothing but games. Along with working full time & raising 3 kids.. Ha

"Reasonable people.."

I got this wrong and then tried redoing it in blind review (I drilled this question type in a set of 40 questions). In BR I chose C. My approach to the problem the second time around was to diagram this:

RP --> ASW (first sentence)

RP --> AWS (second sentence)

---------------------------------------------------------

P --> RP (conclusion)

So I went into this thinking I needed to link progress and unreasonable people.

What confused me was the last sentence, which I assumed was the conclusion. I was not sure if progress or unreasonable people was the necessary condition. Then I thought if I substituted "depends on" with "requires" it would make unreasonable people the necessary condition, still I was not confidant my approach was correct.

I think A is irrelevant and D is wrong because we are not concerned with the subset that are unable to bring progress. Can someone help me understand why the others are wrong and why B is correct? Is my reasoning/approach to this question wrong?

Please help!!!

Thank you in advance.

Anyone in the OC or IE in Southern California want to meet up and BR together or just study in general together? It would be helpful to have a partner or a study group to explain lsat questions.

I read this article about the best ways to stay hydrated and I definitely see some instruction worth trying for LSAT practice. If it seems to work, I'll try it during the actual exam. Thought others would be interested in this new study as well.

Anyone want to blind review or want to study together that is from Westchester or NYC?

Hi All.

Thanks to all who have taken the time to answer all my questions. It's time for me to give back. I'm sure there are various ways people are making their 10-20 fresh copies of the games. But this is how I do it and it literally cannot get any easier. Takes me less than 15 seconds per game to print. The big assumption here of course is that you gotta a physical copy of the test. So... here are the steps.

1. Get the TurboScan App. (Not free but costs you less than 1/2 of a cup of starbucks) 1 min.

2. Take a pic of the test page (fit it just right in your frame). 0.1 second.

3. From the Turboscan app, find that picture and choose the b/w option at the bottom right corner (It gives you photo, b/w color options if you tap through the same area). 2 seconds.

4. The App will automatically frame it for you so it's a perfectly straight copy even if your picture was crooked. And you can adjust the corners to make it perfectly straight for all my OCD peeps out there. This step is automatic but I just wanted to elaborate.

5. Print! If you have an airPrint print the you can do it directly from your phone and you can choose the # of copies you want. If you need more. Repeat steps 3 since you already have the picture. Just choose the game you want and print. If you don't have AirPrint, you can just email it to yourself and print from there.

I hope this helps those who are having problems making fresh copies the games !

#let's do this!!!

Has anyone taken the LSAT without finishing the course? How did that go? I don't think I'm going to have time to finish, but I would like to.

Hey guys,

Just a little update, most of you who know me understand why a local school was not only my target school but my first choice. I'm thankful today to be able to report that I am officially off the waitlist and will be attending UNC Law School in August. I am so excited that we do not have to move. I don't know how I could have functioned in law school not being in the same city as my college age son, let alone not in the same state.

Thank you 7Sage JY, Nicole, Allison, Cory, David Busis and everyone else. This really is a wonderfully supportive community & I'm so glad I have been part of it this past year.

Now I can keep an eye out for my June LSAT with a little less angst. :)

Should I write an addendum asking admissions to see my undergraduate transcript for a better reflection of my GPA than the LSAC academic summarization? I had two one credit classes that I was given a "No Credit" for, but these classes were pass/fail and did not count towards my GPA. My GPA is .06 difference between the two reports. Not only this, but I had no idea I was ever enrolled in the classes. While I know I can call my undergrad institution to get them removed, I'm worried I won't have time for this with final deadlines approaching for fall admissions. Does admissions even look at my undergrad transcript or do they only look at the LSAC summarization? Need some advice!

Hi,

Can schools see your LSAT score on your LSAC profile?

Hi everyone. I took the June LSAT, and got a lower score than on any of my practice tests. I was sick leading up to the test, and probably should have canceled, but I was still stunned on getting a lower score than even on my first practice test ever. I was getting just under my target score up to the test date.

My worst section by far was LG, but even where I normally do very well, I was getting only 65% of the questions right.

I want to know if I should re-do sections of the course, or if I should just focus on taking prep tests....

Thanks!

I read here and there that the newest tests are harder and I should do my tests backwards in case you run of of time on my prep. Has anyone done this?

Hey guys, so I completed the curriculum last week which took around three months. I am aiming to write the test in September 2016. I only wrote one practice test after finishing the curriculum and realized that my LR and RC need more improvement. Timing was also an issue since I could not get to all the LR questions and the last RC passage. Should I be doing PTs right away or go back to the curriculum and drill LR/RC? Also, I know that the schedule recommends doing PT36 to the most recent, but should I skip a few of the older ones so I will be able to complete the recent ones in time for September? Any feedback is appreciated! I just want to know what other 7sagers did after finishing the curriculum but weren't reaching the level of accuracy they wanted. Thank you!

Hey, guys! So, I'm working through finishing the 7sage course to prepare for the September LSAT. One thing I've found myself wondering in preparing to anticipate answers for LR questions and to properly pace myself through the LR portions of the test is, "what makes a LR question hard or easy?" Is it the language and wording used in the question stem? Perhaps, the types of tricks employed in the answer choices? A combination of both of these and more?

Additionally, for me, some of the questions designated as more difficult, although, I don't have the Ultimate package so perhaps I'm not the best judge of this, are easier for me and some questions labeled as harder are easier. Is this a commonality among others or am I an anomaly? Your thoughts and insight would be greatly appreciated! :)

Occasionally an admin will send a message through a chat screen - informing me of a webinar/presentation etc. Once I close the screen I can't find how to re-access it. Is there a button somewhere that I am missing?

I just received my 159 on the June LSAT and my goal was a 164. My huge weakness is RC, and nothing I do seems to lead to consistent improvement. I also need specific strategies for LR questions. Is the 7sage starter pack enough to help me boost my score 5+ points?

Hey 7Sagers, thanks for taking the time to read this and answer my conundrum. My issue is LGs; specifically - which boards to use and what the setup should look like. Unsurprisingly, if I can set the game up correctly I can answer any question choice. Even more so, if I know what type of logic game it is (during the 7sage course curriculum) I can usually get -2 questions per section. I tried JY's suggestion of repeating logic games with clean copies but when I repeat the game I remember the logic game and the board setup without fail - even after several days. This method has not helped me in improving PT logic games where I'ver never seen those games before; it's like my brain is learning by assigning a setup to specific variables and not the broader context of the game. What are some things that you guys can recommend to help sharpen my ability to decipher the games and to determine which boards should be used on games I've never seen before? My LG is my weakest area by far and it will be the key to increasing from my current 161 average to the upper 160s/low 170s that I'm aiming for. I'm very grateful for your suggestions.

Yours,

After BR, should I watch still watch the explanation videos of the 1. non-circled questions I got correct with 100% confidence and the ones I circled and got right with no answer change? Thank you!

Because some of us are trying to study for the LSAT . . .
