Does anybody know when LSAC says they release your file to all attending law schools if that means all your demographic info like SSN's, birthdates, and contact info? What with identity fraud run rampant, I am concerned that my signing up to attend would allow dozens of schools to which I will not be applying to have my info in their computers, available to unknown numbers of staff, etc. Is it possible to attend by just showing up that morning without releasing your info? I've already been an ID victim twice and not interested in having it happen again.

Where do you guys obtain your PTs (in hard copy)?

I was watching the PSA webinar and I had a question about answer choice C. I initially eliminated C because of "every". I was looking for something closer to what was mentioned in the stimulus. I was thinking "the opponent's argument" instead of "every". I eliminated because it seemed too general or broad. I didn't see how "every" was specifically referring to the opponent's argument but then I thought about "soft" sufficient assumptions that Jimmy mentions in the webinar. Does "every" make this a PSA, thus the right answer? Whereas "the opponent's argument" would've been more of a SA? Am I thinking this out correctly?

Hi 7sagers! I just came across this podcast - so far I think it's pretty interesting and wanted to share it with the community since it seems like something that a 7sage student might enjoy... It is by "lawyers who hate being lawyers" but I think they love the law, so much so that they want to talk about it and analyze it for our entertainment. Sounds pretty great, right? ;) so, for your LSAT study breaks, you have another way to nerd out:

I always warm up before taking a PT and I know that it def helps, but I was wondering if any 7sagers advocate specific warm ups over other (e.g. doing a full game instead of a few LR questions). Also, do you guys generally check the answers to your warm up questions? I know that the answers to these questions are subjective to an extent, but I am just curious. I usually either do an RC passage (it's my weakest area) or 3/4 LR questions and then check the answers right after. Thanks in advance!

Can anyone please tell me if there are key words that indicate the rule is a biconditional rule? for some reason I thought it was only "if and only if"

Thanks in advance

Here's my anecdotal evidence that the 70s PTs are harder (or at least different) from earlier modern PTs.

PTs 54-59, 61, 62, 65, 66 (Not cherry picking, these are just the tests I've done from these series):

Avg. score: 174.5 (high 177 [thrice], low 170 [once])

Avg. RC: -2.3

Avg. LR: -2.4

Avg. LG: -2.6

PTs 70-77 (excluding PT 76):

Avg. score: 171.1 (high 174 [once], low 169 [twice])

Avg. RC: -2.7

Avg. LR: -4.8

Avg. LG: -2.9

For me at least, this is clear evidence that the LSAT has evolved. That evolution has made the test noticeably harder.

A couple interesting data points:

* I once got three consecutive -0 RCs in the 50s. Haven't gotten a single one since.

* I'm now getting twice as many questions wrong on LR. I think it's because they're using less formal logic and more complex grammar forms and/or extremely subtly wrong trap answer choices.

Anyone else seen a similar trend? I found this exercise simultaneously interesting and depressing.

Hi guys,

Have you guys tried printing out the admission ticket to see how your LSAT photo looked? The photo I uploaded on the site met the requirements, but when I printed it out with my black and white printer,the photo quality came out somewhat grainy. It's still clear enough to discern my identity but not as sharp as I would like. Is this an issue that you guys came across with? Should I just try using a better printer to be safe? LSAC said as long as the picture clearly indicates my identity I would be fine.

After looking at the previous threads and realizing they were outdated, I want to know if this upcoming LSAT will resemble the single-serve PTs in the 70s, except with 5 sections instead of 4?

So, staples along the left, probably lacking the explanations of the LSAT in the front, 5 sections, writing sample, no answer sheet at the back, duh.

Yes—it's happening AGAIN!

Our very own @"J.Y. Ping" will be hosting BR Group for PT62 on Sunday. This should be fun.

You obviously don't want to miss this.

Note:

I've reached the point where I consistently score -0/-1 (-1 is usually due to carelessness, if anything) on LG. How do people suggest I shift my attention more to LR and RC without faltering on LG? (FYI, I have been mainly doing older LGs, like in the 30s-40s. When do they get more 'mainstream', i.e. less experimental?)

Do I PT and add LR/RC as my fifth and/or sixth sections? Should I drill? Is it advisable for me to do 4 or 5 of the same sections in one go (with a break in between)? Should I be focusing on LG in addition to the sections I do during PTs? Any other ideas?

I'm studying for the September LSATs with a full-time job. Any thoughts on cutting out alcohol entirely. Do people think casually drinking negatively impacts our ability to retain information? I'm talking about drinking on the weekends (getting drunk max once) and maybe a beer or a glass or two of wine on a weekday.

I'm thinking about cutting it out entirely but it helps a lot to relax and lower anxiety. Any one else contemplating this?

This will be our second-to-last PT meeting before the Pep Rally (6/3)!

Get excited.

Does anyone know what the equivalent of number 2 pencils are in the UK? I've been googling, and some websites say HB while others say 2B!

To my surprise, I see many people here have actually taken the LSAT thrice. This will be my case but it sort of made me nervous because I was told after the 2nd LSAT, schools begin to look disfavorably towards your application(?) thoughts?

I'm going to be traveling a lot this coming week, and I'd love to be able to study while on the plane. Is there any way to access course materials offline? I realize I could pay for WiFi access on the plane, but I'd rather save my money... I'm pretty broke at the moment. I know in previous years the answer has been no, but I was hoping some portion of the lessons might be available.

from he lecture i understand that to find out the right answer choice for weaken question, i need to keep two thing in my mind

1. the ans choice is that , which is an assumption and not seen in the premise which is missing from the premise,

2. the ans choice is that which if we add in premise the conclusion will fail.

if I am right, then may be I understand this part otherwise i might need help

Greetings everyone I'm Monty. I attend Bethune Cookman University as Criminal Justice Major. Next semester will be my last semester as a junior I'm now trying to figure out how to overcome passing the LSAT with a good score .I recently start studying for the LSAT an have a few questions. How did most of you manage to study with distractions around you? Moreover, how long did you study or have you studied where you were confident to take the test ? I'm looking forward to hearing great responses.

Hi Guys,

I am currently concentrating on my LSAT studying shooting for higher than 170+ in Sept.

I have got a LL.M degree in law school in DC, majored in international business law. But I am a group study girl, I am good at organizing study groups, and I feel I concentrate more with friends encourage each other.

I am currently studying at the main NYLP, sometimes go to cafe to study. If you are studying lsat too, please feel free to contact me, we can review exam together, share LSAT knowledge and encourage each other together to boost our score.

Please send me PM, thanks.

Regards,

Joy

I thought it might be helpful for some to hear what types of breakfast foods & drinks people have found to be great choices for test day & maybe what types of snacks they brought for the break during the exam.

I think I had scrambled eggs, avocado toast & coffee when I took the exam before & half of a chicken sandwich, Apple, blueberries & vitamin water for the break. Not sure what I will do this time but probably something similar.

Hey guys I am almost done with bundle but I notice for CBT questions when the correct answer is A I cannot choose it and move on I have to check at least B and sometimes C and only then I move on, wasting a lot of time. Anyone else had the same problem? How should I tackle it? Do you think redoing the bundle in sections with reduced time (30 min/section) could help?

Hey Sages,

I finished the 7 sage curriculum and I'm in the PT/review portion of my LSAT. I've been reviewing each question and returning to the curriculum after each test to review the lessons on Flaw, Parallel Flaw, SA, NA but my scores are kind of all over the place:

PT 36: 163/ BR: 167

PT 37: 158: BR: 170

PT 38: 167/ BR: 174

PT 39: 161/ BR: 170

Any ideas as to what this is or what steps I can take to improve?

This will be my 3rd time taking the LSAT in the same testing center. The past two times the desks were extremely small. I am 5'7" mainly legs which do not fit comfortably under the desk. I have to extend them all the way or sit side ways to cross my legs. There isn't any room for my eraser and pencils, those have to be placed on my lap and I have to fold my test booklet vertically in half as it does not fit fully open. Not to mention all the times I my test booklet or desk hits the seat in front of me from moving it or adjusting myself. What can I do about this? Is there any way to request a bigger desk?! The LSAT is stressful enough. I hate to have the desk be an added factor.

It says on the admission ticket that I'm not allowed to contact LSAC test center supervisors for any reason. I've heard different things about my test center having those small, pull-out desks and I wanted to ask someone at the college if that'll be the case. Is this in violation of LSAC rules? From the wording on the ticket it seems so, but I've never heard of this before.
