As you can see from the title, I'm having a dilemma and I'd really appreciate any thoughts/advice you might have. I'm retaking the LSAT after having a disappointing score in December. I've decided that after nearly a year of studying for the LSAT, I don't want to get a score less than 168. I feel like I'm capable of it and I've seen a slow but steady improvement since I started studying again in February.

However, because test day scores are +/-3 points, I want to be averaging a 170+ before taking the real thing. Right now, I'm still averaging in the upper 160s and haven't been able to consistently score above a 170. It's mid April and I thought I should see how I do on the next two PTs. If I'm scoring 170+ I thought I should go ahead and register for June; otherwise, continue studying until September.

Are my two most recent PTs sufficient for me to base my decision on and/or should I simply wait until September? What do you guys think?

Does anyone know if the change regarding PDF LSAT exams and content will affect the pricing of the courses? I wanted to purchase my class before the 21st but now I will not able to so I will have the extra expense of buying lsat test books in addition to the price of the course. =(

Dealing with another "LSAT Headache"

Any tips to reduce/lessen/avoid them?

FYI - I space out PTs so they are at least 2 days apart.

Any tips on how to reduce eye fatigue. I regularly use eye drops, but as I move through my PTs my eyes become really strained.

I know this is par for the course, but any ideas on reducing I fatigue.

I think you all should take a break from your aggravating LSAT studies and focus on this aggravating photo. :) Is the kitty kat going up or down the stairs?! (I personally think its going down the stairs).

Using a kaplan book in conjunction with these videos and can use some help! Can anyone explain Kaplan's answer for the part B? I could have sworn it was an error.

If Megan buys a juicer, then she buys kale or mangos.

A. What do we know if megan buys a juicer?

My answer: she bought mangos, kale, or both.

B. What do we know if megan buys neither mangos nor kale?

My answer: nothing. I thought that no logical deductions could be made from this statement because this is the necessary condition not the sufficient condition.

Kaplans answer: then she can't have bought a juicer

Hi,

Just a general post requesting info from those who like RC /score consistently/ or have improved significantly. I have heard of two types of RC folks - who started out from their diagnostic in RC doing REALLY well and have since fallen from grace. Or those who started out doing not so well and are still doing not so well.

I feel like there is a giant, extremely invisible elephant in the room regarding RC that we are all missing. I would just like to hear some success stories or unusual tips. I know there is a ton of advice regarding different guides and such and I have gone through it with little success. But what has worked in real time? It would be comforting to know that there is at least one 7Sager who loves RC and is scoring -0 to -2 consistently. Where are you?

I appreciate it! I just want to solve the RC mystery to eat up some time in between drilling RC for the rest of my days...

Just curious to know if anyone has ever been selected to participate in PBAP for the law school of their choice? Since their LSAT score was lower than the median score?

Hi all,

I am struggling with RC. Recently, I bought LSAT Trainer. It is really helping me. I am wondering if I should buy Manhattan RC book as well. I heard both books were written by the same writer. Are these two books pretty much similar? Should I buy Manhattan RC? I really appreciate your time and cooperation.

I often have a difficult time determining when I should split gameboards. Are there any indicators you guys rely on? Sometimes JY does it and other times he doesn't, but I can't figure out when it should be done.

In between the sections, i.e. section 1 and 2, is there a longer break than the 7Sage proctor on the app gives? On the app it seems like its about 20 seconds, but I've read on online forums you have time to take a sip of water and reset watches etc. Any insight?

If anyone is interested please PM me. I already took the exam and scored a 145. I believe it was because I was nervous because I was scoring in the 150's during my practice test. I am looking to score a 160 +

How do I know if I should solve for all game boards? Is there a way to distinguish the best approach when time is limited?

Hello is anyone looking for a study buddy in the Los Angeles area? To share notes or go over any questions? Let me know. I am free most weekdays in the morning or afternoon since I am taking time off of work to focus on studying.

Let me know! Thanks!

Hey guys, when taking PT's, in order to simulate the conditions on the LSAT, I use the proctor and cut out each section from the 10 official LSAT books. I cut them so they're still attached, as if the real LSAT would be. They're like $20 on Amazon for 10 tests. Not a bad deal.

Hey everyone,

I was just wondering how everyone has been doing on the question sets given after every lesson?

I seem to be hit and miss and sometimes i get 8 out of 10 and sometimes 4 out of 10. My blind review also is not helping that much either as it seems i just seem to go with the same answer as before. what can i do other than re-watch the lesson to bring my marks up to a consistent 8 or 9 out of 10?

Hey 7Sagers,

Saw there was some confusion, so I just wanted to let you know that our videos are NOT leaving. Only licensed PDFs are being removed. More on it here:

I was wondering if anyone has found a way that works best to approach these question types? If so, PLEASE share.

Hi All! I have not applied yet to law school but when I do.. I have a question.

When you submit the school's application. Do you have to send your scores right then and there? For ex. I took the Feb test but will be retaking the test when I am ready to get a better score. Is it possible to send the scores together versus one first and then one when I retake?

Thanks in Advance!

The June LSAT is at 12:30 pm; does anyone have suggestions for how to optimally set your internal clock?

Since January, I have been waking up around 5 am in order to get focused study time in before work. I'm a natural night owl, so these days I am drifting back into a later bedtime. Does anyone have thoughts on how your internal clock affects your alertness/ energy? Should I continue to discipline myself to wake up super early for this final stretch (as opposed to suddenly starting to study at night)?

Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

I have already purchased all Lsat prep tests. But I am looking for a resource that has these games grouped into types. Since I'm still a beginner, I am still trying to master the basic sequencing games. Would anyone know if someone has already compiled all those games into some sort of list or PDF?

Thanks!

It looks like all explanation videos with LSAT questions will be removed, is there any way to download those videos?

I was just wondering, what does it look like to a Law school when you re-take the LSAT, but get a lower score the second time? I know all the law schools i'm going to apply to do NOT average your scores, but instead consider the highest score.

Can y'all please help me explain this? I watched the video a few times, but the numbers method that JY explained..is just not really iron clad proof for me, or at least I'm not really understanding it.

http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-62-section-4-question-16/

I played around with some other numbers, and that didn't really add up to the conclusion.

PT --> E

B some E

B some not E

Conclusion: #E > #not E

JY used 100 for both PT and B. That adds up and makes sense. However, I switched the numbers for PT and B to 50 and 100, respectively. So let's say some B out of 100 is 40, then 50 PT + some B (40) = 90. What's left of B thats not E are 60... 90 > 60 in conclusion, that is correct, but 50 PT and 100 B is not the same.

Thanks!
