I am working on my personal statement and I need someone to read it and tell me if I need to take somethings out or add additional info to it. Overall give me feedback. I would really appreciate it if any one would be kind enough to do so. I can email it to you if you are willing. Please let me know. Thank you!

Greetings Fellow 7-Sagers...

I know there's recently been a few "should I / shouldn't I" discussion threads on whether or not to cancel a score. Having just taken the LSAT yesterday (in Korea), I now face the same dilemma.

Complicating my choice... today I was just informed by a colleague at work that even though you cancel your score, LSAC still scores your exam and... AND law schools can still see your "cancelled" score.

Is this true ??? WTF ?! Do law schools have access to your cancelled score ? Then what's the point of cancelling ?

Additionally, she tells me that some law schools will ask for a written reason why you cancelled.

Can anyone confirm this ?

Help me Obi-JY, you're our only hope.

This may sound bizarre, but I have such a hard time choosing the answer choice A. It doesn't matter what section I'm working on--I find myself being much more discriminating against A over the other answer choices. Does anyone else have this issue? Or am I slowly going insane?

I notice that 7sage goes from PT 36 to the 70s.

I've been told that PTs are valuable and you shouldn't spoil them.

Should I go out and purchase 1-35 and go through those b4 I get to pt36?

I know the scores won't be released until the 22nd, but I still check the site daily. The other night I dreamed that I got a 170. Then I woke up, drank a glass of water, and dreamed I got a 155. This whole waiting 3 weeks thing is just way too much for a person to handle...

Looking to form a group of serious LSATers in NYC. Please post your email info if you're interested in group PTs on weekends in preparation for the December (or Feb) LSAT. Also please feel free to suggest locations. In a previous post we were discussing room reservations at NYPL; there are also open public spaces in midtown. Looking forward to destroying the LSAT together!

EDIT: Email not needed. Just realized that we can have group conversations on this site. So just post that you're interested and I will add you to the conversation.

Hello,

I dont know if any of you have any advice on this but I would be very helpful for some imput. I signed up for this course a few months back and I love how JY explains everything in depth and detail. It really makes me feel more confident in performing better on the LSAT. Anyway, my boss found out I was taking an online course and offered to pay for me to take an in-person class (Testmasters) since she thought it would better prepare me for the exam. I didn't want to seem ungrateful so I let her pay and enrolled in the Testmasters course for the December LSAT.

I just went to the course yesterday but everything seemed too fastpaced but there were a couple good tips too. I dont think I will feel ready for the December LSAT since JY explained that it usually takes a year to really understand the principles for the LSAT but I don't know if doing both courses would be detrimental to my learning. For example, they introduced a logic game yesterday and since I havent got to that part of the course on 7sage I was completely lost-so I went back today and started the logic games section in 7sage.

I don't want to just stop going to the Testmasters course because I think that it could still help me in some ways but I like 7sage better. Should I stick to both and get more in depth with 7sage after the Testmasters course ends or should I just stick to one?

Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hey guys,

Just in case anyone else is as ignorant as me about the clocks changing...for anyone taking the LSAT in Australia tomorrow morning, note that Daylight Savings time begins early Sunday morning (at 2am, the clocks will go forward one hour to 3am). So make sure your alarm is set properly, and maybe that you go to bed a bit earlier :)

Good luck!

It's quite sad but I never have enough time to finish the last remaining passage. So if there are only 3-5 minutes left, and you have a whole new passage remaining, what would be the ideal approach?

Hi-

Wondering whether the following is worth contacting LSAC about - even if it's just for due diligence.

There was a Rap music performance in the parking lot of my test center. The college usually hosts a relatively quiet trade fair. But that day it was a different event that had live rap performances. The supervisors apologized and said they didn't know this fair would have live music.

I could hear the music even after they shut the windows.

Does this warrant contacting LSAT - even if it's just to make them aware?

What do they do when they get complaints?

I found this logic game to help alleviate the anxiety of waiting for the results! Honestly the LSAT material actually does make you smarter. Everyone have a go at this, it was fun.

I took the LSAT on September 27th. I do not feel like I did well. My guess score would be somewhere between 140-145. I plan on studying and practicing more PT's, spending more time with blind reviews and taking the test again on December.Is it better for me to keep the score (even though I know i did not do well) or cancel the test score and just focus on doing better in December. I have been told before that Law schools usually look at the higher score when making decision on an application. Is that true?

With only one day left to decide if I want to keep my score, I feel torn inside!

Any advice and comments will be much appreciated!

Thank you

Okay.

I have finished 100% of the material (yay).

I was wondering what other people have done at this point? I've decided to wait until Monday morning to write my first practice LSAT test, and take tonight, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to review all of the Practice Tests in all of the sections, and work through some of the harder Logic Games that I didn't completely understand.

Did anyone do anything similar? I want a refresher before I dive right into the practice. :)

I'm just going through the lesson on Valid Argument Forms now and I was wondering for which questions are the existential quantifiers relevant? I guess I'm just having a hard time visualizing how learning the different valid forms will help to different between Logical Reasoning questions types.

When notating rules in a game, is it advisable to NOT write down the contrapositive, but simply understand how it would work for a particular rule? Or is it best to write down the contrapositive under each given rule?

I noticed that writing down contrapositives for each rule becomes time consuming... and also I noticed JY writes down the contrapositives for some rules and not for others...

Any clarification is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Oh how I wonder if there is a "fitness" criteria prior to first day of classes...it's not even thanksgiving and I can't stop eat...hey now neither is it winter... What a drag this is right now ughhhhhhh

On what kinds of questions are those invalid existential conclusions relevant?

Like, A-->B some C

And we can't conclude A some C.

Are these in must be false questions? Has anyone come across a question that deals with this kind of bad conclusion?

I have a question. I am new to 7Sage. I am used to books. I am used to crossing off wrong answers. I am used to taking notes as I read. There are no traditional books for 7Sage. Does anyone on here find it easier or harder or anything? I am thinking of just printing off as much of the material as possible. Any feedback on the lack of books would be appreciated. Thank you.

done the 7sage prep course, and read the powerscore bible for LR, and I drill like it's nobody's business; would like for someone to recommend a book that will help me out with understanding it a little bit better. being that we have 2 LR sections (possibly 3 depending on exp section) I want/need to improve. Flaw seems to be my biggest issue. any recommendations?

Anyone have tips for writing personal statements ??

Okay so i was watching the video where JY tells us how to distinguish between Valid and Invalid argument forms and at the end he gave us a little trick to remember how to distinguish between the two and that was that:

In the valid forms, the existential statements appear first and then the universal statements.

So an example is

A some-> B-> C

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

A some ->C

And in the invalid forms the universal statements appear first and then the existential statements.

So an example of this would be:

A --> B some-> C

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

A some->C

BUT, the problem is that this doesnt hold true for VALID forms 6-8 as they start with universal statements rather than existential statements. So can someone tell me a trick to remember those three.

Thanks!

So I took the September LSAT at Pace University in NYC last weekend. During the test, there was incredibly loud pipe construction above us banging throughout the test, along with an occasional loud hissing sound that lasted for around 10 seconds coming from a mysterious part of the room. It got so loud that during the middle of the test right after we had finished one of our sections, the proctor told us that the LSAC was aware of these issues, and that we could cancel if we wanted to. None of us did.

Although I actually feel pretty good about this test (I was strangely able to concentrate pretty well for some reason), would there be any benefit to me to report the construction issues to LSAC given that I definitely don't want to cancel? Thanks!

Can someone explain "blocking" the alternative hypothesis? I am doing the strengthen causation questions, I got them right and went back to make sure I understood why, even though I got them right, I wasnt 100% sure why. I am also not totally understanding what you mean by "blocking. " Please elaborate, clarify so I can understand. Thank you

I took the Feb 2014 exam. I am studying again for the LSAT. I am wondering if you have a teaching of a logic game that was similar to the one that threw us for a loop on the Feb 2014 exam....I know you dont have access to that, but it was something about a round table, maybe how people were positioned.....I definitely do not remember the details, I just recall it was something like that. Hoping there is now a lesson for questions that like.
