Hi, My name is Jo and I'm from Southern California. Lots of people had questions about a Sunday Skype session so I hope this post will clarify things.

I would like to go over PT #32 with an emphasis on the LR sections of the test. #32 has a good mix of LR questions. If everyone picks 2 or 3 questions that they had a hard time on, (assuming overlap) there should be around 10-15 questions to discuss.

There is room left for 3, maybe 4 more people and I would like to keep the score range in the 155-160+ range.

If you are interested, you can either email me: jwongemologist@gmail.com or you can message me on forum. Please include Score Range, where you are from, any prep test material you've done, and when you expect to take the LSAT.

Thanks for reading; if you have any additional questions, feel free to either post here or message me.

Okay. So, this may sound stupid, but I THOUGHT that I was only able to take the September LSAT, so I've been studying since June & have stressed about it constantly. I must have misheard or misunderstood something, but it turns out that I can take the DECEMBER LSAT and still am able to apply for Law School that following September. Which is great - it gives me an extra 3.5 months to study.

I'm considering taking the beginner package on this website. Right now I score between 152-155 on the practice tests I've taken, and I am registered for a 30 hour LSAT course in late September, but I want to do something more. I'm thinking that studying on my own can only get me so far.

So I'm wondering - do you guys recommend taking the prep through 7Sage? From everything I've seen, I would say it would be worth it, but I'm having qualms about it. Specifically, I think I study best with paper, pencil, and a book, but I've already been through two prep books, and my mark isn't budging much. Do you guys find using the website to be effective? Has it improved your mark?

Thanks a lot!

Hey everyone,

I am scheduled to write the LSAT on September 27th. So far I have saved PT's 62-72 till the testing date drew closer. However, my question is at what point should we dig into these tests? Right now I have to use the test during the 2nd/3rd week of September. Leaving the week of the actual LSAT to a few older (maybe previously taken or partially used) PT's. This way I can get a good understanding from the newer ones. Is this the right way of going about it? I did not want to use some of the newer ones during the actual week of the real LSAT, as my thoughts are I won't be able to gain as much from them since they are so close to the actual date?

I am curious to know what others are doing/what they intend to do with the most recent PT's.

In recent practice tests I have experienced some difficulty with consistency in Reading Comprehension. In some respects this section is a "wild card" of sorts for me in the sense that I had scored as well as only -3 in the section but will sometimes get as many as 8 questions incorrect. However, most times the majority of my incorrect answers come from the last passage that I do not get to fully engage. Has anyone had a similiar experience, and or have any suggestions for solving this issue?

What does everyone think is the best method to study for the LSAT? Specifically, I am wondering if I should approach it by studying one area at a time or all areas together. What I mean by this is whether to study only logic games for a few weeks until I feel comfortable with them, then moving on to the other areas of the exam one by one. Or, would it be better to just study a little bit of every area at the same time? I hope my question makes sense.

I've been following the chronological order of PTs set out in the 7Sage syllabus in preparation for the September exam. So far, I've written PTs 36-46 with an average score of 174. However, I've seen a number of comments on the forum suggesting that the newer PTs (60+) are significantly harder than the older ones, particularly when it comes to LR. With this in mind, I'm considering alternating between newer and older PTs to ensure that my scores aren't being distorted by easier tests.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Will using up newer PTs now hurt me as test day approaches?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all!

Forgive me if this has been mentioned in the past but does anyone know of a one place you can visit to see info about deadlines and class profiles for US and Canadian schools? I'm about to go make giant excel document but figured I'd ask if anyone knows if this information has already been collected somewhere out there on the good old web!

Thanks! Happy studying!

Once I saw JY says if you are preparing LSAT, then you are single, or you will be soon.

And I just laughed at the joke..and it did happen..

I am OK for most time of the day but would be really upset for like 1-2 hours per day...

Just wondering how many of you have a similar experience? How do you guys pull through that?

Any comment will be helpful. Thanks!

When I first started studying, I used to get through the LR sections with 3-5 minutes extra at the end to go over my mistakes. I'm not sure why, but for the last month I've been reading much more slowly and have barely been able to finish a section. Usually, I don't have time to read all the answers for the last one or two questions before running out of time. Does anyone have advice to increase speed without giving up accuracy?

Hi admin, et al...

I have noticed a 5 point difference between my scores from older test vs. more recent (30s vs 60s), with the lower scores being the most recent. Are the newer tests simply more challenging than those from ten years ago? Should I really only be basing my potential score estimates on newer tests? Should I save those recent tests for last? Anyone else notice this same effect?

I just want to make sure that my increase in score is not an artifact of the test difficulty itself.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

Just wanted to see if anybody else had problems with PT 60? I scored a few points lower than usual with this one compared to other PTs...had extra trouble with LR for some reason. Is this a trend I'll see for the rest of the 60's tests? Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks

Hi all. I took three practices tests in an LSAT prep book but the tests were not identified. I tried reaching out to the publisher but I haven't heard back. Any thoughts on how I can identify these exams? I want to enter the scores into the analyzer.

I got 12 wrong in lr section today!! 12!!! And I usually score over 175!! I just started feeling really insecure and anxious while doing it. I couldn't concentrate at all. Now i am afraid to take the other lr section. It's like all my self confidence is gone. What am I going to do??

Ran across a sentence that went something like this the other day....

"If the DDA thinks it is, then jail time is sufficient."

My LSAT logic board almost had a meltdown.

I took the June LSAT, and got a 163. I'm wanting to get into a tier 1 school, so I'm retaking it in Sept. I feel like I am banging my head against a wall with some of the lower down lessons. Is it a bad idea to just skip around?

Clarification: I am usually -1 to -4 in LR, so I think that is fine. I just really need to master LG and RC I think.
