I am using the most recent version of Chrome (Version 43.0.2357.124) and about a week ago or so I started having issues with the Recent Discussion links on the dashboard page. I can see everything on the dashboard just fine but I can't access any of the discussion board topics from the dashboard. The little white glove still appears to indicate a hyperlink, but nothing happens when I click the topic titles. However, I can access the discussion forum from the top banner and then everything works for me from the main discussion forum page. Is anyone else having similar issues? It's not a huge deal, just thought I'd bring it up because I usually access the forum through comments on the dashboard and now it's not working. Thanks for any help in this matter.

Quick question. Do you guys watch all video explanations of all the homework and exercises (games, RC, LR) in the core curriculum? It's taking me awfully long to finish it and I want to know if I should change my approach here. Thanks in advance you beautiful people!

I have some study materials I need to rid myself of. I have about 20 preptest (that have been done but can either be erased or used as study materials) and 3 Power Score Bibles (lr, rc, lg) clean, no marks. I am willing to send this stuff to the first person who wants it. Free, just send me a message. My husband will appreciate you, he is sick of finding a prep test in every room of our house.

Alright, the waiting game starts. I don't think I saw another waiters discussion on here. Let me know if there is and I missed it. Would anyone like to take guesses on the release date? Considering there is a holiday weekend, I say July 2, just to get it out of the way.

I took a long-ass break from the LSAT to focus on work. Now, I'm getting back into LSAT mode for this October. For those of you in the same boat as myself---how does everyone feel about their prospects? It's been said (with more or less accuracy) that the October test is the most popular time to take it. Did that factor for or against your reasons to go with this October? All opinions are welcomed! :)

Hello all,

I started PTing recently after finishing the curriculum. My timed PT was 137 while my BR was 166!

Any hope for me? What can I conclude from this? Any suggestion is appreciated

I am struggling with reading comp. It is not the sort of struggle with not understanding the material either, rather I am having to read the passage at such a pace that it makes me miss some important details, and then when I am asked a question about the details, I recall where it is, and some of its purpose, but not enough to get the question right. I guess I am having trouble prioritizing some details, as well as having timing issues. Is this normal when starting to do RC? and for individuals who are good, or improved their RC drastically, what are some tips you can give me. I am literally dedicating every single day to this test, I do nothing but study all day, I cut my job hours, I barley communicate with the outside world at this point lollol. I need a 173+ score, I have to get a 173+ (I have to for me not for anyone, or anything else) So please every single tip even if you think it is insignificant, it isn't. W.E. time I must dedicate to get better I will, I just want/need to get over this frustration already LMAO. I majored in Philosophy, so all I did was read, and write. I didn't even think RC was going to annoy me this much. Also I am taking my LSAT in December.

Could someone tell me what BR stands for?

Does anybody know when the personal statement program will start?

Just saw the discussion thread for that and I wish I had submitted an essay to him while he was offering to revise them for free :(. But it still sounds like something I want to be a part of! Maybe I missed another discussion about when this program will be ready to start? Does anybody know? Thanks in advance!! :)

I really need some advice. My fiancee is in medical school, and will begin his residency when I begin law school. The way that residency works is that medical students pick where they apply, then are matched based on a ranking system. This means that he won't know where he will be for residency until the match day on March 18th.

Our original plan was for him to apply to residency programs only in cities where I have a few good law school options. Then after he was matched, I would choose a law school in that city. I studied really hard for the lsat to be sure that I would have options in multiple large cities. I have a good gpa. This seemed like it could work.

I was looking at admission timelines, and it appears that some great schools require you to give them an answer by the end of February. I won't know where my fiancee is matched for residency until March 18th. What should I do? Do you think law admissions offices will be flexible with those deadlines? We will be married at that point, and really don't want to live long distance at the beginning of our marriage.

Does anyone think it hurts your chances of scholarship if you only apply to one school? my question is basically: Does having multiple applications and offers out there foster an environment of competition for qualified candidates, Basically rewarding u for attending their schools, OR do u get rewarded the same way if you have good qualifications and only apply to one school?!

The only two schools I have my sights set on (both top 30 schools) are waiting for this score to possibly admit me for the next academic year. Although I knew going into the LSAT (this first time 'round) I wasn't going to blow things out the water, I was determined to keep my rhythm and morale up never the less. After starting out slow I made some traction and felt things might go my way -that is until the Games section knocked the wind out of me! For the life of me I don't know what happened? Although I had done games daily and even enjoyed myself most the time, I felt as if this were the very first time I had ever come across any game. Long story short... I'd be surprised if I even got 5 right within that section. My gut tells me (that at best) my results will be in the lower 150's; therefore, I am debating canceling my score. Even though I'd love to start school next year, I just can't see how that's likely with a B average GPA and a 150'ish score -especially so late in the year.

The question I'm putting forward (to you guys n' gals) is do law schools take your most recent attempt or do they average it out? I really would like to have your wealth of knowledge on this as I have to make a decision within the 6 day time frame to nullify the score -BTW, is that 6 business days or just days of the week?

Personally, I believe a non-scored test still looks a whole lot better than a low score, but I really am open and looking forward to your opinions on this. Thanks for hearing me out and taking your precious time to respond.

Hopefully someone who is far more organized than I am right now can answer this.

Call me short-sighted but I have studying like a mental patient for the LSAT since last December and have researched prospective law schools. I have a very general idea of when I would like to submit applications but that's about it.

Question- What the heck do I do know? I felt pretty good about the test (hopefully I didn't just jinx it, lol) but am open to retaking in October if I fall short of my PT average or if I just feel like it.

What's the first thing you would start working on post-LSAT? I have not done any work on any statements, etc. It's been all LSAT, all the time. Letters of recommendation first? I know people are generally slow. Nothing until scores? Study some more for possible retake? Old habits die hard after all..

Thanks!

I see some people who are getting creative with their own methods of prep, such as making lists, making excel documents to test inferences, and the like. I want to put out a challenge for anyone who chooses to accept.. it would probably help all of us as well as help the author:

-Come up with a bunch of fake "game setup" situations that have ambiguous or complicated boards that we will have to translate into a board. (I don't think you have to go all the way and write a whole game)

-Come up with a bunch of conditional translations useful in grouping and sequencing games. (A is before B unless C is before D, Z is 3rd if and only if Y is 7th, B is on Tuesday or Wednesday if C is on Thursday)

I know various courses already have things like this, but why not throw some more out and make it interesting?

Hi, I have been practicing logic games following the fool proof method, it has helped a lot in my confidence. I have become better and getting -2 or -3 for the logic games section i do the first time, however, i have been struggling with the speed. For games which should take 8 minutes i end up taking 13-14, for most games i take like 5 minutes extra than the ideal time to finish though i get almost all answers correct. Anyone else experiencing the same? I have finished the logic games core curriculum and haven't started taking practice tests yet, should i get the Cambridge lg bundle, should i recycle the games from the core curriculum? Will drilling the same types of game would be more helpful? Any suggestions

I'm confused. Some people are saying they had an LR section as experimental. I had a game section that was experimental. Could someone please clarify?

Really felt like I blew it on games. I expected this to be my worst section, but I don't think anything could have prepared me for how tough that was gonna be. I'm leaning toward canceling my score. I was testing in the mid 170's, and I'd be very surprised if I broke 170 with this test.

Coming up with a rough outline of my work for the next 3 months. I have literally every PT including the old rare ones, and TBH I've blown thru most of them. Yeah yeah, you told me so. BUT I don't know if that will be an issue.

If I've seen them already, I should get perfect 180's on them all, right? Right. So since that probably won't actually happen, they will still give me hints and clues as to what I need to work on. Unfortunately I have a job.. so what I'm probably going to do is blow thru as many logic games as possible during the day (I get to sit around a lot) starting with the old ones and working up. The logic games seem to be the most conducive to being able to stop and come back to them. At nights/in free time, I will do 1-2 sections of LR or RC per day and will keep track of the ones I miss in a centralized location. I'm going to treat it like JY's method for games.. doing the section 10 times until I get it perfect. I think this will help me see the patterns of the arguments and passages more clearly through rote memorization. I think I went too fast last time. Taking the tests, but not reviewing my mistakes thoroughly enough

The fact that I drilled literally thousands of LR questions was the only thing that kept me going on Monday. I felt like a machine that had to separate logical answers from BS. Although my machine "did run out of gas" at the end, I can say I knocked over 3 sections b2b no problem. Now I just have to sharpen this axe even further.

Timing is not a concern I have. I was able to get to the end of every section with minutes to spare (besides "that" section) My main concerns are accuracy on the LR, and I have to start making notes on my reading comp. From my experience on test day, my brain will just be too hyped up to concentrate well on the passage enough to answer the Q's from memory. I'm going to have to create a useful system of markings that I will use from passage to passage to describe its contents quickly and be able to go back.

Not waiting for my score.. who cares.. the score will be: NOT GOOD Oct prep starts today.

Everyone seems pretty negative about the June LSAT so I figure I'll bring some positivity as we wait. To be honest I have no idea how I did but I don't feel like I bombed it, then again I'm not looking at a 170-180 so I have more leeway in terms of "bombing".

I went in feeling a little pressure but not much since even if I can't get in to school I already have a job lined up and a pretty good software engineer career to fall back on. I studied for a few months and my PT's ranged from 152 (initial) to 169 (PT 69, before the damn 70's..). I figure I have a good chance of at least getting a high 150 which is fine to get in where I want to go. Of course you're thinking thats super low and yes it is but I have to say I wasn't stressed during the test. I finished every section except the games section before the 5 minute warning. The games I finished a few minutes early. I don't think I got everything correct but I didn't just guess so I feel like my timing definitely was good, I might have thought the wrong things or made bad inferences but I definitely felt like if I had practiced a bit more I had more than enough time to do it right. So thats a win.

I'd also like to thank the kid who kept muttering "The tension in the air" before the test. That made me bust out laughing and I couldn't stop thinking about it during the test which just put me at ease. The proctors kept looking at me because I was smiling and silently chuckling to myself the whole test, especially when I noticed someone frustrated. No matter how bad I did I feel like I handled the pressure well so thats another win.

Anyway, as I await the score I can't help but to feel good about how well I did yesterday, regardless of score.

So we are 6 months away and I am registered for the December LSAT. I am about 3 weeks into the 7Sage curriculum and feeling great so far. How is everyone else doing? have you started preparing for December?

For The Logic Games Bundle, I think it would be beneficial if we had one set that kept them in their original order and another that grouped them based on type. Primarily we use them for practice and it could be beneficial to learn each of them by type. The practice sets do a good job of accomplishing this on a smaller scale, but they may assist the vets for enhancing inference making ability.

I had LR-RC-LR-LR-LG. For those with the same set-up, have we been able to guess which LR was experimental? Was the one about mate/paraguay in the first section?

So I have now canceled 2 lsats. I would have kept my last test if I didn't have to guess on a full game plus a couple of questions. I have not had to do that one time during my entire prep. How do you think law schools will look at this?

Hello!

I've been reading around to see if there's a reliable way to see which section of the exam is the experimental. Apparently in today's times it is incredibly unreliable to tell which section it is. It could be any of the 5 sections, because they no longer default to keeping it in the first 3 sections. I feel like my test score is going to be made or broke (overall I think I still did better than last time) by which LG section was the experimental (If I am disclosing too much info then I'll quickly delete/edit this post.) One of the sections felt no different than any other LG section I had done, then the next one felt extremely foreign. I was able to figure out the games, but my confidence in some of the answer choices wasn't very high. Also, the formatting is extremely shitty when it comes to reading the answers in some LGs. I mean, we are already pressed for time, and having to take even a couple of extra seconds to decipher what is being read can throw people off. I kind of get it in the sense that it can weed people out (i.e. not let any average Joe who didn't study much easily read it) but still.

Yay it's over! For now...

Everything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong.

On RC I just could NOT get in the zone. It's easy to practice getting in the zone where you understand what you read easily and spit it back out, and it's easy to get good RCs on your own time. On test day, COMPLETELY different ballgame. It was nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get in that zone. For me anyway.

The only thing preventing me from cancelling right now is that my backup school only requires like a 163. I'm also holding out on the remote shot that my "guess" answers were right.

At any rate, the answer to the question I've been asking for the last 3 months: Will I have to re-take the LSAT in October? Is a resounding: You better.

So you'll be seeing more of me, 7sage :-)
