Is there anyone that can help me with Reading Comprehension? I'm reading the passages and I'm having a hard time understanding it and answering the questions. I can't even get the questions right without it timed. Am I the only one experiencing this?

one of the answer choices states that it is unreason able to believe that 1000 consecutive coin flips will turn up heads,

so is it logically reasonable to believe that 1000 consecutive coin flips will not turn up heads?

When circling answers into the bubble sheet or practice sheet, do you recommend going by every answer or waiting until 5 minutes then transferring them? I have heard both from different sources. I want to use my time wisely.

I'm re-taking in June. I've calculated that outside of the first 12 hours dedicated to the diagnostic, and the remaining PTs, the course itself is only 74 hours of instruction. Has anyone tried to cram the lessons into less than a month and spent the rest of the time PTing? <----This is what I want to do. And from there do 3 PTs a week + targeting my weakness areas. For what it's worth, I have no other obligations right now outside of preparing for the LSAT. Thanks for your input.

I'll be taking a PT every other day in the library up until June.

Anyone want to join in on the fun? I use the 7SAGE app to proctor my tests.

Tomorrow is PT 37.

In AP type questions, what would ideas introduced with these types of phrases be considered? Conceding points that would seem contrary to the conclusion being argued for yet implied that they are not sufficient to wreck the conclusion the author is going for? in other words, points of concession?

Anyone around OC prepping for the OCT 2014 LSAT?

Once we have cut out question like JY said and drill, Do you time your self, when drilling these weaknesses?

If not, would you at least start timing these after drilling these to a point where you can usually answer them correctly?

I know this sounds intuitive, but I just want to make sure that people agree with me in that you should master your weaknesses (un-timed) first, before you start drilling these problem sets timed.

I’ve been blind reviewing (i.e. doing the non-circled timed question) a second round un-timed, and I found myself correcting my error and noting the trap I fell for. I feel as though I do not circle these, as I fall for the LSAT trap answer choice.

Do you not suggest we take a second shot at the non-circled questions before we check the answer? Or perhaps I should just be stricter on my 100% certainty approach and start circling more questions?

In essence, does anyone know if we should be doing a second un-timed stab at our confidence errors during timed practice?

My biggest problem ATM is finishing logic games...I'm not sure if practicing finishing LG in less than 35 min (~30 min) wouldn't be counterintuitive though. But at the same time, it may force me to be more aggressive in my methodology toward games. Does anyone have experience with this method?

Hi guys,

I am just wondering what scores people here shoot for? I wonder if an average person can get into 90 percentile by virtue of hard work. Or is 170+ goal is mostly for someone with a couple of Master's degrees or a Ph.D.?

I know someone who got 170 on LSAT and got her tuition waived by UPenn. It really inspired me to get the highest score possible. I just don't know what goal is realistic.

I just decided to Retake in June, with the hopes of getting off the waitlist at a school that I really want to attend. I just discovered this site...keeping in mind that exam is 10.5 weeks away, and that I'll be putting in 20+ hours of prep work a week - is the 7Sage starter package a good fit for me?

i generally study at least 3 hours a day. i felt that 3 hours a day would be sufficient for me because i am fast learner and my attention span does not last long. what do those of you with short attention spans do to focus on studying? I'd like to know so i can study for at least an hour and half longer.

Has anyone tired the RC tutoring from "Graeme Blake- "a tutor form 7sage ( you can find him under the resources tab and sub-tab tutoring ). It suggest people do at least one hour with him specifically in regards to RC. Im just wondering if anyone tried this. If so what they thought? I need get my RC score up! lol. I have gotten my LR and LG scores to consistently to reach the bare minimum of what i want them to be. But my RC section is lacking in this consistency and i n general accuracy. I'll do anything to improve my RC correctness by like 35% lol!

Thanks to future respondents

Jake.

Have you guys found it normal to have super varied scores? My first test after taking the course I got a 165. The next test I took I got a 155, then a 157, and now back to a 164.

Any suggestions?

Hi everyone,

I'm new here! I am taking the June test. I wanted to cover all of my bases, so I was wondering if anyone had a list of games similar to December 1994 Game 4. Also, does anyone have a list of all the games that feature circular sequencing. For example, when we have to seat people around a table? (There was one in June 1991). Maybe JY knows where these games appear.

Thanks!

For those who haven't noticed, JY recently finished putting up video explanations for every question of preptests 36-45 (previously, some of them had some missing), so if you were having trouble with any of those questions, check them out.

Big thanks to JY. All hail the king.

So there's been a few studies that found that good looking people make more money on average over their lifetime than people who are not good looking. My question is this:

Have all these studies done is establish that there is a correlation between looks and income or can we say that good looks cause higher incomes? The studies seem to suggest or imply a causal relationship but if all they've done is establish a correlation, their findings are not as interesting. What's you analysis on this?

Hey guys! I'm new here, and I am seeking some advice.

I'm debating what kind of prep I should do before the Sep/Oct LSAT.

I have done a condensed Kaplan online course before (a mistake), but that was awhile ago, so I don't remember all too much from it.

I was wondering...is all the material on 7sage (i.e. premium) ENOUGH to prep for the LSAT? Did any of you supplement the course with Powerscore bibles or Manhattan books?

I know a lot of people have used other programs before switching over to 7sage...has the acquired knowledge from other companies helped you with your 7sage experience?

Thanks!!

i feel like the difficulty in the reading comp has increased with the newer tests (espc. in terms of the question and answer choices); the difficulty in logic games has decreased; and more grey are has come in the logical reasoning sections. Here I mean the things i am getting wrong are not so much problems with logic or things we learned about in the course but with subtle nuances or interpretations of a word -things i consider more grey than questions from the older PTs . Does anyone else share this sentiment? I am only on Pt 54. If you are futher along and agree (or disagree) are there any further changes in the pattern of the test ( assuming you agree there has been changes) or is 54 about represantive of the most recent tests? I want to use my time to study the most representative old tests of the newest tests. So if 54 is very similar to the newest tests ill cont in my chronological taking of the Pts. If 54 is not really representative, then ill consider jumping forward to allocate my time most effectively given the amount of time i have left if i take the test in June.

Much appreciation,

Jake.

Hi,

I live in Brampton and taking the June LSAT. Anyone in Brampton willing to study together?? Please let me know!

Thanks!

Do any of you sometimes hesitate to go to the next problem when you have the same letter answer twice in a row? I sometimes loose a couple of seconds because I feel unsure when I see for example two A's in a row. Any advice? I sometimes waste time by going back and quickly looking over B,C,D and E, when I know A is the answer. How can I work on my confidence for games?

I have noticed that in main point questions the conclusion is not clearly present sometimes, and when this happens, it is very important that one uses the premises and context to anticipate a conclusion. Examples of this(referential phrasing) occurs in PT28, LR2 Section 3 and PT 30, LR 1, Section 2. Does anyone have any thoughts?

To my fellow future lawyers, take a 15 minute break and check out this excellent TED talk:

It is rawrsome. :)

Hey guys/gals,

I'm a very serious undergrad preparing for the June 2014 lsat exam.

Let me know if anyone is in my local south florida area and wants to get together daily/ multiple times a week either in person or online (google hangout) to study by doing the same LSAT tests, problems, comparing our answers/logic, etc.

my info is cgrosinger@gmail.com

i am looking forward to getting started asap.

good luck studying!
