Does anyone know how likely you are to get a Misc Game on the test? I'm worried if I get one it will mess up my whole section. How can you practice for Misc Games?

Hi everyone,

I just posted a new resource about law school interviews! The lesson gives you some general advice and collects accounts of recent interviews. It's incomplete, because we didn't have permission from everyone to post something, but it should give you something to chew on if you've had a request for an interview.

Happy new year!

... Before I spend time gathering a bunch of MBT questions and making them one LR section for practice, does anyone have any idea where I can find something like this? I am looking for 25-27 MBT questions all together as one practice section.

Thanks in advance!

Proctors: Let people choose where they wanted to sit. One ate a sandwich during the test...

Facilities: The university itself is nice and small. The room our test was in however...

What kind of room: A small classroom.

How many in the room: About 30

Desks: SMALL FOLDING DESKS. THE MOST TERRIBLE DESKS IMAGINABLE.

Left-handed accommodation: I didn't pay attention.

Noise levels: Terrible. The window was open and you could hear people laughing/yelling outside. People walked by our classroom talking loudly and the proctors didn't even go out to tell them to be quiet.

Parking: I was dropped off.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: About 40 minutes. They had everyone line up outside in four rows and then each row walked single-file to a different classroom. It was strange. None of the other locations I tested at did this.

Irregularities or mishaps: ^The walking/lining up thing really threw me off. It was unexpected.

Other comments: Terrible. Avoid this location if you can for the small desks alone, not to mention all the other weird parts about it.

Would you take the test here again? NO

Date[s] of Exam[s]: October 2015

d

Proctors: Very helpful and friendly

Facilities: Hard to locate but proctors will guide you.

What kind of room: Court room. Seating was uncomfortable

How many in the room: Less than 30

Desks: A lot of desk space available during the test

Left-handed accommodation: Very good.

Noise levels: Door to the room was squeaky

Parking: Very accessible. Free parking on Saturdays

Time elapsed from arrival to test: Total test time took 6 hours

Irregularities or mishaps: N/A

Other comments: I wrote here twice and I recommend it

Would you take the test here again? Yes. Hopefully don't have to re-write though.

Date[s] of Exam[s]: October 3, 2015 and December 5, 2015.

If someone has their test date postponed for a couple days after the scheduled test date, are they given a different version of the test in any way? I imagine the 4 scored sections would have to be the same (they are, right?), but are the experimental sections the same as well? Anyone with experience with this?

Another user posted this and appears that I had exact same test (even with accommodations). Second LSAT - here are my feelings:

LG: :-D est 20/23 correct

LR1: :-( est 10/25 correct

LR2: :-D est 18-20/25 correct

RC: :-| est 20-24/27 correct

LR3: :-D est 18-20/25 correct

LG had shrines, oranges, melons, pears, tangerines; north store and south stores; lectures; Garcia & co.

Other user's notes:

I had LG-LR(25)-LR(26)-RC-LR(25).

LG had game on Quandryville and Pleasantville.

RC had Argentinian author, hominids, and comparative law on women's labor.

For LR:

First Q of my first LR (25) section was on restaurants long term versus new patrons and the menu.

For the 26 LR, first Q was on blood transfusions and hepatitis. There were also two sets of the one stimulus, two Q's.

For my last LR (25) the first Q was on the mayor's comment on wild, non domesticated animals and dogs. There was also a question about tutoring students and spelling ability for academic ability towards the end.

Note:

sooo frustrating. i did well on the lessons, I do the question before listening to J.Y. But then when it comes to the problem sets, I dont do as well. AND, sometimes i get the same amount of answers correct the first time around as I do with blind review but becuase I have changed some of my answer choices the 2nd time around. I dont know how to fix this. Are the “lessons” easier than the problem sets? thanks

Hope for your goal score!

Working hard on MBT questions but I cannot get the Quickview or Answer drop downs to work. Is the system down for maintenance, and if so, when will it be back up? Thank you!!

I find myself understanding this concept, but I can't do the timed problem sets under the time given. Does anybody have any outside resources they'd like to share?

Here’s the schedule this week:

BR GROUP NOTES:

Hello!

I'm looking for a study buddy so that we can motivate each other and also work through/review some difficult questions together. in the late 70s and 80s I believe mental wellbeing is super important, so I would prefer working with someone who is a good communicator that has (or tries) to have a positive attitude toward the LSAT!

I have gone through the Powerscore LG and LR Bibles, LSAT Trainer, JY's LG videos, and Loophole. I have completed every PT from 50-89....and working on foolproofing LG

I would say my weakest section is RC and strongest section is LG, but I really want to do well in every section because each part is weighted equally now.

I would like to meet once or twice a week; evenings EST work best for me, so that would be ideal!

Please message me or comment if you're interested! Thanks

Obviously most of us know by now that there are a handful of syllogism forms that reoccur over and over throughout the LR. I know that causality is different from conditionality, but I'm wondering how valid argument forms relate to causal arguments? Are these syllogisms applicable to causal arguments at all or are syllogisms applicable only to conditional arguments?

So I now have a binder several inches thick that holds all of my games. I try to do AT LEAST 5 games a day on top of the rest of my life and all those sheets have added up. But the real problem is that without me doing some really intense work, I have no way to quickly and easily look at my aggregate games data. I think it would be great if 7sage could add a feature where I could select a game (ex. PT 66, game 2) and then I would enter the time I took to finish the game and my answers. Then 7sage could show me all the stats about that game and all my other games too. I could see past scores/times for certain games. It could even keep track of different question types (new/substitute rule, MBT, MBF, could be true, etc.) so I could even tailor my prep down to the question. I think it wouldn't be too too difficult to implement because 7sage already has all the Q-types in their system. Anyways just a thought.

Proctors: All the proctors were really nice and courteous. The only issue we had in our room was that a lady miscounted the people in the room... twice!! We had to sit there an extra ten minutes for them to figure out what the heck what going on.

Facilities: The building is beautiful (restrooms and testing rooms). Nothing to complain about here.

What kind of room: Law Classrooms

How many in the room: I don't remember the exact number, but it was in the range of about 20 - 30.

Desks: The desks were in good condition and pretty sturdy. They are the standard long desks a few people share as they face toward the front.

Left-handed accommodation: N/A

Noise levels: Other than the other people sitting around you? Nothing out of the ordinary... except I had a guy blowing his nose every 5 min...

Parking: Parking is a breeze. It's right next to the building. I'm actually not sure if I had to pay for parking, but I did it anyway. It was $5, the last thing I wanted to worry about that day was whether I had to pay for parking.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: About 30 min.

Irregularities or mishaps: I briefly mentioned this part above.

Other comments: Nope.

Would you take the test here again? Sure!

Date[s] of Exam[s]: Dec. 7th 2015

I seem to have a good grasp on these, getting them down to the last 2 possible answers-85% of the time choosing the right answer. But, in my opinion, for more than 75% of the correct answers they never tend to be the comparative answers. Is it safe to say that majority of the time the answers are NOT comparative, unless the subject within the statement has a comparison?

I'm seeking someone who I can study with and also who I can maybe help on the LSAT. I've scored from 164-174 on practice tests and I might be able to help someone who doesn't have access to professional tutoring/LSAT classes. I learn by explaining, so I think this would be helpful for me and for the other person. I started at a 158 and I've learned a lot to help me raise my score, I'd love to help someone else raise their score too.

I'd prefer a female study buddy because I'm a girl, but this isn't 100% necessary. I have trouble focusing in groups, so we would study 1-on-1 at a local coffee shop or library or something.

Hi everyone, hope your studying is going well!

I just finished the Foundations section and the Main Conclusion section of 7sage. Is this a good time to start taking practice tests? Should I wait until I get further into the LR study section before beginning to take practice tests?

Would love to hear what you all think and what has worked for you!

June BR Group Schedule: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/6171/june-test-takers-group-br-schedule-updated

NOTE: I front-loaded the PT 70 - 75 because I believe that people need to get eyes on 70s sooner rather than later. We’ll still have PT 76 and 77 available to PT in May. Trust me when I say it is worth it to do these tests twice. And if you don’t feel comfortable hitting the 70s yet, don’t worry. We’re going to repeat this cycle of PT 70-75 at the end of February just in case.

Please click the link and comment if you plan on participating.

Note:

So I chose C, the conclusion is that the scientist said that kids need learn how to draw curves first then they can move on to angles. So my reasoning: I chose C because it explains a reason as to why they cant just jump into angles

a) were not talking about straight lines

b) theyre not answering the question as to why they need to learn first how to copy curves before they can draw angles. I

c) this is correct because its saying that they need to be able to discern what an angle is before they can move to angles so it gives us a reason why

d) this weakens the argument

e) this I don’t think will support the hypothesis because yes they have the ability to but CAN they do it, I have the ability to sing but can I actually sing, NO lol

So can someone walk me through why Im wrong? Thank you!
