Fine Print (NOTE: you all want to be lawyers; reading fine print is what lawyers do, so READ IT!)

BR GROUP NOTES:

  • If you want to attend these sessions, you MUST click that link.
  • Here’s an FAQ on GoToMeeting.com: http://www.gotomeeting.com/meeting/online-meeting-support
  • For everyone: take the PT under timed conditions; BR as you are able; join us for all or part of the call—everyone is welcome.
  • Note: For the purposes of the call, we like to check our group blind review score together at the very end of the call :) So at least don't say ... "No guys, really, it's D, I checked it.” Use your reasoning.
  • These groups work best when folks from ALL stages of prep and with all different goals join in! Not just for "super-preppers" and definitely not just for the casual LSATer (does such a person exist?).
  • The only expectation anyone has for these calls is for you to have fun and ask questions as you desire. We are just a bunch of LSAT lovers who gather via GoToMeeting and intellectually slaughter each test.
  • I took the August flex and didn't feel as comfortable with RC and LR as I would have liked. If anyone would like to blind review with me please message me! My LR is anywhere from -0 to -4, and RC is all over the place: -2 to -7.

    If you're scoring around the same and are interested in doing a lot of RC this next month lmk!

    Do we need to do anything with ProctorU after taking the LSAT flex? The "log me in rescue" app is still in my downloads - would I be able to safely remove it? And we're no longer screen-sharing / sharing our webcam video with ProctorU once we close the chat window right? (We have control over our computers again? right after closing the chat window) haha

    Wishing everyone who took the test recently the best!

    Hi all, I have been getting the error:

    **An error has occurred processing your request.

    Please try again. If problem persists, contact LSAC.

    Note: Use of your browser's navigational buttons may cause errors. Please use the navigational buttons provided within LSAC.org Account Access.**

    I followed all the FAQ fixes for this issue, tried different computers, restarting, clearing everything etc. and still have been getting this error. Has anybody else gotten this error?

    yep, as expected, LG3 f-Ed me over. But it's ok because I didn't suck at the other sections. I'm also well within the median for my goal school. But yeah, Game3, how cruel a fate.

    Has anyone used a keyboard cover for the LSAT flex? If so have you had any problems getting it approved from the Procter? I had to buy a laptop internationally for the LSAT so I needed to get a keyboard cover to have the right language keyboard. Thanks!!

    Hi everyone!

    On Wednesday, September 21st, at 9:00 PM ET, we'll be hosting a webinar about "Pre-phrasing your Way to Success on Logical Reasoning."

    If you're someone that sometimes feels disoriented by answer choices or are running out of time on LR, this webinar will hone an important skill for improving both speed and accuracy.

    For this webinar, we'll be going over the importance of pre-phrasing, which question types benefit from a pre-phrase vs. which ones don't, how to do it, the degrees of concreteness a pre-phrase could have, and the level of flexibility they should all have.

    → Please register for the webinar here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_D5nZuClqSDSO-CwOER_uMQ

    ⚠️ After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

    ⚠️ You’ll have to register for this webinar in advance.

    The webinar will be recorded, and we may post it on our site or on YouTube. We may also share the audio on our podcast.

    If you want to ask a question, you should connect via a computer instead of calling in. We also recommend that you join the webinar a few minutes early and test your microphone.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to comment down below! I hope to see you there!

    Does anyone know how to go about getting an LSAT tutor/how an tutor would help you? I haven't done all the 7Sage curriculum or done many practice test, but the ones I have taken I have averaged 152. Would I be better off saving money and doing all the curriculum and doing more PTs, or would a tutor be even more beneficial? It's not that I don't understand the material it's just that I don't have a lot of practice I think. Also does anyone know how much a tutor would be for about 3 months? TIA

    Hey! I've gotten a lot out of this discussion forum, so I thought I'd do my part and help some peeps out. I made a Logic Games Log to track progress... I have been using this along with a method shared by another 7 Sage user to increase my proficiency on LG.

    The Method:

  • Attempt the game using a stopwatch and make note of your time.
  • Watch J.Y. 7 Sage Explanation video, and then make a second attempt at the very same game.
  • On the following day, do the game again (3rd attempt).
  • One week later, do the game (4th attempt).
  • *With each attempt, use this log to track your time, questions missed, and thought process.

    I hope this helps!!!

    The internal mic on my computer doesn't work. Does anyone know whether or not it'll be okay for me to use the mic on my earbuds to talk with the proctor, or do I need another kind of external mic that doesn't involve having earbuds in? Thanks!

    Help

    Hello everyone,

    I have spent the past 10 days focusing mostly on RC. I am having a great deal of trouble with this section. JY's low-res summary has not helped me one bit. I am having great troubles understanding the passage before moving into the questions. I have started looking into possible tutors to help develop strategies that will help me. I had a call with a company called "Varsity Tutors" today, they gave me a quote of $1200 for 12 hours of 1 on 1 instruction time. The price seems absolutely ludicrous given the amount of supervision.

  • Has anyone had a good experience working with Varsity Tutors?
  • Is this price as outrageous as I think it is? Or am I just out of touch with industry standard?
  • Has anyone hired a 7Sage tutor and can suggest them to me?
  • I'm feeling defeated at this point, and any help would be greatly appreciated

    Okay, I know this has been asked, but I'm still a little confused: do we need to provide parent info or not??

    Some law school financial aid pages make it even more confusing by saying that we are considered financially independent from parents at this stage.

    So, what's the deal? Any help would be much appreciated! (3(/p)

    Hi guys are we supposed to be taking all the practice sets at the end of LR or taking one and saving them to come back to. I did the first two and i was going to finish it but then i read discussion posts saying not to do that.

    LSAT Party time, that is!

  • This is a question mostly geared towards Blind Review

    So my highest PT is a 155 and my highest Blind Review is a 165. I almost always fix a ton of my issues on LG because I think it's the simplest to improve. Nevertheless, I don't seem to really improve a lot on other sections. I've improved a lot on LR on my LSAT journey, but RC has been probably the toughest challenge. I think it's a mix of me not circling questions for blind review, and then if I circle a lot of questions I think to myself "well this logic is just fine, keep the answer".

    There's obviously many factors in considering what kind of LR/RC question it is, but more often than not I just can't seem to contradict my logic either in the moment when i'm taking the test or when i'm looking at review. What would be a good method for counterbalancing complete confidence in something vs being overtly suspicious that the answer is wrong? I know from the CC one way of figuring out if NA questions are suspect is by negating them and seeing if it wrecks the argument, do similar methods exist for other frequent LR/RC questions?

    I am taking the October Flex and I have a question about the LSAT writing. I took the LSAT last July, when it first became digital and cancelled my score after being able to see it. I have an LSAT writing on record on the lsac website from 7/15/19, which I am able to read. It also gives me an option to "launch lsat writing" for this October test....do I need to do a new lsat writing section or can the one I already have on file be used?

    how did you guys study using the core curriculum/practice tests? did you go through the entire core curriculum as is (ex: doing several of the weaken question problem sets in a row) or did you not do all and go back to them? I'm just confused as to what I would use for drilling after I go through the entire core curriculum in order? (also, the core curriculum is just considered everything before you reach the practice tests correct? or is it everything before diagnostic?)

    Confirm action

    Are you sure?
