Hi,

My name is Michelle aiming to take both Feb and June. My ultimate goal is June so I would prefer having someone to stay with me and motivate each other all the way until June; but anyone is welcome!

I have gone through Bibles and Manhattan strategies and would like to practice PTs and share opinions with study partner/group.

I would like to meet in person if you are located around Los Angeles, CA or I would like to connect through Email, Skype, Phone etc. I am very committed and anyone who is willing to stay motivated please contact me – michellemoon0708@gmail.com

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Michelle

For question 19 of section 3 on the october 2008 test, the stimulus reads: "Bureaucrat: The primary, constant goal of an ideal bureaucracy is to define and classify all possible problems and set out regulations regarding each eventuality. Also, an ideal bureaucracy provides an appeal procedure for any complaint. If a complaint reveals an unanticipated problem, the regulations are expanded to cover the new issue, and for this reason an ideal bureaucracy will have an ever-expanding system of regulations."

Answer choice A reads "An ideal bureaucracy will provide an appeal procedure for complaints even after it has defined and classified all possible problems and set out regulations regarding each eventuality."

In negating this answer choice, I believe that the clause "even after it has defined..." all the way to the end remains constant in both the answer choice and its negation. If this is the case, how does it not break the conclusion of the argument that "an ideal bureaucracy will have an ever-expanding system of regulations."?

Looking to retake in November. Consistently scoring around a 160, hoping to get 165-170 by November. Would love anyone to share in the misery and talk over solutions and try to flesh out questions together. DM me if you're interested! I'm in Mississippi so may have to go for Skype!

Are there any 7Sage, Reddit or other discussions/tutorials/lessons about translating English to Lawgic?

The Lawgic lessons were so easy for me to grasp. Super easy. Then I watch some LR videos where YC transfers English to Lawgic and it doesn’t click what so ever. On super simple LR questions in the CC I would find the correct answer by simply thinking about the words and what I need to do. I then try to transfer it into Lawgic and my markings are not similar to YC’s. When YC chains multiple things it doesn’t click why a sufficient on one would be the necessary on another.

I’ve noticed many comments in the CC of people also having hard time with common threads of “when do I use Lawgic?” As well as plenty of people that totally dismiss Lawgic except in the hardest of LR questions so it seems I am not alone.

When do you use Lawgic in LR?

Do you consistently transfer English to Lawgic when you do?

Are there any resources you recommend?

Or is this simply experience with trial and error?

I can see a significant benefit by translating English to Lawgic but only if it is consistently accurate.

I am writing the exam in July and September. Based on my diagnostics, I am pretty average in all sections and LG is not as intuitive for me so I am currently foolproofing LG by type (as in drilling all games in PTs 1-9, 10-19..20-29 in order*). I am on week 2 of this studying regimen. I plan to transition to foolproofing PT section by PT section and then doing timed sections after registering and reinforcing inferences for each game type. I am currently doing 2 PTs worth every day but finding this to be difficult since I am averaging 5 Games past target time and/or not at 100% accuracy.

*- I am drilling like this:10 Seq, 5 In-Out, 8 Grouping etc. some of the miscellaneous games turned out to be the other general games in disguise that I previously foolproof but others are just super old LSAT games that may show up on recent LSATs in some form (give or take 5-7 games that I am not doing for every 9 games so far).

What I'm doing:

LG by Type X-X

Attempt Game

1st attempt Under Time and 100% accurate: Do game a month from now

If not, do it again that day, and then at the end of the week

2nd attempt Under Time and 100% Accurate same day: do game at the end of the week

2nd attempt NOT Under Time and/or 100% Accurate same day: watch JY's video, do that game same day, then repeat that game on the weekend

Weekend Day 1: 1st Attempt Under Time and 100% accurate: Review game 2 weeks later

Weekend Day 1: 1st Attempt NOT Under Time and 100% accurate: Watch video and do game again, and do it again next day of weekend

Weekend Day 2: 1st Attempt Under Time and 100% accurate: Review game 1 week later

Weekend Day 2: 1st Attempt NOT Under Time and 100% accurate: Do Game 2X the following week

So based on this information...

How many games per day would make my review optimal (currently doing about 8 right now, but slowing down)?

Any suggestions and/or tips for full-time studying in general?

I am taking the July exam but aiming to be most prepared for the September exam. I have the most potential to improve on LG games so I am foolproofing these until the July exam with maybe some LR and RC practice beforehand.

William Patterson University Test Center, Wayne New Jersey

The biggest surprise was the small size of the desktop. Otherwise a great facility.

Proctors: Two were very cordial and professional, stuck with the LSAC script which was fine. Monitored students but not distracting.

Facilities: College building, vending machines in the lobby

What kind of room: classroom

How many in the room: 25 students in a room with 35 desks

Desks: individual desks, tiny desk top, not enough room for booklet without hanging off the edge, challenge for RC and LG to see. LR just folded booklet so one page visible.

Left-handed accommodation: a few lefty desks

Noise levels: quiet

Parking: ample campus parking close by

Time elapsed from arrival to test: no wasted time, very prompt

Irregularities or mishaps: none

Other comments: none

Would you take the test here again? Yes

Date[s] of Exam[s]: September 9 2018

Hey guys so some schools ask directly if you have been terminated or dismissed from a place of employment as one of the C & F questions.

I've attached an addendum explaining my case for that question.

For some schools, though, they don't directly ask employment termination questions. Do I just leave it out?

Or put it under C & F question pertaining to "Academic dismissal, probation, termination from college, university, post secondary institution"? Even though mine was an actual job and not a school or college.

Thanks all.

Hey everyone! I'm just wondering if there are some people from the PHX area that are taking the June LSAT that are willing to meet up for maybe 2-4 hrs weekly. It doesn't even have to be that long, but just a couple of people getting together to discuss tactics (lol, i feel weird saying this about a test) and their best practices. Let me know please. Thanks!
