Good luck to some on Saturday!!

I just withdrew from the upcoming test and I decided to apply next cycle (I did not hit my target score and decided to fold). I'm looking to work with and interact with LSAT go-getters and ultimately improve with one another. I'm also looking to construct a study plan with someone's experienced insight. I can provide all the necessary details of my lsat adventures to someone that extends a hand.

For the Saturday writers: Stay strong! Stay focused! You got this! Believe in yourself!

In the interest of writing my LOCI's I've been visiting schools and contacting admissions offices.

I recently contacted a school that told me I was welcome to do a self-guided tour, OR, to wait a few weeks and then schedule a meeting with an admissions officer. They specifically told me it was a "Wait List informational meeting" and that it was "neither evaluative nor an interview."

What exactly is it then? Does anybody have experience with this type of meeting? Is it worth it to wait until after May 15th to visit this school or does that sound late? Does it sound like they'd take my interest more seriously if I did this then just check in at the office for a self-guided tour? I only have the $ to visit this school once and honestly even that is a stretch, so I'd like to get the most bang for my buck.

Prepping for the December test.

To prepare for study abroad, exactly five students- M, N, P, R, and T- will learn at least one of four languages: French, Hindi, Italian, and Spanish. No student learns any other language. The following conditions apply:

No student learns all four languages.

At least two of the students learn French.

Any language that is learned by R is not learned by N.

If French is learned by any student, then that student learns Italian.

If Hindi is learned by any student, then that student learns Spanish.

P learns French.

5.) Which one of the following is a pair of languages that CANNOT both be learned by student R?

a. French and Italian

b. French and Spanish

c. Hindi and Italian

d. Italian and Spanish

e. Hindi and Spanish

Book says D. I say B and C are also possible. The only way those answers don't work is if R no longer has to learn the accompanying language with N still does. It DOES say pair which may mean the rules for him can be broken. If true, this is a thinly veiled modifier that I would probably have gotten wrong, possibly i just have to familiarize myself with this test more.

I chose D as an answer based on the whole passage (It talks about literary techniques, right?), but the right answer is A. I couldn't find which part of the passage makes A is a right answer.

I have no idea why D is wrong and A is the right answer.

Can anyone explain me?

Thanks!

Hi,

I’m seeking a tutor to help me prepare for the July exam. I’ve been studying on my own with 7Sage for awhile, but with the exam nearing I’m hoping that a tutor will (1) motivate me to commit more, regular time to studying until the big day and (2) help me understand some of the more difficult questions that are keeping me from getting the 170+ score that I’m aiming for consistently.

I think it’d be most helpful to have someone who scored in the mid-to-high 170s, since I’m occasionally scoring in that range. I’d prefer in person, if possible but would be happy to do this over phone/Skype also.

Please message me if you think you could help out! Thanks in advance.

Anybody in the area that wants to do some last min studying for this February lsat

Any suggestions or tips on maintaining the energy level during test (outside of doing more full test)? I find the first section I am great then something breaks midway through the second section. Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,

Here is the gist: I have a scientific background and tend to do well on science passages. I suck at art and humanities passages.

It seems like I can go -0 pretty easily on 1 and 2 star passages, -1 on 3 star passages, and anything between -2 to -4 on 4 and 5 star passages.

Obviously I have difficulty with the hard and hardest passages. I find that I read the stimulus in about 3:30 minutes and usually that is enough to understand 1 to 3 star passages really well to get most of the questions right. Spend the same amount of time on 4 and 5 star passages though, and I get a lot of questions wrong timed. I know that it is because a) I spin my wheels on difficult questions and b) I did not fully understand the passage.

I know what I have to do in order to address a), but for b) it seems to be a case of... I need to do a drill set/intensive on hard reading comp passages. I went ahead and printed all the 4 to 5 star passages from PT 7 to 35. Going to do them timed and blind review. And then put them away/archive them and redo them after some time has passed. What do you think?

Choosing a law school is one of the hardest parts of the admissions process, not because you do not have options, but because you finally do. In this episode, @JacobBaska breaks down what it actually means to deposit, how that differs from enrolling, when it makes sense to ask for a deposit deadline extension, and how to think through waitlists, pending decisions, scholarship timing, and even the possibility of retesting or reapplying.

Jake also walks through the bigger-picture questions that should shape your final choice: rank, cost, scholarship money, job outcomes, geography, student culture, and whether a school genuinely feels like the right fit for your next three years and beyond. If you are staring at multiple offers, waiting on one last decision, or wondering whether it is okay to double deposit, this episode gives you a practical framework for making the call with confidence.

Hi,

I'm always confused about these questions. I don't understand if the question is asking you all the potential objects that can belong in the group, or the potential objects in the group in one instance.

For example (Prep Test 43, Question 18): "Which of the following could be a complete and accurate list of each of the office buildings that the falafel tuck serves?"

A. X

B. X, Z

C. X,Y,Z

D. Y,Z

E. Z

A, B, and E can be eliminated based on the fact that the stimulus provides that F must serve Y. The answer is D because the question meant "in one scenario". However, I read it as "all the potential trucks" the Falafel truck could serve. In one possibility, F serves Y,X and in another Y,Z. So potentially, F could serve all 3 leading me to answer choice C.

I'm definitely reading this question wrong. Can someone please explain to me the wording difference between when they ask for all potentials vs. in one possibility?

Thanks a lot to whomever responds.

Hey guys, is anyone willing to look over the first draft of my personal statement? I just want to make sure I'm heading in the right direction. Willing to do a swap if needed! Thanks!

Hey guys, does anyone have any idea of approximately how big scholarships are for Canada? Average? I'm googling award recipients and can't seem to find much regarding the amount Canada gives. Don't want to get too specific, but for a student who is accepted into Ontario schools, just looking for a ballpark on what to expect

Two friends, two completely different LSAT study strategies—so who’s right? In this episode, @AlexJacobs and @BaileyLuber explain how to structure your week with PTs, timed sections, and targeted drills to build toward a 175+ without burning out.

I don't know why but I always struggle with Flaw questions and get 50% of them wrong all the time. It's just not clicking! Does anyone have any tips that worked for them? Anything would be appreciated.

Are there in study groups in Washington DC area for LSAT in September 2017?

How should I be reviewing logical reasoning questions? I find that just reading the explanation doesn’t seem to help me much? I also go over the questions I am not sure about by reading forums but it hasn’t worked out well

How should I prepare for the lsat? I need some kind of in person interaction, but do not have the funds for private tutoring. I know this is 7sage’s forum, but are there specific courses people could recommend? I tried blueprint and it didn’t work out
