Just curious to know if anyone has ever been selected to participate in PBAP for the law school of their choice? Since their LSAT score was lower than the median score?

Hey Fellow 7-Sagers,

I'm a slow reader. I'm struggling with time-management on LR quiz practice questions. I'm unable to complete the quizzes within the allotted 15-minutes. I am,however, getting the questions I do answer correct. I've been reading magazines such as The Economist and The Atlantic, but I've yet to see any increases in my reading speed. When I purposely try to speed up, my accuracy suffers. Any tips on increasing reading speed while maintaining accuracy? I know this problem will be a factor on other sections, especially RC. Thank you.

Hey guys, when taking PT's, in order to simulate the conditions on the LSAT, I use the proctor and cut out each section from the 10 official LSAT books. I cut them so they're still attached, as if the real LSAT would be. They're like $20 on Amazon for 10 tests. Not a bad deal.

How do I know if I should solve for all game boards? Is there a way to distinguish the best approach when time is limited?

Anyone find much success limiting (at least at the outset) what you write down during a Logic Game to the second page? My last few games have really improved in time since employing this strategy. I find i write smaller and I refer back to the rules more because they are within my line of sight for almost all of the logic game. It turns out, at least for me, that the LSAC wasn't doing us a favor by changing from one page to 2 pages.

Maybe it is just me, but sometimes i just don't feel motivated to do LSAT. I guess LSAT has not grown into me well yet, what do you guys do to get motivated? Sometimes I noticed switching to logic games sorta "wakes" me up ( I know I am a wierdo but I love the logic games). Reading comp and logic reasoning my mind drifts off , can't focus sometimes. Any advice on keep drilling?

Hi Everyone,

I have already purchased all Lsat prep tests. But I am looking for a resource that has these games grouped into types. Since I'm still a beginner, I am still trying to master the basic sequencing games. Would anyone know if someone has already compiled all those games into some sort of list or PDF?

Thanks!

I am having problems understanding why that AP is the conclusion. Structurally, I understand that it is the conclusion (because of the conclusion indicator 'but'). However, the argument, IMO, is terrible. There is no support that the risk of a satellite colliding will increase in the near future. It says that ONCE it happens, then more collisions will occur. But, what if a collision never occurs in the first place?

Any suggestions for website that has online timer? Any suggestions for online proctor ? Any suggestions for live practice proctors in DC area?

I found this online thought it would be nice for test day lol.

Hey 7Sagers!

So today, I decided to officially register myself for the June 2015 sitting but was in for a surprise. I realized that the place where I wanted to take the Exam, Georgetown LC (where I currently study), was all full. This is shocking because I've seen it been open even until the month before, but I guess it was super popular this time around.

Does anyone know any other good exam sites in the DMV area? Also, I feel like it would be really helpful to everyone if we all shared where we previously taken our exams and if you recommended it to everyone! (not just in DC, but anywhere!)

Although I've heard that test locations matter, the attorney that I work with said that she took her LSAT (and her bar exam) at UMD- College Park, which is known to be a less-than-optimum location...but she ended up at HLS and said that in the end, it's just an exam center. So we shouldn't think too much into it, but i'm sure it will help!

Okay, so I noticed JY does not really do "mapping" when it comes to reading comp. I have taken a Kaplan course before and basically I had to make numerous notes on the side of each paragraph and think of the Topic/Scope/Purpose/Main Idea.

JY doesn't seem to have specific route to doing the reading comp ( like notes, or mapping or whatever). The Kaplan method slowed me down ! ( English is my 3rd language) haha so I am already slow enough. What do you guys do when it comes to reading comp? Do you take notes on side? Do you just underline? Do you just highlight? What sort of things do you always keep an eye out for?

If you want to join PM me with your Skype name.

Hey everyone,

I was just wondering how everyone has been doing on the question sets given after every lesson?

I seem to be hit and miss and sometimes i get 8 out of 10 and sometimes 4 out of 10. My blind review also is not helping that much either as it seems i just seem to go with the same answer as before. what can i do other than re-watch the lesson to bring my marks up to a consistent 8 or 9 out of 10?

Hi All! I have not applied yet to law school but when I do.. I have a question.

When you submit the school's application. Do you have to send your scores right then and there? For ex. I took the Feb test but will be retaking the test when I am ready to get a better score. Is it possible to send the scores together versus one first and then one when I retake?

Thanks in Advance!

I know there've been a few posts on this already but I just wanted to be absolutely clear...I haven't logged in for 2 weeks (taking a much needed lsat vacation) and the first thing I see when I come back is that lsac is taking allllll our pdfs back :( So just to be clear, 7sage will no longer offer ANY pdfs that have lsat material on it after April 21? Not even the practice tests? Will they still be sold on the official lsac website?

Man, what is going on at lsac and could they please get it together...

Hey 7Sagers,

Saw there was some confusion, so I just wanted to let you know that our videos are NOT leaving. Only licensed PDFs are being removed. More on it here:

http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2602/no-more-pdf-downloads-starting-april-21st

So I do not want to constantly open new discussion threads for logic games, I think it is best to make this just one and if anyone else has their own questions just keep posting here and we can all try to answer each others questions. (Just a suggestion :-) )

Preptest 7, Feb 1993 LSAT Logic Games kicked my butt today ! In particular Logic Game 3, (7 Judges, In & Out Game)

http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-7-section-2-game-3/

After reviewing I realized how splitting the game board makes the game so much more easier. But here is where I am still kinda stuck.

Rule 1.) If the two conservatives and at least one liberal voted the same way as each other, then both moderates voted that way.

I initially diagramed this as

If CCL -->MM

IF not MM-> not CCL

But when I saw the video of JY explaining the rules he labeled the contrapositive as

If not CCL -> not MM (little confused why he did it that way, is that not against the arrow?)

I was just wondering, what does it look like to a Law school when you re-take the LSAT, but get a lower score the second time? I know all the law schools i'm going to apply to do NOT average your scores, but instead consider the highest score.

Can y'all please help me explain this? I watched the video a few times, but the numbers method that JY explained..is just not really iron clad proof for me, or at least I'm not really understanding it.

http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-62-section-4-question-16/

I played around with some other numbers, and that didn't really add up to the conclusion.

PT --> E

B some E

B some not E

Conclusion: #E > #not E

JY used 100 for both PT and B. That adds up and makes sense. However, I switched the numbers for PT and B to 50 and 100, respectively. So let's say some B out of 100 is 40, then 50 PT + some B (40) = 90. What's left of B thats not E are 60... 90 > 60 in conclusion, that is correct, but 50 PT and 100 B is not the same.

Thanks!

This is a NA question... One of my least favorites! Could somebody tell me how they approached this question to get B?

I actually crossed out B because of it's ending stating that "...top gov't officials"

NA =subtle assumptions. I think it's late and my brain needs rest lol

But I chose D because of "most effective" but once I BR I knew this answer choice was too strong to be an NA AC. And since it also starts out with "Of all"

Hi,

I'm looking for a dedicated and regular study partner. I want to be able to discuss tricky lsat problems with the partner during the prep and gain from each other's insights. Someone who knows the material well enough to discuss problems and can articulate their reasoning and thought process would be a fit.

My lsat score is 165 but I was PTing much higher in 170s. My target is 174+. RC brings my score down (-6/-9) negating any gains with LG (-0/-1). I'm focusing my efforts on improving RC/LR. I'd be interested to meet weekly for a few hours to discuss challenging issues and prep done during the week.

If interested, let me know and we'll set something up.

The June LSAT is at 12:30 pm; does anyone have suggestions for how to optimally set your internal clock?

Since January, I have been waking up around 5 am in order to get focused study time in before work. I'm a natural night owl, so these days I am drifting back into a later bedtime. Does anyone have thoughts on how your internal clock affects your alertness/ energy? Should I continue to discipline myself to wake up super early for this final stretch (as opposed to suddenly starting to study at night)?

Thanks!

Hello friends. A number of us ( h/t @emli1000 ) gather via Skype voice chat on Saturday's at 4pm PT/5pm MT/6pm CT/7pm ET for group Blind Review.

We are reviewing PT43 this Saturday. Group member @alexandergreene93 pointed out that the more folks we have on the call, the greater the diversity of analysis and input. With that in mind, I'd like to extend the invitation in advance to those who might be interested.

If you would just like to listen in for all or part of the call without taking an active role, that's fine too. This might be particularly useful for those who are not yet taking PT's but want to see (hear) the BR process modeled by several folks from different backgrounds. All ranges of goals welcome (whether your goal is 155 or 175, you will learn something). We've been getting180's on our Group BR consistently.

PM me for details or questions.

And everyone ... Enjoy your LSATurday!

For some reason, I can't load videos in Law School Prep and the "Next" buttons are not showing up on the lesson pages anymore. I bought access yesterday and completed some lessons normally, but today, it isn't working correctly. I've tried refreshing the page and logging out and logging back in again with no success. Also, when I am trying to view the lessons, the "Upgrade" button is appearing at the top of the page. I have already bought premium access, so I don't know why that would be there.
