I seem to be struggling with timing on LR. I did a few untimed LR sections from the older lsats and I always get max 2 wrong. My scores drop significantly when timed. Not only do I rarely finish the section, but I am only getting 14-17 right. I feel this is whats holding me back from a high 150s/low 160s score that I am aiming for. I don't know what to do to improve this. Any help would be significant in my studies. Thanks.

How often do you guys take a practice test? Especially for those taking the LSAT in June?

I started going through each lesson in order. But I skip the example questions and go to all the explaining of the subjects. I want to go through the examples at the same time I am taking a test so I can see and compare my answers and approaches with the examples. (Does this make sense?)

Recently started with a practice test a week and interested in what your normal spread between your timed test conditions and blind review are? My normal is 7-10 extra points, but my last test I got 15 extra points. A lot of it is because I frequently run out of time with the logic games sections, still working on those.

I'd be interested in your experiences and whether you've found the gap narrowing as you get more experience...

With my improved LSAT score (thanks 7sage) I got into a law school with a partial scholarship. I emailed back for more funds. They tripled the scholarship. A number of the forums recommend doing this around seat registration time.

I feel so unprepared and am finding a hard time to find a balance between being an author, mom, wife and LSAT. Any tips?

Hey guys,

I was wondering if any of you have, or know anyone, who has read books on formal logic. Periodically, i have read in blogs of people reading books on formal logic that gave them a great understanding of logic games and logical reasoning. However, the posts i saw did not include book titles, nor did they include how boring the books may be (although that could be good prep for reading comp as well!). Any feedback is appreciated and any ideas for additional external reading for improvement is welcomed.

Is there anyone that can help me with Reading Comprehension? I'm reading the passages and I'm having a hard time understanding it and answering the questions. I can't even get the questions right without it timed. Am I the only one experiencing this?

one of the answer choices states that it is unreason able to believe that 1000 consecutive coin flips will turn up heads,

so is it logically reasonable to believe that 1000 consecutive coin flips will not turn up heads?

When circling answers into the bubble sheet or practice sheet, do you recommend going by every answer or waiting until 5 minutes then transferring them? I have heard both from different sources. I want to use my time wisely.

I'm re-taking in June. I've calculated that outside of the first 12 hours dedicated to the diagnostic, and the remaining PTs, the course itself is only 74 hours of instruction. Has anyone tried to cram the lessons into less than a month and spent the rest of the time PTing? <----This is what I want to do. And from there do 3 PTs a week + targeting my weakness areas. For what it's worth, I have no other obligations right now outside of preparing for the LSAT. Thanks for your input.

I'll be taking a PT every other day in the library up until June.

Anyone want to join in on the fun? I use the 7SAGE app to proctor my tests.

Tomorrow is PT 37.

In AP type questions, what would ideas introduced with these types of phrases be considered? Conceding points that would seem contrary to the conclusion being argued for yet implied that they are not sufficient to wreck the conclusion the author is going for? in other words, points of concession?

Anyone around OC prepping for the OCT 2014 LSAT?

Once we have cut out question like JY said and drill, Do you time your self, when drilling these weaknesses?

If not, would you at least start timing these after drilling these to a point where you can usually answer them correctly?

I know this sounds intuitive, but I just want to make sure that people agree with me in that you should master your weaknesses (un-timed) first, before you start drilling these problem sets timed.

I’ve been blind reviewing (i.e. doing the non-circled timed question) a second round un-timed, and I found myself correcting my error and noting the trap I fell for. I feel as though I do not circle these, as I fall for the LSAT trap answer choice.

Do you not suggest we take a second shot at the non-circled questions before we check the answer? Or perhaps I should just be stricter on my 100% certainty approach and start circling more questions?

In essence, does anyone know if we should be doing a second un-timed stab at our confidence errors during timed practice?

My biggest problem ATM is finishing logic games...I'm not sure if practicing finishing LG in less than 35 min (~30 min) wouldn't be counterintuitive though. But at the same time, it may force me to be more aggressive in my methodology toward games. Does anyone have experience with this method?

Hi guys,

I am just wondering what scores people here shoot for? I wonder if an average person can get into 90 percentile by virtue of hard work. Or is 170+ goal is mostly for someone with a couple of Master's degrees or a Ph.D.?

I know someone who got 170 on LSAT and got her tuition waived by UPenn. It really inspired me to get the highest score possible. I just don't know what goal is realistic.

I just decided to Retake in June, with the hopes of getting off the waitlist at a school that I really want to attend. I just discovered this site...keeping in mind that exam is 10.5 weeks away, and that I'll be putting in 20+ hours of prep work a week - is the 7Sage starter package a good fit for me?

i generally study at least 3 hours a day. i felt that 3 hours a day would be sufficient for me because i am fast learner and my attention span does not last long. what do those of you with short attention spans do to focus on studying? I'd like to know so i can study for at least an hour and half longer.

Has anyone tired the RC tutoring from "Graeme Blake- "a tutor form 7sage ( you can find him under the resources tab and sub-tab tutoring ). It suggest people do at least one hour with him specifically in regards to RC. Im just wondering if anyone tried this. If so what they thought? I need get my RC score up! lol. I have gotten my LR and LG scores to consistently to reach the bare minimum of what i want them to be. But my RC section is lacking in this consistency and i n general accuracy. I'll do anything to improve my RC correctness by like 35% lol!

Thanks to future respondents

Jake.

Have you guys found it normal to have super varied scores? My first test after taking the course I got a 165. The next test I took I got a 155, then a 157, and now back to a 164.

Any suggestions?

Hi everyone,

I'm new here! I am taking the June test. I wanted to cover all of my bases, so I was wondering if anyone had a list of games similar to December 1994 Game 4. Also, does anyone have a list of all the games that feature circular sequencing. For example, when we have to seat people around a table? (There was one in June 1991). Maybe JY knows where these games appear.

Thanks!

For those who haven't noticed, JY recently finished putting up video explanations for every question of preptests 36-45 (previously, some of them had some missing), so if you were having trouble with any of those questions, check them out.

Big thanks to JY. All hail the king.

So there's been a few studies that found that good looking people make more money on average over their lifetime than people who are not good looking. My question is this:

Have all these studies done is establish that there is a correlation between looks and income or can we say that good looks cause higher incomes? The studies seem to suggest or imply a causal relationship but if all they've done is establish a correlation, their findings are not as interesting. What's you analysis on this?
