I've already paid and am registered, but have no idea whether I need to withdraw, and then re-register, or if there's a way to redelegate it, ect and If I've missed some sort of deadline?

I am taking the LSAT in February and could use a study partner to help get ready for this bastard of a test.

Hello all, yes this is another RC discussion topic. I was wondering if I should drill RC sections or just the passages. I have been doing both and feel like I should be completely getting these passages right and understand them before I do timed sections.

Hey!

I'm looking for a study buddy who would like to take two practice tests a week. I was thinking Mondays and Thursdays around 5:30/6PM.

I work full- time and need to hold myself accountable. Let me know if you're interested.

Hey Guys, I'm currently out of the country and would be returning around Thanksgiving. In the meantime, I am studying on my own (using 7sage of course) and would like to know if there would be anyone willing to form a study group with me? My only means of communication would be skype for now till i get back. Thanks! Let me know.

OKAY EMERGENCY:

I started studying for the LSAT in July 2014 and I took a prep course with Testmasters. I am happy with the company I went but they had their weaknesses and strength like any other company. I was supposed to take the test September 2014 but I postponed it to December because I did not feel like 2 month prep was enough. Realistically , I am aiming for high 160s. I never took a practice test besides my cold diagnosis (133) because I wanted to learn everything first. I literally studied from 10AM to 4AM everyday until school started and some drama happened with my courses that I had to end up taking 20 units, which took a whole junk of my time away from LSAT even though I tried very hard to study for it at least three times a week for four hours. Time flew and November month came, I still had not taken a disagnosis. So, I woke up at 8am and took my first diagnosis. I HATE IT...TIMING KILLED EVERYTHING. I got the 13 logical reasoning questions I answered right (maybe missed 1 or 2 for careless mistake) and logic game? I could only manage to finish 1 even though I answered it all right. I got a 125 as my score which is lower than my cold diagnosis. I read LSAT blogs and people were saying your second diagnosis is typically going to be less than your cold one so I calmed down - Testmasters also said the same thing when I was enrolled in their course. So the third time I attempted to take it and once again I hated it....I know exactly how to find the right answer in no more than 1 minute but I AM A SLOW READER I LITERALLY have to go back to a sentence and read it at least twice to understand exactly what's going on....this is where my problem comes into play.....timing!!!! I can master the logical games (-0) reading comp (-3 max), logical reasoning (-8 max) but that's if I had all the time in the world to finish the test...or at least 1 hour for each section. I have taken only 4 diagnosis but graded 3 only because every time I do I get frustrated....I am in the high 140s right now...last time was 149. I just end up guessing on majority of the ones that I don't get to answer that's why it's so low. People and Testmaster instructor keep telling me to do practice tests...but I don't see how that's helping me with timing at all.... I am registered to take December 2014 lsat....should I postpone to February even though some law schools don't accept February score? I have to applying for fall 2015...

I noticed a common challenge for me is Keeping Track of UnUsed Game Pieces when I'm doing specific game setups.

IE I've filled in the pieces based on the question - then I may have a few left over but it can be time consuming checking and crossing out the ones I used to find the ones I didn't for each set up...

Does anyone have tips for this? Is it just taking the time to write out all pieces and cross out the used ones in order to save time and mistakes in the long run?

Is there anything more effective?

So the following question type:

Which one of the following statements is most supported by the information above?

Is that an MSS question or a strengthen question?

And what about these two inference questions? What question type to they fit into?

1. Which one of the following can be properly inferred from the information above?

2. Which one of the following inferences conforms most closely to the philosopher's position?

A lot of people seem to suggest this, but JY doesn't during the question review videos. Do you feel it's worth it or is it a major time suck?

Should I read all the answer choices on lsat? My main problem is timing and I feel like reading the other answer choices when I already have one in mind Is time consuming. I took prep course with Testmasters, they said I should read everything

Hey guys so I was doing question 4, LR2 preptest 25.

In this question the premise was

a->b->c

and then it concluded c->a

So the correct FMOR answer was

"the argument ignore the facto that some c's may not appreciate a's.

so c -some- a/

Is this a rule that can be applied to all conditional logic? A->B always can also mean B -some- A/?

A bit confused thanks. Hope this all made sense.

I was curious to know if anyone has any official understanding of the process behind applying to schools when you're taking the December LSAT.

I have taken the September LSAT and retaking in December - Should i wait until the day after i take the test to send my applications? Or can they be sent earlier, while they wait for my December LSAT grades?

Do all schools ensure you that they will not view your application until the December LSAT is submitted?

any clarification would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys,

I have a quick question for those who have ordered prep tests from Lsac.org. If I order a prep test from Lsac.org, is the test mailed to me or is there an option where I can download it unto my computer and print it out?

Could someone please try to explain this to me. I feel so stupid getting tripped up on this one.

HI!

OK.

So I paid for this course. I went to it, it was great. Supplemented with this, I have no complaints.

They offer this Thursday and next Thursday an "in class" "exam situation" where you can bring a prep test and write in an exam environment with a timed proctor, much like the real exam.

I KNOW that this would be beneficial.

However, I'm wondering.. if I should do it, and here is why:

I wake up at 3:30 AM everyday, so by the time 6:00 PM comes around I'm a dead human being. I am aiming for the range of 160-170 for my exam because anything over a 160 is perfect for the university I am applying for. I have been sitting in the 160+ range for the past month. However, I took a practice test last Tuesday at 6:00 PM and scored a 157. I could literally feel myself missing questions because I was trying to get it done, more so then focusing. I was exhausted.

Should I go to the exam situation tonight? I know it would help me with the jitters a bit, but if I write a prep test and score high 150s again, after all my progress into the 160s, it might hurt my confidence a bit, you know?

Alternatively, next Thursday, they do offer it again and I've taken the day off. Would it better for me to go then, after getting a lot of sleep, then to go tonight? Should I go to both?

Opinions, PLEASE!

Thanks :)

So on PT 's with experimentals I avg around a 154 because i get to 18 questions per section. When i finish the exam during blind review i get in the 170's. Not sure if i can improve my timing by december...Anyone have advice on what to do?

Hi fellow 7 sagers!

I have been taking PTs with JY's proctor video. I have found that I reached the 30 minute mark a few minutes earlier than a stopwatch that I was using, so I thought there must be something wrong with the stopwatch. I started to use my cell phone, but I was surprised to hear the "You have 5 minutes left" message approximately 5 minutes too soon. So today I used a web site that shows the current time around the world down to the seconds and is known to be quite accurate. And.......again the video call the 30 minute mark approximately 25 minutes in.

Am I crazy here??? Did anybody else have a similar experience?

Me and a student were studying when we got a bit confused over when to negate the sufficient. Consider these two examples:

If you are a rabbit you are white.

R->W

No rabbit is white.

is it /R->W or R-> / W

I feel like the second one explains If you are a rabbit you are not white and the first one says no rabbit is white. Can somebody for the last time explain when the sufficient gets negated and when the necessary? something concrete to remember would be much appreciated, I know this might sounds basic but after awhile you just get confused...

Hi guys, I've been a member of 7sage for over a year, and am taking the test December 6th. I have found that I really enjoy watching "inspirational" videos. I recently found one I found particularly nice and helpful. I am going to post it here. I particularly like the part at the beginning talking about the illusion of "perfect timing" for "great moments." Additionally, there is a part that mentions an African proverb which says, " If there is no enemy inside, then no enemy from without can cause harm." The video also talks about facing uncertainty, etc. Anyway, maybe it will help another out there preparing for the test on Dec. 6. Also, please add to this post things of this nature. I think it would be really nice to have a post of things like this. Some people may find the video cheesy, but anyways, I really like it. Good luck, guys.

Hey, everyone!

I've been averaging a 155/156 on my most recent LSAT PTs and I was wondering if there was anything I could do to bump it up to a 160 before the Dec. LSAT. I know 4-5 points is a lot to jump in 2 weeks, but I'm willing to to work hard, and no life it to reach a consistent 159/160. Anyway, if you have any suggestions let me know!

Hey,

I was happy earlier this week. I scored my highest scores of 165, a 165 again, and then a 168. My Blind review was also great, somewhere in the 170's. I only missed questions that JY was claiming were curve breaker on the LR. I just don't perform well on Reading Comprehension in general, but I did do slightly better on these tests. Basically, I was happy with my score and feeling confident for the Dec. 6th test.

Now I've taken two tests the past 2 days and scored a 159 and 160. I didn't get perfect logic game on either and my I am just missing more LR than I have been. My RC doesn't do me any favors either, but it never does. I'm glad that I still have time to make corrections, but still my confidence is slightly shaken after 2 disappointing tests. I really want to score that 167+ on test day.

Am I just taking too many tests close together? That wasn't a problem with those 165/168 tests... but did it just catch up to me finally? The thing I fear is that the later tests are harder. I feel like the LG section in particular is harder starting with #53.

My game plan now is to review today and tomorrow any patterns of the last two tests and go for another simulated test Saturday.

Any comments would be appreciated.

I am now taking PTS and my scores havent improved from my cold diagnostic. (Well, Logic Games has improved a little, but Reading Comprehension has gone down)... in fact, the scores are lower..

The thing is, when i do Blind Review, it goes incredibly fast, and I do very well, especially with Logical Reasoning. I clearly see what is the correct answer.

So, does anyone have this experience? is it test anxiety?

Hello my name is Amina, I am a Virginia State University May '14 grad, I'm looking to take the Dec '14 LSAT so I can enroll in Law School for Aug '15. I am in desperate need of a study partner, I need to work on my logical reasoning and increase my speed on the logic games. Please respond if interested or if you know someone that may be interested! Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I've finished my own studying and reviewing of LSAT concepts and am now starting PrepTests. I'm hoping to do around 30-35 tests (however long that may take) in order to improve my score from my diagnostic, which was in the 140s. I was wondering if people had any suggestions on which tests to start with and where to go from there.

Thanks!

Finally took Preptest 73 today -- had been nervous about what would be the 'closest link' to the December LSAT,

But why was I expecting something enormously different from any other preptest? I was surprised to find that Preptest 73 is really like any other preptest....But you know what? I shouldn't have been surprised!

There truly are patterns inherent to the LSAT & Preptest 73 isn't particularly special, and there is no reason to think Preptest 74 (or the December LSAT) should be particularly special either.

Our weaknesses are laid out in similar ways on each test -- and we just need to keep tackling them.

Throughout preptest reviews, we may notice specific connections amongst questions' content in various tests (like the repeated discussion of the QWERTY keyboard). And Preptest 73 is no different -- Section 2, Q14 repeats the same idea of space exploration linked to unexpected technology benefits as Preptest 59, Section 3, Q18 while Section 4, Q3 repeats the same idea of sunblock vs. incidences of skin cancer repeated in other tests, including Preptest 62, Section 2, Q5.

The LG section is just as non-special as the other sections. And I had psych-ed myself out into thinking maybe a game was very unusual. I was wrong.

I'm not saying Preptest 73 wasn't difficult... every Preptest is difficult! But none of them is particularly special.

Things may *feel* different because we *expect* them to be different. But we should NOT psych ourselves out too much. Yes, there may be a few unusual bits in each preptest, but the December test should be seen for what it is: just another ol' preptest!
