If you're interested please respond. I'd like to have someone with whom I can study with (my LSAT is still low and I'd like to improve), and bounce ideas off of each other so we can crush the LSAT haha.

Did anyone check out the "Bruce" voice in the 7sage proctor app? If not, I would definitely recommend that you do... :)

I always identify the premises in my head and bracket the conclusion. Should I be actually circling subjects/predicates and noting where context ends/argument begins as well?

Since I have been barely finishing the LR sections in the allotted time, and get a little stressed toward the end of the section when the questions tend to get longer and/or harder, I may try starting at the end of the section. Thankfully, I still have time to practice, increase my speed and abandon this strategy if it doesn't work for me. I am just curious about whether anyone else has tried it or wants to chime in with reasons why this might be a bad idea?

Sorry if this post doesn't belong in this category because it's about law school applications. I currently am in the process of getting my letters of recommendation from professors. Does anyone know if there is a limit on how many letters of rec you can enter into the LSAC account? I want to get more than four letters and send different ones to different schools I am applying. I would also rather get more than four in case one professor will not finish in time and delay me from applying early. Also, what is everyone's opinion on the LSAC evaluation forms? I'm leaning on not using them as they could potentially hurt my application... I know a letter of rec can only say good things about me, but an evaluation form could say something negative.

When you complete a practice test are you supposed to circle the questions that require blind review during the test? Or after the test is completed. Lately, I have just completed tests, rested, then came back and completed the entire test over again without time pressure. I think that's what blind review is, but something in my gut tells me it is wrong.

I started off by doing all of the assignments online and I was just annotating the PDF's and taking notes. Then I got frustrated because I wasn't doing as well as I had hoped, so I started printing off LG sets and PT's. 900 pages later, I think I singlehandedly killed the environment, but my scores have increased substantially. Maybe this is a mental block, but I really perform much better when I can scribble all over the thing. Suggestions? I really don't want to kill all the trees.

PS I am recycling the paper when I am done.

I chose A and after watching the video I can understand why A is misleading. However, when I was reading the answer choices and considering B, I thought “Why assume that Proto-Indo-European is one of the languages that lack words for prominent elements of the environment of their speakers?”

Another question I had was whether or not the possibility of Proto-Indo-European being a language that lacks words for prominent elements of the environment of their speakers weakens the argument. I think that this possibility does not weaken the argument, i.e. does nothing, because we just don't know if Proto-Indo-European is one of those languages or not. Thoughts?

Help please :)

Anyone interested in a Study Partner please reply.

I feel like I am going to have a lot of jitters

And if so, could you make any recommendations? Thinking of looking into consulting but it's very expensive! All this work however, along with LSAT/law school fees, may make it a wise (and comparatively moderate) investment.

Hi all,

I am looking to form a small group of people interested in taking at least one practice test a week until the upcoming LSAT under actual conditions. I already have a few people involved but would love to get a few more on board. Not sure on exactly where we will meet up but we can decide that as a group. Hope to hear from some of you!

Best Regards and good luck

I scored 166 in June after PTing around 171-175 and am aiming for 173 in September. I'm usually fairly even on a section-by-section basis so I am looking to improve in all areas. I emailed J.Y. asking for tips to improve on a retake and he suggested a study buddy, so comment or send me a message if you're interested!

Why do the February LSAT's not become available as PT's?

What techniques do you guys use to figure out whether a particular question that is NA requires a bridge or a block? I tend to use the negation test almost always and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Hello! Looking for a study buddy in the NYC area... Lmk if you're interested by emailing tnisbett65@gmail.com

Hey guys so I used 7sage here to help me reach my goal of 163 on June LSAT with 4 weeks of studying. I crammed the LSAT in that time, crunching PT 50-71 and doing the entire course with Power LR/RC bible. With that being said I under performed on this LSAT to my PTs, going -14 on RC. Any advice on how to prepare for a September retake? Anything under 170 really won't help me very much either.

Q25 Answer Choice (D) states "Draws a conclusion about a specific belief based on responses to queries about two different specific beliefs."

What does it mean exactly?

And why is it a wrong answer?

Help please!

Message me if you would like to join!

We are planning to meet this Sunday, July 6th from 11am-1pm PST. This will likely become a weekly study group (depending on how the first session goes), and we will refine our schedule according to the group's strengths and weaknesses. The plan is to emphasize group discussion and teaching each other (which JY heavily emphasizes as well - the best way to make sure you really understand something is to be able to explain it to someone else) as we go over PT questions.

I would like to keep the group small and we already have a few people interested. But, comment here or message me if you are interested and we will try it out this week!

Will they do it before September so that we can use this to prepare for the September test? Many thanks!

Hey everyone! I've been studying to take the September LSAT and to apply to law schools for the Fall of 2015. I haven't started any apps yet or really done much research (obviously I need to get on this). I have emailed some former professors about rec letters, but I am just hoping to get some helpful advice on where to start in this process. I feel like there is so much to do and I'm overwhelmed! Also, how many schools is everyone applying to? Just curious. Any feedback is welcomed.

Thanks!

Hi,

I am retaking the LSAT after scoring below my average on my PT's. I am looking to score at least a 164 on the September test. I am looking for a study buddy to review exam questions with and see where each of us used flawed reasoning in selecting answers. If you live near Columbus or would like to meet online weekly to review PT's please comment on this message or email me! omegaday1500@gmail.com. Let's get to work!

Let me preface this by saying that I know my advice (if I can even call it that) won't apply to all nor will my situation mirror all, but I just wanted to share my experience for those who will eventually struggle with the decision to cancel.

I took the June 2014 LSAT, felt I did poorly on a RC that most people felt was easy, and then had two LG and struggled on both. Going in my average was a 171 but the day before the test I had gotten a 166 on a PT. When I left I thought my realistic scenario for a score was a 166-168. By the time I got home I had started to worry about everything though (smudges, skipped questions, and even whether I had done an entire section wrong by accidentally skipping one bubble). I didn't cancel but I've been reading posts from other who mentioned cancelling scores they felt were going to turn out similar to mine.

For the last three nights, I have had nightmares about botching entire sections and bombing the whole test. I had basically resigned myself to accept the low score I thought I knew I was going to get, and to make sure to cancel on my next test if it felt it was going similarly. As you might have guessed, I ended up doing well (actually a personal best at 176). My advice to others thinking about cancelling or struggling with similar anxiety is to not take someone else's analysis of their of their test and (even subconsciously) apply it to your own. The waiting period is bound to make you question yourself, and in some cases a cancellation might make sense. However, I suspect that for a large number of cancellations, fear and anxiety rob someone of what would have been a perfectly acceptable score. Just a positive experience from not cancelling that I thought I'd share.

Congratulations to everyone who took the June 2014 LSAT! I sincerely hope that you all get the scores you want.

I, on the other hand, opened my email a few minutes ago and was disappointed to see that my score was far below the PT average I had during the last few weeks of studying, which means I'll be retaking in September. Unfortunately, I only have 7 untouched practice tests left so I'm unsure of what it will look like to study for a retake. Does anyone have any experience with this or plan to do this for September? Just not sure when/how to start studying again so any advice is appreciated!

Hey I just took PT 49 - just a heads up...

On the first page of Section 4 (LR) it says 22 questions. This messed up my timing a bit.
