I am looking for a dedicated study buddy in Orange County Area.

I live around Irvine, and am prepping for September 2014 test.

Anyone who would like to join me, please let me know!

Is there anyone in LA (koreatown area) studying for the Sept 2014 LSAT? I could really use a study buddy. I work full-time, so evenings or weekends work best for me. Shoot me a message if you're down to study with me!

So my question is about Step 5 "Watch the explanation video." and Step 6 "Take a clean copy of the game.

Reproduce all inferences from memory with control and speed. "

Should I be repeating the game right after watching the video? Trying to reproduce all inferences from memory?

If so, I feel like a complete fool :) I've been watching the videos right after a game I feel I haven't mastered, then waiting a day before I try the game again...And well that hasn't gotten me to where I want to be, so I rewatched the video and I'm thinking I could have been doing it wrong this whole time...

Hey guys, Alan just made this neat chart to help you figure out what GPA / LSAT score you need for your target law school.

Rule of thumb is to get above 50 percentile in both GPA and LSAT to have a realistic shot and above 75 percentile to have a good shot.

Copying game boards used to stress me out a little bit because of the numbering. Every time I copied a game board (which could be 4 or 5 or even 8 times possibly?) I knew I needed to copy over the numbering (1 2 3 4 5 6 beneath the spaces), but found it very time consuming. My way around that is 1. using roman numerals instead of numbers. They are a lot quicker. 2. only marking slots 3 and 5. I borrowed this from the guitar fretboard, where only select frets are marked. You are told which is the 3rd and 5th fret, and from that it's plain to see which is the 2nd and 4th etc. This made copying game boards just a LITTLE bit faster, which made logic games just a LITTLE bit less stressful.

Efficiency 8-)

This might be a dumb question, but if you are blind reviewing do you time yourself when you are redoing questions? Also, are you erasing/making a copy of questions so that your previous work is not there? Finally, do you blind review entire tests sometimes? or are you are only to BR the questions you marked, got wrong,etc?

Thank you in advance for the assistance :D

Thanks JY... You've made me into a causation theory nerd. -_-

Hi everyone!

The grammar section helps me a lot.

However, since I can’t post the real LSAT sentences, if I have trouble deconstructing a sentence I read, where or how can I raise my questions at 7 sage? or Is it allowable to post one or two sentences?

Any comment or suggestion is welcomed.

Thank you.

Hi all,

Aidin Again, I have been studying LSAT using 7sage for few months now and I have noticed many comments regarding HOW to use this website. Do you take notes when the lessons are being taught? Which pages should you print out and which ones just go over on the screen? What information between hundreds of hours of video is note worthy? How do you access the big picture spider web looking master chart J.Y. always pulls out that no one gets access to ? If anybody has a good idea about what is the most effective way to use all this useful material to our advantage without being confused please SHARE!

J.Y. has repeatedly told us not to erase in the LG section but to cross out, especially when we are making our game board.

I'm a notorious eraser and wanted to know why its bad to erase?

Does this take up more time for me? I don't want to cross out bc I'm nervous I will look at what I had crossed out under pressure.

The erasing thing has been bugging me all week and wanted to know why we should erase what so ever.

Hey everyone,

So today I wrote PT 65, and I was a writing the second LR section, I thought to myself that it seemed considerably harder than usual. I was just wondering if anyone else thought that? The first LR for PT 65 I went -6, but the second section nailed me and I went -11. I felt like a lot of the answers were very difficult to read and understand (more than usual) and that a lot of the answers were very difficult to distinguish between two answer choices. Clearly I need to work on my LR, but looking to see if it was just a fluke and that it was reasonably more difficult or if I really do need to improve THAT much more.

http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-47-section-1-question-24/

This is what I don't understand how answer B can be eliminated, "the manufacturer's instructions for assembling a product should be written in such a way that most CONSUMERS would find it much easier to put the product together" answer choice B says that someone OTHER than the consumer will assemble it for them, therefore, the suggestion does not apply because the consumer themselves do not have to assemble the product, so weather the instructions change or not the subject of the argument is not affected and therefore irrelevant, making answer B ideal. Am I over analyzing this too much or what?

help me obi-wan, your my only hope...

I've completed all of the coursework and having been taking my prep tests consistently for the past 8 weeks along with Blind Review, but it seems I have hit a peak. I have been consistently scoring in the 158-162 range (with blind review at 170), but I can't seem to take that next step. Any suggestions?

There's no particular question type that I struggle with, and on average I'm missing the same amount of questions on each section of each prep test. RC is my main weakness.

Hi all, just hoping for some of your opinions. I have lots of preptests already (all up to #62) and I am wondering if these are enough to practise off or should I ignore these and purchase "newer" tests? Theres not a lot of time left before June and I would like to study as effectively as possible and I can't do all of them, at most I think I could do 10-12.

What are you doing?

=D THANKS

How would you make it more simple to understand? I took me 5 minutes just to figure out all those negations. Preptest 51, Section 3, Question 23.

Just wondering guys do you take notes, as you go along the lessons, or do you just solely concentrate on lesson itself and if needed just re-read/-re-watch it?

Hi!

So there are 23 days left until the June LSAT.

I have been scoring around 160-165 on PTs.

Do you think this website will help me raise my score 5+ points? I'm not sure if an investment in the online class is worth it if it won't help increase my score significantly.

Thank you!

For four months now, I have been drilling logic games heavily, printing out ten copies, redoing them over and over again.....But although I did improve (went from a minus 16 to a minus 10), I stopped improving after the first month of drilling logic games. I still average a minus 10....so frustrating.

One thing I've been wondering is, do you have to be good at math (or at least have a knack for math) to ace this game? I've sucked at math for the longest time, and when practicing the LSAT logic games I can't help but think back to when I was in the 9th grade and I was looking at a mathematical word problem going blank while everyone else was gettin' it....

So now I've changed my strategy. Not only do I print out 10 copies, redoing them ten times each, but I also spend some time analyzing them, taking notes on how the rules interact with each other and what inferences I should have made from them, playing around with the game board by rearranging the rules etc...

So how long did it take you guys to finally perfect the logic games section? Please tell me I have hope...

I am starting to have difficulty finding old tests to use as practice tests. Suggestions on where to find tests?

Sooo I'm writing the June LSAT here in just over 3 weeks. Prep has been going well enough for my aims (164) or so. For the past few weeks I was writing LR getting 3-5 questions wrong under timed conditions. This was okay for me as my reading comp and logic games as stronger scoring anyway. But for the last 3 prep tests under timed conditions I have scored 17-19 on the logic games everytime. I've been able to stay in the 160s (barley). But that's thanks to some great scores in the other 2 sections, scores I'm not sure I can count on on test day. So now what do I do, I almost feel like I'm over thinking LR at this point and starting to psyche myself out. Not good. Any tips would be great.

can you please put up a list of circular games, i know there are not many, but trying to avoid another February shocker!

...is my theme song for this test. To me, it represents the struggle to achieve a difficult goal.

The main theme permeates the whole piece (ya know, dun dun dun DUUUUN..... dun dun dun DUUUUUUN).

The piece seems to travel between two emotional climates. On one hand, a dark cloud of confusion and pessimism, and on the other hand, clarity and optimism.

That mirrors my experience in preparing for this test so well, that I have been listening to it over and over again. It reminds me that even in my moments of despair or confusion, there will eventually be an ensuing revelation, or a 'light at the end of the tunnel.'

As the piece goes on, the lows get lower and the highs get higher, until the piece ends in a magnificent triumph over obstacle. It really helps me put my moments of self-doubt in context.

I am using this piece to trigger the habit that my brain craves, to get me in the right mind set for the test by repetitively associating my LSAT journey with the 5th. I am going to listen to it as the last thing I do before the test as a warm-up.

Does anyone else have some sort of music that they go to for inspiration or courage?

Here's a link to Dudamel conducting the first movement of the 5th:

Hi everyone!

How do you guys approach Reading Comprehension and what improvements have you seen on that section? Last month I did well on it, scoring 24/27 a couple times in a timed full test. Last 2 or 3 times I did a full 4 or 5 section timed test, I scored -8 or -9 on RC, which is bad enough. But just now, I did 2 timed readings (cause I fell asleep in the middle of the reading the third passage), and I got like 3/7 on each LOL. WTF is happening?! I know being tired is a factor, but I was fully awake during the first passage I read, and then the third one about osmoregulation killed me. help :(
