Hi, My name is Jo and I'm from Southern California. Lots of people had questions about a Sunday Skype session so I hope this post will clarify things.

I would like to go over PT #32 with an emphasis on the LR sections of the test. #32 has a good mix of LR questions. If everyone picks 2 or 3 questions that they had a hard time on, (assuming overlap) there should be around 10-15 questions to discuss.

There is room left for 3, maybe 4 more people and I would like to keep the score range in the 155-160+ range.

If you are interested, you can either email me: jwongemologist@gmail.com or you can message me on forum. Please include Score Range, where you are from, any prep test material you've done, and when you expect to take the LSAT.

Thanks for reading; if you have any additional questions, feel free to either post here or message me.

I'm gearing up for the September 2014 test. Wondering if anyone in Orange County would like to meet up to study on weekdays after 6PM or on weekends.

Hi all,

I'm gearing up for the September 2014 test. Wondering if anyone in Orange County would like to meet up on weekdays after 6PM or on weekends.

Hey everyone,

I am scheduled to write the LSAT on September 27th. So far I have saved PT's 62-72 till the testing date drew closer. However, my question is at what point should we dig into these tests? Right now I have to use the test during the 2nd/3rd week of September. Leaving the week of the actual LSAT to a few older (maybe previously taken or partially used) PT's. This way I can get a good understanding from the newer ones. Is this the right way of going about it? I did not want to use some of the newer ones during the actual week of the real LSAT, as my thoughts are I won't be able to gain as much from them since they are so close to the actual date?

I am curious to know what others are doing/what they intend to do with the most recent PT's.

I figured out a way to cover learning all the Logic Games types, by using only 5 PrepTests (56, 57, 58, 60 and 61). This pretty much covers all the game types, except for the super rare ones. I choose these 5 PTs in particular because these are considered newer and more reflective of the current LSATs. Yet, I can avoid burning any of the newest PTs (62-71). And the last reason is that I can purchase all these LSATs in a single book. This would be the “10 New Actual, Official LSAT PrepTest” 52-61.

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!

None of the videos in the Advanced Logic section work. Is anyone else having this problem?

What does everyone think is the best method to study for the LSAT? Specifically, I am wondering if I should approach it by studying one area at a time or all areas together. What I mean by this is whether to study only logic games for a few weeks until I feel comfortable with them, then moving on to the other areas of the exam one by one. Or, would it be better to just study a little bit of every area at the same time? I hope my question makes sense.

Once I saw JY says if you are preparing LSAT, then you are single, or you will be soon.

And I just laughed at the joke..and it did happen..

I am OK for most time of the day but would be really upset for like 1-2 hours per day...

Just wondering how many of you have a similar experience? How do you guys pull through that?

Any comment will be helpful. Thanks!

Is anyone in the area studying for the September test and looking for a study partner? I took the June test but I think I am going to retake it in September and I'd like somebody that I can take tests, study, and keep motivated with. :) I live nearish Tyson's Corner for reference.

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!

When I first started studying, I used to get through the LR sections with 3-5 minutes extra at the end to go over my mistakes. I'm not sure why, but for the last month I've been reading much more slowly and have barely been able to finish a section. Usually, I don't have time to read all the answers for the last one or two questions before running out of time. Does anyone have advice to increase speed without giving up accuracy?

Can someone please explain briefly the differences of these three LR question types and how we should approach each type? Just a brief, helpful, cheatsheet type of explanation would be great. Thanks!!

I've been following the chronological order of PTs set out in the 7Sage syllabus in preparation for the September exam. So far, I've written PTs 36-46 with an average score of 174. However, I've seen a number of comments on the forum suggesting that the newer PTs (60+) are significantly harder than the older ones, particularly when it comes to LR. With this in mind, I'm considering alternating between newer and older PTs to ensure that my scores aren't being distorted by easier tests.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Will using up newer PTs now hurt me as test day approaches?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all!

Forgive me if this has been mentioned in the past but does anyone know of a one place you can visit to see info about deadlines and class profiles for US and Canadian schools? I'm about to go make giant excel document but figured I'd ask if anyone knows if this information has already been collected somewhere out there on the good old web!

Thanks! Happy studying!

:)

Haha. I had a nightmare that I only completed the LR sections on test day and completely forgot to do the LG and RC sections. Oiy! -___-

Hi all. I took three practices tests in an LSAT prep book but the tests were not identified. I tried reaching out to the publisher but I haven't heard back. Any thoughts on how I can identify these exams? I want to enter the scores into the analyzer.

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...

Looking for a study partner. I've been studying for quite sometime and this will be my first sitting for the test. Will be going hard until test day.Let me know if interested!

I live in Indiana

I've been using a book classifying LR questions from PrepTest 1-20 into different types but found the questions in it are a bit tough and different from recent LR questions. Is it still useful to get practice from these questions? I mean, by how much?

Any thoughts on this?

What do you guys think?

I just need some clarification now how NOT (A--->B) turns into A and /B.

This question is more for JY and the administrators of 7sage:

I was curious whether or not the Custom Schedule option has an automatic generating feature that customizes the schedule according to my LSAT Analytics weaknesses and mistakes?

For example If I have 600 Flaw questions that need improvement, 5 Weaken questions that need improvement, and let's say a majority of Sequencing questions that need improvement, does the Custom Schedule take this into account so I am not spending more time on Weaken questions when i should be focusing on Flaw questions?

This sort of option will really come in as time winds down to test date.

I’ve heard so many times that the LSAT is a test of pattern recognition. Some people define pattern recognition as anticipating or pre-phrasing answers. There are only so many possible wrong answers for each of the question types. Studying for the LSAT is similar to learning how to play chess. After a while, you can anticipate what moves your opponent will likely make.

What does pattern recognition look like for you?
