I came across a rule I'm not used to diagramming in PT 85 Game 1, and was curious if any of you have come up with a clever shorthand. I ended up coming up with one on the spot, but I think it led me to make an otherwise avoidable mistake on what should have been a straightforward game.

There are at least two slots separating H and S, but H and S are interchangeable in order. (JY used H _ _ S with a small "LL2") symbol in a switching box, but he himself called it somewhat clumsy.) When I did this game the first time around, I ended up forgetting that 2 slots was a minimum and not exact. Perhaps there's a way to make this rule clearer in the diagram and less of an afterthought?

Another more general diagramming question, not from PT 85: Values are not consecutive. I've always represented consecutive as (AB) and nonconsecutive as (AB) but find this leaves something to be desired in terms of clarity. Any and all suggestions are much appreciated!

So I'm on the MSS lessons, and I didn't really do the drilling questions timed, i just did them and then went back and BR-ed them. Should I start doing the drills timed or is it better to take my time with them and save the "timed" part for the PTs?

Hi All,

To quickly summarize:

I applied to law schools last year with a162 LSAT score, and a strong resume of federal government and political work. I got into most schools I applied to, receiving 50% - 70% scholarships from every school I got into.

I decided to decline all of my acceptances. I work as a political consultant for progressive candidates and campaigns around the country, and I felt that I needed to stay working in the campaign world for one more year. When I told my company I was leaving for law school, they gave me a huge promotion, which included allowing me to oversee all of the national political projects and campaigns that our company was working on. I was/am in a unique position to help candidates I support get elected, and causes I care about get brought to the national conversation. I'm glad I stayed. It's been the right decision.

That being said, I am reapplying because I want to keep my options open, and my doors open, just in case.

Clearly I feel that my applications and essays were very strong, as they resulted in me getting solid scholarships to the schools I wanted to go to.

My question is this: do you guys think I can re-use my personal statement and/or optional essays? How much do you I need to change? They personal statement was very strong and it worked out for me very well. I'd prefer not to have to change it, but I could see why that may look bad to an admissions committee.

Would REALLY value your thoughts here!

Thanks!

Slogged on LSAT for a long time many years ago on PAPER and took it on paper. Had a tough time even on paper with 35 min time.

I hear it's now changed to DIGITAL.

Can't imagine how much worse it gets on DIGITAL.

Those who have seen both and did 99% percentile score, how bad or good is the new format?

Were you scoring the same on Paper vs Digital?

I'm really confused between A and D too and can't still understand why A is wrong.

I chose A. The reason why I thought D was wrong is "widely accepted theory" part. The author said it has "gradually" won accepted (Line 20) rather than widely accepted. I think gradually accepted and widely accepted are totally different.

So how is it possible D is the right answer?

And why is A wrong?

Please someone enlighten me.

Thanks!

Hi all-

I am looking for a study buddy- someone to keep me motivated, on point, and someone to go over practice tests with at least once a week as well as share methods and tips. Mostly though, for encouragement. I am fine with either online and in person! Message me if you are interested please :)

Correct me if I am wrong in my explanation. I am not sure about my explanations for "B" and "D"

*The kind of question this is:* Weaken

*CTX:* Post office must be replaced with a larger one.

*Premise(s):*

• The present one cannot be replaced.

• Land near the present (center of town) location is more expensive.

• Cost of acquiring a site is a significant part of the total construction cost.

*Conclusion:* Post office can be built more cheaply on the outskirts of town.

*What I am looking for:* A reason, that outweighs the burden of cost, in favour of the office to being built near the present (center of town) location, rather than on the outskirts.

*Answer A:* No. That is just information. Irrelevant. The building code is not a stated obstacle.

*Answer B:* Yes. The office on the outskirts will need a parking lot that is more expensive than not having one.

*Answer C:* No. That’s an issue that the new post office would not need to worry about. It is not mentioned how this would be a problem.

*Answer D:* No. So what if they have to deliver mail to home. The mail will still arrive to the costumers. The post office on the outskirts will still be in business.

*Answer E:* No. That’s not a problem. That’s just the process that will be taken to build the office in the center of town.

I am just in my week 2 of the cc and its super frustrating to basically BR every single example video only to get it wrong. So instead of focusing on the negative, I am trying to stay positive and understand that I am just starting out and there is more room for improvement. Does anyone have any uplifting stories that basically parallel being bad at the cc in the beginning but crushing it on the test date?

I am trying to understand how to tackle reading comprehension blind review and practice drills for radical improvement. I do understand how the memory method is supposed to work as a process but I need to prioritize or do something. I find myself alternating with speed reading and not fully connecting referential phrasing dots to meet the 3 (mostly ends up being 4 1/2 minted still) then getting a poor understanding of the passage overall. Or reading for clarity as J.Y. does in explanation videos, trying to mimic real-time imagination strategies , then killing more time. Both resulting in about 10 to 13 minutes per passage. Which one do I prioritize? Should I focus on better reading then time will automatically fall in line with confidence? Or am I missing the point altogether? #help Pleaseee. Thank you in advance.

Split screen support would be really helpful for tablet users.

My eyes are getting too much exercise from reading 1/32 inches letters on my goodnotes.

Im drilling between preptests and I have been "drilling" but instead of doing new questions i focus on all the question types I have done in my previous preptests. Has anyone else done this before? Is it effective? or should I focus on material I havent seen before from earlier preptests? or both

Hi everyone.

I have a quick question - I am incredibly bad at MBT and SA questions. When I come across them, I sort of freak out and try and figure out the logic in the stimulus and end up getting the question wrong and wasting a bunch of time. Does anyone have any tips at getting better at these? I've been trying to drill them for the last couple of days and I still can't figure out how to get the logic mapping done correctly nor quickly.

Hi everyone :). I would really appreciate some advice on the LR section of the LSAT. I have studied the LR section of the exam through 7 sage+ LSAT trainer. I have recently done around 5 sections untimed sections from multiple tests. I have been scoring around 15-16/25-26. I would really like to increase that score. I am wiring the exam in October and I want to get around 21-22 questions right under timed conditions. I was planning to keep doing full sections after sections till my score increases, and then time myself. I am also making sure that I read the explanation for why I am getting the questions wrong. I wanted some advice. Should I continue to do individual sections ? Or should I review the LR curriculum again ?

Thank You :)

Hi there!

So I finally started getting to all four a couple of weeks ago, which was really exciting for me (I'll do a write up on the 7sage forum posts that made that possible for me after Sat). What I've noticed in this last week however is, that I'm not getting to the last two or so questions (sometimes). I'm wondering if that's because of my policy of saving the comparative passage for last? There's no particular reason for it, it was something a fellow 7 sager mentioned he did because they gave him trouble and so I tried it out (though I haven't noticed the same issue in my takes). Sometimes I do it last because the comparative has fewer questions than the remaining passage (less point potential), but sometimes I just do it automatically rather than waste time thinking about it mid test, and I've almost been too afraid of losing the progress I've made to try the other way (I know, it's not something I should be afraid of and yet). Problem is, sometimes I get to the last passage with not much more than 5 min left. Maybe 6.5 or so. So I wanted to ask what you all thought. If I did the comparative passage earlier, do you think I would be able to get to more questions?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knew of some legal studies or law related masters programs/certificate programs off the top of their heads? Since I'm writing the LSAT in June now and won't be able have my score added to my applications for this year, I'm looking for something to do during the year instead of just waiting around for my acceptances to come. I've got a really great resume with some awesome extracurriculars and work experience already. I would highly prefer for the program to be in a distance studies format (online)! Any suggestions would be more than appreciated.

So far all I've come up with is this: http://www.extension.harvard.edu/degrees-programs/master-liberal-arts/fields-concentration/legal-studies

Hi everyone,

Been on 7Sage since earlier this summer and have gone through the coursework. Now I'm working on PrepTests. I have access through PrepTest 55 and plan on upgrading to get access to the full PrepTest library.

I've seen people comment on how the LSAT changes over time - usually to get more difficult and ensure the curve. Anyone have a general timeline of the step changes, e.g. Preptests 55-68 are one level of difficulty (usually LG), but then Preptests 69 onward jump it up a notch in the RC section, etc?

Sorry if this is a duplicate post.

Is there a summary of all of the different question types for LR that briefly explains the strategy for handling each of them? I am not opposed to putting one together myself, but if there is already one available, well then that saves me some time!! Thank you.

So i have the premium pack now, but i will take the test on September which will be digital. So i want to upgrade to ultimate which has up to PT 71. However, is ultimate+ worth it since it has the latest PTs? or there isn't much difference between ultimate and ultimate+?

Hey everyone, I've been noticing in PTs that my second LR section score is significantly lower than the first LR section. Has anyone else had this issue? How did you get past it? Unfortunately, I feel like I mentally check out by the time I get to the second LR section because I just want it to be over with. Any advice would be greatly appreciated because it's really bringing my PT scores down.

I have worked abroad for the last decade and my undergraduate and master's degrees were attained far in past. I think Moses wasn't shaving yet when I got my MA. I am not deterred by the notion of having my LOR translated, but I do worry about the authors' facility with LSAC's English-only website.

If anyone knows about the step-by-step process for uploading LOR, I would like to translate it. I have asked LSAC for the same with screen shots, but am preemptively asking here in case they come up gor nisht.

Of course, in the event that LSAC comes through, then all of your birthdays will have come at once and I'll be the one doling out the multilingual screen shots.

Thanks in advance? You're welcome in advance? To be concluded...

Since the unlimited editing has been out of stock for a while are you able to purchase the one time editing and repurchase it for each draft of your essay?

Would anyone be interested in swapping personal statements? I finished my first draft and am too close to my essay at this point to move forward on it.

I did the LSAT in January and I have a huge stack of unmarked printed questions (all sections) that I didn't get to during my test preparation. About 200-300 pages in total. I am based in Glassell Park and if anybody in the North East LA area would like them I can drop off or leave on my front porch. Apologies to the moderators if this posting is not allowed.

I've been really trying to study LG for the Jan LSAT. The problem I'm having is that I understand the rules but I diagram the rules/inferences different then JY, thus I get questions wrong or questions take me forever to do. For example on Preptest 5 Game, I wrote the classes down and distributed the grades. While JY in his video did the opposite. If I use JY's diagram, every question goes by extremely fast. How can I get better at diagramming games that I am seeing for the very first time?
