Hi! I'm in Charlotte NC and don't know anyone else applying so would love someone to study with. I plan on taking the test in October 2014.

I live in Birmingham, AL and wondering if anyone else currently taking the course lives nearby! I am currently studying to re-take the LSAT in February. Anyone? lol

Took December LSAT here and it was in an auditorium type setting with small armrest style desks…. Just saying' in case that is a concern for anyone….. Hopefully won't be a necessity but if it is, don't believe I'd take it here again…

Just wanted to know if you guys were planning on doing something similar to this: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/56/nyc-open-bar-post-june-lsat-monday-evening

it would be great to meet JY, Jon, and everyone else that got me through this hell known as the LSATs and buy you a drink (along with any other 7Sagers obviously).

Obviously not everyone is in New York, but for those that are, let's drink away our concerns over our scores!

Anyone else in?

Ugh, I just got an email from LSAC saying that tomorrow's test has been cancelled at my assigned test center (Chemeketa Community College in Salem, OR). I seriously can't believe this! There isn't even snow in the forecast, it's just cold. Is there anyone else here who's affected by this??? The email says "Next week we will contact you by email regarding options, including a make-up administration." I hope this doesn't delay the reporting of my score. I'm already submitting my applications way later than I had intended. :-(

It really helps me understand the concepts of assumption questions by looking at it formally. Could someone check my logic?

So say we have a premise (B->C) and we have the conclusion (A->C) and say we have the two question stems

Question stem 1: Which one of the following, if assumed, ALLOWS the conclusion to be properly drawn?

Question stem 2: Which one of the following assumptions is REQUIRED for the conclusion to be properly drawn?

For question stem 1, we're looking for a sufficient assumption. Is that just saying something like

___ (and) (B->C) -> (A->C)

so in this case (A->B) would be the obvious sufficient assumption that fills the blank?

For question stem 2, we're looking for the necessary assumption. Is that saying

(B->C) (and) (A->C) -> ___

where the necessary assumption fills in the blank? Something about this doesn't seem quite right.

Looking for study buddy, shooting for 170 range. Msg me if you are around too :)

We're going to dominate this test!

Anyone have the link? I remember wanting to watch it later but I cant seem to find the link.. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys,

Just wondering what people think about the final 2 week stretch. How much should someone study during this time? I definitely want to get in a couple PTs over thanksgiving break. My latest and highest score was 165, I've slowly been creeping up through the 160s and I'd like to keep going (goal is 170). But I also don't want to break the trend and then get nerves. Suggestions?

Hey guys,

I am noticing that during my practice tests this week as the test gets closer that I am losing focus my mind is wandering to thoughts such as "holy shit the test is in 4 days, I better score well on this practice" etc. Thoughts that throw me off my concentration. Is anyone else having this problem and any advice to regain focus?

Thanks everyone and good luck Saturday!

Charlotte

Wednesday-Break apart PT 69 and 70 and do as individual sections. (review heavily wrong answers)

Thursday- Take prep test 65 (4 sections).

Friday-Dont do nothing all day...

Hi!

I missed a precious point (and wasted a lot of time) because I did not translate "could be false EXCEPT" properly (It means MBT). I believe JY has a posting where he details these type of translations. Would a 7Sager be kind enough to either point me to that post or provide a list/summary with the correct translations for these type of questions. I just can't find the post in the syllabus.

Thank you very much!

Please read every single word:

http://www.lsac.org/jd/lsat/day-of-test

LSAC is fascist with their rules.

Seeing as how you're all reading every word of the rules straight from the LSAC, what I'm about to yell will be redundant, but what the hell.

LEAVE YOUR CELLPHONE AT HOME.

People get kicked out for bringing their cell phones to the testing center like idiots. I've seen it happen. Many other students have seen it happen. Don't be that guy.

I just took PT68, I usually get 17-20 q correct on Reading comp, however, my RC score fell to 10 correct!

The reading comprehension passage felt very tricky, I could not even get one MP question right! Any advice how to get back on track with exams in the late 60's

when is it acceptable to not study, or keep studying? should I take 2 or 1 day off before the test, what does everyone else plan on doing? I been studying crazy for the past two month, about to take it for the first time next week, to be honest,paul walker's death affected me a lil bit. It sounds weird cause I don't really follow celebrities like that, but his death...man life comes and goes and it's so fragile. And here I am thinking LSAT is the most important thing in the world, It shouldn't be...

willing to pay to use just this week, prefer to buy.

Of course you are. You're about to take an important test. It's not the most important test though. That one you will be taking in February.

Just kidding. This is likely the last LSAT you'll ever take.

I'm only trying to remind you that for something this important, there are second chances. That's not true for a lot of other important things in life, so that's something to feel good about.

For most of you, you already know what score you'll get. Take your past three recent (e.g., 68, 69, 70) properly administered LSAT Prep Tests and average your score. You'll get plus or minus 3 points of that average.

You are as prepared as you can be and there is nothing standing between you and that score. You've already seen everything they'll throw at you and you've amply demonstrated your ability to respond. Saturday will not be new day and the December 2013 LSAT will not be a new LSAT. It will only be "LSAT Prep Test 71" which will be just like PT 70 and PT 69 and PT 68 and so on.

For Saturday, remember this: keep moving.

You've met curve breaker questions before. Every LSAT has them. Every student who has ever taken the LSAT before you has encountered them. You will encounter them again on Saturday. I'm telling you this now, so you'll be prepared. Skip those difficult questions. Don't let a couple questions break your rhythm.

Just keep moving.

You got this.

I scored 165 of PT 68 today, and I got -10 on games. This is so frustrating. I just can't seem to break through. The instruction is great, and I drill the games all the time, I just get so thrown off when I see something new and unfamiliar on a fresh PT. Is there ANYTHING I can do over the next six days to fix this? Any strategy to at least minimize the damage?

Hi,

I was wondering about the approaches people take to diagramming.

Personally, I kind of start diagramming as I read. If the setup is pretty straightforward, I would write the game pieces and slots/board down when I reach them. But sometimes it's unclear which is optimum to use as pieces/board. I find that typically it is not crucial; rather a matter of preference. Often, I just go with what I have down already. (I'm only talking about cases when it doesn't appear essential.)

Although I probably won't be switching it up in the final few days, I'm curious to know how others approach this.

Thanks

anyone want to study with me? Adrienna 818-987-9900

Hi all,

I just wanted to let you know that StrategyPrep in DC offers free in-person live proctored LSATs on select Saturdays in Washington, DC. It is limited to 1 free test per person, but seems like a good idea for your last or 2nd to last PT before the real LSAT. You get to choose any test from PT39 to the present, and it's a 5-section test.

http://strategyprep.com/tools/practice-lsat.php

However, in my humble opinion, they have NOTHING on 7Sage in terms of LSAT prep! Seriously, who does?

A live proctored test could be a good freebie though. I'll report back if I try it.
