Hi! Have noticed a trend among some of my recent wrong answers, wondering if anyone has any insights into this. Twice in one LR drill, I got the question wrong because I was unwilling to equivocate two terms. Ex: The stimulus was talking about “a new trend in the writing of history”, and the correct AC used the term “interpretation” to mean the said new trend. Again in that same section I missed a question talking about “experience” in the stimulus, with the correct AC using the word “expertise” instead.
The first question was a MSS, and the second a PSA… both rated as lower difficulty levels. The correct ACs were the ones I had originally been drawn to on both, but steered away from due to not wanting to falsely equivocate different terms! Any insight into this or advice would be very helpful!
These questions both came from PT127.S3, questions 3 and 15
Sometimes I have a hard time understanding what the answer choice is saying. For example, on Method Reasoning questions, I understand what X is doing, but have a hard time formulating the words into LSAT words/answer choices. Does anyone know a good way to solve this issue?
Anybody shoot June, 2014?
Hi guys! So I spent the summer working through the 7Sage lesson prep and now am at the stage where I just drill PT's and review them. BUT I am a junior in college who is majoring in Finance and a minor in Econ aka a lot of course load. I also am in a frat and want to join an extra finance club but any suggestions on time management? I am thinking about definitely taking a test every friday and reviewing it sat/sunday. Then taking another test on like monday but taking the tuesday-thursday to review it (i.e. in between my classes and when I have a spare hour) granted there will be weeks that I can't get both tests in can I just get advice from anyone else who has had success balancing work/school with LSAT studying? BTW I am taking the LSAT in February of 2014. Any advice would help!!
Has anyone taken the LSAT at LaGuardia Community College and can leave a review?
Hi, I've been trying to avoid using phones or other electronics except for my basic kindle, but now have a problem with proctor since it seems like I can't put mp3 files in the basic Kindles anymore.
Does anybody know of a lsat proctor on audible?
Hi everyone,
I am Leon, a new 7 Sager. Hope everyone did or will do well on the March LSAT!
As the March LSAT just ended here (in Taiwan), I knew I was not fully prepared so will go for a retake. I have some concerns about which 7 sage package I should choose. I am currently around 155-160 and aims for high 160s (yeah a low 170s will be great but I am trying to not give myself too much stress). As my time is ticking and my budget was somewhat limited (I worked full-time while studying LSAT). So I am considering between the basic package and the premium one.
My concern was to what extent the core curriculum was different between these two packages? (LR part only)
When I used the 7 sage schedule planner, the two schedule showed different courses corresponding to my selected package. I thought the starter also cover all the courses and the differences were more about other parts like question crack tips. (My strongest part has been LG (-2 to -4). As to RC, the result of my whole-day internet research suggested that RC was not what most people recommend when they choose 7 sage package. So for now my main focus was about the LR courses in each package.)
Should I manage to go through the LR courses or I should focus on on thorough BR reviews and doing PTs?
On a LR section, I usually got -8 on average with a 2 pt variation. In BR, it's usually about -5 (for I was sometimes overconfident for some type of questions so I even did not notice my lack of skills/understanding on certain easier questions; other times, I missed some basic level questions because I misread the given stimulus.) Thus, I felt my weakness was not on a particular Q type of question (esp. from Q 1-12, my errors were always here and there.) But it was more like an overall LR weakness.
I have finished the bible, manhattan, and the trainer. Also, I made a sheet for my attack plan on each question type. But, somehow the question stimulus can always gave me difficulties and ACs could be really confusing regardless of how much I tried to refine my attack method. I am guess it was because I was not paying enough attention to dissect and REALLY understand each stimulus and its argument types and structure. I want to go thorough all of the 7 sage LR courses, but it might cost me too much time. Then I won't have time to really plow through a good amount of PTs. But I am also not sure about how helpful the LR courses were in helping my LR scores.
Would really appreciate any advice/suggestion since no one I knew studied for LSAT here!
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Seems like I read if you go into public service law, you can get your tuition forgiven.
Does anyone know of any scholarships for public service or legal aid work?

I started studying for the LSAT a week ago. I am taking my LSAT in September. What version would you guys recommend V1 or V2?
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
Hey everyone, I recently wrote a personal statement and I would truly appreciate it if someone could review it for me. Please be very critical when you critique what I have wrote.

Are classes at 6pm pt now no more? It was the perfect schedule for some of us on the westcoast that work 😭
I am planning on taking the October or Novebmer LSAT and looking for 170 score
I took a diagnostic a few weeks ago but haven’t taken any full PTs since then. Right now, I’m only partially through the curriculum, I’ve made some progress in the Logical Reasoning section but haven’t touched Reading Comp yet.
I’m tempted to start taking full-length practice tests to begin building endurance and test-day skills, but I’m also worried it might be too early. I don’t want to waste time on PTs if I’d be better off continuing through the lessons first.
When should I start taking full PTs?
Could also be a group. Hoping to take the June LSAT.

http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-3-section-3-passage-1-questions/
I chose D, but the answer is C.
Doesn't the passage talk about theoretician's perspective about the satellites of asteroids?
I don't know why D is wrong.
Can anyone explain me why D is wrong and C is right?
Please help me.
Thanks!
