I was wondering if being an international applicant helps? I see that being URM helps a lot, but what about internationals?

Hey,

Before confirming for CAS, Step 1 is to "Enter Institutions Attended," and one of the fields requires you to enter in your email address. When I start applying for schools, would that email address be shown to them?

I am going to have a more professional email (IE: First and Last name) address on my resume, but the one that I have under CAS is my gmail one. (It is nothing embarrassing, like the one that Gronk (Patriots' TE) used to have, which is chickslayer69@yahoo.com)

Thanks!

My analytics say I need help in these areas. I would greatly appreciate any advise about how to approach these questions or how to best use 7sage to study in these areas. Thanks!

I don't really know what's wrong with me, but after finishing my final exam for my summer class today, I decided to do a section of RC, lol. Yesterday, I took a section of LR from PT 55, so I figured it made sense that if I were to do another section, it should also be from PT 55 (I've decided to sacrificed this one long ago).

Here are some thoughts and reflection from multiple attempts at RC to get a perfect score from an English major ... (take it with a grain of salt, maybe the terrible heat finally triggered something in me, IDK.)

0) it might be possible

TRUST YOURSELF!! This is something I so deeply struggle with on the LSAT. But if there are any fellow English majors out there, or any avid/good readers, trust yourself! I can't tell you how many times I've second-guessed myself and went with a very attractive and popular wrong answer instead. This has happened to me on BR, too (overthinking is definitely a thing on the LSAT), and on the real thing, where I change an originally correct answer to a wrong one. If you're a good reader (and you know if you are, so keep telling yourself that), I want to say your intuition is likely going to be correct. For me, like the metaphor JY uses, there was a "little spark" in my understanding that was correct, and that led me to choose the right answer, but my self-doubt and extraneous (to passage) anxious thoughts extinguishes those little blooming sparks under timed conditions.

Sometimes, you don't even have to waste time thinking through a lot of the answer choices to get to the right one. I think this especially applies to method and purpose questions (but definitely NOT parallel/analogy questions). This kind of goes with #1 and especially applies if you have a prephrase. This saves a LOT of time. You can always go through the wrong answer choices on BR and critique them and find what's wrong with them, but you probably won't have time on the real thing to do this for some questions.

When I first started using JY's methods of low to high res/memory method, I struggled a bit and saw my score drop, mostly because a lot of the times I was thinking, "are you kidding? I can read. I'm an English major!" But I kept doing it (per some redditor's advice I think), started with writing out the low-reses during testing, and then eventually not having to write things down, just reviewing in my head what I read/what the author is saying after each paragraph. Another thing I found really helpful for me was to highlight the transition words, instead of sentences/things that are more related to substance. I had trouble with keeping up with both a substance- and structure-low-reses at the same time, so I found this method (highlighting transition words) to be very helpful. It eases up the amount of things you have to keep in your head, giving you visual cues just like the diagrams you draw in LG do.

Overall, the most important thing is to keep a positive mindset and keep affirming yourself with all that you are and all that you've accomplished in your LSAT journey so far! Don't let a stupid LSAT writer trick you into thinking you were wrong. I think it's a very delicate thing to know/figure out where you actually have no idea what the right answer is, versus where you do know or have an inkling. When it's the latter, go with your "intuition." (I put scare quotes around intuition because it's not really all intuition--you've read and understood the passage.)

If there are any scorers who do extremely well on RC, please give your two cents, too! I would love to hear what you think.

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!

Is back and forth dialog acceptable in a personal statement? If so should it be formatted as normal dialog?

I live in the Chicagoland area. I am planning to take the December or February LSAT. I want to pace myself through all the lessons and take one practice test each week. If anyone is interested in studying the same way, I would like to bounce ideas back-n-forth. Skype would be ideal.

Thanks,

Can someone please explain to me, when it comes to General Theory, Specific Theory, Guided Application and Problem sets. Where can I go on the CC to learned these fundamentals. Thank You!

Hi I am studying for the Dec test and wondering if there's anyone wants to study and discuss questions together. We can meet in a library or the meeting room in my building. My location is close to Bloor&Yonge. Lets study together!

Anyone interested in joining our study group. Let me know.

This is not a test.

Sitting for the October exam this weekend but will be retaking in December. Looking for a few people to study and blind review together in person or via Skype. A little about where I'm at, drilled all LR and LG from1-38. Took PT 39-45 and 55-60 averaging around 167-172.

Hello 7sage warriors.

I've posted in a different discussion with regard to my recent troubles on putting the 7sage curriculum into practise however, I would like to hear some thoughts on whether or not some type of different strategy would help.

Basically, I am shooting for the Oct. LSAT date (and a 138 ->160*ish improvement) so I can hopefully enrol into 1L for next 2016. I have the rest of the summer left with no large distractions (taking 1 summer class twice a week); have put in already 1 month worth of the curriculum (33% of ult. complete) at roughly 5-8 hours a day. Long story short, I have ups and downs, correct answers and misses throughout the lessons, yet when it comes to the PS I find myself struggling to complete these and really gain any confidence in my skills and abilities.

As far as scheduling, as stated I go MON-SUN and study for as long as possible (or until I get to the point of negativity and frustration emerge) and I take a break, or take a day off, workout, etc. I have been writing detailed notes on many of the problem types, and have done most of the PS scheduled in the curriculum (the changeover kind of messed me up, but I've done most of them). I am also just starting the Logic games portion of the LSAT Trainer, and have been doing at least 1 lesson a day of that for the past 2 weeks.

Some of you have messaged me with support and advice, and I'd like to thank those who have taken the time. With that being said, I am starting to acknowledge that perhaps this will take me a little bit more time than others to fully grasp some of these strategies and problem types; should I continue on in the curriculum with these troubles in mind, finish the curriculum, and then go back for a round 2 so to speak? Should I schedule my day's in smaller blocks of studying? Have other's felt this sort of 'quick-sand' feeling, where, after a month - no concrete or tangible improvements have been acknowledged?

As I said, I've got work-ethic on my side and I'm not going to quit... but damn would I love to see some improvements or signs of skill building. Thanks,

Matthew

did anyone start a February study group yet ?

:)

For question 17, I can't differentiate between D and E. For question 18, I got the correct answer via POE, but I don't know what "merely in a matter of degree" means in answer choice C. Can someone translate what that is talking about? Does it mean "quantitatively?" That seems like a weird definition.

Question 17 essentially wants us to support Maritain using something in Passage A. In Passage B, Maritain thinks that animal communication is a conditional reflex and not conscious intent.

Answer D: I see how this answer supports him. Calling causes females to approach and males to retreat. There is no evidence that the frogs do it in order to rely the calling frog's desire/intent to mate nor influence the other frog's behavior. This seems to suggest it is pretty reflexive.

Answer E: But, doesn't this equally support Maritain? The primates don't adjust their call depending on who is there/rely knowledge. Thus, there appears to be no goal/conscious intent either. Doesn't this also suggest that the primate coos and calls as a reflex when it sees food or predators, respectively?

Hello friends!

I'm planning to start studying for my LSATs around mid to end of June for the October lsat. Is anyone in the area that's down to be study buddies? Message me if so and let's get the motivation rolling! :)

Heyy guys, anyone in the Houston area, studying for June/Sept willing to meet up for practice preptest or study sessions. I am have a difficult time staying motivated, I NEED A BUDDY/BUDDIES.

Hi,

So this question is really hard in my opinion-- I have been looking at this problem for quite a while and I still can't see why A is correct. Can anyone explain why A was correct here?

Thanks!

Best regards

So I just finished the exam. Got two LGs - LRs were ok - and was killed by RC. Anyone else out yet?

I’m currently at 151, is it possible to get to 160 for September test?

Inbox me if interested * Brooklyn Latina*

I'm bad at writing my resume, and I don't think it's a natural skill at all. I don't think I'm unique in this way. Anyway, I did find a great resource called Creddle which is FREE. Don't worry I'm not an affiliate! It helps you organize, and format your resume. Even better it pulls from your LinkedIn so you don't have to compile it from scratch. It helped me create my first decent (fingers crossed) resume ever. It has a cover letter section too. If anyone has any questions about using it feel free to PM me since I've gotten pretty comfortable with it. Hope it helps. :)
