Nothing I can do about it now except cry silent tears. The person's first name is missing a letter (so Wayne is now Waye). I'm hoping no one notices.

Lesson to others - CHECK EVERYTHING IN LSAC ACCOUNT. Proofread EVERYWHERE, not just your essays. (sigh)

So, I scored a 146 on my november LSAT with about three weeks of intense prep. Obviously the score is crap and I plan to retake the LSAT with a target score of 165. I took some time off from studying and started studying intensely about 6 weeks ago with plans to take the March LSAT. My highest PT so far is a 152 and I have about 45 more days of studying. I would ideally like to start law school in the fall. Should I cancel my March LSAT registration and plan on taking the June LSAT instead OR can I make that much of a jump from 152-165 in 6 weeks? Perhaps I could get a private tutor and nail it in 45 days. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi 7sagers!

I've been placed on the Reserve group for Columbia Law a few days ago. I wrote a LOCI and was wondering if anyone would care to take a look/edit both the substance and format as this is my first time writing one. Please let me know and I'll PM you the letter. Thanks so much! :)

How should I be reviewing logical reasoning questions? I find that just reading the explanation doesn’t seem to help me much? I also go over the questions I am not sure about by reading forums but it hasn’t worked out well

How should I prepare for the lsat? I need some kind of in person interaction, but do not have the funds for private tutoring. I know this is 7sage’s forum, but are there specific courses people could recommend? I tried blueprint and it didn’t work out

Can anyone help explain to me what EXACTLY you are supposed to do on each step of the BR method.

This is my second time going through the CC, the first time I didn't use the BR method because I didn't fully understand what I was doing.

Also, can this method be used when doing quizzes, drilling problem sets, and doing untimed pts?

When should I start using this method?

Hey 7sagers,

I am interested in looking into getting a tutor for the LSAT. Before I do so, I was wondering if you have gotten an LSAT tutor, how have your experiences be? What areas did you use them to help you in? How have they helped you improve your mark?

For me I am looking into getting a Tutor for LR & RC, study plans, etc.

Any stories, tips and info are recommended.

I’m looking for someone who lives relatively near Rowland heights California who is willing to meet with me at the local library to study at least once a week. Im also willing to commute to Orange County if necessary. I’m scoring in the low 160’s so would like someone scoring in the high 160’s or 170?

I’m specific about the score requirement because I have studied with someone who has the same score as I had and we had the same questions

Hi, I'm looking for a study buddy in the riverside/moreno valley area. Taking the LSAT in March.

Hi.

I am taking March LSAT and would like to have a study buddy. I am in Dallas - TX and open to online and in-person.

#help I have improved my score since starting 7sage but Sufficient Assumption questions give me a lot of trouble. They are my worst question type by far and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how they approach these questions. If anyone could offer advice or their strategy that would be amazing! Thank you!

I'm wondering if I should upgrade to Ultimate+. Here's my dilemma:

I have PDF's of each question type (with questions from PT 1-35) and they're arranged by difficulty from a previous tutor which is super convenient. The only thing is that I find it extremely helpful to be able to go back and watch J.Y's videos after BR or if I'm having difficulty with a question. Also, I find it hard to organize/make my own 'problem sets'. I feel like I just have multiple running lists of problem types I should be doing with different difficulties but have trouble keeping track of them. I should also mention that I have every PT from 39+ available as well for when I start PTing.

Is it worth it to spend the extra money to upgrade to Ultimate+ given my circumstances?

If I were to upgrade to Ultimate+, how should I go about doing the problem sets? Do you do all of them after each lesson or save the harder ones for later/review?

I read a post last year about one student who scored in 150s and successfully transferred to CCN. I did not bookmark the post (s/he said something about the new school that does not have transfer stigma and etc).

In the post, s/he mentioned that s/he did something intensive preparation before law school and talked about a few books and supplements s/he used.

I know people are against intensive preparation before law school. But I am an international student (did BA/MA in the U.S. though) and nervous about law school.

I have a not-very-demanding-tutor job and want to read some books besides GTM or Planet LS.

Anyone who happens to remember the post?

Hey,

I am looking for a study buddy. I live in Connecticut around Storrs area. I finished my CC. I currently work on PT 1-36 drills. Looking for someone who wants to put in 15+ hours a week.

Let me know or direct message. Thanks!

Let me know if you’re in the Bay Area and would love to study? I’m having such a hard time with the LR section!!

I'm retaking the LSAT after a year of putting it on the shelf. I self-studied the first time mainly through the Powerscore books, but wasn't satisfied with my score, so I'm taking a year to do it again, this time through a 7sage prep course. If anyone is in OC and would be down to get together every now and then to study, let me know! Or even if you're not, but are open to hashing out questions online.

Hi all,

So I'm drilling a lot of LR timed sections using early PTs (10-20s) because I've kind of burned through the 40s and 50s repeatedly and I want to save the 60s onwards for full, fresh tests. Other than the two for one question-stimulus questions, I feel like once or so per section there's a misc. question stem (e.g. 13.4.17, 13.2.25).

I was just wondering, how common are these misc. question stems in the newest tests? I've done a few PTs in the 60s and 70s and remember there being fill in the blank questions, but nothing quite like this? I was just wondering whether or not these have made a comeback in any way, or if I should just ignore them.

My second question for high scorers in LR, what is your mindset like while taking a section? Currently, I'm experimenting with the balance between making myself go faster/stay on task, and staying calm enough to process everything yet not go too slow. Do you guys tend to lean in either direction? I know it's personal, but just curious.

Thanks!

Hello, everyone. I am studying heavily for the LSAT and want to link up with anyone else who is gunning for the June 3rd exam. My ultimate goal right now is to attend the most prestigious school I can get into, and what I am really hoping to do is connect with even just one person who shares this mentality. It is less important for me what that school is for you, and more important that you are studying for the LSAT with that goal in mind. I know there are many reasons to attend law school and many reasons NOT to adhere to the logic I list above when pursuing law school. Regardless, for my own reasons, this is my mentality approaching school and is the mentality I am seeking to develop in community with any others who share it. I appreciate everyone's respect of that.

In my mind, our meetings would be less about studying itself and more about just getting together once a week (or however many times) at a public location (coffee shop, restaurant, etc) to discuss our situations and connect over shared goals. I would be open to taking full, timed PTs on weekends together, but really I am just looking for some accountability and competition.

About me: 22-24 yo, 1-2 years of post grad work experience, attended liberal arts college in the NE.

I've been looking at this question for the last 20 minutes, watched the JY's explanation, and looked through the comments. Still have no idea what is going on. Can someone help explain it to me?

Thank you!

Has anyone or is anyone taking the March exam at Lehigh? I wanted to go and take a PT there but no one seems to know anything about the lsat. Anyway, they told me that there is no place for me to take a PT but she didn't seem quite sure herself. If anyone has any info on the test center can you share your experience?

Hey guys, can someone give their own explanation regarding how they arrive at the correct answer for this one?

For me, it is clear why A, D, and E are wrong, but I got hung up between B and C. I choose B both during the actual PT and during BR.

I initially chose B because it seems that it can be true given the information in the stimulus. While the stimulus states (in short) that is it unlikely individuals can adequately provide funding and the necessary skills, the unlikeliness of those possibilities does not seem to eliminate the possibility that some founders are adequate at providing both funding and skills.

After seeing that the answer is C, I was able to justify (somewhat) why B is incorrect. While some founders could be adequate at both funding and skills, it is not necessary. It also seems to contradict the stimulus because if some members can have both the adequate funding and skills, then you can challenge that having a group is more likely to be successful v. an individual.

Any other explanations on how to arrive to C? I am having a difficult time articulating exactly why C is correct without simply eliminating the other four ACs.

Hi everyone! I feel like I heard someone mention in the comments or maybe in the 7sage podcast that there is a way to foolproof LR, but I can't remember where I heard that or how to do it. Does anyone have any ideas?

Name That Fallacy!

(name as many as you like & feel free to add more!)

Is there a pdf sheet with answers to games from 1-35 (foolproofing) Instead of looking at each explanation, is there a way I can look at a sheet to see if I got the correct answer?

Does anyone know if you send in a signature of intent to registrar, but sign up for the June test to help with waitlists and scholarship negotiation, would that be a problem? I know schools have different policies, but I am imagining that signing up for the June test wouldn't be some violation or get an admittance retracted.

I seem to have a good grasp on these, getting them down to the last 2 possible answers-85% of the time choosing the right answer. But, in my opinion, for more than 75% of the correct answers they never tend to be the comparative answers. Is it safe to say that majority of the time the answers are NOT comparative, unless the subject within the statement has a comparison?
