Any tips to improve reading comp??

LR I'm averaging 40/50, LG 20/25, but my Reading Comp is around 12/25 which is really lowering my overall score.

Hey All,

I'm in the PT and drill phase of my LSAT journey and find myself needing guidance on personal specifics. Would any seasoned LSAT warriors themselves (or those who know of such fabled warriors) PM me and help out?

Any and all help is appreciated and I will do what I can in return.

Anybody want to form a study group here in los angeles/the valley? couldnt find a post, so decided to make one

Anyone have a comprehensive list which they use to review/drill which question type is an argument we must look for vs not an argument...etc

Hey y'all, is anyone in Philly looking to study together/create a study group? I'm planning on taking the June 2015 exam, I've been studying for about 3 months with the LSAT Trainer and just started the 7sage program. I am happy to share the Trainer and compare methods. Let me know if you are in the area and want to meet up and study/review/discuss either the test in general or specific questions and PTs. Good luck to everyone!

Hi everyone,

I'm tired of downloading and printing out each file, don't know why but it takes forever to download each PT.

Is there a giant compiled PT so I can just download it overnight and print out all at once?

Thank you.

Hello,

If there is anyone on 7sage that has applied to American law schools as a Canadian student coming from a Canadian university could you please give any insight as to the process. I am mainly interested in the GPA calculations. My GPA calculated by OLSAS is ~3.92 but under LSAC it is around 3.54. Any insight is much appreciated!

Hi everyone,

Would anyone be interested in swapping personal statements for feedback?

I really would like some motivations and have this opportunity to share some ideas for LSAT and applications. Let me know!

Our panel of law school admissions deans convene for their November panel to answer that most eternal of questions—is “optional” really optional and how required is “required”? Touching on Why School X documents, character and fitness explanations, background statements, and more, our panelists will walk you through the ins-and-outs of these documents and will remind you that the most essential truth of a competitive application is “be sure to follow a school’s instructions.”

All that—and more!—in this month’s discussion.

Hey, I'm looking for people to gather for mock testing on Saturday mornings at Gangnam from the end of April. We would gather at a study cafe such as 'Toz' around 8:30, start the exam with the 7sage proctor app at 9:00, and go through with all five sections. Looking for a group of four-ish as the rooms are usually booked in that scope. PM me or comment on this thread!

Title says it all. I live in Canada and 7Sage provides a great ranking system (that also estimates your chances of acceptance) for law schools in the US but none for Canada. Does anyone have more information on Canadian law schools?

Hi,

I'm looking for a dedicated and regular study partner. I want to be able to discuss tricky lsat problems with the partner during the prep and gain from each other's insights. Someone who knows the material well enough to discuss problems and can articulate their reasoning and thought process would be a fit.

My lsat score is 165 but I was PTing much higher in 170s. My target is 174+. RC brings my score down (-6/-9) negating any gains with LG (-0/-1). I'm focusing my efforts on improving RC/LR. I'd be interested to meet weekly for a few hours to discuss challenging issues and prep done during the week.

If interested, let me know and we'll set something up.

Hey all!! Would anyone be interested in reviewing preptests via skype? As of now, I can complete at least two a week and my schedule is flexible. Thanks

Hi guys...I've been wanting to go to law School for years, but I have no motivation to take the LSAT...I took a LSAT Prep course and didn't find it to be of much help...do anyone have tips on how to study for the exam? I'm so ready to get it over with, but I don't know where to start regarding studying.

Would anyone be willing to email me their notes they have from the CC?

Hi everyone! I scored a 158 on the July LSAT with about a month of prep. I'm taking the September LSAT and am seeking a tutor to help bring me into the 160s, willing to pay, let me know if you can help :)

Hi guys, I found this online. I think it is helpful when sometimes there are LSAT vocab we don't understand

http://www.readingfirst.virginia.edu/elibrary_pdfs/Building_Vocabulary.pdf

Danino has expressed dissatisfaction that many genetic studies have attributed the ‘spread of agriculture’ into the subcontinent to migrations. Just to be sure that no one thinks that the practice of agriculture is in the genes, I would like to point out that the spread of the technology of agriculture was associated with the movement of people; agriculturists who took the technology to new regions and taught it to the locals in the new region. Movement of people implies movement of genes. Some migrants ‘export’ their genes to a new region by taking spouses from the new region and producing children with them who stay in the new region. We can never be sure that the attribution of agriculture having been introduced to the Indian subcontinent by migrants is fully true. However, genetic data do support this model, especially of the spread of modern, organized agriculture.

Having said this, I must also emphasize, once again, that collection of more extensive data is always more helpful in understanding our past and of the spread of our inventions and innovations. A Y-chromosomal signature, haplogroup J, was shown to be associated with the spread of modern agriculture. This signature has its highest frequency in the Fertile Crescent region – the region comprising the present-day countries of Syria, Lebanon, Turkey – where the technology of modern agriculture was invented about 7,000–10,000 years ago. Collection of deeper data showed that this signature is quite heterogeneous and is composed of at least four sub-signatures, one of which – haplogroup J2b2 – is confined to the India–Pakistan region.

This sub-signature arose over 13,000 years ago and hence its introduction into India could not have been by migrants who introduced modern agriculture into India. We showed that the haplogroup J2b2 possibly arose in India, because the highest frequency of this haplogroup is found in India. We discovered multiple epicentres of this haplogroup in India and interestingly these epicentres neatly coincided with the seats of introduction of early forms of agriculture in India (as evidenced by the study of fossilized pollen grains by Fuller and his team). It is unlikely that haplogroup J arose independently multiple times in geographically separated places. It probably arose in an ancient population who had spread themselves in geographically separated regions and they invented rudimentary forms of agriculture independently in multiple geographical regions. However, it is notable that these early forms of agriculture remained largely confined to India and Pakistan region.

Question:

Danino believed that genetic studies, which “attributed the ‘spread of agriculture’ into the Indian subcontinent to migrations,” are:

1)incorrect because migrants did not introduce agriculture into the subcontinent.

true because it was indeed migrants who introduced agriculture into the subcontinent.

only partially correct as early forms of agriculture were indigenously developed in the subcontinent.

originally results of expert intuition but later validated by an improved ability to decipher evidence.

Need help in finding POV!

Correct Answer is 3 .

But I find AC 1 more suitable because 1st line of passage "Danino expressed dissatisfaction....."

Hi all, I'm looking for a Skype study buddy that's already consistently scoring a 168+. My scores fluctuate from 166-168, but I was hoping someone with a higher score might be willing to be my study buddy to help me work through some of the tougher RC/LR questions and help get me to the next level and score higher. I know explaining/thinking through questions with someone else helps, so hopefully it'd be beneficial to both of us.

I'm planning on taking the June LSAT (Sept/October at the latest) and was hoping for a Skype chat like once a week on the weekends starting sometime this month, since I'm moving on to solely taking PTs (rather than reviewing course material) starting with PT 44. If anyone is willing, I'd be eternally grateful!! PM me if interested.

Hello all,

I have been intensely looking at the LG explanations for every game since the first LSAT until the most recent one. Is this the best approach to take to get a perfect score on the real test? I feel the upcoming test will largely be just different variables for the same type of game? I really enjoy the explanations that J.Y. gives

Also, I have been looking for Study Guides for the LR and RC. I incorporated the Reading Comp Memorization Method and that seems to be useful. I am trying to improve with LR and I listened to all video explanations for the June 2007 LSAT. Can anyone supply me with these study guides and any advice to improve in LR??

Hi guys,

After finishing the CC and taking a few practice tests, I decided that I'll need to slow down and first drill individual LR question types before diving into more full PTs. I've been using the question bank and doing individual questions timed then leaving one full 35 minute section of JUST that one problem type to do. Afterwards I review the questions. But I still find that I'm struggling and average -8 per section, section of just one problem type that is (which i feel like shouldn't be happening cause I literally did just so many of the SAME question type). I'm wondering how you guys went about this? How did you drill Q types for LR? What helped?

Thanks so much!

Taking in March, would like to do some BR sessions by phone up to the test. Any takers? I'm in the Eastern time zone.

Really need some advice right now...for any you sages out there who had a low gpa but high LSAT- what lessons did you learn and how to switch up your game to prepare for law school and get better grades?
