I want to practice more LR questions, but I haven't started the PTs yet. I'm worried that if I make custom PSs and they're questions from PTs then when I start taking PTs, my score might not be accurate because I might've already been exposed to some of the questions. So I'm trying to figure out if the PS questions are the same as some of the PT questions. Thank you!

I'm on the MSS section in Logical Reasoning and so far I've just been going straight through and doing all the practice sets. However, I'm wondering if it's best to move on to a new section and then come back to the problem sets after a while to solidify the knowledge? I'm getting pretty much all of them right, and I don't want to blow through it in a day and then forget it all as soon as I move on to another section, but I don't know if the order it's designed in is the best way to go. Let me know what y'all think!

Hello everyone. I'm looking for a private tutor who has gone through the 7Sage course to help refine my logic games skills. I've been studying for 8 months and plan on taking the April 2021 exam. I'm looking for someone who can devote an hour a week to help me prepare and give tips/tricks on how to study and improve my score in this section. The only requirements are that LG is your strongest section and you have tutored in the past (given on how close the exam is, I really need someone with experience who can make the most out of my time). Message me your rates/availably and we can go from there!

Though I'm inconsistent on each section, LG has consistently been my weakest section. For the past 2 weeks, I've more or less just been hammering logic games. I took PT 82 yesterday to reassess where I am and if drilling logic games has helped. It seems like it has! My logic game score is higher than it's been in a while and it was actually my strongest section (-4). However, this still isn't translating into any meaningful difference in terms of my overall score and getting to by goal of169+ because when I get better at LG, I get worse at RC and LR and vice versa. My score yesterday was 163, which is less than 2 points higher than my average. Just wondering if anyone has any advice?

What does Columbia Law School's "approximately two pages in length" mean? Currently putting sentences to address the "why you're interested in Columbia in particular" component of the personal statement.

I'm assuming 2.3 pages is about the limit right, like 2 and a half pages is definitely too much?

Hi everyone!

I was curious if anyone else struggles with this. I constantly miss between 2 and 4 on games, but almost always my misses are from the generally easier questions.

Case in point, I did PT 88's LG section and got all of questions for the last 2 games correct (both rated 5 of 5 difficulty, and includes the notorious flower game), but missed a whooping 7 questions on the first 2 games (rated a 1 of 5 and 3 of 5). This is a notoriously hard games section, so I wasn't surprised to miss so many but I can't believe they were all from the easier games.

I feel like this comes from being able to get the key inferences on hard games, but freezing on the more open ended games? I really am at a loss of what to do.

Has anyone experienced this? If anyone has recommendations on getting through this, I would really appreciate it! I've been fool proofing for a while now and nothing seems to help.

I've been trying to link my Prep Plus account to 7sage for a while - I used the PrepPlus account on a different 7sage account before and just need to link it to the one I'm currently using. The link I got in my email to link my 7sage account isn't linking me properly, it's just redirecting me to my LawHub page. I've tried to link on both Safari and Google Chrome but it's not working.

I've been on here so long that I'm not sure if any of my study buddies are still here, but I will share some things I learned, in case it's helpful. I decided more than 3 years ago to go to law school to pursue a second career. (Note: Make sure you're not deciding IF you want to go to law school, but that you ARE going, before you even start the LSAT process.) My diagnostic was 148 and after studying with Powerscore, I scored a 152. Enter Loophole, Trainer and the entire 7Sage course (more helpful than all of the books), and I still NEVER scored above a 155. Was I working full-time as a managing editor? Yes. Did I score way higher on the PTs? Yes. Did it hurt me that I did too many PTs (quality over quantity, folks) and sometimes gave myself extra time on them? Definitely! Don't do that! As awesome as I was at the Games after I'd already done them once, the anxiety around facing fresh Games on each real test was just too overwhelming. That's where I lost points every time. But the reported score is all that matters. Except it's not! What matters is that I learned not to obsess. I'm passionate and diligent about studying, but it almost took over my entire life, and then I simply didn't let it. And I had so many luxuries: plenty of time, a master's in journalism, mad years of work experience (15) and a decent GPA (3.7). I also had the support group that this Forum provided me. I also workshopped my essays for a whole year. And if you're in any situation remotely similar, I highly recommend the Unlimited Admissions help on here. It has been a tremendous help, every step of the way (in fact, we're still not done). It's worth every penny. It really is true that you're more than your score, and here's proof (in reverse order of how much I wanted to attend):

Rutgers - Accepted ($$)

Temple - Accepted

GMU - who knows, who cares at this point

Loyola (LA) - who knows, who cares at this point

BC - WL - giving up my spot

UConn - Accepted ($)

St. John's - Accepted

GW - WL - giving up my spot

BU - Rejected

Brooklyn - Accepted ($$)

NYU - Rejected

Columbia - hasn't got around to rejecting me, but I'm not delusional

Fordham - WL (not quite giving up my spot yet just in case something crazy happens)

Cardozo - ACCEPTED YESTERDAY ($) and starting in May

Trust 7Sage. Get some experience. Get the highest score you can on this beast, but don't obsess. Don't let it take over your life. Take care of yourself. Do your research. Cast a wide net. Follow the wise words of Dean David Martinidez: “Do your own version of ranking specific to what is important to you. Why? ... Be passionate and pursue passions. Let us know how our school will benefit by admitting you."

I am having trouble understanding why AC B is the correct answer and why AC C is not the correct answer. They both seem to weaken the argument to me. I can see that AC B directly cracks at the premise of how bird nesting for first timers are less successful than older birds and also less successful than they themselves are a year later. Why is AC C not expressing the same idea?

Can somebody please explain to me why AC E is correct? I got the question right just based on process of elimination, but I am not convinced as to why it is particularly the correct answer.

I understood the stimulus as the observatory director starting out with a reason why some may object to the development of the megatelescope. Then proceeding to justify its worthiness by saying that had it not been for that "research," the world would have been deprived of beneficial applications from these eminent scientists.

The part I don't understand about AC E in particular is, "worthy of comparison with that of eminent scientists." What comparison?

Something is really bothering me about this question, but it's not integral to getting it correct. If deceit is a quality of rottenness, that means that rottenness implies deceit, not the other way around. Which means that the first part of the argument isn't valid at all.

effective politicians must be deceitful, but that doesn't mean that they must be rotten. The conditional chain only sets off if deceit --> rottenness. For example, if sweetness is a quality of fruit, that means fruit --> sweet. If something is sweet, you can't say for sure that it's fruit.

Anyway... the question stem makes it kind of seem like it's valid which I think is why this is bugging me.

Hey you all! I am wondering what you guys are doing for studying. I am almost done with the Logic Games lessons and I am curious whether or not I should be doing practice test in between lessons or should I finish the Course first before taking practice tests? Let me know what has helped you!

Hi All - I'm looking for a paid tutor to do a few sessions with prior to the Feb 2021 LSAT. I didn't get the test score I would have like in January and feel like I'm stuck getting the same scores again and again on PTs with an equal amount of questions missed in each section more often than not.

A few hours with a LSAT expert feels needed at this point. Any recommendations you have would be greatly appreciated!

I have started to study since 2020 March. One preptest a day, 6 days a week most of the times. Got 163 in the first exam, but failed at second and third one 160-161. The weird thing is I usually get 170+ in preptest. You may say that is because you have done the same test set so many times. So I tried those new, that I have never done before, and I still get high 160s and 170+. I think the time management is the problem. I didn't even get to finish RC this time especially. As far as i remember the actual test day, I always spend last 5 mins for the last passage left, which is surely one of the reasons for the big disjunction between preptest score and actual score. So I am now trying to use some other tools and methods to improve myself. Any advice?
