Hi! I'd like to make a small 3 person BR group to meet weekly and go over a test together. A friend of mine in the 170's said she did a 3 person BR group where once a week they sat for about 3-4 hours and noted for which questions they had different answers. Afterwards they addressed each question one by one. I'd like to do a BR group in this way and I'm open to other good approaches too!

I'm scoring about 158 - low 160's, I'd like to have 1 member in the mid 160's and 1 member in the 170's or high 160's so we can see the different ways we see questions.

Let's do first come first served in who replies. Thanks!!!

Happy New Years Eve! Id like to give a reading comp tip ive been trying out.

Ive been scoring in the mid-high 160s on the recent tests and low 170s on the older tests and i usually miss around -4 to -7 on RC. I would say most of the time its -5 or -6. On the older RCs I can get anywhere from -3 to -0. Most of the time, Ive been spending quite a lot of time on the passage up front, and going slowly through the questions. This usually leads me to never having sufficient time to answer all questions. Ill usually spend 3 and a half - 4 minutes a passage.

Now, ive been trying to just read as quickly as I can, while spending the absolute MINIMUM amount of time up front. If im not sure what a sentence means, I probably wont read it a second time. Now ill usually spend 3 minutes - 3 and a half minutes on the first read. This is usually against what J.Y and some others recommend. However, I would argue that I can usually get a fairly good understanding of the passage just one quick read through. With that extra time, I think its worth it to then move on to the questions. Spending up to 4 minutes on the passage, for me at least was unneccesary. My tutor Cant Get Right taught me to just believe in myself, and kind of (recklessly) just snap pick an answer and move on. For me, it turns out my intuition was usually right, but that I was getting so fixated on making sure each answer I picked was 100% correct.

Now, with reading the passages faster, answering the questions faster, and trusting myself more, Ill consistently not miss more than 5 on RC. Its usually -3 to -4 now.

If anyone has experimented with RC strategies, please let me know! Id love to hear thoughts. For me, I personally think just spending much less time up front and more time on the questions is better.

Why is E wrong? Doesn’t E also give an alternative reason for why the houses architecture changed?

I've had my Bachelor's degree completed for some time now. However, I came across a program at my local community college that would get me (yet another) Associates Degree (Legal Studies/Paralegal Program) and would also have me officially certified as a paralegal. This actually sounds like a really good idea for me considering my GPA is below a 3.0. I would; 1. Have the opportunity to take all ABA approved courses which, if I excel in them, would look good on my resume for multiple reasons and show that I have interest in the legal profession; 2. Boost my GPA (I assume, considering how LSAC computes your overall GPA); and 3. Become a certified paralegal which, in the long run, might help my employ-ability (maybe, I hope? :D )

Does anybody see any potential reasons why I shouldn't do this? I'm 25, and about 2.5 years removed from my undergrad, but not rushing into law school since I want to make the absolute most out of it and have the ability to get into a wide range of schools. Also, I live in New Jersey, which means that since I don't make enough money annually, I get to take this program for free! :D I feel like given my situation with my sub-par grades, and since I am not in a huge rush to get into law school and can finish the program in a year, I should do this. Any thoughts? Thanks so much!

When I put in my GPA with a below median LSAT, it gives me a higher than 50% chance for a lot of the T14s. However, I rarely ever hear or see people getting in w a below median LSAT... Does GPA matter more than I think?

This is such a silly mistake on my part. During BR over the past several months, I have found that I usually lose track of the "Except" in a Q stem and I end up choosing the wrong answer because I am juggling so much info in my mind, especially if the stimulus has negatives in it.

Most recently I had a problem with a question stem that said: "Each of the following, if true, helps to resolve the apparent paradox above EXCEPT:". I went into the ACs and crossed out the first one I read which also happened to be the correct answer. And then I picked the next one because it resolved the problem. The funny thing is that I went on to read the rest of the ACs and I crossed them out even though they all helped resolve the paradox too. Under the time constraint it just didn't dawn on me that I picked one that functions the same as three others. But in BR I immediately realized what I did wrong.

Does anyone have advice for this dilemma?

Hi. 7 Sage

Thx for the last reply regarding this matter. So anyways, Can JY possibly provide best foot guessing date (Aks: Best approximation date) for finishing up PT 89 Video explanations full version of all three areas for possible LSAT takers in February ?

Thank you

After taking PT 76 on paper, I graded my scores on here. After I grade my pt's, the option to blind review comes up. For this pt, the blind review grading did not come up and it said "save and submit changes". My blind review score came up as the same score as my pt score but I was unable to put in my blind review answers. Any solution?

I wrote my PS about being a minority but i also want to write about being a refugee. Should i write a diversity statement or is it too much?

Hello,

Can anyone help to point out the difference between answer B and D?

Hi all,

Do transcripts live forever on LSAC or do I have to re-submit every cycle i apply?Also, do recs carry over or must be submitted every year? i was going to apply, but decided to take a gap year.

the "Logic Games" category on the sidebar of the iPhone app for me is stuck with descriptions of the different LSAT courses 7sage offers, but I'm already signed into my ultimate+ account. I think this might be related to how the LG videos were removed from youtube. lmk if any of you know how to fix this

What do the scores on top and the percents at the bottom of answer choices reflect? I tried to search for a previous explanation but could not find it.

Thanks in advance.

what does the answer sheet look like ?

I’ve been taking practice LSATs on paper, which just works better for me. Is this allowed? Do I have to use the tablet? How could I request the paper copy?

Hello,

I just noticed that on the real digital LSAT, if a question asks about a particular word/phrase in the passage, it is automatically highlighted for them in the question and in the passage. My 7sage digital tester does not do this. Can 7sage please make this adjustment to their digital tester soon?

Thanks!

I've been prepping on and off again over the past few months in preparation for the July test. It's only recently that I've gotten consistent with studying and have been increasing my hours.

I'm sure some others have also felt this, the disparity between the days that I enjoy lsat prepping and the days that I dread it have exhausted me. To be frank, I feel like I'm never going to get through the core curriculum, even with the % completion increasing every day.

Do any of you have tips for staying motivated or building discipline?

The only thing that has kept me from giving up is knowing what my goals are. Sometimes I'll say them out loud to myself or write them out on paper over and over again. Even if you don't believe in the power of manifestation (I'm not sure I do either) there's a lot of power in remembering what you want out of life.

I would love to know how you guys keep your heads up when the lsats are trying to drag you under.

Best of luck. x

I'm in the process of trying to get my accommodations, yet the process has been taking quite a while now in terms of seeing a psychiatrist that it will be in the next few months. I prefer to take the February test, but If I go in without the accommodation the first time, will I be denied if I retake the LSAT?

Thank you,

Hi everyone,

Is anyone here currently attending UBC law or has gotten accepted for this cycle? This school is my dream school and I would like to talk and get advice from a current student since I am thinking of applying in 2020.

Thank you in advance, I greatly appreciate your time.

Hi,

Does anybody here know why the answer is D and not E?

Admin note: edited title; please use the format of "PT#.S#.Q# - [brief description]"

For this question, I understand why A is the answer, but I do not quite understand exactly why D and E are wrong. After all, in terms of D, couldn't the way in which the field "inevitably" changes as a result of new discoveries be considered a "law of nature"?

In addition, in terms of E, couldn't the "intended outcome" of making new discoveries help explain the situation of "flux"?

I took the LSAT in December 2014 and the score is still on my transcript. According to LSAC, scores five years and older are removed. Can anyone confirm this is true? I am applying this cycle and want to confirm. Thank you

I’ve heard somewhere that one can apply with a request for the school to wait to process your application until the newer score comes out. Is that accurate? Does anyone know which schools allow this if any? Basically, I took the October Lsat and didn’t score anywhere near what I was doing in my PTs. I’ll be rewriting in Feb but most of the schools I want to apply to (T20), have application deadlines before the Feb score releases.

Thank you!

Hi folks and Merry Christmas!

PT 89 has just been released and to make sure the January test takers can get full use of this PT I am hosting a blind review session for PT 89 on zoom at 2pm eastern time. This will cover the first 2 sections of the PT (logic games and LR section 1)

The idea behind a blind review session is that you come prepared having completed the assigned sections and reviewed them yourself without having marked or looked at the answers. You can then let the group know which questions you had difficulties with and we can go through them together. As the facilitator I will then analyze your approach to the questions and give you some advice as to why you perhaps had difficulty with the question and tweaks to improve your approach moving forward.

The videos for this PT are not yet available so if you have questions about this PT and you want definitive answers before the January admission of the LSAT I highly recommend you join!

The link to the meeting is below (it is on zoom)

MICHAEL CINCO is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

I chose (A) but I really don't understand one thing. Can we say 'the highest overall number of viewers' is comparable to 'more leg injuries, on average, than any other athletes'?
