#help I was wondering what a good number of law schools to apply to would be? I want to be sure I give myself the best chance, but also make sure I am reasonable as it is an expense to submit an application each time. Thanks!

I'm trying to begin the LG foolproofing, and I've seen a bunch of mentions about the LG Bundle. I know it has been taken down, but I have access to the PT's so was thinking of making a custom set to replicate the questions.

However, are there any specific questions / PT's that come later that you all think would be well-worth adding to the first 35 PTs to foolproof? Or should this suffice for now.

Thanks so much!

Hi everyone,

I have the LSAT ultimate+ package and just finished the core curriculum. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with all the materials I have to work with. I know I should foolproof the LG bundle, but after that how do I best utilize all the practice tests I have? Which tests should I use for taking whole practice tests? And which number tests should I use to drill timed or untimed sections?

I'm planning on taking the LSAT in Summer 2020 (most likely in July) which gives me around 9 months of study time.

Thanks for your help!

They've just disappeared. What happened??

My plan is this:

Make a Google Calendar where I log the times I studied that day, as well as a brief description of the key points.

I would love someone to do this with me. Studying alone has been so miserably isolating. This would be a great, non-intrusive way to look at what each other are working on and reach out if we see some extended lapses in studying.

Would love everyone's input and help! I have taken the lsat twice, 148 first, and 153 second. My cum gpa is 3.1, while my major gpa was 3.6. I got into Rutgers and wait-listed at Northeastern last cycle, denied from schools in top 20. I have a strong record of public interest work at a public defenders office, where I've worked since college. Do I reapply early before December (if it would help my chances), improving everything but my LSAT, or wait to January, take the LSAT, and apply at the final deadline (worried with my numbers that this would hurt me)? I work fulltime and need to ensure I have the enough study time to improve over 5 points, and hopefully score in the 160s. Goal schools are BC/BU. Please help!

I am going over the LR flow chart. Step 0 is to idenify the stem, step 1 is read the stimulus, step 2 is asking is there an argument...my question is this... once i complete step 1 and identify the task shouldnt that tell me if an arguement is going to be there? For example: weaken/strengthen/ main point/ etc pretty much anything that is not strongly supported or inference questions are going to be arguements. So if the stem is a MSS or Infernece then i can eliminate step 2, right? Ive never seen a MBT or MSS with a real argument, but then again i havent seen all questions.

Is anybody else finding this to be the case with all of their PT explanation videos? How do I resolve this?

As I am submitting applications, I've been reading and re-reading my essays. I read somewhere about a text to speech app that will read aloud your essays. It has helped me enormously. What my eye reads and what my ear hears is different. I use an app called SpeakLine. It has caught minor but significant errors (eg. statue vs. statute). Just letting you guys know!

What is going with the LR section? I can't see the answer and explanation.. can someone explain this?

So I just got 7Sage, however I've been studying for the LSAT for a few months now off and on. I have taken probably ~17 PTs (most of them being pre PT35) and gone through the powerscore Logic Games book as well the Logical reasoning book (didn't find that helpful).

My question is should I put my Practice Tests on hold until I've completed the Core Curriculum? I've only gone through a few units of it so far, but I'm already changing my strategies and seeing new ways to tackle problems.

It seems like it would be a waste to use some of my practice tests before being as ready as I can be from a strategies stand point.

Any input would be appreciated, Thanks!

Can someone explain why it's c and not Be? I narrowed it to b and c but chose B because Arg doesn't state that Janson was murdered in his office. I'm

Have only taken 1 PT in the 80s. Have taken some in the 70s and they seem slightly harder than the 60s and before that. Is there a difference between 70s and 80s, though?

Im considering buying extra "newer" tests to practice on.

Input appreciated.

Thanks.

I am taking the train into Boston to take the LSAT. Its about an hour way from me. What am I supposed to do with my cell, keys, wallet, etc?? Are there lockers?? I cannot navigate Boston without a cellphone. HELP

I just did a question today where usually = most.

e.g. "Kate usually buy juice on Wednesday" --- Wednesday most buy juice

Can I always translate usually to most? Was this mentioned in the CC?

Hi. because PT 88 LG was so tough, i decided to have every best explanation available possible for obtaining

best possible understanding.

so i bought starter pack (the only one I can afford) plus PT 88 extension last month

BEFORE JY made big announcement of 7 Sage cannot no longer offer such services of LG videos.

but the 7 Sage policy is after November 15, all 7-sage LG videos will be gone unless premium or higher paid users.

would i able to see 7 sage official video explanations at all for LG of PT EXTENSIONS of PT 88 solutions prior to November 15th?

also, what happens to those people who bought starter pack like my situation, who bought before JY made an announcement with extension of each Prep Test? would LG for purchased PT Extensions such as PT 87 or 86 will be available?

LSAC said that they would allow test takers to adjust the tablet stand at any angle except straight up(which I think is 90 degrees). Previously you could only tilt it 30 degrees. They made this change to better help avoid glare.

Was your experience In October where you could adjust the tablet stand at any angle? Was that more helpful in avoiding glare? Thanks

Hello all, I was just wondering if anyone knows if law schools actually take 6-8 weeks to get back to you with decisions? I've been waiting a total of 48 hours and I'm already going crazy lol

Has anyone else had technical issues with the highlight function and text size/wrapping when taking PTs using the Digital Tester lately? The Digitial Tester used to work flawlessly for me, but about the time my iPad Air (3rd Gen.) updated to iOS13, I started having the following issues:

For reference, I am using an iPad Air (3rd Gen.) running iOS 13.1.3. I've tried running the Tester on both Safari and Chrome, but it doesn't make a difference. Likewise, force refreshing and clearing the browser's cache didn't help either. Again, the Tester used to work flawlessly and the only thing I can really think of that might have changes on my end was a software update. Aside from that, I am completely stumped, so I am curious to know if anyone has found a work-around for this problem (aside from using another device).

They are not working for me!!

Hi all,

I feel so honored being able to finally make a post like this but damn does it feel good!

I got my score back from the October Asia test today and got a 174!

This is my personal best. I scored a 164 on the June test and had several 169s and one 173. Looks like I peaked on test day!

I never took a true diagnostic but scored a 153 untimed when I took the June 2007 test before beginning my journey. Guessing it would’ve been in the 140s timed?

I have so many people to thank for supporting me, but I especially want to give a big shout out to:

@"Lucas Carter" @"Cant Get Right", Rav, Alex divine, Jon Denning from powerscore, Ellen Cassidy from Loophole, and the Jedi master himself, JY

This community has been so supportive and helpful throughout my 1.5 year journey. I’ve met so many wonderful people. I really couldn’t have done it without the 7sage community!

Some tips and info for posterity:

I used 7sage and the Loophole for my prep. The LSAT trainer did not help me that much. I think combining the Loophole and 7sage methods helped me get to -1/-2 averages on LR, sometimes even -0.

@"Cant Get Right" method on skipping and moving on when you hit a certain expected value prediction helped me limit time wasted.

reviewing the common flaws daily on quizlet, with LSAT question examples, helped me quickly identify flaws and not waste any time

doing half a section of timed LR sections daily, from sections I have already done (odd questions one day then even questions the next) helped drill pacing, skipping, and my LR approach.

deep dive BR and then thoroughly reviewing, setting questions I just didn’t really get aside in a binder and then revisiting until I got them

practicing translating RC passages into my own words and then being very strict with my POE process in the questions: eliminate inaccurate ACs and picking the ones that required the least assumptions

repeating “be sensitive to the support” as a mantra on every LR question so that I would stay disciplined and attack the gap rather than the premises or conclusions

Lastly, worry about getting good before getting fast!

Best of luck everyone!

Hi

I know it's very last minute since applications are due in 4 hours. But is anyone willing to take a quick glance at my personal statement and provide feedback? I wanted some last and final feedback before submitting the applications.

Thanks in advance

Quick question: Should professors use our first names in LORs or is that considered too informal? @help

Hello! I'm in the home stretch of studying and looking on how I perform on RC sections, the only questions I continue to get wrong are the Main Point q's and analogy questions. Does anyone have any general tips for these two, specifically?

For example on the analogy questions, I often get down to 2 AC's but there is some nuance I miss that leads me to narrow it down but often choose the wrong one. Same for the MP questions.

Sorry if this is vague or often-answered, just been seeing a pattern and I can't seem to shake it
