Do you use your pre-phase to choose a correct answer or use it to get rid of wrong answers? Or a combination of both? Trying to find a new strategy for choosing LR question

Hello!

I'm in a bit of a pickle. Here are the facts:

I moved from CO to WA to attend University of Washington (1st choice, the reason why we moved) or Seattle University (back up, try to transfer to UW after 1st year)

I received full tuition at Denver University!!

I have half of tuition paid for at Seattle University.

I planned to use DU to wager scholarship funds at Seattle University but I doubt they'll match full tuition.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 6 years and made the move to WA together

Would it be wise to br just the logic reasoning section? Its the only section I have finished completely in the curriculum. My only hang up is that by doing that im not getting a feel for the entire test.

Just thought I'd share this really weird article about someone who's about to become human toast.

First lesson: don't lie. It won't be pretty.

My last 4 PTs fall between 162-164, in reviewing these I've been able to establish where my weakness is.. but I genuniely am at a loss for how to improve.

I completed PT60 (June'10) yesterday and scored 162. I am able to accept my LG and LR missed questions, because I've learned why I was wrong and the why the correct answer is correct.

However, RC is another story entirely. I consistently missed 10-11 questions in this section, and not necessary because I run out of time. I typically finish the last passage with about 2-3 minutes to review anything I was unsure about.

Anyhow, ANY ADVICE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! If someone wants to be study partners (at least for RC) I do have pdf copies of some LSATs I'd be willing to share.

PT60 Breakdown:

S1.LR (-6)

S2.LG (-2)

S3.LR (-5)

S4.RC (-11)

Hi all,

I turned to this community after hitting a hard plateau upon taking a rushed 2-month Blueprint course. I started off with 154 and could not get beyond early 160s. Realizing that I wasn't where I wanted to be, I delayed my LSAT and studied on this platform for 2 more months and took the November LSAT, ending up with a 168. Since then, I've somewhat unexpectedly gotten into incredible school including NYU, Berkeley, Michigan, Duke, Cornell, GULC, UCLA, and USC but I'm heavily leaning towards UCLA because: 1) I want to eventually settle and practice in SoCal 2) my boyfriend is skeptical of LDRs. By the way, I cannot recommend the 7Sage unlimited edit package enough, the editors helped me through the whole process from brainstorming to polishing the final draft. UCLA is an incredible law school, and was definitely my target, but I'm reluctant to let go of these incredible opportunities at T-14. Am I making a smart decision by foregoing T-14, and will this decision impact my marketability as a lawyer in the long-run? I'm desperately trying to be rational, but am being pulled in million directions. What would you guys do in my shoes?

Hello, I'm currently about 40% of the way through JY's course but would love to find others to study/take practice tests with in Boston/Cambridge. I'm taking the LSAT in June but am happy to study with anyone regardless of test date.

I will be taking the LSAT one final time this March in hopes of getting off of a few waitlists and upping my scholarship prospects. I would like to find an LR study buddy to BR over Skype with. I usually miss between 4-6 questions between both sections and would like to work to get that down a bit for a shot at 170s. I am open to working with anyone. Shoot me a message if you might be interested!

Hey! For some reason I'm having trouble finding the page that breaks down the question types and what I need to work on. I'm in the process of taking exams and want to start drilling question types throughout the week, those that I'm consistently getting wrong or having trouble with. Can someone please guide me on how to find this on 7sage? I remember a while back I was on a page with a bunch of bubbles that represented the question types...

Thanks so much

Looking for a virtual study partner. :)

Hey all,

Does anyone know how to translate this using the group 3/4 rules?

Earth's temperature would not rise had not fossil fuels been burned.

I just have no idea how to apply the rules here, if someone could explain what the translation is and why and which rules they used, that'd be much appreciated!

Hello! I am aiming to take the March test and really committed to doing this but I am struggling. Is there a tutor here that could help?

This started playing in my head... Am I going insane at last?

How come B is wrong?

Any advice what I should be looking for in my 1L summer internship? Thanks!

Hi,

I'm retaking the LSAT, & I have 2 powerscores and quite a few books of prep tests from last time. So I was wondering if it was worth it to get the Ultimate Plus as opposed to the Ultimate, since the main difference seems to lie in the prep tests and I already have many of them. There are also more section explanations, though. If it weren't for the fact that you have to pay the lump sum in one go instead of on payment, I would probably just opt for the Plus. Thoughts?

Looking to find a study/accountability buddy! I live in NYC and spend most of my day studying so I'm always available for all things LSAT related. Contact me if interested!

Lately, I have been feeling a sense of discouragement. I am losing focus and I am having trouble reading. as predicted, my confidence is lacking as well. #helpme

Reading a bunch of posts recently about law school prep, I realized that I don't really know how to study. This sounds weird for a person trying to get into law school, but it's just my reality. I suspect that the readers on this forum know what they're doing much more than most, and was wondering if you can share some of your insights or hacks on how you memorize and study?

I've check out apps like quizlet and scribd, courses like larrylawlaw and the coursera law introduction, and they seems really helpful.

My current plan is to take notes on paper during class, and then synthesize my notes into an outline on my computer.

What do you guys think of my plan so far?

From Columbia's website:

Can I submit an addendum or additional written materials along with my application?

Yes. The Admissions Committee believes that candidates should be able to expand upon aspects of their candidacy that are otherwise not represented in the required materials. Some examples include diversity statements, statements of strong interest in Columbia Law School, explanations of undergraduate and/or LSAT performance, etc. We strongly suggest that applicants use their best judgment, in terms of content and length, when considering the submission of supplemental materials.

So the question is do I treat it like a Why X essay? I'm not sure if writing one is a good idea...

Hi 7sagers,

I was wondering if it looks bad to reapply next year with the same addendums and DS and PS?

I’m debating whether to pay for admission consultanting service (7sage/Spivey/PowerScore) for this cycle, which is already late, or do the best I can on my own for this cycle and wait to hire them for the next cycle when I have a better chance overall.

If I can reuse the material for next cycle, then I suppose hiring them for this cycle would be worth it since that way I can give both cycle a much better shot, right? (Hiring them for both cycles is not an option for me since their service costs 3k+).

I have a mediocre GPA 3.5ish, three cancels for the LSAT and waiting for the January score.

Some feedback would be highly appreciated!

If you have experience working with any of these consulting services above, please share your experience or PM me!

Thank you in advance!

Currently fool proofing 1-35 LG however I want to make sure my LR skills (or lack thereof) are not diminishing. I have saved some problem sets from the CC but after I finish these should I start from PT#1 and drill by question type or whole sections?

So, I come from a STEM background and I am a bit nervous about my upcoming 1L year. I heard some good things about the former 7sage law school course (now Larry Law Law), but it's pretty expensive and I was wondering if it is a good investment. Or if there are any other courses that are good, I would love to learn their names. If prep courses are not recommended, I would really appreciate it if you could elaborate why. Thanks!
