Hey guys,

How do you improve timing, especially with LR and LG? Is it something that just comes naturally with tons of practice? Do you just get faster at answering questions accurately with more and more experience?

I'm greatly frustrated because, for example, on a recent LR section on a preptest, I missed 9 freaking questions under the standard 35 minutes. Re-did the 9 questions afterwards on BR, and got 6 of them correct. Questions I could easily have gotten right but missed because of the pressure of that constantly ticking damn clock.

I feel if I had even an extra 5 minutes per section, or 40 minutes, I could really, really do much better. Obviously, we only get 35 minutes per.

How do you guys do it? So frustrated...

A few weeks back I received an email invitation from the LSAC to participate in an Online writing portion (still unclear if this would have replaced my September 2018 in-person section). However, LSAC had over 3,000 applicants accept the invite so I wasn't among one of the ones selected. Are any of you doing the pilot writing section online in the next few weeks?

If you're not doing the pilot, what do you think of the writing section being on a separate day than the rest of the LSAT?

Game 1 from PT 34, for example. I couldn't even set up the board... Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong? I've been foolproofing exactly as 7sage says, even using 10 clean copies for each game.

All the advice I've read on asking for LORs is that it must be done in person. In my case, I graduated college 3 years ago and am unable to find out what the office hours are of the professor I'm hoping will write one of my LORs. Also, I feel like jogging her memory of me with an emailed note first would be to my advantage, since it's been 4 years since I took her class. Would it be so horrible to make an initial LOR request over email while also asking for her office hours this semester (or another time she's available), then coming in in person and giving her additional information, etc.? #help

Has this ever happened to anyone else ? I was tired already, worked, went to the gym, and my contacts were really bothering me lol but I figured it would be good to get some practice under my belt of testing when I'm not feelin 100% but boy was I wrong ... Couldn't even finish my first section in time (which was RC, but usually my strong suit), and then finally just decided not to waste anymore of the PT halfway through the second section, (I'll break it up later to drill I guess :/). Just feeling pretty sucky, but I know I would've felt worse once I calculated what I know would've been one of my worst scores yet.

Hello everyone,

If a question stem says “which one of the following statements can be properly inferred from the statements above?”, is this a MBT or MSS question?

Thank you in advance.:)

English is my first and only language I know.

PT57 S4 P2 Q8

Passage summary:

If you don't want to read the passage, the author thinks science and humanities can benefit by a synthesis of the two, the result being the coined phrase of "scientific humanism." The author is neutral in regards to favoring either discipline and blames the two areas having a misunderstanding of one another that is preventing them from coming together.

Question 8. Inference: Author Agree

Answer A: Scientific Humanism is characterized by the extension of description and explanation from science to the humanities.

When I first read this, I thought it was stating "from science to the humanities" in the form of a spectrum. In other words, my first reasoning was analogous to the song America the Beautiful, where it states, "from sea to shining sea." The song is not stating "crowd brotherhood from one sea and put it into the other." But the AC here should be understood as "take description and explanation from science and put it into the humanities." English is strange and I am wondering if anyone else thought this way. I understand my first reasoning is not the correct way of viewing the English for this question. So, how can I not make this mistake again?

Thanks in advance!

So i have one solid LOR down from a professor but for my second one I am conflicted on who to ask. I had one TA for two courses (first class they were a TA but second class they were independently teaching it as a seminar course.) I am on very good terms with them and know that i could get a VERY strong LOR from him, however he is not a professor. I also have a prof who i know would give me a LOR but it would not be as strong, most likely a standard one. Which one should I go for?

Till a couple of days ago, the Register for LSAT section (Asia) showed the next LSAT to be in October, but now it's been changed to September. Yet, the date and time beside the centres still show the October date (10/14/2018, 8:30 AM). 

Is this a glitch or has LSAC actually preponed the exam (is that even possible???) and the test centre dates are yet to be updated?

Freaking out!

My scores (in said section) don't fluctuate when LR/LG are the first sections but whenever RC pops up as the first section, I go from getting a maximum of -5 to a minimum of -10. I'm planning to take all my PT's henceforth with RC as the first section, was wondering if anyone here had some other tips/insights? Thanks:)

Any tips on how to study while working full-time

Hi everyone! So I have been trying to read for structure, and I think it has paid off mild dividends. However, not enough. RC is killing me, scoring around -6 on it. With the September LSAT on the horizon, I was wondering if there is something I can do to try to get a few more points in RC. Is it worth it to buy the LSAT trainer and drill the RC section? Are there any other useful RC resources? Thanks!

Hi,

I am applying as an international student and before applying to schools, I am scouring all around the internet to find people who have applied in a similar situation. I cannot visit the school physically nor do I know any alumni/current students around me. So, this is one way I found to get in touch with people to get a more intimate idea of the school apart from what is said on the brochures and website.

Also, it sucks that I cannot send a full message on LinkedIn without paying for it so I am trying to connect with them and send a small blurb.

If you guys have any ideas on how to go about this, please advice.

Thank you! (3 (3(/p)

Hi everyone,

I just checked my LSAC Academic Summary Report and I am very confused.

The LSAC calculated my Degree Summary GPA as a 3.36 and my Cumulative GPA as a 3.41.

In contrast, my university says my Cumulative GPA is a 3.36 and my Cumulative GPA for my major is a 3.56.

Also: I received an F in a P/F GE course I took and it is not being reflected on my LSAC Academic Summary Report (which I REALLY don't mind because it would definitely pull down my LSAC GPA) but I'm just so confused--was it an error?

I guess my question is: which GPA is the one that law schools use to decide whether to admit me or not?

Furthermore, if a law school's average GPA is a 3.57/3.59 (i.e. UCI or UC Davis) and I have a 3.41 GPA, am I still considered a splitter? Will I still need to kill it/ overcompensate on my LSAT? (I'm an URM)

@"David.Busis" I would really love to hear your insight.

Thanks everyone.

Hi I'm new to this forum.

I was wondering if the starter package provides video explanations for LR and RC? If so, which PTs?

Thanks in advance!

So I was thinking about this the other day when I saw one of those pictures that pops up when you log into 7sage, there was a binder that said "law school applications" on the side of the desk. It got me thinking: I should probably get more organized with my law school apps. I am planning to apply for at least 10 schools and I am applying for scholarships so I want to organize my applications by school name and really clarify for the documents I will need for each school. Does anyone have a system that works for them with their applications?

Hi all, here's my current approach:

Please let me know what you guys think of this approach.

Thank you. :)

Took another PT yesterday. LR: -5 and -8. LG -3. You know what? That'll do for me. My problem is RC. I went 10/27 on the June LSAT and on my PT yesterday I went 15/27. I don't know what else to do. I have been doing low res summaries, but there are just some of those "what the F" passages that lose me. Tips? Things that worked for you? Lately I have just been practicing RC over and over, but at this point I do not know what else I can do.

I am a reader too...like, this is frustrating.

Can someone tell me where to find the discussion that JY posted a while back about the 7sage tutors?

What exactly is this foolproofing concept that everyone is talking about? I did another course but looking to get outside knowledge and different inputs.

3 weeks away from the September exam and PT 72 just killed me. Trying really hard to not beat myself up over this and taking it as a learning experience, however this is easier said than done. My RC score was my saving grace and after this PT... I'm just shook.

Any "post L PT trying not to have a meltdown so close to the exam" rituals you guys have?? Please lmao :( (3(/p)

hi all! I have been self studying using the entire powerscore bibles since middle of may & originally planning on taking september test. started feeling unprepared & decided to hold off until november test and put my studying efforts toward something else. had recently used some of the 7sage LG explanation videos & found those very helpful, would like to try switching all of my study time over to 7sage. since i have been studying with powerscore for a solid 3 months and almost halfway through all 3 section’s bibles, was wondering if the 7sage starter pack would be sufficient enough for now? looking for any advice/switchover study tips! thanks a lot!

I'm currently in the process of fool proofing (I'm on PT 8 of 35). I feel more comfortable with logic games but it's still by far my weakest section. I often find myself freezing up and having to watch the explanation because I have no idea how to proceed with the game. How long did it take for logic games to click for you? Did it happen gradually or all at once?

So, I bought an in-class LSAT prep package through Kaplan. However, after I paid/started the course, I started seeing all the negative reviews/couldn't get a refund for my Kaplan course and found 7sage, which has been really awesome. I'm going to finish out the Kaplan course (I'm halfway done), but once it ends, I want to hit the ground running fully switching over to 7sage.

I only have the premiere package for 7sage and it looks like most of the PrepTests provided, most of them will have been used in class materials from Kaplan. Is this an issue? I'm also planning on downloading all the PrepTests that come with my Kaplan course online so I can have access to them, but I won't have the 7sage explanations. Should I modify the preptests I do to be the ones that I won't have done with Kaplan, still do BR, but just independently look up answer explanations? Also, any advice from people who have made the switch from other LSAT prep courses and what to look out for?

Would love to hear about what jobs you are considering or have lined up post LSAT.

I am considering on applying for another legal assistant position but I know I may not be an ideal candidate since I would only be available for less than a year. Anyone have thoughts on whether I should apply anyway or how you would handle the time frame? Thank you!
