Hi everyone, so I started doing the Logic Games of the CC around 2-3 days ago. I'm finding that I'm getting the questions right (perfect on almost every quiz so far) so my problem isn't that I am struggling to understand the games, it's the time. JY always tells us the target time and I'm consistently way over it...any suggestions on what this means and what I can do? I try repeating the same games and sometimes I can hit the target but other times not

Thanks

I've been PTing 5 section tests, just tossing in one extra section at random. When I grade the PT, I dont include the random extra section in my score. I've noticed some people mentioning they rarely take 5 section tests and don't find it detrimental.

Thoughts?

LETS GOOOO!!!!

How many games did you foolproof? Is it recommended to do all of the games from PTs 1-35? Also how long does it take to foolproof? I understand that everyone learns at a different speed but what's a ballpark figure?

Without giving too much away as I'm still BR-ing LSAT C2, can someone please elaborate what such a flaw is? I don't think I've seen this type of flaw description before. In S3 Q18 of this preptest, one of the answer choices is that the argument "Draws a conclusion based on an ambiguous notion of knowledge." What's that mean? lol can someone give me an example in laymen's terms that can illustrate what this flaw would look like?

First school I'm seeing that accepts the GMAT, anyone else know of one?

After all is said and done though, it still seems to me that the LSAT is the better option. Law schools are familiar with it and they know how grueling it is to prepare for.

I just ordered a cambridge LR by type book off amazon. yes super expensive and kinda silly considering I have them all on 7sage but having to screenshot and print is making me really avoid drilling by type. I know the older LR arent quite the same as modern LR, are the 20s too early to drill?

I recently found out about the URM status and I was curious whether or not I qualify. I come from a mixed background (S/O to the mixed kids out there) where my father is Chinese Jamaican and my mother is from Thailand.

Thanks in advance!

I may be naive, but I'm really looking forward to doing some hard core, full-time studying during the 3 months I'm off for maternity leave. I work full time and am only able to study a few hours a night and half a day on weekends. I often wish I could just quit my job and study full time.

Any parents out there had the opportunity to study while on leave with a brand new baby? I keep hearing from some friends that they were 'bored' during their time off so I figured it'd be a great time to study all day but I also hear new babies typically take over your entire life :-P

With this recent app update it got trickier to put in the answer choices. So many extra steps. Instead of having it in a form of mobile app now its just a website in mobile version. WHY DID YOU CHANGE IT 7SAGE?

Hi everyone! I just would like some feedback on your experience in working through the CC. So I am about 50% of the way through the CC right now and it is definitely not moving as fast as I would have liked but I'm holding on to the idea of "slow and steady wins the race." With that being said, as I cover new topics, some of the earlier concepts that may not be directly relevant to the section I'm on (ie invalid/valid argument forms/ lawgic-specific rules, etc), are not as easy to remember quickly. Then I start to freak out and wonder since I am not recalling things as quickly, I need to step back. Also, to note I'm not just moving swiftly without having a good understanding of what I just learned, it's more so that sometimes it will take a whole week to get through one section (ie Flaw question type with corresponding 20+ problem sets) , and will have me feeling like what I covered earlier in the CC is becoming foggy. I guess what I want to know, is this a common feeling? Did you guys implement any strategies to keep the older CC top of mind? Did you begin your studying with a basic review, or something? Also, how long did it take you to complete the CC, and how did your first PT post CC go?

I have a cumulative GPA of 3.4 in a Bachelor of Arts degree from Cornell University ('17). I double majored and double minored (if that counts for anything) in humanities related fields. I don't have an explanation for the GPA other than the struggles of navigating university as a first-gen student. I will not be writing an addendum on this.

I need to be realistic about my law school prospects but would love to consider Michigan or Northwestern (Columbia/NYU if it's not too hopeless). I know that with a near-perfect LSAT score, I can achieve this but I need someone to be straight with me. Do I need to lower my standards/expectations? Is T14 out of the question? If T14 is a possibility, what LSAT should I strive for to compensate for my GPA?

Thanks in advance for the advice and honesty!

Hey everyone,

I've recently begun recording myself as I complete sections and Full PTs. It's been immensely insightful, especially for evaluating my ability to stick to various strategies.

That being said, I'd be interested in putting them out to some persons in the 7Sage community to receive feedback, but I'm not sure if this is permitted under the LSAC licensing that 7Sage has. Anybody have experience in the this area?

Does anyone have negative experiences with accommodations? Are there any downsides?

So here I am working on timed LR PSs and fool-proofing LG when an old friend of mine reminded me we graduated high school 10 years ago today! College was 6 years ago. My my my how time has flown. I remember not knowing what the future held but I had so many plans. I never would have thought 10 years later I would studying so hard to go back to school. I sometimes get discouraged thinking I will be 29 when I start law school, 30 if I have to push it back another year. But hey better late than never. Any other 7sagers out there in the same boat as me?

Hey guys, I am fairly new to the community here. I am planning to take the test in September. Because I have only recently been able to gain a more open schedule, I am somewhat intimidated by the remaining time I have until the exam date. I will begin working full time this upcoming July, therefore I seek to dedicate a certain number of hours a week to LSAT study. Do any of you have a recommendation of a certain amount of hours? Also, aside from using 7sage, has there been any apps or products you think would compliment the use of 7sage?

I'm sure everyone but me already knows this, but make sure you check with the VA concerning any remaining GI Bill eligibility you might have. I rushed my way through my undergrad, getting my degree in less than 3 years and called the benefits number today on a whim. Found out I have 13 months of remaining eligibility (Montgomery, not Post 9-11). Regardless, that's over $25k at the current distribution rate. Every little bit helps.

I wanted to see what you all thought about my schedule leading to the September test. As it stands, I am finished with the CC, I am 1/3 of the way through fool-proofing 1-35 and I have done a total of 3 PT's including my diagnostic. My plan is as follows -

I have 13 weeks and I will divide them between:

3 weeks to finish fool-proofing 1-35

remaining 10 weeks to take 2 PT's/week with intense BR and drilling in-between tests.

Does this look like a good strategy? Should I increase or decrease the number of PT's that I have taken?

With a week left until the June exam, I’m wondering what consensus exists here in the wisdom of tapering off the study schedule? Like a marathoner, I believe that while it’s certainly unwise to abandon studying altogether this last week, there may be some benefit to tapering off slightly.

Hello, I was that LSAC is saying that if you register for both july and sept, do well in july and don't want to rewrite they will refund your sept. registration .

This to me seems like a better strategy if I need to rewrite then waiting until Nov. You won't get the score report until August16 for the july lsat.

What does everyone think ? Are those few weeks between july- sept lsat a game changer for your lsat score ? I've heard of people plateauing for the lsat --- below is what lsac sent

"If you are registered for the July test date as well as the September test date, you may request a full refund of your September LSAT registration fee if you are satisfied with your July score.

You may request a full refund of your September registration by submitting a signed request to LSACrefunds@lsac.org. Please include full refund for September in the Subject line. The signed refund request must be received by August 14, 2018 in order to be processed."

There used to be an option to grade your test right when you open up the app. Anyone’s know where that went? Also can I find that option on the website?

Currently sitting at -4 average on LR and striving to break this barrier and improve to -2 by July. After BR, I usually end up with -1 or -0. Typically, the questions I get wrong are the ones that I skip because of time constraints (usually 3 on the last page) and one or two from earlier in the section that I didn't have time to review. There is not much consistency in the question types that I miss early in the section.

Any tips for improving my timing? Should I drill the first 15 problems of older PTs with a 10 minute time limit? Confidence drills? Video taping full LR sections to see where I waste the most time? What methods have worked best for you guys when it comes to reaching full LR potential?

Hello, I am 48. A career changer and considering using this forum to study....I am trying to review the logic games for free before I commit to a purchase. I can't seem to find any answer to this question: Does this review course require the purchase of a book to go along with the videos? Or, is the information such as a text, included? Any information would be greatly appreciated

Can anyone talk about a logical equivalency to this phrase? Not "IF", but is it equivalent to "only if"? Or how should I interpret this phrase in LR questions - I've come across it a few times in the late 60s tests.

How do you differentiate between the context and the premise? Do you always have to have a premise indicator in order to have a premise?
