I've been studying for a really long time. I assume I'm burnt out because things that are "easy" are becoming really really really hard. I cannot focus and I get furious when I'm done drilling a section. I'm missing way more questions in LR than I have in REALLY long time. Frankly, I'm fucking mad at this test right now and I know that feeling that way isn't helping. I want to take a break, but I don't know what to do during the break and it's making me anxious. Should I just take a break from LR and work on games or RC. Should I work on like law school essays or something? My schedule is such that I work part-time as tutor M-Th 3-7pm and I don't like the idea of just being lazy and waking up late and waiting for work to start. What do I do? How long of a break should I take? Please save me from myself lol

Hi everyone,

I've started fool proofing the logic games. But I'm curious to know: how many games do you tend to FP at a time? Obviously, I can only drill a game a few times a day to not just straight up memorize it.

What are your approaches? Do you go through only 5 games at a time before moving on to a new batch? Or 10 games? More? Do you visit the old games after you've fool proofed them? I'm struggling to find a good way to rotate through without worrying that I'm taking on either too many or not enough at time. (I have the LG bundle)

What was your method and what do you suggest? Your advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

J

Would it be possible if we could delete past posts and comments?

Interesting article about how successful comedians perfect their craft...all I could think while reading the article was how similar it is to effective LSAT preparation.

Irvine please respond to me! Lol

Is there any way to aggregate and then print questions from different preptests on a single document? I'd really like to create a workbook of questions I get wrong for use at a later date but am not sure how to organize those questions.

Thanks

Why is the answer C instead of E?

According to my game board set up (and JY's set up) both C and E would work just fine because W gets to trade off with V, and that makes both HW and YW possible.

Can anyone please shed some light on this question for me? I am just super confused with it now.

Thanks!

Admin note: edited title for formatting.

Has anyone ever been in the initial review completed- no decision made situation ? It also states that the decision will be made later in cycle. This confuses and frustrates me, since it's my top choice school.

Quick question: what's the difference? Also do you address a director as "dean" like if someone's title is "Assistant Director of Admissions Barney Purple" Do you say "Dean Purple"?

I can't seem to find the document that has the list of the logic words such as: only if as Group 2 introducing N.C.

Does anyone know where I can find it?

I see this categorization thrown around a lot. Is the point that there is a large quality drop off after the top 14? Or that the schools in the top 14 tend to be consistent over time?

Exactly what the title says

So, I'm pretty set on UCI unless Berkeley and/or Vanderbilt gets back to me before April. I was going to do the Larry Law Law KTCOOLS course over the summer, but the website specifically states that they don't recommend law school prep courses.

What do you guys think? Still do it or follow what they specifically recommend?

Thanks :)

Finding a job as an actress on Broadway after the Wall Street Crash of 1929:

I noticed my Michigan law application didn’t have my extra par of extracurriculars and activities so I sent in an addendum as instructed over the phone by the admissions office. THEN I noticed that my attachment was incorrect so I sent another one out in a panic, saying here’s the correct PDF- my apologies.

I feel so stupid! Am I screwed? I know I sound crazy right now

For all those taking in July - registration is now live. Good luck getting a coveted test center!

Does anyone know which of these tests will be non-disclosed/ disclosed?

September 8, 2018 (Sat)

November 17, 2018 (Sat)

January 26, 2019 (Sat)

March 30, 2019 (Sat)

June 3, 2019 (Mon)

July 29, 2019 (Mon)

I'm guessing the September 2018 and June 2019 tests will stay disclosed.

I think the March 2019 test (as a substitute for February?) and July 2019 test (assuming the July 2018 test is indicative of this) will be non-disclosed.

I'm mostly concerned about the November 2018 and January 2019 Tests.

Assumptions are welcome (if necessary). lol...

Thanks :)

Hello!

Quick question - when you are fool proofing and make a silly mistake by reading a question incorrectly that you then fix in blind review, do you take the time to add that to your "must full proof" list? Or, do you just move on?

Further, do you look at each game individually and try to get it under the time restrictions 7Sage suggests, or do you calculate your overall timing on a section and see what time you came in at and go from there?

Thanks!

I have never had a law school interview before so I don't know what to expect. Has anyone been through this?

Hey all,

Do you think after an interview you should be sending thank you e-mails to the person who interviewed you? (even if it was over Skype)?

Hello Sages,

I need your advice in logic games. For solving miscellaneous games, what should be the ideal approach? Since those games don't fall into a specified category , I don't know what the starting point should be . While practicing such games , should i spend as much time as possible (may be like 2-3 hrs) to first crack the game on my own instead of trying for 20 mins and then move on to watching the solution.My approach to solve a foreign setup should be able improve on its own as there is no specified way to deal with such games so I am trying in all possible ways to improve that . I am not sure if that is a good way to deal with foreign games. Am i trying the misc games the right way?Thanks.

Hi everyone,

Been a solid month since I posted. After I wrote in February, I took a mental break from everything LSAT related. I got my score back on March 7 and scored 6/7 points lower than my diagnostic (went from solid PTing at 159/160 to a 153 on test day). Needless to say I was pretty upset but I kind of saw it coming. I completely choked on logic games but found LR/RC to be less difficult, which I think shows in my score. I definitely guessed upward of 20 questions in LG (i.e. blindly guessed) and the other questions I didn't guess, I likely got wrong anyway. I knew I was choking on LG in the weeks leading up to the LSAT too. I was just aiming for a 160.

I'm just in general pretty bummed out. I feel like my personal statements were some of the best writing I had done. My reference letters were really strong and relevant (as I had just graduated university when I submitted my apps). I also had very strong leadership experiences and was an exceptionally involved student. I know some may say I still have hope but my top choices have historically never really accepted people with an LSAT score this low.

Now, I feel like if I retake the LSAT and apply for next cycle, my app will be significantly less competitive. I quit my job and studied for the LSAT for ~6 months, which means I've been unemployed and doing nothing but studying since September. Come applications for 2019, my application will have gone from stellar undergraduate student & involved leader to unemployed person in a quarter-life crisis lol. I've been applying for jobs but so far nothing significant has come up.

Hopefully I can muster up the strength to try again and hopefully something that I feel proud to put on my resume will come up. Blah. Just needed to vent a little.

Congratulations to everyone who received the score they were hoping for and/or has gotten into their dream schools. You guys have been super helpful along this journey so far!!

I just finished my core curriculum and it’s practice sets .

I am not sure if I should do the prep test as I planned due to I got more than half wrong in most of the 4-5stars LR questions ! Can anyone give me some advices? Should I review fundamental again or do prep test instead? Thanks for the answers in advance !

.

I know the CC is 300 hours of curriculum, and I'm not confident that I'll finish all of it in that time (mind you, my June test is later than yours! Beauty of international living, with the only downside that I have to go to a different country to take the dang test) with enough time to PT and BR. I'm working full time and sneaking in as much studying as I can.

My weakest area right now is LG, with some struggles around LR. My RC is pretty good (nearly perfect, just some sloppy mistakes from me thinking I'm hot stuff for finishing fast). My CD was 162, and the PT I took a week into studying was also a 162 (with a BR of 169, ran out of time on a whole game in LG! ack!). Haven't taken a PT since (they're being shipped to me now from the US), but I've read almost all of the LG Bible and I'm consistently getting -0 on games now when I do the ones in the Bible untimed but I'm still very slow with them. My goal is to be hitting 173+ by June 24th, and I feel like a 10 pt increase when most of those points are in LG isn't too unreasonable?

Do I need the CC in order to get myself to a good spot by end of June? Or should I keep rereading the LG bible, doing drills, doing PTs and BRs, watching the 7Sage videos, waiting for the LR Bible to come in the mail, and hoping really hard? I'm worried about the time that I would throw into the CC, and how that trades off with the time that I ought to be spending doing PTs and BR

Also I don't have consistent internet because I live in rural SE Asia, so I'm not certain how accessible the 7Sage package will be for me?
