For some reason when I try to play a video in Quick View, the video will play but without sound. This is happening in both Firefox and Chrome. Videos that are embedded in pages, such as in lessons, don't seem to be having this problem. It's only the pop-up Quick View ones that are having this problem. Please advise.

As a group, we were BR'ing this question and we could not figure out what the difference was between AC "A" and AC "C". The correct answer seems to hinge on the difference between "Average" (AC C) and Sometimes (AC A). The Stimulus states "Usually a few inches..." to parallel the concept of "usually", why is "Average" closer than "Sometimes"?

Since I have to start writing my own LOR for an old boss I went to the internet to look for some samples and found this site that I thought was pretty helpful. Wanted to share it in case others are in the same predicament as moi:

Anyone game for a PS swap?

I'm about to hand my PS off to my LOR people and feel like it needs a final and brutal review. Anyone interested in a swap?

Comment below and i'll PM you!

So I was really hoping that my Sept score would be enough for me to comfortably apply to the schools that I'm targeting but, like many of those who sat for the exam, I left discouraged and fell short of the score I wanted. After waiting that month to get my score back, it has taken a lot out of me to get back into the study grind. Is a month and a half (mid Oct - Dec exam) enough time to see an increase in score (hoping for 5-7 point improvement)?

The point: I graduated from undergrad a couple years ago and if I wait to apply next cycle, that would essentially mean I'd be starting law school at the age of 27. Is that too late? And furthermore graduating from LS at 30? I really want to apply this cycle but I also don't want to rush this process and risk bad study habits along the way for the sole purpose of forcing my application. Also, I don't want to apply any later than after the Dec scores come out bc of scholarship money etc, etc.

Is anyone in the same boat as me or have any advice? The December exam is QUICKLY approaching and I'm not sure what to do. Help

Hello

my issue is timing. my PT scores suck (155ish) because I never finish a section, logic games I have never finished more than 2, never even looked at the 3rd. i am working on the fool proof method, and obviously I am faster at the 2nd, 3rd, 4th time I do the same game but I am worried it is not translating and I am not speeding up enough in general. A game that 7sage says should take me 8 mins takes me 12. Is it just about drilling at this point to try and improve my time?

I haven't done a logic game in over a month and a half as I have been focused primarily on LR and RC while being exceptionally busy at work and life in general. I just wanted to say that if you have not Foolproofed or haven't considered doing so, I highly recommend it. I went -1 on PT 40s LG even with the exceptionally weird/different/spatial-ish third game in about 31 minutes. While PT 40 LG may be on the easier side, from my own experience the retention and skill you gain is incredible if you have managed to Foolproof the LG from PT 1-35. Good luck to everyone!

Hi!

I am an undergraduate student from Atlantic Canada. And I came across the grade conversion table on LSAC's website. My universities approach to allocating letter grades to ranges of numeric grades is very different from the one shown in that table. And I am pretty sure that my transcript will have both numeric and letter grades. In calculating GPA, our university goes by letter grades. I was wondering, in a transcript with both numeric and letter grades, will LSAC give preference to the letter grades in calculating my GPA or will it use its own numerical analysis for determining letter grades?

It would mean a lot to me if someone could point me in the right direction because I am somewhat scared that the discrepancy between how my university handles grades vs. how LSAC does might ruin my chances of getting into my choice of schools. :(

Hey everyone, I was listening to Sage Nicole's webinar on her 18 point increase, and she mentioned that she was solely doing the CC for several months (about 6-8 months, I think) before PTing. She found this approach extremely effectual. While I don't think I quite have as much time to dedicate to redoing the CC for that many months, I am considering re-doing the entire thing at least once before PTing. I'm curious if anyone else has done this? If so, would you recommend taking such an approach? Did you find it effective?

Would also like to hear everyone else's thoughts on this.

PS: Please note, I'm referring to redoing the CC on top of/before Sage Josh's recommended Post-CC strategies. I don't intend to cut out the latter strategy from my prep.

I have a question regarding a logical translation of "derive solely from." This is from the answer choice (D) in PT62.S4.Q15. https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-62-section-4-question-15/

This question is an easy PSA question, and the argument is basically like this:

　　　P: A counterfeit doesn't give any less aesthetic pleasure than a real diamond

　　　——–——–

　　　C: A real diamond and a counterfeit are equally valuable

So we need "Pleasurable --> Valuable." And (D) is the only answer choice that says something close:

The value derive solely from the pleasure. (modified version of answer choice (D) in PT62.S4.15)

Is it ok to translate this as "If it is pleasurable, it is valuable"?

　Pleasurable --> Valuable

In the video, J.Y. says that D is saying "How much is it worth? The only thing you gotta check is aesthetic pleasure it provides" so I think it is ok to translate as above, but I can also interpret it as:

The value depends on the pleasure.

And I think it would mean:

　Valuable --> Pleasurable

Can you help me figure out what derive solely from means?

So I desperately need help with improving on logical reasoning. Right now my blind review is close to 19/25. On timed sections, I get around 15. I am writing the December test so I can take all the advice I can get.

I have heard that repeatedly doing untimed questions helps big time as you begin to recognize the patterns in the flaws/answer choices. Right now, I have been doing untimed LR sections in groups of 5 questions so that I don't get use to doing specific question types since I noticed I was getting use to doing one type of question and had troubles switching back and forth when doing an entire section/PT.

What has worked for you guys? I find myself struggling with questions where I have trouble understanding the stimulus or with longer questions, any tips on how to get around this? Should I just keep drilling? Will I eventually see an improvement?

I was wondering if the number of problem sets differ with different packages? Like holy shit I'm about to hit Flaw questions and I see 24 problem sets and it seems like the 'difficult' sets begin somewhere near 17th set. Wtf I'll never finish the CC.

I was watching this video: and the professor brings up the experimental section around 10 minutes into the video, and how some can discern the experimental section via the exponential difficulty increase as compared to the non experimental section. Only want to know so I don't start freaking out during the test if there is a dramatic increase in one of the sections.

Hello - I am studying the CC and was wondering when do we start timing ourselves when we do the problem sets after each section. I haven't been timing myself and taking my time answering the questions sets and then I BR. Thx.

I visited the D.C law fair yesterday and struck up a conversation with the assistant head of admissions at a t14 school, we have been emailing back and forth and i was wondering what the chances are that she will get a look at my application. What do you think? Does everyone on the board of admissions see an application?

Hey Everyone,

I was just going through my BR process for PT73 and was wondering how you all review RC. My process is that I go back to any passages where I have circled questions and then read those again. However, this time I really mark up the passage and try to annotate a lot of it. After that, I go and try the question that I circled for that passage.

Does anyone have any suggestions that could help me really glean more knowledge from my review process?

Thanks!

I'm in the midst of my first really intensive bout of studying on RC, and I'm a little hung up on strategy. Out of the last 5 or 6 sections I've done, there have been two passages that have really tripped me up. On those two sections I finished around the 31 minute mark, so I had time to go back to have another shot at it. It's what to do with that time that I'm not sure of right now. I'm already trying to force myself to slow down when I notice something isn't sinking in on a passage. Most passages I can read around 2:30 and go -0/-1, and I've spent up to 3:30-3:45 on tougher passages up to this point. These have been in the -3/-4 range (one even got worse on BR...). Does anyone have any tips on whether I should spend even more time up front, or is having the distance of the second pass at the end a better strategy? If I'm going back to a passage at the end that I have 3+ circled questions on, should I dive back into the questions or read through part or all of the passage again? It's kind of a limited sample right now, but it's definitely been an ongoing trend on RC for me. Right now these passages are pretty much my biggest LSAT nightmare.

I'm getting almost every flaw question wrong. I'm not sure why, when I do BR and really take time on the questions re-reading stimulus and answer choices, I can usually get the correct answer but still have difficulty. Is there a specific list that I could possibly use to memorize all the cookie-cutter flaws and answer choices corresponding to those particular flaws? Should I make flash cards? Any advice on this will be appreciated!

I am wondering if my approach to NA questions is wrong? Despite some concerns about my approach I am still usually getting the correct answer; however, this is not good for test day!

I read the question stem

Read the stimulus, but look for the conclusion

Find the support

Try and find a gap between the conclusion and support (but I struggle with this step sometimes).

I usually get answer choices down to 2-3 (mostly 2)

At this point I’m sort of confused so I just try and negate the remaining answer choices. But sometimes when I negate both answer choices, I feel as if both would destroy the argument?

Thoughts/advice??? What is your approach to NA questions? Thank you! ?

Title pretty much says everything, but which questions do you guys think were the curve breakers for the logical reasoning sections?

Just trying to see if I missed any "low hanging fruit" questions that I really should have gotten right.

Thanks.

Hi all, if anyone has gotten a merit-based fee waiver from either and feels comfortable sharing your stats (GPA and LSAT), I'd be very grateful. Thanks!

I'm new here, but have been studying for awhile, and am looking for another person to trade messages with as we go through the CC and then post-CC. I also want to talk about our schedules. Thanks for considering this. I appreciate it.

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts."

Since the September test and score release I have been really struggling to pull myself out of a slump. Thanks to this community and the encouragement that I've gotten I can say I am feeling better and back at my studying. Thank you for being awesome people.

The biggest take away from my experience is that you can never stop preparing. There will be no moment when you become an LSAT god and score 180 on every test with 10min to spare each section. Perfection is not the goal, accuracy is. Everybody, even masters like J.Y., still make mistakes on this test. The only tool we have in our bag is how prepared we are to take it.

Which leads me to truly believe that every single one of us is capable of achieving our dream score on the LSAT. Because this test is all about how prepared, experienced, and confident you are in yourself; we are all able to do what we set our minds to. It might take different amounts of time from one person to the next, but it's 100% doable.

So if you are ever frustrated by a section, question, passage or game, remind yourself that it is a learning opportunity. Tell yourself that since you've seen it before you will never let yourself fall for that trap again. Eventually the LSAT will start having less and less tricks up its sleeve to throw you off. Your confidence will continue to grow, and you'll have more experience under your belt.

Here's to all my re-takers, first timers, past/future successes.

Hi all, during some of July and most of August, I foolprooed 1-35. And then I started to go back through the games immediately after I was done to make sure I could do a full section under timed conditions (I FPed by doing six new games a day, timing each individually and separately). However, I found that I was going -2 or even -3 per section.

So I stopped. I only looked at games during a PT.

And y'know what? I've gone either -1 or -0 on every single PT I've taken since (six, so far). FPing is time intensive. I was doing 6 new games two times and then doing the 6 games from the previous day a third time AND 6 games from a week earlier. All in one day, starting at 5am and fitting it in between working 7:45am-5pm. This is all to say that FPing takes a shit ton of work. It is exhausting. But your brain is taking it all in, somehow. So if your plateauing---or even backsliding---take a break. Don't look at a game for two weeks. And then get back on the horse and you'll really see how much you've improved. Of course this is all anecdotal but I just realized today how much that break probably improved my morale.
