Just wondering if anyone created a list of the logical indicators and the 4 groups they belong in? Thanks

I'm ripping up old powerscore books but they don't cover the entire first 35 pts. Also, why exactly is 1-35 the range that people use for fool proofing games

Hi Everyone,

I'm having a hard time comprehending why the answer for this question is (C) rather than (E).

From what I understand the argument is “Increase in demand for printed books over manuscripts -> dramatic jump in number of people who could read”

So the weakening answer would be one that explains why literacy would not increase. However, the answer is demonstrating why increase in books increased. Could someone help me out please.

Thanks a lot!

Hey everyone,

I just began studying for the June LSAT and was wondering if anyone who lived in San Francisco or the East Bay would be interested in meeting in person to study for the exam. I work M-F, 8-5 in Civic Center, and am down to meet for a couple hours after work and on the weekends. Shoot me a message if you're down!

Hey everyone,

So I seem to always have an issue of 2nd guessing my answers... and most of the time it is in LR. Within the two answers that I come down to, 1 is always the right answer and then the other is not. However... I find myself 2nd guessing the ones that just seem too obvious, and since the answer choice seems too simple or too obvious I don't end up choosing it. I would say that 9 times out of 10 when I get an LR question wrong it is because of 2nd guessing the answer choice (I actually note the ones I 2nd guess on, which is how I know this).

I'm wondering if anyone has any pointers in how to deal with this... how can I finally stop 2nd guessing those answers?! Overcoming this problem is way harder than it seems lol.

Thanks!! Happy studying :)

I took the December test, and prepped with the Powerscore Bibles. I'm retaking the test in Feb and am using 7 Sage now (and rereading Powerscore Bibles). Obviously time is an issue. Is reading the LSAT Trainer worthwhile at this point? Will there be much key advice that is 7sage or Powerscore doesn't touch on. I am studying like a lunatic right now and can squeeze it in. Just not sure if it's worth it. As always, any advice would be MUCH appreciate.

I applied to HLS with 25% LSAT and received an interview request. HLS later in the admissions cycle clarified that people who have taken both LSAT and GRE report both (even though it wasn't stated at the time of submitting application).

I took GRE couple of years ago cold not for LS. Since I assume interview is a positive sign, i am unsure and concerned that reporting sub-par GRE that I took without prep will negatively impact my application, esp as my LSAT is already below median and the feather that could tilt the scale.

GRE score is: 163 v (93%), 167 q (94%), 5.5 aw (95%)

Those who applied HLS with GRE scores, can you share the stats and how bad this GRE would be esp as their median LSAT is 99%?

I am apprehensive to take a PT because although I feel like I've gained a plethora of knowledge and skills I fear a low score or one close to my diagnostic. I think I'd be discouraged if my score hadn't changed much. But I like to think it has at least some. Should I just split my time for now between drilling LR & RC sections followed by BR, and also foolproofing the LGs? Or should I take a PT just to see where I'm at?

Just wondering :-)

Interested to learn about what other students do the morning prior to the exam...in December I was up quite early, read a bit of my book to get the brain going (aside from eating/coffee etc.). I've heard some like to do a LG or read a passage...I find that the first section during the real test for me is filled with all my thoughts whizzing around that I'm distracted to read the actual test, but then once that first one is over I'm totally in the zone. Looking for ways to be able to be mentally focused right off the bat. Any suggestions?

Did anyone else feel sick doing it? Lol I felt like I was going to mess something up, or like I mixed up which documents went to which schools. What if I missed a small mistake?

I kinda wanna go back to my safe place of studying for the LSAT...

Do any T-14 schools ever offer a living stipend? How about T-50?

Hi 7Sagers,

I'm looking for an accountability partner, 2 max, in a similar scoring range as me.

I got a 161 on the December LSAT, but have been PTing in the high 160s and low 170s. I will be retaking in Feb.

My main goal is to drill every day and PTing around twice a week in order to improve timing and confidence. I'm interested in finding someone who is also making an effort to drill everyday. We don't have to drill the same stuff or even work on the same PTs, I'm just looking for someone to touch base with everyday to hold me accountable for daily drilling. Also, it's nice to have someone to gripe about the admissions process with.

Comment your scoring/LSAT situation if you're interested in getting in touch!

I am reviewing ALL sections beginning with LG. I am having trouble and would appreciate someone to give some insight.

I am going to take February LSAT as well.

Hey guys, I am debating whether I should write a diversity statement or not. I am already writing about a socio-economic challenge that I overcame in my socio-economic addendum and I don’t really have a topic to write for my diversity statement aside from the fact that my family was dirt poor but we still moved around the world in search of a better place to live and so I got to live in different cultures and learned to adapt. Is that a good enough topic? Because I don’t see how that could contribute to the classroom discussions. Maybe I just don’t know enough of what they want

I'm currently looking at a logic game question and one of the following constraints stated: "If J is included in the tour, it must be visited third." My question is: Does the "must" guarantee the J to be 3rd on the tour or does the "if" rule determines the J to be optional?

I'm looking for a clear concise summary of each question type the approach that is clear and simple

Hey guys,

I think a lot of you will read this and think "why the hell is she posting about this" because it's not really something that has to do with actual logic game skills but,

I seem to have a persistent problem with misreading instructions in the logic games. Not the conditional instructions - those are covered by our lessons. I mean re-reading actual words the wrong way.

For example, on Preptest 44, one of the games is about 5 different archaeological sites, all of which were discovered by different people in different centuries. The options are the 8th, 9th, and 10th centuries.

One of the rules says "the site discovered 3rd is from a more recent century than the sites discovered 1st or 4th."

My brain somehow managed to read this as "the site discovered 3rd is older than the sites discovered 1st or 4th."

I messed up the rule during a timed practice test and then, shockingly, I messed it up again during BLIND REVIEW. This is how bad this tendency is. I don't have any kind of reading learning disability that might lead me to swap words in my head.

I'm just kind of at my wits end because this is not the first time this has happened to me. In fact it seems to happen a lot, and I usually don't realize it until I've diagrammed everything and then I have to start over, losing precious time.

Has this happened to anyone? Can you recommend any good techniques that will help me stop doing this?

Hello All,

So I was doing a hard LR question, PT35.S1.Q17, and I wanted to know if someone could help contextualize answer choice C with an example of something that exhibits this flaw? The flaw confuses the establishment that an event occurred with the establishment of the cause of that event.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Best wishes,

Kristen

Sent out my law school apps last week and I knoww/have been told 100 times to not constantly review the completed applications. I do however think Ive made a slight error on the start date of my undergraduate institution. The years are correct but I put the wrong month. The month isnt even off by much which is why I feel silly for even asking. The difference would literally be a few days because I had actually started the month prior to the one listed but at the very end of that month. Am I freaking out for nothing or does something have to be done about this? When I was working on my applications that month was just automatically there so I thought it was a CAS thing and that date was accurate

Hey all - I go back and forth on how I will realistically study and get my school work done when I start law school. I have a 7 and 4 year old and sometimes the "guilty mom" feelings creep in. My husband is supportive and said he would help out so long as we cut our budget since I won't be working during school. I just wonder, that even with his help, how much quality time will I really be spending with my kids? Going to school would mean very little to no after-school activities - at least for a little while. Guilt. It may mean someone else doing their homework with them and not me. Guilt. I want to go to law school so bad but is it worth it at the expense of my kids?? The guilt! This sucks.

So, I was wondering how the other moms and dads are doing it or will do it. Any advice or motivation are really appreciated.

Hello, guys. Need help on this one please. I’ve gotten myself all turned around on this one. E was a contender but I went with D because I saw the question as an argument by analogy. According to the webinar we should introduce an area of key dissimilarity between the two phenomena so I went with D. Am I wrong that D is even introducing a key dissimilarity? E seemed super obvious but I still chose D because of the aforementioned. Also, the explanations I’ve read say that the author is saying there was trade between Europe and East Asia. I didn’t see it that way. I thought the author was just saying just because there’s no written record that doesn’t prove there was no trade. I guess I can’t really understand this one as well because the explanations all say the AC strengthen the author’s conclusion that there was trade between the two.

Hi all,

So i've been studying since about September 2017 and I am continuously averaging about -10 on LR. LR is seriously my kryptonite :( and many times I feel that this will never change. I decided to push my test back to June 2018, in hopes that I can hopefully reach a -3 on LR or better (hopefully). Would love to hear any feedback on how I can better my chances and finally reach my goal. Happy studying :)

Why is "E" not the correct answer?

-Galindo starts up off his response with a broad generalization of a phenomenon "an oil industry background is no guarantee of success", and then uses a single instance of said phenomenon to support his claim.
