Major congrats. You obviously worked super hard and earned every point. Best of luck with admissions!

@evanescence I totally understand the struggle of figuring out how to approach LR questions. I experimented with a bunch of approaches before settling on one. To answer your question, before I go into the answer choices, I do a couple of things. Fi…

I think you should accept the premises as true, as it will pay off 99% of the time. I've done probably 50+ PTs worth of LR questions, and I can only think of maybe two or three instances where I've heard JY and other commenters on explanation videos…

It's possible to struggle with many parts of the LR section. Before I, or anyone else, can help, I think it would be helpful for you to answer a few questions. Do you typically run out of time on LR before completing the last question? Do you typica…

I haven't applied with cancelled tests or spoken to any admissions folks, but my gut tells me cancelling probably wouldn't be that helpful in your situation. I imagine that anyone in admissions would just assume your cancelled score is lower than a …

I completed the 7Sage core curriculum in its entirety and drilled the logic games from PTs 1-35 before I began taking weekly PTs. I often drilled problem sets or entire sections from older tests while I completed the curriculum, but I didn't see muc…

Way to show those Reddit folks who's boss haha. Seriously, though, congratulations!

Congratulations! You earned it!

Which question?

If it's a consistent trend it's likely fatigue or not being used to having to transition back to easier questions at the beginning of a new LR section. If you notice that your scores drop on 4th sections of tests, regardless of section type, it's pr…

Which passage?

As you allude to, according to the 7Sage predictor, your odds are pretty similar for both. Seeing as predictors can never give definitive odds, it's hard to say whether the thirteen-percentage point difference between your odds at the two schools is…

Which question?
-
I don't have any concrete evidence to back my claim, but I assume that if you cancel your score most admissions folks will just assume you scored lower than 165 on your second attempt. After all, what would be the point in cancelling your score if y…

Which question?

@julianmcdaniel Yeah, I don't think you can go wrong with a binder or multiple binders. They're easy to organize. I haven't used a binder to foolproof so I'm not sure exactly how I'd set one up, but I'm sure you could put together something neat pre…
-
If you're going to be taking the test with pencil and paper, then I think the binder approach would be wise. If you're not receiving the pencil and paper accommodation, however, I'd advise you begin attempting the problems in their virtual form as p…

@2tUSSCs-1-1-1-1 Sorry to see your question went unanswered. I remember when I first saw that sentence about being unable to edit institutions in the future I was shocked. I was positive that I knew which institutions I'd attended, for how long, and…
-
For what it's worth, in-out games are actually a type of grouping game. They're just grouping games with two groups. Additionally, all of the logic game "categories" are totally arbitrary. Teachers and teaching programs just group similar games to h…
-
I'm almost positive LSAC stated that people retesting will have the same score release date. I saw it in a communication they released addressing the proctoring troubles. I can't remember the exact statement, though, so don't take what I'm saying as…
-
Since you're still struggling with the questions in review when you're not timing yourself, it sounds like difficulty may be the only factor affecting your performance, aside from any possible mental block or anxiety you may have with the last few q…
-
I like to take tests in the modern format then add a random section from a different PT as a fourth section. That way, I still take a 4 section test, which is what we'll have on test day, but only 1 LR section is scored. If you don't simulate modern…
-
I generally like to attempt a game, watch the explanation video (unless I easily completed it under the target time and with 100% percent accuracy), immediately attempt the game again, attempt it again the next day, and the attempt it one more time …
-
Yes, speed certainly comes as you get more comfortable with the way the LSAT is written and the things questions typically expect you to pay attention to. Additionally, it's normal to feel anxious at the start of timed sections and, as a result, pos…
-
For in-and-out games, you're being told they can't both be in the in-group. That means at least one must be in the out-group. So both are allowed to be together in the out-group, or just one in the out-group, but they can't be together in the in-gro…
-
"Neither nor" means both G and K are not in row 1. Even if G is in row 2, K still cannot be in row 1. The opposite is true, as well.
-
It's hard to say without knowing exactly how you're struggling. One thing I try to keep in mind while reading the stimulus for a MBT question is we're not allowed to bring in even the smallest amount of outside information. It doesn't matter if the …

Been away for a few days so I'm just seeing this. Thanks a ton @"Juliet --Student Service--" and everyone else on the 7Sage team! Also, I'm glad to hear some of my comments have been useful to you @jessica8871. Just trying to give back to the forums…
-
Nobody knows yet. I believe some prep companies have hinted at communicating with LSAC, which is where that June/July 2024 prediction comes from, but nothing is certain. As you alluded to, though, there will be a heads up, and it will be at least a …
-
I typically complete a game, then if I didn't get all of the questions right or didn't complete it under the target time I'll watch the explanation video then attempt it again. After that, I'll attempt it once the next day then one more time a week …
