@Bamboosprout I think I said something along the lines of "in an attempt to make their material engaging, they veered too far into joke-y. It came off as corny to me and as a result, distracted me from the material itself".
For what it's worth, I s…
Interestingly, Michigan claimed in their scholarship offer to me that they do not negotiate. Their offer was more than I expected and I am thrilled by it so no skin off my back. However, FYI to other applicants. Here is their actual wording:
"Pleas…
@Alice003 @ML_LSAT_Killa @jhbm_nyc Yes we can speak about this.
If PT 37 is fresh for you, take a look at these questions and see if you can ID the repeating structure of each stimulus in abstract terms. For example "Jack could've cheated on the …
Thanks @keets993. I updated that link and sharing it here too. This one should work.

I think LR BR is the most complex of these topics so that's what I'l use to open up the session. You can see the slide here:

Thinking about some topics for this week's intro. If you have an interest in hearing my 2 cents on any one of the following topics for 5 minutes to kick off the Office Hourse, holler!
Meditation
BR exercises and approach
My approach to LG (spoile…
It is rare, but possible, to reach high 160s to low 170s in 3 months but it does seem pretty rare. If you share your practice scores we can share some tips.
Honestly, no one can answer this question without knowing what you've scored on your most recent PTs (taken under test day conditions) and your average score in each section.
Yup. Agreed with above.
In my case, I used lots of PTs between 40-84 for timed PTs, BRed them thoroughly, and returned to questions that gave me difficulty once and awhile afterward. By test day, I was prepared for whatever material they threw at m…
This was the approach I used to score high 160s/low 170s consistently. The only difference was that for the 2-3 I answered but was only 60% sure on, I used a little squiggly instead of s circle so that I knew not to return to it unless I had time le…
@Alice003 Hi Alice. No problem.
I'd recommend stepping away from PTs and the Test Master material for the time being. Focus on moving through the 7sage core curriculum diligently (not rushed) and post questions/explanations in the forum and the cur…
Here is the iPhone holder I mentioned you can use to record yourself.

@"Always Be Closing" @username_hello thank you! I’m glad you found it helpful and I appreciate the questions.
One thing I wanted to add is that when you’re “following the bread crumbs” for a question you got wrong, it’s important to think about whe…
I've been working with 7Sage admissions and we were left scratching our heads when I was Waitlisted at Georgetown based on my numbers. David passed my file over to Selene and she gave us her opinion.
I was very impressed with Selene's notes on my a…
P.S.
I've been in your shoes. I had no idea how to improve on this test when I started studying and the internet/friends/family were providing all sorts of conflictive (usually unhelpful) advice. 2 years later, I scored a 174 and that was made poss…
You could not have studied the 7Sage course and some Trainer courses in any useful way in 2 months while taking several PTs. What is your goal score?
My advice is to stop PTing, go through the 7Sage core curriculum thoroughly, and listen to the fol…
@"rachael.shapiro"
I think my biggest obstacle is learning to be OK with skipping. My test-taking skills naturally predispose me to approach every question, in order, and give it my best go before moving on.
Been there. You're not alone. Very …
A 160 would mean answering 10 more questions correct from your 155. This is no small feat. The fastest gains on this test tend to come from LG. If you were to start foolproofing LG now and go -0 in January you might (depending on the curve) hit your…
@keets993 Interesting question. My 174 came on an undisclosed test and I understood v little about undisclosed tests until afterwards. It's my understanding that undisclosed tests tend to be older, recycled tests. So it makes sense to consider study…

Hi Iris. This will be an open-ended, unrecorded forum to discuss all things LSAT. If you have admissions questions, those would be better directed to David in his Office Hours this Wednesday (the last for this year) https://7sa…
If there are any other Burgh folks out there who are interested in meeting, we are looking at a few times for this week: Wednesday after 11:30 am, any time Thursday, or Friday after 11:30 am.
All of mine have come a at the end of the day on Mondays or Fridays (mostly Fridays). Then again, I've received a personal assurance from an adcom on decision timing. Best of luck!
