Really long conditional logic chains without clear logical indicators slow me down. And the "math" like problems slow me down (when an MBT reads like an Algebra prompt it hurts my time without fail).
-
I like their RC stuff.

I didn't even know "LSAT watches" were a thing. It basically just looks like an analogue stop watch that has the added drawback of only going for 35 minutes at a time...

@dcdcdcdcdc said: I made side 1 of flash card the "premises" (e.g., A-most->B->C) then made side 2 the conclusion to be drawn (in this case, A-most->C). That is the key point of memorizing these forms: to draw the inferences, or other…

The only other one that I've heard good things about, even from J.Y. is "The LSAT Trainer" which I also own. I'm planning on using it if I struggle with a teaching method on 7Sage or if I have extra time. I also occasionally use it to review a conce…

@tanes256 the 7Sage app is just called 7Sage in the app store I'm pretty sure? Or do you mean the fitness app? It's called Freeletics.

@Freddy_D said: @rene4231 Yeah, it may take a little while. If you're impatient, like I was, you can use this LSAC GPA calculator that I found online. You just input your grades and it'll spit out your GPA. It was pretty accurate for me h…

I don't think this was mentioned already and it's a tad off topic. But the end result of my Blind Review for all sections (but I'm only on LR right now), is any question I got wrong on Raw Score and Blind Review immediately goes into a "hard questio…

Thanks! It does help

I'm currently giving my community college self who didn't even think I was going to go to college a high five because it appears those community college grades made all the difference.

So at the end of this past week I got pretty ill and the result was crappy studying followed by crappy studying this week as I had to catch up at work. But I learned a new method that I find helpful! I went to the LR Drills and printed just the one…

Question: how do you time per question easily?

@sarahmelton6 said: I began to wonder if my part-time studying was even paying off. A few weeks ago I completed 50% of CC and jumped ahead to take a PT. I scored 5 points higher than my diagnostic. That's awesome! I took the June 07 as a dia…

Also, one thing that kind of makes "studying fun" is the minor gamification 7Sage uses on the "Progress" page. There's something inherently satisfying when you see the core curriculum progress circle fill in a bit more.
-
I blind reviewed what I could (mostly LR questions of a type I'd already studied) and then left the questions I had NO IDEA about for blind review another day. The thing is 7Sage tracks what you got wrong (if you're using their LSAT Analytics tool) …

@"Alex Divine" said: p.s. Learn to like this test. It may sound crazy, but one major change between now and the "me" when I first started was how I see the LSAT. It's like a cube in that you can look at it from many sides. The old me looked …

I'm not studying at your pace because I'm working. But I'd be happy to BR when I get to the other PTs. Work in Glendale/live in Long Beach spend a fair amount of time on the west side as well.
-
My office is in Glendale. I'm down. Although I'm more aiming at the September test so I'm taking my time to really dive deep into 7Sages core curriculum and LSAT Trainer.
-
I'm in the Long Beach area but life and work takes me to the Westside, Downtown, and Glendale/Los Feliz/Atwater Area pretty frequently. I thought once folks get far enough in CC (or even in CC) we could BR drill sets with each other and do prep tes…
-
Daniel that was really helpful! Thank you. I'm definitely going to need to make sure my letters of rec are strong and my application is well crafted.
-
Congrats! This is awesome
-
I love Meditation Studio! It has short meditations for every sort of situation from an important job interview, to general anxiety, to prepping for bed on top of general meditation courses to develop the skill of meditating.
-
Thanks @"Dillon A. Wright" just the encouragement I needed today after a busy day at work/a day without LSAT prep.
-
I don't want to totally hijack your thread. But I'm really curious about law school prep courses in general. Do any of these actually give you an edge or nah?
-
I think this is a question for @"Dillon A. Wright"
-
Welp. Did the June 2007 Prep Test as a diagnostic today and blind reviewed everything I felt I could blind review with any sort of accuracy/usefulness. 156 Raw Score 159 after Blind Review Clear trends the diagnostic revealed: I still don't know…
