I look for modifiers as "clues" to discover the mystery of the passage. i know this sounds silly, but I have a tough time also. So as I am reading, I see, how many people thought this? Ohhh, some people thought this. How often did they see the resul…

I took a break after December test, after doing much worse then my average score. I came back, and started doing rigid timed prep test one day. The next day I would do my Blind Review. The 3rd day I go through the ones I missed, and see where I went…

I struggle, but I look for hidden modifier or qualifiers and I think of them as little clues as to figure out the argument or in my mind, "the game". I know it's silly, but it keeps my mind active, especially with some of the passages I have no natu…

I buy my ink at 4inkjets.com and they are crazy cheap. I'll go through ebates to get the extra 10-15% back also. I've gotten one bad cartridge in all the years I've bought from them, so it's really good deal from the cost of Staples or whatever. Som…

Have you tried playing Puzzle Barron's Logic Games? It's a game book you can get from Amazon for about $13. I played them all the time before studying for LSAT. I have an average score of -0 to -3 on LG. They really are very similar and they help ge…

It depends of where you want to work, and what you want to do. There are other considerations also, but really law school gets you contacts and opportunities. It doesn't make you a good lawyer. I've worked for crappy lawyers who went to top 5 school…

I will have problems if I missed something in the rules. The answer choice won't just jump out at me. What I do now to help is I'll read the whole thing first. Second, I'll write them down in short hand. Third, I'll reread and ensure I got the corre…

I'm doing the same thing, for the same reasons. I'm just plugging along. My PT scores are much higher then before my Dec. test, but I don't know. Sometimes, I just don't get a question's reasoning, and after a year of studying, I'm finally starting…

It's name recognition and access to opening doors. It depends on what you want to do, and where you want to work. If you want to be on the Supreme Court, most likely you would want to go to a school that has access (professors, alumni, programs) tha…

UGA is my choice also!

I loved to play Puzzle Baron's Logic Puzzles before I started LSAT studying. It is exactly like the LG section, but is set up to show relationships, and how things affect other game pieces. That helped me initially understand what type of board I wo…

Review CC. I would focus on weaknesses once you start hitting in the 160s on timed PT. That way you know you have some stuff under your belt. I only go back and review CC stuff I don't normally miss after taking timed PT. I review weakly the stuff I…

No, I'm doing June test now. I kind of figured as much, but some of these schools are relentless. I thought, maybe there is a strong demand for middle age hispanic woman with average scores. ????

I started with powerscore. Could not get how bored I was. Wasn't learning anything. I took a tutor class at the local community college, and the lawyer saod she used 7sage while she had studied for her LSAT. I started using it for LG hacks when I ha…

As someone with many years in a professional career and having an opportunity to hire people, I would say no. If you can work it into your personal statement maybe ok. If you have to go to an interview I would say it could be a great idea, but know …

32.1.23 32.1.25 Just a couple of the ones I've noticed today, but I've seen them elsewhere. I just wasn't sure if they were an LSAT writer's clue in narrowing my answer choices down when I see a double negative, I have good odds it's the correct …

As a paralegal, having worked with a number of lawyers, I would say no. It would be fairly uncomfortable, and might put your lawyer in an awkward position to have to say no. Plus, he might charge you for it!!! Best to keep it to former professors o…

I got it, and I helped skew the results as well, graduating from college almost 20 years ago as well DawnHenry.

I took almost 20 years off before applying for law school, and I don't consider it a failure. But, you really don't know how you did on your test. I would just chill the anxiety a bit, and breathe. If you feel like you need to continue studying, and…

Are you starting right away? Or are giving it a couple of days? I'm obviously playing on the DB because I can't seem to make myself focus. I plan on doing drills and working on my timing for LR. RC is my weakest weakness. Or is it my strongest w…

I would say that 7sage's LG is much clearer and easier to follow then Manhattan Prep. I like LG, and I do well in it naturally, but 7sage helped me with how to layout a bit cleaner, setting up multiple boards, and helped me with my timing. I am a …

I feel the same. I breezed through first 3 sections. No issues really stood out, only four questions throughout the RC, LR, LG I struggled with. After the 15 minute break, I crashed and burned. I did OK-ish on the 2nd LG, I answered all the question…

I had 4, but I only used the pencil I got ONE 170 a couple of days ago. I hope it worked again!
-
I breezed through 1st three sections. I hit a plateau and by the 5th section, I was done by question 19. I had a hard time finishing reading much less comprehending those last couple of LR questions. RC seemed ok. LG nothing too far out there. For…
-
Honestly, I did well on RC. Which, normally I struggle with RC. I have always been a strong reader, but timed throws me off my understanding. I average about -8 to -10 normally. This time I got -3. My LG score was typical, -1, and my LR scores were …

Yes, I see what you were saying of over assuming. I do that a lot.

I know this is an old post, but I just wanted to say thank you. It clarified why I was having such a hard time with these questions. On my last PT, I missed 0 of the MSS questions, and in my drills, I missed 0. Finally.

I have had a lot of good answer choice predictions from recognizing the flaw. Once I can ID the flaw, and then correspond it to the question stem, I can verbalize (in my head.) what the correct answer choice might be. Sometimes I am way off because …

I got certified as a Paralegal, and I met a lot of lawyers/judges and other Paralegals that were in their mid-40s who have been overwhelming helpful. If you have a community college that offers a certificate program, it could be a good start. My cer…
