@Matt1234567 Thanks! I've been sitting here constantly checking my email and refreshing the lsac page. I've started to think I did something wrong on the paperwork or bubbled the wrong test. Hopefully I get it soon!

AHHH I still don't have my score! =[

I appreciate all of the feedback everyone. @jdawg113 I will definitely check out TLS, thanks for the advice. I think I will disclose it considering how much of an impact it had on my grades at the beginning of my undergrad, I'm just struggling at t…

Thank you! That's very helpful to help me memorize them! I'd still like to understand how I'm mis-diagramming the Misc. group of logical indicators with that second question with the mammals/cats example, so if anyone has any insight I'd love to hea…

I believe it does and that is why I chose to withdraw from the test before taking it for the September test. Here is a good link to an explanation of withdrawing/canceling/an absence. Hope it helps! http://blueprintlsat.com/lsatblog/lsat-advice/c…

In my opinion I think it would be best to start as early as possible, especially if you'll be working full time. I started studying in July thinking I would take the September test, and I ended up withdrawing before the test and took in December an…

@emli1000 I'm not sure I understand what you mean. In terms of approaching each individual question, I follow the 7sage approach - meaning I read the stem, then the stimulus, then eliminate answer choices, then choose the correct one. But what I me…
-
That's exactly what I do. I go through the questions fast enough so that I have 6-7 min at the end to go back over questions I wasn't sure about - I do this instead of spending more time on those questions initially. I find coming back to them wit…

The LSAT Trainer is a really great resource in terms of Reading Comprehension - I think it was possibly the most helpful part of the book. I found that section to be more helpful in the Trainer than on 7sage, but LR and LG best at 7sage. So I woul…

It sounds like you should sit out this cycle. I was in a similar situation when I was in school last year - I worked (not full time, but enough) and was in school full time. I knew that there was no way I could do my best on the LSAT and my applic…

I started with the LSAT Trainer and then found 7sage and began working here. The LSAT Trainer gave me a good base before beginning here, but I found it more challenging in that I feel it is geared towards someone who already has some LSAT/studying …

I have had a similar problem, but have improved on getting the last questions, especially in the Logical Reasoning sections. The questions get more difficult towards the end, so what I do is make sure I'm getting through the first part fairly quick…

First off, yayy U of Wisconsin! I went there as well. To answer your question though, I have been struggling with the same thing. Its a little different for me however, I also scored a 157 on my December test, however I had been scoring around a 1…

I find that reading the question stem first works best for me, especially concerning timing. If I for some reason forget to do so, I always find myself having to go back and reread the stimulus again, which is a waste of time. My general strategy t…
-
I understand it in a practical sense to mean for every question ask these two things: 1. Descriptively accurate? - whatever the answer choice is claiming that the argument is doing must be accurate 2. Describing the flaw? - is what the argument is d…

I live just outside Milwaukee! I am most likely retaking the LSAT but will decide for sure when I see my December test score on the 5th. If that is the case, I would love to have someone to study with! My email is lbalestrieri@uwalumni.com

I started off studying with the LSAT Trainer before I discovered 7sage. While it was very helpful to me and ultimately helped boost my preptest score, there really wasn't anything in it not covered in the 7sage curriculum. I made a study guide out…
-
It's a lot of work, but you can definitely progress. I started studying in July and my first diagnostic was a 147. I had planned on taking the September LSAT but withdrew it because I wasn't scoring where I needed to, at that time my average was a…
-
I know how you feel! I was awful at logic games and they still are my weakest section. I did the LSAT Trainer before coming to 7sage and I still couldn't even complete half of the questions before time ran out. My worst score was a 29% on them. Afte…
-
That timing sounds like a good plan. I tend to have quite a bit of time left over (5-9 minutes) that I usually go back and re-look at circled questions, but it might be a better use of my time to slow down during the second half then and give more …

I have ADD so also struggle with focusing when studying. I take medication and it does help, but its still something that I struggle with. I find that it takes me much longer than it should to be productive, and many days I find I get nothing done …
-
I find that marking the structure of the passage works best for me - because most of the questions are structure related, not content related. I understand that there are certain elements in each passage: the author's view/opinion, main points, sup…

Thanks for your help!
