@btownsquee said: Hi! Is there space here? I think I would like to join. I study around 2 hours per day during the week and ~4-5 hours on the weekend. It would be great to have a group to check in with. I really hope to get the score I wa…

He answered this in a thread a while back, his original score was a 173.

@acsimon said: As you've said, the heuristic is usually helpful but not always. I usually consider games with repeats where there's more than 3-4 group categories as apt for a chart. For instance, if 5 or 6 repair people can either be certifi…

I don't know that I really "want" to be a lawyer. I would probably prefer a career in finance, but for many reasons that's not practical for me. I think becoming a lawyer is a practical occupation that matches my skills well. I think it will also pu…

It definitely varies. It's just like in undergrad some of my profs would walk around during tests and others would leave the room entirely. I would recommend taking some PTs in a public place if only to get used to people being up and around you.

@"law hopeful" said: @"Alex Divine" Lol I didn't really give it much thought until I read some of the discussions... I didn't even know it was something to be worth discussed lol Ohhhh.... It's worth it alright. Staedtler Noricas are great p…

@CurlyQQQ said: Studying for the February 2018 LSAT anyone else? Am I the first to post? Is it necessary to study for this long period of time? Will anyone ever see my topic? Find out next year! Is it necessary, no. You can take the test wit…

Take the test when you are confident you can reach your potential. period. Take PT81 on Saturday in the library with the 7Sage proctor, that will be a good gauge of what you'd have scored. You know you can hit the upper 160s, and honestly once many…

@CurlyQQQ said: I've spoken to a couple of law students who have started out at one law school and transferred into a T14. Is this full proof? Or will a T14 look into your current law school's ranking for your consideration? I wonder about thi…

@"law hopeful" said: I've read discussions regarding the best types of pencils and sharpeners to use... I've been using Papermate HB#2 and have had no issue with them!! Does it really matter? (and along with which type of sharpener to buy/use?…

@moniquebabygirl2 said: I am a little lost as to how I should begin to study. Any advice? I have about 5 months to study. Should I take a test a day? Absolutely do not take a test a day. That's probably the least efficient way to prep for th…

A nature valley bar, some Goldfish crackers, and some carrot sticks. This is what I generally munch on everyday and I know it won't make me lethargic or make me sick.

What a great way to gain confidence before Saturday! Congrats that's freakin' awesome

My understanding is that now those with accommodated testing are required to take an experimental section. I'm also 99.9% certain it will be a different test than that given to test takers on the 16th.

@Euthyphro said: However, it is sufficient to weed out those who don't have the skills. Agreed! @Hannah56 said: I completely agree. People are taking years of their lives to study for this damn test. what difference does it make if o…

@"J. Tharp" said: @"Alex Divine" @AllezAllez21 you guys are right, of course. And thank you. I am trying to stay positive. I'm trying to bypass the highly logical mind that this test has instilled in me and believe in a kind of karma that n…

So I disagree with your views on the LSAT needing to be revamped or that it isn't a good predictor of law school success. Like any other standardized test, the LSAT isn't perfect, but it really does a great job at funneling students to the schools w…

I listen to a lot of classical before I take a test or prep, I find it really helps my brain to get going! Check out the London Festival Orchestra's "Mozart for Brain Power"

I would also vote to include it as well. There are no hard and fast rules about including volunteer work on your resume. Also, 3 months of volunteer work is a perfectly acceptable amount of time to feel comfortable including on your resume.

Nope, there's no difference between February tests. Often when people take a test and score highly they go into the next test with more confidence. I believe that in itself can lead to a score increase. The only thing I've noticed was that PT A and…

@TaylorAnn said: This study group is turning out to be very popular LOL! Will it be a problem if I've done some of the PTs before? I've studied using The LSAT Trainer and have done some of the PTs in the 50s as a result. Will that be ok? …

@canadalegalbiz said: Please add me to the group. I am looking to take it in Feb/June. Had to take some time out due to work etc I am now ready to get it done with this group! So happy to hear that @canadalegalbiz. Welcome

@spitzy11 This is awesome. I'm a big fan of focusing on mentality just as much as specific LSAT prep!

@sakox010 said: @jkatz1488 said: In terms of translating each rule individually, I think you guys are kind of exaggerating how much time it takes. For me, it's only an extra 15-20 seconds to write A - B etc. for each rul…

20 point increase just from going through the CC is nothing short of amazing. Congrats! I truly believe you have the ability to score as high as you want on this exam. Keep up the great work!

@sakox010 Pure sequencing games should really be the easiest type of game to master. I used to have trouble with those too using Powerscore's shitty tree method. Watch some 7Sage videos and see how JY diagrams them. You'll be able to get them down i…

Hey @elisajelley , Here are some games to check out before you sit for the September exam. It's by no means an exhaustive list, but it will get you started and hopefully others can add more. Challenging Logic Games PT 77 game 3 PT 79 game 4 PT …
