@pcainti said: Feel like I'm in the minority here, but I do the stimulus first. It's generally worked for me - I like to get a big-picture idea of what the stimulus is saying and then figure out what they want. It definitely works for some p…

@sophie74 said: If you are BRing at 180, you should not sell yourself short and aim for a 161. Aim for 170+, you have the capacity. This. Also, if you are BRing at this level, I would certainly take some time off and evaluate some of your i…

@Victoria14 said: Hi everyone, If you've been following my struggle you will know I got pretty faint of heart recently when I took a timed LR at 30% done with the course and received -11. I just finished up the LR section of the CC (Aroun…

@Victoria14 said: It's SUPER common! It happens to me relatively often and a good friend of mine consistently. Something about the cogs in your brain greased and ready. Before you next PT, do 15-20 LR questions at random and then start your PT…

Question stem fo' sure! Though I suppose I can understand PS's reasoning for advocating reading the Stim first.

@dhnh1234 said: I might be losing it. I'm plateauing in the low to mid 160's (162-166) and I'm aiming for a 172+. With only weeks left to go to the September exam, should I postpone to December? Is it even possible for me to see that kind of a…

Hey @achen013, First I want to say that the webinar will answer many of your questions and concerns. I think it's one of the most helpful webinars on 7Sage so I'm happy to hear you're currently watching it -- take notes! After finishing the core …

Here's a pretty good article from ATL that talks specifically about Asians and affirmative action: http://abovethelaw.com/2017/08/as-asian-americans-become-more-pivotal-in-the-affirmative-action-debate-both-sides-weigh-in/

Like @LSATcantwin said, it could be many things. The first thing I'd recommend doing is figuring out if there is a pattern to the question types which you are missing. I've found that by using my iPhone to record my timed sections/PTs, I am much e…

@christinajma said: Hi all, I'm new to the 7sage community, so its my first time posting! I made a big mistake and missed the deadline for the September exam. (It's like a nightmare come true) I'm currently on a 2 month study leave (aug 1…

Your dilemma is often talked and written about by admissions professionals. The real reason they generally advise students to stay away from these topics is that they are rarely written well. @"Cant Get Right" nailed it when he mentioned staying awa…

Amen! @"Cant Get Right" and @nicholasthomas127 Having confidence in yourself is a necessary condition for doing well on this test. Keep that mindset and I promise nothing will stop you

@jennybbbbb said: Are the MP questions in PT1-35 representative of the MP questions on the newer tests? I know how to find the conclusion and main point, but for some reason I do not seem to get all of them right even though I should when I am…

@rockynroll said: Thanks for the great feedback - will work on one of my own once I get a better grasp of all the different q-types. Still in that "incubation" phase (30% through the curriculum)... Of course! And if you're still in the learn…

@rockynroll said: Hi. My first post and was just wondering if JY has done anything like a concise summary (cheat sheet .pdf) that distills the initial "plan of attack" for each of the various LR question types. What I mean is, after reading th…

@Freddy_D said: The quote that I printed out is from the LSAT Trainer: "May your curse in life be that your hard work is constantly mistaken for talent" Let's dominate, y'all!!! LOVE that quote, Freddy!

@"marvin.dike" said: Does anyone know what he got on the LSAT he took to get into Harvard? I want to say a 173, but I'm not 100% sure where I saw that.

Hey @escarr_12 , If you're having any issue with confusion of necessary/sufficient, I would simply recommend going back to the basics and reviewing those lessons. These are too important and there's really no good substitute then just making sure y…

I think JY would get a 180 or close. The man, the myth, the legend, understands this test on such a deep level. Like @"Cant Get Right" said, he may* need to get back into test taking "shape," but I know if he did that he could score a 180 on a new t…

@mel_explainable said: Someone please please tell me this is just an anomaly and that everything is going to be okay lol (seriously freaking out here) I scored a 157 today on PT #69, my lowest score since the second week of May (when I st…

Simply put, as a result of many of the games repeating nearly identical inferences, if you commit these inferences to memory you will be able to more quickly and easily diagram and solve the games. I think of it a lot like muscle memory. If you've e…

@uhinberg said: I think most people use games from PT 1-35, so they can save the later stuff for full-length tests. Yeah, I do every game I come across, but make sure to do PTs 1-35 or 1-40 to build a good foundation before going forward.

@Aidoe said: $400 just for resumes doesn't sound too great. I wouldn't think resume's are that big of a deal. To be honest, I used to think the same thing. After reading several books by admissions professionals and ex-deans of admissions, i…

@tcookPHL said: I'm having a tough time with this as well. I have been out of school for three years and I would say my job resembles more of how I would do in law school/legal world rather than my academic history. I received great grades, bu…

Nice score! One thing that might help is after taking a timed PT to not just redo the test but to do a proper blind review. This means you want to go through the questions you circled untimed and examine them on a deep level. This means breaking do…
