I'm really struggling with concepts of validity.... I've done the drills, but it's not making sense to me.
Looking for suggestions on how to best understand and apply validity to LR. Any suggestions on learning tips&a…

I agree with those saying it would be best to nix powerscore. Those books don't mix well with the 7sage curriculum. PS shows you tricks where as 7sage shows you the theory and application of certain lessons. If you encount…

Sounds good @"Alex Divine"
For what it is worth. I don't know your age, but I'm 33. I took nearly 10 years off after undergrad, traveled and lived abroad for 5 years by myself, wrote and published a ton, was a hospi…

You would also put in the ones you got wrong but thought you got right. This will give you a BR score, which you will aim to increase separately from your timed score. The BR score will function as a measure of your theore…

I'm very much a visual learner, so Powerscore's visual diagramming has been helpful for me. However I kinda agree with the sentiment that some of Powerscore's techniques makes things more complicated then they need to be. I re…

I would not use power score at all. This and maybe the LSAT trainer is all you need.
I don't like to say Powrscore isn't good, but damn I'd like anyone to make an argument that 7Sage isn't better in every way! Especially whe…

Big congrats! I really respect your dedication and hard work to doing well.

Great work @"Alex Divine" I'm quitting my job Oct.1to study full time for the December test. Bookmarking this for future reference!
That's awesome! Fortunately or unfortunately I ended up having to go back to work. I got…

ok, that makes sense. The BR feature is super useful!
It is absolutely a god send. I don't know how on Earth people accurately kept track of where they needed to this amount of accuracy before this feature. 7Sage is too goo…

@ElleWoods77 yeah I think it is a good idea to have that flexibility, and thanks for the support!

Ahhh you'll have everything but 81, so you'll be good It still is silly, but perhaps it will come out a bit early. October does seem a bit on the later side.

yeah not sure if I want to work internationally, but it would be good to have the option open.
You think Harvard is more respected than Yale internationally?
I wouldn't use the world respected, a…

Fair point. I'll try some with no erasing and compare timing. It may be that the saved time in answering one ore two questions is worth the time spent writing out sub game boards again. Worth a try

How should I best handle questions I didn't get to (due to running out of time) while inputting answers into 7sage analytics?

If you want to work internationally, HLS is the better choice. It's more well known globally than even Yale. If you plan to practice in the states, HLS/Y seems like the better choice, still. If you plan on living and working in Canada U of T is the …

This may be a stupid question but do you have to talk about being a URM somewhere in your application to get a URM boost or to feel like you are giving yourself the best options to throw the URM boost in your favor?
No, …
7Sage is the way to go and it is definitely not worth learning any other system, especially for LG. Logic games is hand downs best learned by a 7Sage approach. The reason: There is no approach or philosophy. No gimmicks, no extra BS to memorize. Jy …

I started looking around and found this article that came out pretty recently. It has some numbers/% I hadn't seen aggregated that's pretty interesting:
http://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/do-underrepresented-minority-urm…
Mylsn.info has the best options to look up to see applicants' numbers and where they have been accepted, rejected, and scholarship money offered.
ETA: opps this thread is also 2 year old. lol
