@"Pink Dust" 's advice is perfect. Skipping on LR will help tremendously. It's better to know you're getting 3 super hard questions wrong because you skipped them, but gaining 3-5 easy questions right because you had time to do them rather than poss…

Here's a link to a bunch of scales for PTs: http://lsatblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/lsat-preptest-raw-score-conversion.html Looks like you have to get between 55 and 67 questions right to score within 150-155 range. That works out to averaging about…

Wow! Thanks so much. I've enjoyed helping others and learning plenty myself. Glad to be part of such an amazing community.
-
Not sure I am adding much here, but I completely agree with the above comments. I don't treat it like a math problem. I treat it like a game. Games are fun. Especially as you get further into the fool proofing process and your proficiency increase…

@stephgmeister As Dennis mentioned, it's from Spivey Consulting. They're not a dedicated podcast per se, just a general admissions consulting firm. I'd recommend googling them and reading their blogs, etc. I don't listen to any other podcasts on t…

Agree with everything said above. Start from the beginning of 7Sage and go through it step by step in order.

So I think you've got the language issue sorted out. I'm only quickly glancing over this game, so I am not 100% sure on the rules and stuff, but the board for this set up, where G is T1 and K is T2, looks like this to me: 1 2 G H Q …
-
I see what you're getting at, but the reason you can make that leap is because it is implied in the language of the question stem. The question stem says that a particular letter must be assigned to that position when G and K are assigned to those g…

The link below is a compilation of remarks/diaries of people who were successful in taking the LSAT. I have found it to be very useful and encouraging. http://lsatblog.blogspot.com/2012/12/101-tips-improve-your-lsat-score-book.html?m=1 The biggest…

I saw an 8 point increase between my diagnostic and my first post curriculum PT. I quickly gained a few more points in subsequent tests as I became more used to taking an entire test under timed conditions. In the roughly 9 weeks since I finished t…
-
I think you should take a short break now, maybe 3-5 days. It would be better to lose a bit of time studying, come back refreshed for the final 3 weeks, and be ready to go for the test than to keep slogging away and potentially really burn out right…

I would say that 'most' is certainly stronger than 'some.' I would not say that 'most' always strengthens the argument. You need to look for contextual clues within the stimulus to indicate whether or not 'most' is sufficient to strengthen the argu…

My interpretation of the phrase "invariably drop off between noon and sunset," is that IF they are going to drop off on a certain day, then they will do it between noon and sunset, NOT that they must drop off every day. So, the tick attaches and be…

@"nessa.k13.0" Awesome response! And thank you for bringing in good, hard evidence and thoughtfulness. 7sage is such a great community because it's really about being sincere and helpful and you are a big part of that. I do not question that emplo…

@RafaelBernard Very good advice. You brought up many important pieces of information. LRAP should not be taken for granted. http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2017/04/05/522575533/teachers-lawyers-and-others-worry-about-the-fate-of-student-debt-forgi…

I just reviewed my first video recorded LR section. My biggest takeaway, and this might not apply to other people, is that by spinning my wheels further on a question, I am really just solidifying my incorrect thought process and if anything am like…
-
I think you've already hinted at a two possible solutions: Do warm up problems. I try to do at least one logic game and at least 5 LR questions before beginning a PT. If you know LR is especially your weakness in the 1st section, maybe do 8-10 LR …

Sorry to spam here, but you also might find this tool helpful: https://www.lstreports.com/compare/gulc/northeastern/duke/ You can compare employment and cost stats between schools. I recognize that there are so many factors that go into a law scho…
-
The above advice is good. I think it depends on career choice, how much need based financial aid you could get at the other schools, and what actions you are going to take to get into those schools. If it's not a ton of work to just wait and see w…
-
I think you're asking about the 3 days immediately prior to taking a test. I've heard from sages through other forum posts and webinars that you should just relax during these days. Taking a test is not advised within the last few days of prep. Jus…

my entire focus shifted from the prep-test to the blind review. rather than getting discouraged by a low actual score i became excited by a high blind review score This mindset just really helped me. I took a test yesterday and scored well belo…
-
Personally, I would print another copy. I think practicing what to underline/circle/scribble is important. But, I definitely realize how much paper that can go through.
-
Absolutely possible. Especially if your weakest section is games. If you do the foolproof method, you should be able to make solid improvement in two months. I have increased my score by 13 points (from diagnostic to last 3 PT avg) since I started …

Hi @StellaBlue, As an ultimate+ member, you will be able to print out the drills for RC. I realize that for the other videos, you cannot do that. I might suggest buying the three 10 Actuals books that cover nearly all LSAT preptests from 9-35. Tha…

The LG bundle can be found at the bottom of the core curriculum on the syllabus page, if you have Ultimate+. It's just after the LR Drills, and just before the section "Resources for taking simulated LSATs."
-
Congratulations!
-
For LR, I would really just go back to the curriculum and take extensive notes for each questions type. I also definitely recommend the LSAT Trainer, a book by Mike Kim. It does an extremely great job of cultivating the right mindset for LR, and it…
-
Congrats!!
-
Seems like a lot of the sages around here recommend drilling by PT, for the exact reason you cited: you want to train your mind to have to recognize game type.

I posted this podcast just the other day on another thread, but I'll repost it here. It is two highly respected former admissions officers talking about application timing. http://blog.spiveyconsulting.com/podcast-when-is-it-early-when-is-it-late-i…
