  • Honestly, you're probably better off just not doing any more work in a substantial way. You're not likely to learn anything groundbreaking in the next 72 hours, whereas a drastically decreased motivation WILL hurt you. I personally recommend you ju…
  • You can do it. This is just PrepTest 81. It's nothing special. It's just like all the others. The others that you relentlessly prepared for and know how to crush. This is your chance to shine. Embrace the moment as your platform to show just how go…

  • Based on your other thread, I am guessing you are taking in September; I am too. At this point, I do not have a dedicated day off. Life intervenes enough that I usually get a day or two off every 7-10 days. Generally, I like Sami's method of just p…
  • If you can get your BR score consistently into the 170s, that will be a strong indication that your skills and knowledge are greatly improved. Do you have a skipping strategy practiced and nailed down solid for LR? I think the CC is beneficial. It…
  • @"Alex Divine" The Avantree one works just fine. It's a little bit more expensive than some of the others, but it's also a little longer and slightly higher rated than many. I think it does the job...
  • @dantlee14 said: a school could question your judgment as an applicant - there was a really useful law school admissions seminar someone shared a few months ago where one admissions officer specifically mentioned that as a negative). I saw …
  • I use the avantree cell phone clip holder. Google that and it'll pop up. It's basically a long arm deal that holds a cell phone. I clip it onto the table and point the phone down onto the test. Then you can see the test and my hands.
  • Have you taken any real tests before? If not, you might think about just taking it. Schools will not look at your lower score, and if you had two takes (June and September) that's not going to cause an issue with admissions. You could also take and …
  • I look at a statement plus its negation as encompassing 0 to 100. So most is from 51 to 100. Therefore not most is from 0-50.
  • @therealnas @cgracia12 Technically, no. But if you do it lightly you should have a few seconds at the end to erase. I think even if you didn't end up erasing, it wouldn't mess up the scantron.

  • @nathanieljschwartz I set a 30 minute limit for myself initially. Worst case, you just start trying out hypotheticals and brute forcing the game and maybe it gives you some insight. If I still don't have it after 30 minutes then I stop and watch th…
  • @tmickjr__ said: @"Alex Divine" said: Aiming for this December. Maybe next year. Whenever I am scoring those sweet 180s. HYS or bust I'm all for perfectionism, but if HYS is your goal you do not need a 180. Although it'll …

  • @nathanieljschwartz Yes, don't get discouraged. When I started out fool proofing it would routinely take me 15 to 20 minutes to complete each game. It took another 3-5 weeks to feel like I was surviving the games, and no until probably about 8-10 w…
  • I agree with @"work all week" Fool proof logic games if you haven't already. Then drill over and over and over again for LR and RC. Fundamentally understand your task for each type of question and then practice the correct problem solving process h…
  • High score is the only thing that matters. Schools do not average scores.
  • I think @Zachary_P has good advice. I don't really use pre phrases. In any case, the key task to do before most LR questions is to really identify the relationship between the support and the conclusion and to recognize how it is flawed. There are …
  • @tringo335 fool proofing explained here: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2737/logic-games-attack-strategy/p1 @tn7sager I would start fool proofing before PTing. After the CC maybe take a few weeks to drill your RC and LR weakness…
  • @kimmy_m66 I think you could. I would probably spend 10-14 days after completing the CC doing fool proofing and drilling what I felt were my biggest weaknesses. Then you could get started on PTing. Especially right after the CC, you probably should…
  • I think the standard recommendation is to do it again until you're under time. Personally, I don't. I like to wait because I feel it challenges me a bit more to really work through the inferences instead of regurgitating them.
  • I agree with Zachary. Do fool proofing as explained here: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2737/logic-games-attack-strategy LG is all about massive amount of repetition on tons of logic games. Abandon your old methods for 7Sage m…
  • It really depends on where you are now vs. where you want to score. Even then, people improve at different rates. I would say 2 PTs a week is about the maximum you can do and hope to really learn from them. So that gives you 20 tests in 10 weeks at…
  • All good advice above. I would say to get started on fool proofing before starting PTs, but you might end up doing both simultaneously. If you start to find that your timed completion of an entire LG section is getting down to below 35 minutes, the…
  • I think my previous post was admin edited for posting a link (sorry for not fully understanding forum rules), but just do a quick google of "do multiple lsat takes matter" and you will see that they absolutely do not. Schools only consider the highe…
  • First off, I'll just run through why the other answers are clearly wrong. A is because economic imprudence is not discussed. C is because "most." D is because "only." E is because "sound." For me, the assumptions that B brings to the table are …
  • If you feel close, I would go ahead and take it. September will be waiting for you if you need it. It's about the ABA only wanting the highest score. I think if you had 5-6 takes on your record then that would be different. But 2 or 3 is fine. All…
  • Good info. The test being administered in November will be very helpful because people will be able to apply before January with it.
  • @"Cant Get Right" said: Another thing that's important is to have a dynamic marking strategy. You should not just be circling any question you want to come back to. A 50/50 should be distinct from a blind guess which should be distinct from hi…
  • I think it's a judgement call as to how well you think you'll be able to answer the questions that you totally skipped. If you blindly guess on a question, you've got a 20% chance of getting it right. If you can eliminate 3 answers after working on…
  • I would argue that Q does in fact offer evidence, it's just horrible evidence. Q uses their current legislator as a counterexample to P's reasoning. This counterexample serves as evidence, even though it's wholly ineffective. Answer E describes the…
