Law journals are also a good way to get used to the law passages. For instance: http://harvardlawreview.org/

That's what worked for me (I think?!? waiting for the score release is KILLING ME), but do whatever feels right to you! You don't have much room to improve, so it's really more an issue of keeping the test fresh in your mind.
-
No problem. I was so paranoid that they hadn't received mine that I had the page that paragraph comes from bookmarked! Incidentally, it's here: http://www.lsac.org/jd/lsat/score-cancellations

LSAC says this: Shortly after your written request for score cancellation is processed, LSAC will email you a confirmation. If you do not receive this confirmation within four calendar days after your request was submitted, contact LSAC immediately…

I cancelled my September score and received an email confirmation the next day. If you don't hear anything tomorrow (assuming that you sent it today), give them a call to see what the status of your cancellation is.

I mostly did early PTs (1-35) and re-wrote a few of the later PTs. I also wrote out explanations for questions that I was unsure about. To be honest, though, I was pretty lax about it. I only really started studying again in November, and even then,…
-
First off, PTs are the most important study resource out there -- get your hands on as many of these as you can. Personally, I used 7Sage Ultimate (which includes PTs 36-73) along with PTs 1-35, and I felt totally prepared for the December LSAT. I…
-
I thought that the games were pretty standard. What was really different for me was how spacey I felt during the test; I felt like I was on autopilot, answering the questions without really thinking about them. I ended up with 10+ minutes at the end…
-
The difference between the various 7Sage courses is the number of PTs and questions included in each. If you've done all of the PTs, then the starter course is probably sufficient (assuming that you still have copies of your PTs).
-
I use sections from 1-35 as "experimental" 5th sections when taking full PTs. I also use them for drilling. Since a few sets of each question type are provided in the 7Sage curriculum, I don't find that I needed older tests broken down by type -- I …
-
Are you hitting 175+ when you BR? If so, you're probably mostly having trouble with timing, which can be improved through practice. If not, your fundamentals need work; I would encourage you to consider completing the entire 7sage curriculum. Eithe…
-
If you're having problems understanding the arguments, you might even go back over all of the LR questions that you've done to date and work on identifying the premise and conclusions. Until you can do so consistently, drilling LR isn't necessarily …
-
At my peak, I did 3-4 per week. This may or may not work for you, depending on when you plan to take the exam and how well you understand the material. The issue is that you don't want to burn through PTs too quickly, lest you run out of study mater…
-
I second alexroark5's suggestion. I also try to repeat the question number and answer choice in my head while I'm bubbling to ensure that I haven't skipped over a bubble/question inadvertently.
-
Many people did find it difficult due to the weird pattern game. Have you done the older games (1-35)? They're good practice for curveball games!
-
Pretty sure that the questions about fluency, ethnic background, methods of prep, etc. are just for their statistics. Regardless of the reason behind it, there's no way that it would have any effect on your score!
-
I brought my coat and blanket-sized scarf into the September administration, no problem. The coat even had a hood! But test centers vary in their strictness, so layer under your jacket to avoid any nasty surprises.
-
I gave a bit of a description of the PS bundle here: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/comment/5320
-
@K-Magnet, that's the plan! @The 180 Bro, yes.
-
@chrijani7, I'm starting off by going through all of the questions that I ever got wrong and writing out explanations as to why I got them wrong. I was never great about doing a thorough blind review, so I think this will be helpful in my case. I'll…
-
Thanks for your input! Writing out explanations for questions that I've gotten wrong is a good idea. The crazy thing is that I had been practicing bubbling methods up to test day, but all those good habits just went out the window when it came to …
-
The common wisdom 'round these parts is that you'll score with +/- 3 points of the average of your most recent three tests. If you'll be happy scoring in that range, go ahead and write it -- just don't expect any miracles!
-
Believe me, you'll be able to improve in LG. Do the 7Sage curriculum, practice as much as you can, and eventually it'll become second nature. I hated logic games to begin with as well; thanks to 7Sage, it's become my absolute favourite section.
-
Chaining is definitely worthwhile. It makes it easy to spot relationships between various conditionals, which will ultimately save you time. 7Sage is renowned for it's LG methods; I would really encourage you to try them all out before deciding not …
-
Same!
-
I think taking a PT is not a bad idea -- it'll give you a sense of how much you've forgotten since you went through the curriculum. It may be that you only have a few weak spots, and don't need to review the whole thing; on the other hand, you may n…
-
As many times as it takes to reach your goal score.
-
If they're printing out that way, something is wrong with the formatting on your end -- are you printing the complete PT, including the title pages, double-sided?
-
I think the best advice regarding the "oddball" games that I've seen on here is to stay calm. Regardless of the setup, every LG section is going to test the same basic skills. If you encounter such a game, don't freak out; just try to find a setup t…
-
Whether you should write it depends on how important it is that you reach your goal score -- it's very unlikely that your score will jump 5-7 points on test day.
