Although sites like the following don't tell the whole story, they are a great place to get a decent feel for where your cycle might end up: https://classic.7sage.com/predictor/ Others might chime in with personal/anecdotal evidence, but the stats…

A couple of thoughts about your post: -3.7/164 is nothing to scoff at, T-20 is definitely in play. Please see: https://classic.7sage.com/predictor/ With all due respect, I think you are factually wrong about your chances at T-20. Scholarships ar…

I don't want to get too much into the weeds here, but I found this quote really interesting, [on the writing sample's new online form]: “We’re responding to feedback from test takers that having to complete a written essay in a large-group setting …

Thank you so much! A pleasant surprise!

@NotMyName and @"Leah M B" I wanted to post this clip because the reveal reminded somewhat of a puzzle/game. This guy Derren Brown is fascinating guy. He does clever stuff like this all over youtube.

The time question is subjective. This is the standard I use: I should be spending the amount of time on BR that allows me to be comfortable explaining the ins and outs of the question to a non-LSAT person in my life. That proves to me I truly unde…

The best way I can describe my approach is to say that it works for me. A ton of the pacing side of LSAT prep is what works for an individual, what an individual's "groove" is, the idea being to recreate this "groove" come test day and the exam wil…

@username_hello are you talking about answer choice (A)?

@oshun1 You make a good point. Many people don't have the time to go through the exams like this. Where I respectfully disagree is the point about drilling. I think there is a wealth of great material to get from the old exams. Let me give you 5…

I'm sorry to hear about this. With that being said you seem to be owning this mistake, which is good. The advice dispensed on portions of this thread might start to answer some of your questions: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/…

Some people say to never study the writing sample. I think it doesn't hurt to take a 10 minute look at one or two older ones, maybe from the 50s or 60s. Just to see what we are doing. It's not graded so its importance is well below the other sect…

@ChaimtheGreat I've been guessing the same thing, based on not much more than the old intuition. Mapping-like logic game.

mylsn and 7Sage predictor are your best bets on chances. I personally would say to maximize chances try to raise your lsat at the very least 7 points. A 168/3.66 makes you a strong candidate for t-14/t-20. Your issue as I understand it is closing …

@NotMyName and @drbrown2 you both write compelling posts and Mr. Ping's video on the question is superb, but the question remains one of only a few in LSAT history that I consider utterly ridiculous. The question makes me dizzy.

amazon prime? a physical walmart store? Maybe ask back at Kohl's? I used this and it was not a problem, some people on 7sage recommended it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005JVP0FU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I actually don't think the 12-13 minute explanations are that much "all over the place." Much of that time is contextualizing precisely what the flaw or issue or subtly of the problem really is and an attempt by Mr. Ping to get the information to s…

https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/lsat-vocabulary-flashcards/ I looked the words up and committed them to memory. That is what really helped me. Also, reading helped me a ton, any time I didn't know what a word was, I would look it up and read art…

It's not foolish to think so, after all, you've hit the -1 before. A word on "stupid mistakes": There is a not small portion of LG that relies on what I have started calling: housekeeping. What I mean by this is that there are those things that w…

Powerscore recently crunched the data on "curves" for a 170 for the last several years: June/September/December: note here as an aside that the December exam this year falls in November. This is what they found: June: -10.36 September: -11.08 De…

Good post! I agree with some of the general sentiment here for sure. Christian teaching teaches a similar, although not precisely the same lesson, mainly humbleness in the face of the fragility this life brings. Where I would politely disagree is …

Lately it has been application for law schools that have distracted me the most lol. But reading articles, checking the news is a distraction for sure. Lately I have been following this absolutely fascinating case of a biology professor at Berkele…

Statistically, this specific game type appears very rarely. I think this poses two ways of thinking about it in the future: 1.We probably won't see it because it is rare or 2.It is "due" because it hasn't come up in awhile The second way of thi…

I've given some thought to this idea of remembering to keep the definitions of words open enough to include their full meaning as it relates to the LSAT. Take for instance the idea of one thing offsetting the effects of another thing. So for insta…

I think the phrase is consistent with both interpretations. Much like the idea of "no more" or "no less." No more: equal to or less No less: Equal to or more As many: equal to or this could be commensurate with more. At least as many, would be…

Just a quick question on the specifics of your question: are you asking about people from/who reside in India and are taking what is known as the India LSAT put out by LSAC with the main difference being 4 answer choices A-D rather than 5 answer cho…

A consistent gain of 4+ points on your average is tough in the time left before November's exam, but not impossible. I should note here that ideally, many test takers have preferred to have their average 2-3 points above their goal because of the p…

No sorries necessary, these boards are the ideal place to air out frustrations about the LSAT, many of us have been there/done that. To get more specific about your goals, when you say "falling apart at the 5 yard line" do you mean your goal is onl…

I have enjoyed these posts. I was wondering if it were possible to know these people’s numbers? Or at least a range that they are in: at or near the 75th percentile for lsat for instance. I’m asking kindly because I want to get to the core questio…
