Looks like about half the votes are in, thanks for responding everyone! I’m trying to tag all those from above who’s tags didn’t work to make sure everyone gets a chance to see this; but it’s only letting me do one at a time, so going to add in a s…

I guess all that karma does pay out! Thanks so much! A lot of y’all know that I studied for a long time before finding my way here and that I took two of my takes with disappointing results. Well, that’s not going to happen in September. I’m fee…

Ha! Maybe!

Ok. Got myself pulled together. So happy!

Thanks so much @runiggyrun . I've been on the phone since discovering this and it does seem that transcripts are correctable when mistakes are discovered, even years later. I'm on great terms with my department and I don't think it will be a problem…

Ok, so I’ve actually just encountered a major problem on my transcript that explains the discrepancy and I don’t know what to do. I had a professor who had a stroke and so I dropped the course. As the professor had just had a stroke and was unavai…

Haha! Fair enough @nantesorkestar!

Thanks guys! And thanks for qualifying the 7Sage number as an estimate @runiggyrun . With where my GPA is at, an extra 0.1 is kind of a game changer. It knocks me up from below 25% to around 50% at many of the schools I’m most optimistically inte…

Schools only care about your top score. That’s the only thing that affects their rankings, so they’ve got major incentive to look the other way on a lower score. LSAC has a calculator to compare your numbers to the admitted classes of many schools…

You got it NP.

In this one, David just totally misses the point. Marianna says that drunk driving increases the probability of a wreck involving serious or fatal injuries, and the David’s all like, well actually Marianna, drunk drivers are slightly less likely to…

Thanks for the feedback so far guys! Keep it coming, and by all means, debate the merits of different options if you have reasons for a preference.

Got you down @LSATKingsman !

@kotokochan said: Backgrounds definitely help. True dat. I got a passage on Latin literature during the English Enlightenment and I’m like, please. I have run into things though where I have an informed opinion and strongly disagree with the aut…

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go home and have a heart attack. Seemed plausible until it said LSAC was responding to the concerns of professors. Then I was like, okay, this has to be a joke. I didn’t know what day it was, so I was still …

@stepharizona said: I mean I had an improvement when I stopped watching videos as I read even on 7Sage. Its insane how accustomed we've come to "watching" everything vs reading it. I hadn't even noticed until I started studying for the LSAT. Yep. …

@twssmith said: we thought we were so cool And you were right.

Oh yeah! I remember the answering machine one. It was a LR question and we’ve got to weaken the argument that voicemail is going to make answering machines obsolete! That was a tough one! And typewriters are cool again @twssmith . I really want …

I hate Eastern time. I always do it the wrong way!

Ha! I can't wait for the hacker essay! And don't worry, technology is cyclical. Fax will come back in style.

I'm also a big advocate of extracurricular reading. It can't be used as a replacement for study time, but the only way to get better at reading is to read. Harry Potter y'all.

I use beats for pacing. 1 2 1 2 1 2. I tap it out with my pencil across the line I'm reading. 1 is the left of the line, 2 is the right, then it starts over on the next line. 1 2 1 2 1 2. I don't think 1 2 of course, that's just the time signature.…

Absolutely. The important thing is to just not be too hard on yourself. Discouragement comes easily enough as it is. The only time I might advocate for being a little hard on yourself is if you’re just not studying right and you know it. Half as…

@nader.parham said: On a separate note, I started LG -13 (untimed) around six month ago, now my score is around -7 (timed) is it realistic to aim for -0 by September? Yeah, to me, everyone should aim for -0 on Games. Even if you don’t quite make …
-
I think it just really depends. You have totally reasonable concerns for both options. If your target score is a 177 and your current PT/BR average is 160/165, obviously that’s a very different situation than something like a 165 target with an av…

Agreed! I’ve found the Games commentaries to be really insightful. There wouldn’t be quite as much for the commentator to say since the mental process isn’t represented as visually, but there would still be plenty of material to discuss by using t…

As long as you’re committed to the process and studying smart, and it sounds like you are, you’ll get there. I know it’s frustrating, and I think you’re allowed a little frustration; but it’s way too soon to be worried. I’m the worst about that to…

Beautifully said @Mookittyy.

The bundle is meant to be burned, so don’t worry about that. The burning of it is where the value comes from. What exactly is your process? Are you taking whole sections or just individual games? Are you using a stopwatch or a timer? Do you wat…
