Yeah, that sounds like a cool dissertation @TheMikey . I'd actually really love to read it, lol. The issue with Starbucks is essentially just the quality/quantity equation. At their scale, there's just no way around accommodating quantity. They can'…
This happened to me on the real thing last September. I got LG in either the first or second section and blew it. I estimated I ended the section at -6 which turned out to be exactly correct. On average, I go -6 for the entire test, so I was startin…

I can't do black coffee, it tastes so bad to me. I can do without the milk if I'm put in that situation, but I'd at least need like ONE sugar pack or something in it lol
99% of the coffee out there is bad coffee (Yes, this mo…
The answer to this question isn't as clear as it used to be. Now that you've got unlimited takes, it will not hurt you as badly as it did when you burned 1/3 takes. A year ago, this would be a pretty devastating mistake. Now, I think there may be a …
Great advice from @TheDeterminedC .
I'm not sure the distribution of where your errors are falling in the section is necessarily a meaningful correlation. Look deeper. What about each specific question made you miss it? You likely need to lock down…
Glad it only happened in practice! Don't let it shake you. Once you sit down and start the test, let it all melt away as the test becomes the entirety of existence for the next three hours. You go this.
155 to 175 is kinda a crazy range, lol. I might start by trying to account for that. Why such drastic swings?
Congrats on the 180 BR, that's huge! If that's not totally atypical, you may do well to focus on strategy: Pacing and time management is f…

@"Cant Get Right" is great if you're looking for a couple RC tutor sessions! His tips really helped me improve on RC, just when I was convinced that it was nearly impossible for me to improve.

At this point, it's a battle of psychology more than anything else. Make sure you go in there on test day and take your test. If you take the test the way you take the test, you will fall into your range. Make sure you know exactly what your strateg…
@"nicole.hopkins" got into Northwestern with significant scholarship money on a 2.9 GPA with a 170 LSAT. Top of her class going into 2L too. A killer LSAT score goes a long, long way.
Glad you're safe, that's the main thing. If Harvey aftermath is anything like Katrina, I wouldn't be confident that even basic infrastructure will be restored by test date. Civilization kinda collapsed for a while after Katrina, and Harvey is soundi…
I think poker is a great mechanism to tell a story. There's not a thing in life that poker doesn't provide a perfect yet cliched metaphor for. You do have to be careful though, as others have suggested. You're not likely to find someone in the admis…
You should almost certainly reschedule, but most importantly, please please stop taking PTs!! PTs aren't your primary means of learning this test, they're your primary means of identifying the errors you need to address to improve. At the rate you'r…
Not positive on that, but if by any chance @Alejandro is still around, I'm sure a fellow Colombian who's been through all this would know.
Regardless of your status, you can still definitely write a diversity statement on that though, so make sure …

Would have gotten a perfect score on that section otherwise
But is that true? If you had spent more time on that question and less on another, would you certainly get the other corre…
I think you're asking two very different questions with two very different answers.

Is this helpful for scoring into the high 160s, and high 170s?
high 160's?
Yes.
high 170's?
I would argue that it is not only u…
They get a little more creative with some of the language issues in later tests, but it's just another element of the test that always needed to be mastered. I actually prefer the newer tests. If anything, the logic is a little tighter, and the lang…

this is awesome! June 2018 squad
Is there a June 2018 study group in the works?
Not yet! Probably not a bad time to start forming one though.

Hi! Do we have to be enrolled in a 7sage course in order to join a study group?
Nope! Just watch for the announcements and all are free to join. 7Sage TOS still apply to everyone, of course, but other than that there are no …
No plans for now. I think most of us are either starting school this week or else preparing for Sept ourselves. After Sept, we'll definitely have lots of new webinars/workshops, but probably only a couple of things between now and September. If you'…
Nice! Footage provides critical objectivity, and it's hard to imagine studying without it. Pros at all kinds of things do it--tennis players, musicians, surgeons, you name it. Thanks for sharing!
Getting questions "right" isn't the goal. Achieving understanding is, and that's a much higher threshold. I've gotten tons of questions correct with inadequate understanding. If there is even a slight suspicion that there is even a possibility that …
Just to reinforce @"Alex Divine" and @TheMikey 's comments , even one PT a day is WAY too much. You're exposing yourself to a lot of material, but you can't actually learn from it at that pace. Let me guess: Your PT scores fluctuate around a very co…
It's a big deficit for sure. I think that with an addendum to explain the grading scale and an outstanding LSAT score to show them what you're capable of, it can be overcome though. Maxing out your LSAT is the best way forward. With a high 170's LSA…
