Yeah, you should listen to this Busis guy. Seems like he knows his stuff even though he is always pushing that admissions course for some reason (I hope he is at least getting a commission from the creator).
-
Haha. Yeah, I noticed the reviews are also based on how quickly people get the book. In my first year of undergrad, I was shocked at how bad the 5-star textbooks were. Only later did I find out that the reviews were something like "Super fast shippi…

I totally agree with @"Alex Divine". It is never too early to start on admissions. Depending on how many schools you apply to, there may be a great number of essays to write. First, there are the personal statement and diversity statement. You want …

Hey @"Alex Divine" Thanks for bringing this up! I found that my logic classes in undergrad really helped me on the LSAT. While they definitely go way above what the LSAT tests for with respect to logic, the fundamental skills are the same and very …

Some great advice in this thread. While it is true that law schools prefer academic letters to employer letters, this diminishes the longer it has been since the applicant graduated. After five years, it becomes more understandable to primarily have…

Thanks for doing this! I can't wait to hear what everyone learned and wants to share. J.Y.'s sessions have been extremely helpful to me both as a student and a tutor. The first thing I learned is that J.Y. does not actually sound like a chipmunk (I…

I have seen this in the past. Because of the additional time given and the possibility of testing in a private room, you will not be testing with everyone else. This means the testing center will need to adjust for additional staffing hours and room…

This is a really important challenge. I can say from experience that it really comes into play on test day. You will have people during the break joking around or saying dumb stuff. Normally, that is good fun, but it is important to stay in the zone…

@dcdcdcdcdc brings up a good point about keeping on your toes. While drilling by game type does help you get good at identifying games and the correct boards for them, it can also lead to a false sense of success because you know what games are comi…

Josh, this is awesome! I will attend to lend moral support to everyone. Also, when will you do part two, which will involve helping everyone escape from Sigourney Weaver?
-
No, this passage is great. The only ECON passage that I found really awesome had to do with pin factories and economies of scale. However, it is from a recent PT, which I do not want to burn for anyone. PT 3 has an interesting passage about monopol…

Very good question. I spent about three weeks just working on LG when I started. It is a really good time investment. I feel that LG is the only section that someone can reliably go -0 almost every time. It really is a skill. Anyone can master it wi…

Hi @rogersalexandra7, Answer choice A is the right answer because we are talking about beliefs for this question. The author argues that because lawmakers have assigned two crimes the same penalty, they consider (believe) that they cause the same h…

Hey @nathanieljschwartz, Congrats on finishing the CC! Personally, I found that drilling by game type helped. I used the Cambridge LG by Game Type packets. They had all the games from PT 1-38 sorted by game type. I would do a game timed, compare it…
-
I am very interested! I think it is great that you are focusing in on argument types. @jknauf is totally right, that is too often overlooked. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of certain argument types not only increases your speed but als…

Awesome, my business administration education can finally be put to use! See you all on Sunday!
-
Hi @"alaric.taves", Great question. Like you, I had exposure (though not as much as you) to logic before 7Sage. In college, I took two classes devoted to logic and a bunch of philosophy and discrete math classes that used logic. 7Sage does a great…

This made my day! I love getting inspirational advice and tips from Vault Boy. Wait.... This isn't part of a scheme by Vault-Tec, is it? Because I don't think I want to be in a vault full of LSAT takers. Vault 180 won't last long.... Although J.Y. w…

Also, @TheMikey said it better than me (NEVER think that you are an idiot. You are a really cool cat!). What I am really getting at is that you should take it slow your final week. I still think you should drill LR, RC, and especially LG (the sectio…
-
I see what everyone is saying. I might have been a little too strict with the idea of no test in the last week. However, I think it is important to ask yourself why you need to take a test the last week. If you have a truly good reason, then do it. …

Yeah, as @Mellow_Z said PTs 70-80 are the most modern tests. Beyond that, I would say that all PTs are useful, but PTs 50 - 80 are going to be the most like the June 2017 test (PT 81). PT 51.5 (June 2007; the free test given by LSAC) introduced com…
-
@spitzy11 I totally agree with @Mellow_Z. It is crucial that you follow the instructions of each school. On every law school application, there is an instructions page for the entire application. You might want to print it out and make sure you foll…

I think this is a great idea! The open BR calls are awesome. However, it is also great to have smaller groups who meet on a regular basis and keep each other motivated and on task. This is a great benefit that reminds me of physical therapy. The fea…

I also am not sure about the answer. However, the LSAC's GPA calculation does not include classes that have no grade associated with them. I had a lab class that was not graded and it did not impact my GPA in any way. Therefore, I expect that these …

This is amazing insight into the Digital LSAT. Thank you so much for sharing!

Hi Spitzy11, Your softs are very nice. You have obviously done a lot to help your college and community. Unfortunately, at the top schools most people have great softs. Ultimately, in the law school application game, numbers are king. Softs only re…

I see. PT A is an old test. I believe it is from February 1996. This places it around PT 18. Did you get a -14 on a different old test? It sounds like the issue is just that you are now focusing on RC and using the knowledge you got from the CC. By…
-
Hi Katharine, First off, what test was your diagnostic and what test did you just take? The RC sections have become a lot harder in the 50+ PTs. That might be part of the issue. The second issue might be that you are trying to incorporate the stra…

I totally agree with @jaefromcanada. I found that I actually saved time in RC by spending more time up front on the passage. By taking an extra 30 seconds to briefly summarize each paragraph and link them up with prior paragraphs, I would save about…
