  • Windows 10 user here. I haven't had any buffering problems. You may just have to clear your cache. Or, as @"Dillon A. Wright" suggested, you may just have slow internet speed.
  • Aside from one of the games, one page has always provided sufficient space. You are more than welcome to grab an extra sheet of paper and use that as your second page.
  • Funny how all you have to do to price gouge is slap the label "out of print" on the book. You can still find clean copies of the earlier, out-of-print PTs on Amazon and eBay for a fair price. Some of the games aren't Representative of what you're li…
  • Let the biased opinions roll in! In all seriousness, 7Sage is by far my favorite prep course...and I've been exposed to quite a few. Ideally, you'll want to take a cold diagnostic (take the June '07 test, as it is readily available for free download…

  • @"Cant Get Right" I've noticed that all of my LSAT buddies who enjoy Sudoku tend to do well on the LG section. I sense a correlation here...
  • I went through two curriculum's - 7Sage and another prep company...the latter of which I wasn't fond of. I probably reviewed for around 7-8 months before starting the PT phase. Even now, I still go through the curriculum and do a problem set here an…
  • Plenty of us here have done exactly what you're planning. A buddy of mine took the LSAT last fall, was accepted to his top school, then delayed further to intern. Taking another year or two off should be fine.
  • Games can be a PITA when you first start off...trust me, I know. Like @"Cant Get Right" said, the more you expose yourself to the games, the quicker you'll be able to do them. I absolutely hated LG when I first started studying. Now, I can proudly …
  • One thing to remember is that the LSAT is not a knowledge-based test. It's a skill-based test. That said, the information you'll learn here should be treated like skill-based info. In other words, you should be practicing with the skills (informatio…
  • Awesome! Congrats on getting into your top school.
  • Going from a 146 to a 165 in 3 months is really pushing it. Have you considering taking the Dec test instead? How did you do on LR? How about RC? Ideally you want to complete some sort of a curriculum (7Sage, for instance), drill and fool proof the…
  • All really good questions. You can still use the June '07 test if you would like. I would still recommend using a different test. I'm assuming you haven't started the curiculum? If not, PT 35 will do in a pinch - that way you're not wasting any of y…
  • Not sure how most do it, but here is my process (if anyone wants to weigh in, please do): 1) Take LG 2) Score: If completed under recommended time and 100% accuracy, toss it + all copies in a binder and forget about that game. If either of the two a…
  • Like @Pacifico said, focus on the "with a twist" games or the ones with tons of conditional rules. You can also try the sequencing/grouping games.
  • @"Cant Get Right" pretty much covers it all. Yes, it is true that the LSAT writers will often use extreme wording in incorrect answer choices. It makes perfect sense that they would - if you wanted to contest a question or answer choice with extreme…
  • @montahar said: I learned the hard way that your best bet is to sign up for the exam when you've mastered the curriculum and are satisfied with your performance thus far. NOT sign up for the exam and give yourself that alloted time to practice for …
  • It should work just fine for now. If it's convenient and works well for you, keep doing it. That said, I would start doing LG with paper and pencil at least a month prior to the actual test. Come test day, everything should feel "natural" as you pro…
  • Aside from Nicole's exam, hasn't this happened before? I could have sworn that one of the PTs I did had 3 LR sections, back to back. Woops, I just remembered that it was a TM PT, so they're probably the ones who inserted that third LR section.
  • Post LG fool proofing, I probably spent a week "putting it all together" before starting the PT phase. You really want to make sure that you've nailed down the fundamentals before moving on to the PT phase. That said, here is what I did for a week:…
  • 3 weeks isn't enough time to cause signification deterioration of skills that you've acquired over the last 2 years. Relax, hit the beach, and forget about the LSAT.
  • The answers you input in the analytics should match the ones on your scantron exactly. The point of taking a PT isn't to boost your ego, it's to humble you enough to motivate you to study more. On LR, I tend to bubble in after every page (2 sides …
  • In for PT45 (Saturday), since I actually have that one! I know, premature post, but I had to.
  • Any PT will work as a diagnostic. There is nothing special about the June '07 test...aside from the fact that it is available at not charge. That said, if you only "looked" through it, tuck it away in a nice dark corner, and take it as a PT in a mo…
  • Props to you for balancing a full-time schedule and the LSAT. Take PTs on days where you are well-rested. BR and drill on the days that you work.
  • Are you referring to the name that is displayed for all to see? If so, go to the top right corner. However your mouse over your current display name, click "settings." On the top left, you'll see your current display name. Change it, and save your s…
  • You can diagram it either way. Think of a biconditional like this: The variables included are both sufficient and necessary conditions. Since you're drawing two arrows, it doesn't matter which variable goes on which end. Typically on the LSAT, "and…
  • @LARamsNation Awesome! You could always try BRing the next morning. I'm almost certain it won't make much of a difference. But, if BRing right after the PT is an option, take it.
  • @"Nicole Hopkins" Oh. My. Gosh. @"Nicole Hopkins" You're the best!
  • Hey guys, I'll be hosting today's BR group. Unfortunately I had to take care of a small situation, and I am currently stuck in traffic heading home. I apologize but there will probably be a small delay (~5 minutes).
  • Do what works for you. At the end of the day, it probably won't make much of a difference. Personally, I BR immediately after the PT. BRing while the material is still fresh helps quite a bit. The point of BR is to determine where your weaknesses la…
