I took TM last year. I won't talk trash about the company or their instructors, as I did like my instructor. However, I wasn't too happy with the results. Nor did I feel that the $1000+ spent on the course was money well spent. That said, my cousin…

Aim for 1-3/week, depending on your schedule and how you're feeling. If you're starting to burn out, just do 1 PT a week. If you're feeling fine, but it's taking you 2-3 days to BR, aim for 2 PTs a week (reduce to 1 if necessary). If you're breezing…

Thanks guys! Time to buy a few more PTs!

@kmarie7 Complete one, then start the other. Don't try to bounce between the 7Sage curiculum and The Trainer. Personally, I used one as my primary source of study (7Sage) and used the other to supplement my primary source (Trainer).
-
While you're still in the curiculum phase, you can do the questions untimed. Be sure to only do questions, passages, and games from PTs 1-35. Once you have finished the curiculum, everything should be timed. Even if you are just drilling, do it time…

Negative, and, they're pretty stringent when it comes to that policy.

I'm not entirely sure, but I would assume that the schools are provided with just your name and email address. Technically, you "could" just walk in. However, they provide you with a pass (which has your name and LSAC number) that they ask you to c…

Ah, the beauty of unplugging from the LSAT. It's funny. Most people have trouble starting their studies. Yet, many of us here on 7Sage go nuts when we're told that we should stop for awhile.

Good job! Now to get to 160! Then, 170! No pressure
-
Usually = Typical in most cases. Usually and generally can be used synonymously. So, I would say yes, they can be seen as "most" statements.
-
The day before a PT, I'll do one or two random LGs, a single RC passage, and 5-10 LR questions drawn from the LR question types that I tend to have trouble with.
-
For weakening questions, the correct answer choice will not always result in a completely destroyed conclusion. In fact, for some of the more difficult weakening questions, the correct answer choice slightly dings the reasoning structure or conclusi…

What Nicole said! I interned for one firm, and had the pleasure of watching attorneys work at another. For the former, tattoos were fine. Two of the attorneys had visible tattoos (one on her leg, and the other his wrist). Both were constantly in cou…

Hey Monty! Welcome to 7Sage, and congratulations on taking your first step towards a career in law. I have been studying for nearly a year now. I started studying during my Junior year in college...if you could even call it "studying." From my Juni…

@"Nicole Hopkins" said: Keep taking PT's—this is totally normal, and given your BR scores, I'd say you're doing really well!!! This! The fact that you are BRing in the 170+ range tells us that you have a strong understanding of the material. Figur…

I don't like to think of the "4 wrong = 1 right" as a technique. Like J.Y. has mentioned, think of both as sufficient conditions - 1) Find the right AC, 2) Find the 4 wrong ACs. Failing either one will, in most cases (so technically not "sufficient"…
-
Unfortunately, unless you have a proper reason to ask for accomodations, the LSAC will probably tell you that their hands are tied. I would follow @"Nicole Hopkins" ' advice. You can always call the testing center ahead of time and ask for the layou…

I don't think I've run into a single question that taught me more than any other. Every question I have ever come across has taught me to never become complacent. Even the incredibly easy ones.
-
Bummer... I can't really suggest a testing center. However, I will say that if noise is going to be a problem, I would stay out of Southern California. Most of the universities that offer the LSAT are near major highways. If they are not, you can be…

For some reason alcohol doesn't have much of an effect on me. That said, I would still refrain from drinking. Or, reduce your alcohol intake as much as possible. As I'm sure you know, alcohol can have adverse effects on the brain. I would assume th…

Caffeine...lots and lots of caffeine. Joking, for the most part. Here's mine: Carbs: Wheat bagel Healthy fats: Avocado and nuts Protein: Small piece of chicken, or a protein shake. I prefer the latter. Caffeine: A fresh cup of Colombian coffee.…

@"Dillon A. Wright" and @"Nicole Hopkins" Listen to them, they know what's up! I was in your shoes and regret jumping around. If I absolutely had to, I would go through the grammar and logic sections first. Much of what J.Y. covers in the LG secti…

@"Nicole Hopkins" said: @"Cant Get Right" said: Every point has to be fought for, but you’re going to be Bruce Lee by the time we’re through with you. Can we please declare this the 7Sage motto? Don't worry too much about parallel reasoning.…

@Pacifico That's the first I have heard of that book. It looks like a great read. Many people give praise to Law School Confidential. I have a copy, but haven't started reading it so I can't exactly comment on its worth.
-
What @"Cant Get Right" said. At this point, you're not going to learn anything new. And, if you do...well, you'll probably end up freaking yourself out. I would take another PT and find where your weaknesses lay. Hammer those down. Drill LG and RC t…

Still waiting for a little something to come in the mail, so I'll post my pic once it arrives
-
What exactly is troubling you about the disagreement questions? I rarely use the 7Sage "read one, eliminate ACs, read the other, eliminate remaining wrong ACs" method. Don't get me wrong, I love that method but I've noticed that I can do it in a lot…
-
@"Cant Get Right" I thought as much. Time pressure has always been my Achilles heel on the LSAT - boy do I miss undergrad...where I could breeze through 50 questions in 30 minutes. I'm assuming that I need to focus on my skipping strategy, LG maste…
