Wait, what? From where did you hear this rumor? That actually made me chuckle, haha. As far as I can tell, it does not have to be written in cursive.

@Kateryna You're absolutely right, there's never a need to settle for less. Honestly, that should be the 7Sage motto, since all of us here push each other past what we once thought were our limits. That said, a safety school is simply that, a safety…

@"Cant Get Right" Absolutely true! haha

@"Cant Get Right" Pretty much covered it all. 3 exams/week seems a tad too much. However, if you can honestly say that you're able to handle it + your school work + life + NOT burning out, than by all means. However, as many will tell you, said sche…

Pretty much covered. If you feel burnout coming on, step away from the LSAT. Tons of LSATers worry that the time lost from studying will be detrimental to their score. However, a 7-10 point drop due to burn out is far worse than the POSSIBLE (and hi…

It depends on the day, week, and month. Typically, I study for 6 days a week, 3-6 hours a day (usually 3 hours of "real" studying). If I'm having an "I'm over the LSAT" week, I'll take 1-2 days off, and do some very light studying - maybe 1 - 2 hou…

Yes, now! You have a few weeks until the September exam. Coupled with the fact that you should not be going PT crazy the week of the test, you'll want to start PTing with the 70+ exams.

@montaha.rizeq This! I highly recommend applying to at least a few safety schools. You may as well apply to those that have a decent rank and offer a fee waiver. That said, you are more than welcome to apply to all of the T25...if you can afford to…
-
Ideally, you don't want to start PTing until you are scoring at or above your target LG score. That said, you can still continue to fool proof during the PT phase. You simply take your PT and BR it. Once you're done, print out a few copies of each L…

Piggybacking off of what @"Rachel Yoon" said: Typically, when the question stem is worded in a way that sounds like they are telling you that the assumption is already in the stimulus, they're asking you for a necessary assumption. When worded in a …

What is it that you think you're misunderstanding? For both, exposure is the cure to missing multiple questions. For flaw: There are many, and the test writers do a good job of hiding them. The more you expose yourself to flaw questions (by drillin…

Imagine how guilty you're going to feel when you're sitting down for the real thing...feeling like a burnt out zombie. Take the two days off, then come back and PT again. You're better off losing out on 2 days of studying, than throwing away months…
-
Your strategy should be to skip all of the difficult questions, with the intent of A) Getting back to them, and Completing all of the easy ones first. I used to employ your method, and, I'd be lying if I said that I no longer use it. However, you'r…
-
Like @nanchito said, it really does depend on the schools that you are applying to. I've always considered anything below a 3.2 "somewhat low" and a 3.4 "average." Those numbers are simply my opinion of what is low and what is average in terms of …

Do you have The LSAT Trainer? The advice in that book, regarding the RC section is gold. With RC, you want to focus primarily on the main point and reasoning structure (what each paragraph does, relative to the main point). Here is how I drill RC: …
-
Wanna really piss off whoever is going to take said test? Find every single Parallel MOR and Parallel Flaw question, and only use those for the LR sections. Heck, make the experimental another LR section so you can fit them all in.
-
@"Alex Divine" Couldn't have said it better myself. Don't you dare sit the December test without taking most, if not all of the PTs from 60 upwards. For now, finish the core curriculum, take a PT and use it as a diagnostic tool, then work on your we…
-
My rule of thumb: Take a PT post-CC. However, you'll use that PT to determine 2 things: 1) Where you stand, now that you've completed the CC. 2) What you may need to continue to work on. If, on your post-CC PT you feel that something(s) really threw…
-
It's simple, really. 1) Figure out what the two variables are 2) Choose one to be the sufficient, and the other to be the necessary (it doesn't matter which you choose - I suggest choosing the one stated in the negative, if such exists) 3) Negate th…

Here are my definitions (or, definitions that I've heard from others) "It qualifies" = allows for the possibility that something else may occur/the conclusion is true given certain circumstances. ex: Conclusion - "Therefore, if Y happens, X will h…

@david.busis This advice is golden. A few months ago I had lunch with a professor who wrote one of my LORs. After a brief law-school related conversation, he asked if I was still starting in 2016. When I told him that I would be starting in 2017, he…
-
Why not ask them all to write you a LOR? That way you'll have plenty on file, and, you can pick and choose which to send to schools.
-
You'll hear this time and time again, the LSAT is "masterable." That's just a fancy way of saying "You can kick the LSAT's butt if you try hard enough." With every section on the LSAT, exposure + learning from prior mistakes = increase in mastery. …
-
It depends. However, my LR BR score on my last PT was -1/-2 per section, I believe.
-
@red416416 If you're able to get through 3 games and you're still scoring -10/-12, that means that you're also lacking in the accuracy department. That's understandable. For LG, both timing and accuracy can be drastically improved using the fool pro…
-
Could be one or a few of many things. Two come to mind: 1) You're beginning to burn out 2) You're simply "over" the LSAT Both of these can be remedied by taking a few days to a week off. Relax, don't think about the LSAT, etc. If you're already scor…
-
Woo! Thanks 7Sage crew! Amazon gift cards are always a pleasant surprise. Is it sad that I spend the majority of them on LSAT-related material?
-
Ideally, you want to do as many as you can without running the risk of burning out. That said, I would think 2 a week + BR for the next two weeks should be fine. I wouldn't recommend PTing the week of the exam. But, if you absolutely must, don't bot…
-
This has been discussed a few times, and the answer is usually "it's not worth it." First off, you're probably going to forget the questions by the time you reach them. With LR it's easy to do - you're presented with a single question for a single 3…

I believe they are identical. Also, if I am not mistaken, the scantrons provided by 7Sage are the same ones that LSAC uses.
