I've done most of the rough work... as of now, I've done 3 PT's. I am aiming for about 3 - 4 PTs a week (5 in the 2nd week) and BR, etc... m scoring in the 165 to 172 range and I would like to fine tune it to the upper part of that range... 3PTS thi…

What works for me is that I have found out that the questions will focus on some predictable things... what is the passage structure, what is the main point of the passage, what is the author's opinion... when a term is used in a particular paragrap…

You will be fine... often there is a drop in scores for the first few PTs because you are learning to do things in the tactically correct manner. if this persists after a few tests then maybe think of retooling but don't panic as of now... do plenty…
-
Yes Clay... try working with either Graeme Blake or Jonathan Wang... both are excellent
-
Yes... I would also avoid doing every game 10 times even the ones which you don't get correct... do them till you get them correct... but not 10 times.. quite frankly there are other things to do with time &/or life...but I would still advise do…

Matt_1234: Try to do them all... even though it takes a long time... the games are the portion for the LSAT that is there for the taking... don't worry about the time... it gets better as you go along and things start becoming like second nature to …

There is a lesson in the Manhattan RC guide devoted especially to comparative passages.
-
Well I'd say from the tests that the curriculum has left untouched coz they are genetically most similar to what you are going to face... but 39 is the example of a hard RC section ( I think that is the PT that forms the hard RC lesson with 7sage) s…
-
Hey patwarren10... I think this could be an issue of timing... are you spending more time on the earlier RC passages and feeling rushed towards the end? The latter PTs have tougher RC passages which take longer to read. If so, try Manhattan's RC gui…
-
Drawing from my experience of having written the exam before and prepared for it, at this point, I think that you are in perfect position to do the tests sequentially... because there are more than 6 weeks before the exam and you will be solving all…
-
Probably because you are moving towards newer tests? This happened with me too but with RC.
-
They are excellent for developing and drilling the core skills that you would use in LR
-
For me it is creating a structural framework of the piece... what are they trying to say? What is the first argument presented, what is the second argument presented, what is the evidence in support of each of the arguments... what is the authors op…

Thanks... appreciate it a lot!

Hey richgittings.. I'm at the same stage as you... I got a 163 in my December LSAT so I'm taking it again now... and from personal experience I find that at this point I have a fair idea of the curriculum so it doesn't affect me much if I skip aroun…
-
That's great... yes you are right.. It is what you make of it as well... the schools can give you a push but you craft your own future... and you seem to have things figured out. I wish you best of luck.
-
From what I have heard, you have got it right... you are burnt-out... but this is a good thing if it is happening now... a lot of my friends who were with me at UChicago Law told me that there will come a phase in my prep when I will feel burnt out.…
-
That seems a fair goal... Try for a T14 or a UCLA / UT Austin/Minnesota (maybe UCI - too early to take a call on that one yet) as these are the schools that usually feed into academia. But also remember that should one of those not happen, its not t…
-
Yep you'll be fine... lots of tests conditional lawgic and plenty of blind review is the way to go
-
I agree with CFC152436. I have not heard any good evidence to the effect that specializations make you more hireable. Rather, this seems more like a gimmick to draw in candidates who may not have the scores to go to higher ranked schools but want to…
-
All the best MiliPatel1... I'm sure you will do just fine.
-
Well I'm doing the trainer just this round and it is helpful... I would advocate buying it simply because you want to get the best prep done and you feel that you may need a different perspective... but you won't 'lose out' so to speak if you don't…
-
Msmith85, nobody else can motivate you as to why you should go to to law school... But if it really does help you find motivation, here's my story... I want to because I want to enter legal academia. Plus being an internationally trained lawyer and …
-
I believe it has worked wonders with my LR... I seriously think that 7sage and the Trainer when combined have the ability to more easily draw out a students maximum potential than any of the other resources that I have sampled... i.e. Powerscore LR …
-
I had the same problem when I gave the test in December... my guess would be (and this is based on my own situation) that one of your suits i.e. games, LR, or RC is weaker than the rest... what you would need to do is to maintain practice in the oth…

Ditto AI [^-^d]

Take the test only when you feel you are ready... Law Schools will always be there but a wasted attempt at an LSAT is not something that you want. If you hurry, you might actually waste an attempt... which will only lead to 1) either a poorer school…
-
Any that give you problems... the definition of problems being specific in that you don't get them under 8.45 seconds, (this is malleable of course :- some games will take under 5 minutes... and some around 10) ... or games which you do not feel com…
-
Josh I had also hit a snag... but don't worry... the first thing you need to do is to revisit your logic SA is for the taking but it is very logic heavy... if setting up the premises and conclusions is giving you a problem, then visit the lesson on …

Mattie... re focus on your weak points... do a blind review of all the tests that you have done and redo some of the old tests... contrary to popular belief, redoing tests only makes you better at understanding the nuances... yes reading comp probab…
