  • I don't know if I have that question available or not at the moment, but I just wanted to point out that lawgic will pretty much never be required in RC... It's more an LR/LG tool. As for the why: We use it as a tool to cut through all the bullshit …

  • People don't take retakes for the confidence boost of a high score, they do it to reinforce their reasoning/logic skills. Anyone who thinks their retake score is viable is pretty universally shot down immediately. I think timed scores actually give …
  • If you're in the beginning of your prep, I recommend a stopwatch. Give yourself an unlimited amount of time to finish each problem, but get a feel for the time you're taking and record your time from the stopwatch. Once you progress a bit, then you …
  • @rosnell.1 said: I have the Powerscore Bible for LG 'cause it's my weakest section, Honestly you're better off buying all the 1-35 LGs and then just using the free videos here on 7Sage to master LG.
  • I never understood the allure of studying for anything, but that doesn't mean it's not helpful and often needed in many cases. I don't prep for the LSAT because I'm seduced by the curriculum or other prep materials, I just need to accomplish a goal …
  • Honestly I've never encountered this problem myself. There's probably only 1-2 words per PT that I don't know the definition for, but I can still work with them using context clues. After 10 PTs I can't say I've ever been in a situation where my per…
  • Take GU for example... They're at 163/168/169 this year so a 167 would be below their median but a 170 would be above their 75th... So that is the difference between a probable ding and a possible admit (at least a wait list) depending on other fact…
  • No... December is not late... February/March is late... 170 might be above a 75th and a 167 is at 25th so there is a big difference there... 167 in October might get the app held or pushed back until Janury when everyone can read it anyways...
  • 2-3 PTs per week with excellent BR (think 175+) is much better than 4 PTs per week and mediocre BR (
  • There is an incremental shift from 1-75 that has changed many things about the test. The mid to late 30s are the general consensus across most prep companies and test takers as to where that shift is pronounced enough to abandon using the earlier on…
  • Thanks so much guys! Y'all are the best and I'm so glad I get to be a part of this awesome community!
  • @c.janson35 said: I'm delighting in old Ted Cruz debate championship videos where his ego proves to be his ultimate downfall Where can I find these amazing videos?
  • Uh oh... I hope I don't break my 35 minute watch... although now that I just use it propped up I'm regretting getting a left handed version because it's a super pain in the ass to manipulate it.
  • @esteerose said: I am always second guessing whether I chose that answer as a result of understanding it, or chose it for the wrong reasons. You should be circling every question where that happens. Even if it means you circle 75 questions now, yo…
  • For the most part I don't since time is a finite resource. However if I struggled with a question or found it interesting and wanted to see JY's explanation then I would. But in general there is not enough time to watch 80-100 videos per test. If yo…
  • If your LG is that weak then you need to lock that up first since it's the easiest thing to do and will help motivate you for the rest of the test. Check out this guide I wrote up and see if there are some strategies their that may help you: http:/…
  • @sarkisp23 said: "it's not your fault if you're born poor, but it's your fault if you die poor." Where is this a saying? That is terrible... @sarkisp23 said: Just don't rehash your resume in your personal statement and that's it. Great advice,…
  • Tell me more about how splitters can get into McGill...
  • your temporary tattoos should only consist of the entire conditional logic curriculum charted out on your forearms... anything else is a waste of ink...
  • I think doing 40 once and half of those again is a better approach. You can do 36-75 and then do the back half of those over again. You'll get so little value out of pre-36 as full PTs that it just isn't worth it in my opinion. Also, just because yo…
  • Definitely a tough needle to thread, and 95+% of such attempts would not be able to do it and would look bad. But the payoff would likely be pretty good if you're in that less than 5%. If you have a high GPA/high LSAT I wouldn't bother risking it. B…
  • It doesn't matter how long it takes you to get a degree as long as it is a B.A./B.S. equivalent. Some people in the US get a B.A./B.S. in 3-3.5 years and it still counts just as much. Additionally, law schools don't really care how many credits you …
  • It's just your diagnostic, take it whenever you want since it doesn't do anything but provide a baseline. Testing at test time is more for people that choose to do so towards the end of their prep if they think it will be an issue, but some people n…
  • I wrote this up a while back, I don't know if you've seen it before: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2737/logic-games-attack-strategy See if any of that resonates with you; it sounds like you could use some time with the Bundle if …
  • Hell... Screw cutting edge legal work, I'll review documents for 160k a year plus a bonus... Beats cooking on your feet for 14-16+ hours a day for 50k a year...
  • That was the type of personal reason I was talking about...
  • @jyang72 said: I would say 20PTs with thorough BR are better than 30PTs with crappy BR. This is absolutely correct. Also, if you got within three of your average then that shows you were pretty on track since they give a variability of plus or mi…
  • I think fundamentals and timing are closely related. While you may have a decent grasp on the fundamentals as evidenced by your BR score, your timed score shows that your understanding lacks depth and applicability under pressure. The better your fu…
  • I think he's asking for hard copies of the actual questions, not schedules for which to do when. I'm on my phone so I don't have a link to the affordable PT thread.
  • I'm going to disagree with the advice given so far since you said you have a 140/160 timed/BR split. Both are big red flags that you need to work on your fundamentals and at the very least your LG skills should be more on point than a 140 would indi…
