  • Knew what it was just from the screenshot... One of my all time faves...
  • The explanations are the whole reason to get the ultimate and they are exactly what you're paying for since PDFs are now effectively banned. The only thing I would caution you to understand is that when you upgrade, you only get an extra month of ac…
  • While distractions can be a problem, I think your bigger issue is in your fundamentals because your best and worst sections should stay fairly consistent from test to test barring extreme easiness or difficulty between sections. Since you haven't be…
  • I would do more now and less later to give your brain a slight break. 5 is likely cutting into your BR time so I wouldn't go over 4 unless you're sure you can handle it and won't burn out. In my opinion the week before the test is not the time to tr…
  • They are made to comply with the LSAC rules but we've all heard stories about crazy proctors that like to play by their own rules. So just be aware of what could happen. If you get one like that I'd recommend also sometimes practicing with an ordina…
  • We say people are wasting PTs if they do them before they go through the curriculum here or with some other prep course. While some say to PT as you go, I think it's better to wait until after you've completed the curriculum so you know all the tool…
  • That can be a product of having improved over the course of taking them consecutively, but if you skip around you can get a better feel for how different they really are.
  • If you're in the PTing phase I think that more time should be spent on BR than drilling. I would only use drilling to help a particular weakness (e.g.- grouping games, NA questions, etc.) Two PTs per week until October means you'll have about 20 mor…
  • Was that just one test? Or is that an average of several of your most recent? If it's the former, you have a lot more work to do than you think, but if its the latter then it will be a bit more doable, though jumping into that score band is incredib…
  • You'll get really varied opinions on this. There are definite changes from the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s. Some people find it more challenging in the more recent tests, but some people feel the changes play to their strengths and they find it a lit…
  • If you're not already doing 5 section timed PTs, that could be a good use of these extra sections that you have on hand. Just put the single section as your first section and then follow it with the PT as if you were taking the real LSAT, and don't …
  • Yes, you can pay for it whenever you want and start uploading stuff as soon as you like.
  • Well there are too many factors to mention for such a vague question with no details, but in general if you can't study more than a couple hours a day you should start much earlier than you otherwise might need to. If you're not taking it until June…

  • First of all this isn't really a diagnostic, it's your first full PT after learning some sort of curriculum. I have no idea what your actual diagnostic was, but unless it was over a 160, then a 156 is not horrid, and a 169 BR is very respectable for…
  • No problem at all, set it up whenever you want. Add schools to your list, and then once you're ready you can pay for the CAS and start uploading everything (LORs, Transcripts, etc.) so you're ready to go when the time comes.
  • No magic...just practice... #hardwork #dedication
  • The LSAT has changed many times over the years since it was first administered in the middle of the 20th century. The "modern" LSAT has only been around since 1991 so the old stuff is generally useless to study from since LSAC has changed the test s…
  • @"juan_name" said: What study strategy worked for you? Not spending all your time on the 7Sage Forums instead of doing PTs... haha jk... sort of... :P
  • Always time yourself, first with a stopwatch and unlimited time, then later with a timer.
  • Schools only care about the highest score (with very few exceptions) and the level of school you're talking about only cares about the highest score. A higher score will absolutely put you in a better position to negotiate scholarships and December …
    in Dilemma! Comment by Pacifico July 2015
  • No but I did have my first LSAT nightmare this morning in which there were two answer sheets, one scantron and the other looking like it was bubbles drawn by a child. For whatever reason I only filled in the latter and then with 30 seconds to go in …
  • I wouldn't bother skipping around as it may have unintended consequences (e.g.- bubbling errors) and wouldn't likely help that much. I think the best advice I've seen about this is to just feign interest for those 3.5 minutes that it takes to read t…
  • For anyone who comes across this wondering what was said, this user was asking whether or not to complete the grammar section... Now they are a cash register apparently...
  • It doesn't take long so you may as well do it... If you got a half decent college education you won't necessarily need it but it's not going to hurt you and will give you a good intro to JY's style. Just crank it up to 1.7x and enjoy the show.
  • Definitely be careful of doing that too much in LG, especially if your game board is on point or it's an easy game. You're just wasting time eliminating wrong answers if you know the answer 100% in advance.

  • Just to clarify, I used the 40 minutes to illustrate a point, though if you want to try that then I would only do it for drilling a section. Don't waste full PTs on non-test day conditions if you don't need to. Get in a solid BR and it's like taking…
  • For LG, take a look at this strategy guide I made and hit me up with any questions: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2737/logic-games-attack-strategy I used that methodology until I got down to -0 to -3 for a full section and that s…
  • Also, you should likely be in your PT phase by now, so you can just integrate the above strategy as a warmup or separate drilling component.
  • Here's my LG strategy guide I made to help people in similar situations. Check it out and hit me up if you have any questions: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2737/logic-games-attack-strategy
  • I don't know that you can really pre-phrase those types of questions as uniformly as you might be able to during LR. Aside from MP and Word Meaning questions I generally don't pre-phrase during RC because I don't feel like most of the question types…
