  • @rebelwendy If LGs are giving you trouble, check out my post about strategy for the bundle here: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2737/logic-games-attack-strategy
  • Welcome! I think you seem to have a good thing going now having finished the curriculum and working the bundle with a bit over four months to go until the test. I think that a disciplined approach to the next four months of studying with appropriate…
  • thanks to @nicole.hopkins for the 35minutes recommendation... I just started PTing for October and had time tracking issues on the first two PTs which mostly hurt me just because I was so distracted... I ordered a 35minutes watch last week and can't…
  • Hang in there and don't get discouraged! Just keep pushing and it should get easier as you acclimate to the most modern/recent PTs. I know time is getting tight for June now but I'd definitely take at least a day off per week to reset your brain a b…
  • @ddakjiking is totally right, this is a violation of 7Sage's TOS, and LSAC's regulations as well. It's definitely frowned upon to solicit things like this here. Your best bet is to check out the list of affordable PTs that Dillon has put together fo…
  • Definitely start with the bundle, you want to generally keep 36+ unseen for PT purposes. Especially in the first dozen or so games you will see some bizarre games, many of which include game boards already. When you watch the explanations, JY will p…
  • There's obviously a host of factors at work here, but the T14 exists for a reason (besides prestige), and at or near the top among those reasons is that there are significantly diminishing returns the further removed you get from schools that are ra…
  • The first type can be among the harder types of questions because more often than not the answer choices are pretty long and dense, while the second type is probably among the easier types of questions. I'll tackle the second type first since it's e…
  • I was getting super worried when I read half of the posts here and still hadn't seen Better Call Saul, glad it got its due. I love Veep and I really need to watch more of it. I feel like it's the closest thing to the original Arrested Development in…
  • All the advice given so far is pretty spot on, I would only add that your strategy would be okay for the moment if you were prepping for October. Since you're going for June it is well into crunch time now so everything you do should be timed except…
  • Nicole raises a good point and after looking at some schools that I'm not applying to it seems there is some more variability in what certain schools are open to. Most are still looking for someone to tell them how well you could succeed in law sch…
  • As a very broad and general rule, law schools favor LORs from professors while business schools favor LORs from bosses/managers/supervisors that you have had at a job. Law schools are most concerned with your academic work ethic and potential for su…
  • I think this is the type of question Dean Spivey or Karen Buttenbaum would answer freely on their TLS advice thread. I've seen somewhat similar questions on TLS before and the answer is usually attempting something like this will blow up in your fac…
  • If you're finding out which ones are incorrect then you aren't blind reviewing, you're reviewing with new knowledge and are only choosing from four answer choices. Especially for questions that you pared down to two answer choices then you are highl…
  • I wish I had a gap that wide but I hate second guessing myself so my BR is always 2-5 points higher than my score, without fail. Anyways, how many PTs have you taken and how many do you have left? If you're PT'ing in the 160 range and BR'ing in the …
  • Yeah that's definitely more than enough time, especially because the curriculum goes super fast the second time around (use that 1.7x or 2.0x if you can handle it, and just skip the stuff you know cold). Also, once you get rolling on the LG Bundle i…
  • To echo what @"Fritz A W" said, it wasn't until I had to take off a few days of LSAT studying to write a paper for one of my graduate classes that I realized how much had really sunk in from all the LR prep especially. I had to write a critical revi…
  • I'm not sure why you felt the need to attack two people who have done nothing but try to help you, especially when you took the time to PM me with more details and I responded to you with more advice. I stand by my comment that for those who put in …
  • I think that was inevitable... that is what goes in them after all...
  • It's time consuming for one, and you risk erasing the wrong things and waste too much mental energy on keeping everything straight. This energy is better spent making inferences as you rewrite your game boards than by erasing. If you have a game wit…
  • The above advice is good but I think we need to know more to help you more than that. Did you use 7Sage? Are you blind reviewing and if so what do your BR scores look like? If you're not blind reviewing you need to start. If you are then that will g…
  • As one of the few older people (I'm 31) on here with a kid (one more coming in August), I think what most of the childless crowd doesn't realize is that there is no good time to focus on anything for yourself once you have kids, so you might as well…

  • Can't wait to see people requesting other people's BM schedules in Excel format...
  • also, the writing section? who cares... that's the time to let it all out... then just write a bathroom addendum at the bottom of whatever you managed to write in response to the question
  • I think it's important to always time yourself with a stopwatch no matter what you're doing so you can see your progress. Take as much time as you want, but at least have that metric to measure improvement. And then use a timer for when you either f…
  • You can definitely do this, I've only been doing a few hours a day so far since I'm still working, but I've already gotten through 25% of the bundle in just a week so I could be done by the end of the month without increasing my load at all. If you …
  • Absolutely true, I just think the past few years where there has been a steep decline in apps especially from 170+ students that the conventional wisdom that some schools were invulnerable to this has changed as we have seen medians dipping across t…
  • Never gets old!
  • Thanks Dillon! Could you please pin this to the top of the discussion boards so we have somewhere to direct people who keep starting new threads about this? Thanks!
