@Rosenkranz said: How much time do you have before your desired or a later acceptable admissions cycle? I will be doing March and June in the full understanding that I might not reach my full potential on the test by either date. I'd…

From what I've read the advantages seem to cancel out any disadvantages for lots of people. For example, I've read LR is much easier on the digital screen. RC however is not. I've heard LG is unchanged because you're given paper. Bubbling is quic…

@Gunningfor121 said: @"Pride Only Hurts" It's frustrating because I'm on PT 57 but my LR score is fluctuating (in my mind) by a lot. Some times it's -1/-2 on a section and then sometimes it's -5. I don't know if that is pretty standard but it…

Hard to pinpoint. I believe the most significant change happens in the 60s but instead of looking for when the change happens, focus on taking it one question at a time. Whenever you run into a difficult question that seems extraordinarily difficu…

I don't think you'd be wasting your time. But I'd be sure to incorporate some comparative passages in your studies. I don't think you need to be doing fully timed sections just yet. Do a passage timed and then BR it. After your BR it check out J…

I think anything is possible but do I think it's realistic to go from -10 to -0 by June? No. (I think a more realistic goal is -4). I would be less concerned with perfection and more concerned with the baby steps it takes to get there. Before you c…

Lots of great advice. 7 Sage by itself is more than enough to make significant improvement. But if the trainer can offer some useful advice on even just a few kinds of LR question types it's probably worth it. Thanks everyone!

@eRetaker said: I don't have the 7Sage ultimate+ so I can't comment on the amount of overlap, but the Trainer is a great book. I found the LG and LR to be very informative, and I supplemented both sections with the LG bible and Manhattanprep L…

I'm lucky enough to have a pretty flexible job in that I can come to work early and put in two hours of fool-proofing before most emails start coming in. I also do an RC passage during lunch. So by the time I'm off work I've touched LG and RC. Wh…

What is this set theory you're using? I feel like for these sorts of translations it will probably do more harm than good. The translation should be almost instinctual. "Each and every member of Q is omnipotent" is the same as saying "All members …

I only recently started skipping in RC. I'm still not great at seeing an RC question and being able to tell that it's a timeskink. typically if I start searching for something and don't really know where to look, I skip. However, I think it's also…

It was a pretty significant score drop for me. Shot right back up afterwards though so BR and don't fret.

Don't wast any more PTs if you know you'll need a retake. They're invaluable.
-
Hey! It looks like you're missing a pretty normal amount of RC questions. I started around -12 and through exposure was able to bring in down to about -6. I'm still working on improving more in that section myself but I think most people will impr…

We're in the same boat. I know JY is doing Nov test BR sessions in January. I'm probably going to wait until then to review my Nov take. Until then, I'm just going back into CC to find any weak spots in my foundational comprehension. Will also us…

Truly hope nobody gives up on their dream simply because this test has proven to be a more arduous undertaking than we expected. There are plenty of really inspirational stories on 7sage from people who started in the 140s and struggled their way up…

@advokatethis said: How does a cancel on your record compare to a retake? I am planning to take the June or July 2019 as my first try, with the September date as a retake option to still apply early. I have a low GPA I need to offset with a hi…

Wow this is incredible. Nothing more impressive than giving birth and scoring a 172 on the LSAT a couple weeks later

@"Cant Get Right" said: You'll be testing in July as well, haha. I am in the process of writing a post about this actually, but for the July test you'll get to see your score before you decide to cancel or not. This is such an enormous advanta…

@"Cant Get Right" said: I think good decision to sit out a cycle. Start by taking better care of yourself. I get the stresses and pressures that go into all of this, and I had to be proactive. Put yourself on a schedule and develop a rout…

Finally got to look at my breakdown. I bombed my second LR section which is usually my strongest section. But still scored 13 points above my 147 diagnostic. Even though I’m a little disappointed I’m looking forward to improving some more with eve…

@"lady macbeth" said: ahhhhh went -0 in games. but LR killed me! How did you get your breakdown? I’m pretty sure I had the opposite problem. Unfortunately went 5 under my average but I was going to retake regardless so I’ll be ok.

Just got mine. Good luck everyone!

@parkervukich said: Hey all, this may seem like a stupid question but can someone explain what the curve does in terms of scoring, specifically that is. I just used my raw score conversion after each PT. Is the curve what would determine those…

@JK_fish92 said: Update: Sorry to hear that. LSAC clearly has some work to do with how they train/choose proctors. Does anyone know why the LSAC doesn't have their proctors use a digital stopwatch instead of an old school analog clock? My…

@LSATcantwin said: Yep, many people pay 2-3 deposits or more. And some are up to like $1000 Wow. This is really good to know. At least I'm not finding out a month before the deposits are due.
-
For those of you stressing about your score keep in mind it's all about perspective. Next year will bring multiple opportunities to improve. I've already come to terms with the idea of delaying a cycle. (obviously I don't want to) but because I've a…
