  • @vduran1988 Thanks so much for your post! I feel very similarly and am glad to know I'm not alone. My game plan is to take Feb, apply and see how it goes. I figure if I want to, I can always still delay a year and retake in either June or Sept. Wis…
  • @paniz.gh91 Dillon is right that we can't confirm the real date but I think it's been historically treated as a 60s test, which seems right given the feel of the test. That said, in the list of LSAT explanations for 7Sage it's been placed between 75…
  • @Sami Thank you! Yes that makes sense. I think I went too far into that one. It's just not the structure no matter how the parts are assigned
  • @brennan I have done a ton of LG - I'm sure well over a hundred games but it's a struggle. I'm still mostly leaving a full game untouched. I left the section almost blank the first time around. I've gone through most LG sections from the early PTs…
  • @caseylee Many props to you for overcoming your addiction. I agree that it definitely speaks to your character. I can understand why it continues to be a defining experience. I'm not an expert but I would personally gravitate towards your other opt…

  • I always thought the general rule was: - Safety: 75th+ percentile for both GPA and LSAT. - Fit - In the middle 50 percent. - Reach - At/below/near the 25th percentile do you see the ranking or specialization? I think if you're very interested in…
  • I feel about LG the way you feel about RC It's killing my score and improvements cannot happen fast enough! It seems you've already tried out a lot of the mainstream advice so I'll veer away from that. Given how bad I am at LG, I cannot afford to …
  • For LR, I have abandoned a degree of certainty for efficiency and it's gotten me some points back (credit goes to @"Cant Get Right" who brought it up in his BR group). I've forced myself to be OK with not reading every answer choice for every questi…
  • As long as it works stylistically and doesn't feel forced, I don't see why it would be an issue. It sounds like an interesting topic
  • @cam So good that you're doing at least half of them in a more unpredictable setting! I'm going to force myself to take at least a few outside of my house. @montaha.rizeq I've really got my fingers crossed that no one with hiccups is in my test I…
  • I felt like I did much better in December. @TheLoftGuy I'm sure you did That seems to be the trend with 7sagers who are generally a mindful bunch when it comes to retakes. I'd definitely trust your instincts. I'm guessing that wherever the Cornel…
  • @chowden89a Happy to help. And yeah, you're definitely not alone
  • I read on the Cornell application page that most people that retake the LSAT do not see an increase higher than 1 or 2 points. I thought it was an interesting factoid and it stuck with me. I can't speak as to what data/source they were referencing.
  • To say it a different way, I tend to think of the support as having to do with the relationship between the premise and the conclusion. We may have one or more premises but we may or may not have support. I had the same question as you and went bac…
  • Here is an example of one the 7sage edited personal statements that deals with domestic abuse: 7sage.com/personal-statement-before-and-after As you noted in your post, it seems that the professional advice is to focus primarily on how you changed/…
  • @austin.brumbaugh I'm in your boat as well - LG is a section that was not at all intuitive for me. The timing for the LSAC's LG change is really rather unfortunate. I now feel a lot more pressure to have a near flawless grasp of the other sections. …
  • Just want to echo @dml277. I got an incredible amount out of the session yesterday and really appreciate all your insights! Thank you
  • Like @"Alex Divine" said, it's unlikely that someone with no background seeing both games will flag one as necessarily harder. That said some of the new, out of the box games are more difficult to prepare for - at least through the traditional mea…
  • So for me, in real life, I'm not about retributive violence. But on this show, I really didn't mind it so much. @bjphillips5 I agree with you. It's kind of got a Tarantino feel I definitely feel like I'm rooting for the hosts right now though I'm …
  • Ouuu. Very intriguing hypotheses. I totally agree that there will be new worlds! And that it's quite likely that Ford is either not dead or there will be a Ford host similar to Bernard (my favorite!) next season. Also definitely hoping that @bjphill…
  • Please count me in as well! Thanks for leading this
  • @a.ruqaiia I'd recommend going to the blind review sessions. They've been an enormous help for me and my score jumped up after I started going to them. I highly recommend them. Something else that was helpful for me was going through all the questi…
  • Thanks for this @bjphillips5. So happy this happened I read this and thought of the scene where Dolores realizes who she must become. Too funny.
  • I still use them to try out new strategies @justdoit Yes! Okay, that's exactly what I was hoping to use them for. I was a bit unsure after trying it out because the tests felt so different but it sounds like it's been a worthwhile tactic for you. Th…
  • Thanks @desire2learn and @bjphillips5! Appreciate you guys weighing in For context, I've been studying pretty intensively since September. I wanted an early PT to practice more aggressive skipping with. But I found drilling really early PTs LR …
  • Thanks @dennisgerrard and @"S.P. 170"!
  • I had the same question I got it from Amazon. It's part of the book Superprep II. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0990718689/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  • Thanks @twssmith It was definitely hard coming to terms with the fact that the December ship had sailed. Thanks for all your support during my "deliberations" . I'm excited!!
  • @nessa.k13.0 count me in
  • I keep seeing this expression about taking Preptest cold. What is that exactly? Agree with the other posters. In the context you're using it however, it may be that you didn't "warm up". Many folks recommend doing a couple easy LR problems or an …
