@twssmith said: I just came across "ACE ACE" on a PT and I like it!!! Can I borrow some of your luck???

Rather than say that you want to BE her, I would mention her as someone you admire a lot (btw didn't she change her name to Clooney? If she did, use her legal name). You can say that she embodies many of the personal/professional qualities that you …

Good luck to everyone! Let's aim to do our best. Cheers.

Her stance isn't total nonsense: without an LSAT score, it's impossible to say whether you're a viable candidate at your target schools. So her letter might never be used or might not be used until next cycle.. With that said, she could be a flake.…

I don't pay attention to this at all. I just transfer my choices to the answer sheet, even if it spells "BAD BAD BAD" I'm plowing forward

@"Tina Cho" said: Thanks. Are you the one who made a thread about improvement on LR? It sounded like you saw your improvement pretty fast...did you do all up PT 35 LR questions or... I did the vast majority of core curriculum. I skipped a few prob…

There's a difference between knowing the fundamentals (lawgic, question types, argument parts) and being able to quickly apply those fundamentals to real problems. If you keep following the 7sage methods (PT, blind review, explanation videos, revi…

I got this wrong the first time, and it was because I didn't identify the conclusion properly. The conclusion is the first sentence and it translates to "Effective Ads ---> Humorous" Our premises translate to "Humorous --> Convey Message" …

@wilderness said: Understood. My problem was that "evaluating legislation" *is* descriptively accurate for what we're doing in the stimulus. In the stimulus, we certainly do consider the consequence of passing (the harm done to free speech when we …
-
Some additional thoughts A) I don't think it changes the argument much. "Evaluating legislation" almost implies considering the consequences of passing vs. the consequences of not passing. This doesn't tell us whether we should or shouldn't suppor…

Still revising my schedule. Probably going to take a PT from 70's this week, and a final PT from 70's next week. In between, I'm going to work on LG.
-
I am aiming for about 20. I also did the core curriculum.
-
@Q.E.D said: That's eerily similar to my situation. Diag 164, sucking wind in LG, can't consistently do 170+, done about 10ish PTs. I started briefly last year but quickly aborted when my friend paused her prep. Just picked up again, and we're plan…

@nstubler said: Can you explain the curve? More specifically, how a -13 would differ from a -14? ((I apologize in advance for my ignorance)). By "-13" they mean a test for which 13 questions wrong equates to a score of 170
-
@Q.E.D said: It's none of my business, but it would be interesting to see where everyone's PTing now who's aiming at 17X in Feb. What was your diagnostic and what's your weakness? My diagnostic was 166 but I didn't time it properly. Realistically,…

between 0 and 3 times per section
-
Like you said, some other test prep companies focus too much on their own strategies and curriculum. In reality, the best prep is practicing real LSAT questions from real PTs. 7Sage website is helpful because it facilitates taking PTs and learning f…
-
First, I think all LR questions are tricky to some extent. Even if a question is 1 star and 89% of 7sagers got it right, it's only "easy" on a relative basis. Second, lack of focus (whether due to fatigue, distractions, etc.) will neutralize any a…

@"Tina Cho" said: This is just another way of saying DNA of moden people and homo sapiens are so similar that we can use either of them to make a conclusion about the other right? (...no?) Let me know if I understand what you said correctly, and i…

@"Tina Cho" said: Wait...so how can they interbreed if there is such a huge time blank (40,000yers and thousands of yrs) isn't it obvious they did not interbreed then? How can they interbreed if they do not exist in the same time range? If they int…
-
@"Tina Cho" said: I'm still not sure about C.... Why do we have to compare DNAs of Home sapiens and Neanderthals? Tina, I don't think your analogy (parents and a kid) is helpful. This question is made easier by familiarity with the topic. So we …

If you can get 175 while resting between sections, then your attention span is pretty good. You can already do 35 minutes. Focus on taking at least one timed PT per week (with same breaks as a real test). It's exhausting but worth it Are you in…

Don't suggest specifics for them to write about until they've agreed to write it -- you don't want to come off as presumptuous. First goal: remind them who you are, say you liked their class, and ask them nicely for a recommendation

@orangebeer said: So do you read all answer choices in easy questions or just pick the one you felt right? I guess you read all answer choices on hard ones but what about for easy ones? And in long stimulus do you actually read all of them or just…

I use Mirado Black Warrior. Lead tip is sometimes unreliable, but that's why I'll bring 4 or 5 sharpened ones with me to the test. The most important thing is a decent eraser. A bad eraser could ruin the answer sheet.

@notguilty90 said: Any advice for increasing speed? I normally run out of time as I get to Q19-20 (21-22 once in a while). My accuracy is acceptable (-2 to -4 on those attempted) but not getting to those last questions, which I would get right have…

If you're already aiming for next cycle, there's no reason to take December when unprepared. I'm only taking December to have a chance of avoiding being forced into the next cycle... that is what's driving my risk/reward calculations
-
If you pay attention to the 7sage core curriculum, you could do significantly better than 8-10 right per section. At this point, you'd make easy improvement by learning the fundamentals
-
College professors tend to be pretty good writers. That could make a difference in terms of the quality of the letter. So I'd try professors first while keeping your boss in mind as another option.

Answer the question as posed. They're not specifically asking "Why Penn?" because they don't want to hear answers like "It's in the Ivy League!" or "The professors are great!" or "I like cheese steaks!" They want to hear 1) Why Penn Law, in partic…
