  • @Nunuboy1994 said: You have to remember that there other aspects of your candidacy or really personality in general that matter just as much or perhaps more. Did Barrack Obama score a 180 on the LSAT? No. Obama scored around a 167. However, Ob…
  • 7Sage Podcast, Law School Toolbox are my picks for LSAT/Law School podcasts
  • Sure! For LR, first ID the question type, label the stimulus parts, and do your best pre-phrase of what is wrong with the argument or what is being disagreed about or what inferences you can make depending on the question type. For each answer, wri…
  • I agree that it is important to do them untimed at first, but eventually timed sections is the way to go. You will still see the questions untimed during BR, and should never check answers until you have spent enough time with a question to understa…
  • It will be administered through your computer with a test proctor program at a time of your choosing. Just go to the LSAC website for more info (there is a big LSAT Writing info tab I believe). If you've already taken the LSAT then your previous wri…
  • Of course. It might take some time to learn the test and improve your timing, but you should see a big score jump just from learning LG and learning different LR question types. Study hard!

  • RC is learnable because we don’t all naturally pay attention to the important structural details that RC questions test is on. Seems like you’re starting at a good place.
  • I’m sure our admissions experts will help here, but I think it depends on the school and what their needs are for that class. Not sure how predictive LSN data is for scholarships.
  • Haha check the date of the post! There are other study groups forming right now if you want to filter the discussion posts to more recent ones. There is also a Study Buddy finder under the Discussion tab.
  • There are more LSAT offerings now that it is being offered digitally. You never know how many PTs you will need to reach your potential. The test also has some variance so you should plan on taking it multiple times if you want to maximize your scor…
  • My advice is to give the test the amount of attention and effort that you can look back on without regrets. With your GPA and other academic/extra curricular background you have an opportunity at some really great schools. If you are going to wait a…
  • Just start LG in the CC. You should try to mix in a repeat problem set here and there to stay fresh and add variety to your prep, but you’ll be returning to the CC here and there to address your weaknesses once you begin taking PTs. Those weaknesses…
  • Can you jot it down on your page for notes? Just maybe set aside some space for each passage for structural notes. Not sure how much writing it down in a separate area will help you versus keeping that information in your head.
  • Our premise says if Justifiably Regretted, then should not be Desired. Our conclusion says Many (some) Forgone Pleasures should not be Desired. So we need something that says Many (some) Forgone Pleasures are Justifiably Regretted. In lawgic: Pr…
  • If you scored at the low end of your range after a disastrous 1st section (worst section to have a disaster on, especially medical), then you should feel good about your chances of improving on the next test. Focus on your health. Eat well, sleep we…
  • Can you double check the question cite? 3.2.10 is a MBT question
  • @Regis_Phalange63 said: I'm writing it outside North America so it's a late June test. Speaking of BR score, interestingly, my BR score has never been lower than what I got on 75 along with the actual PT score. I couldn't review today because …
  • Just focus on your BR score and not your PT score. It’s always easier to look at a lower PT score a few days later with some confidence that you spotted your mistakes during BR. Even better, if you didn’t spot the mistakes you think you should have,…
  • J.Y. talks in some of his live recordings of his fresh takes about doing a "shallow dip" and then a "deep dive" for some parallel questions and others that are heavy on conditional logic. I only diagram when a question has conditional language that …
  • Check out this post CC webinar https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/
  • We aren't attacking the premise. Our job is to identify the part of the argument, not to evaluate the argument. B and D are the only close ones, but D is wrong because the philosopher is not saying Graham's conclusion isn't true (in other words, th…
  • Try not to look at the clock too often. Maybe just keep an eye on it whenever you do a page turn. Focus on maintaining good momentum, skipping questions that stump you, and if you start losing it or your mind wanders take 5-10 seconds to close your …
  • Premise: Removing asbestos disturbs (posing health risk), leaving it alone poses no health risk Conclusion: Govt should not require removal of all asbestos Gap: What if asbestos can be removed safely and the fibers contained/prevented from releasi…
  • Jorge just says unique artwork must be preserved. Aesthetic or historic belong to posterity is the premise supporting J’s conclusion that unique works must be preserved, not a stipulation. A describes a unique piece of art, so J would say the owner…
  • A is correct because it supports the idea that the governments were carrying out persecution against these groups because of their own agenda, not because they were appeasing the majority. They launched propaganda campaigns. It seems like they were …
  • I agree with @2ndTimestheCharm, the book had useful sections and should help look at these questions from a different point of view no matter how far along you are in your studies. The drills in the beginning of the book are good practice for simpli…
  • And to answer your first question, don't worry about mixing in newer games when you start fool proofing. Just add games from PTs you do and go through them again once or twice before your test.
  • I think you have to do both. You should start LG right away and try to do a full section per day (some games you will do several times, and revisit the next day). Even if you don't get through all 36 sections you can still continue fool proofing unt…
  • We'll have to clarify that, because I plan on applying as early as possible and July is my backup for June. Don't want to have to retake again later in the cycle than necessary!
  • @Lsatminded said: @NickIllini said: I generally watch the videos for questions I circled. Occasionally a couple where I didn't circle as well how do you know when to watch the ones for ones you didn't circle? Just to jump…
