  • @Jane_lsat said: I was trying to save the same copy for BR, and I found that circling marks were difficult to erase. I am taking June test, so need to make sure ZERO bubbling error. I totally get this! I HATE marking books... so what I do in…
  • If you ever find yourself able to afford the 7Sage Starter course, I HIIIIIIGHLY recommend it. I am self-studying as well, but after a few months of studying, I purchased the Starter to supplement my books. I believe it's $179 which is less than the…
  • I would call the university's registrar's office.
  • I was asking these questions: Between LG and LR which one do you feel you are "better" at? Do you consider yourself more creative or more logical? Between winning a game/puzzle or winning an argument/debate, which one would you find more enjoyable…

  • I'm also a working mom of 2 and have ADHD It's hard but doable! I just want to encourage you that with a 141 and 6 weeks, you have plenty of time to improve! To best help you, just want to ask you a couple of questions... What's your target scor…

  • Hey @Mike_Ross ! The not having to bubble/worry about mistaken scantron is HUGE for me. I wrote this earlier: @yafrcho said: I personally feel like I prob spent more time than average bubbling/double checking. Before the start of the test whe…
  • @angalfaria said: I want to know what kind of format I can use for the digital study? I'm not sure I understand what you mean by format? I have the 7sage starter course which gives access to a number of PTs in digital tester format, so I use…
  • @Lawster9 thanks so much for the info! I just updated my post with some images of my LG scrap paper use.
  • @Linda1205 It looks like you have the Ultimate+ so you should have access to all the 7Sage PTs in digital format! If you click on the practice tests that are available to you you should see an option to take the test via the 7Sage digital tester.
  • @LSATBYEBYE I'll post something either later tonight or tomorrow... I realized that I can't retroactively go back to the questions so I'll screenshot a PT section tomorrow. But basically, I used to put / marks in between sentences or words to segmen…
  • Have you checked out the memory method lesson yet? I was in a similar boat as you and this method has been a total game changer for me. It took some time practicing but I eventually got the hang of it. I'm now able to get through the passages within…
  • it's #2! at the core, assumption negation is simply negating the meaning of the sentence. "it is not the case that Amy never goes to the movies" means Amy sometimes goes to the movies (or #1) "sometimes/some" negates to "never/none"... so #2 woul…
  • @Mike_Ross @2ndTimestheCharm @alumivacui I just posted about how I've been adapting to digital... I don't know why this thread didn't pop up when I tried doing a search about digital! (I came across this just manually going through the forum). ht…
  • @drbrown2 I do think the mechanics has made a bigger difference for me than skill improvement. Just to clarify, I'm not finishing the sections with 5 mins to spare (well, except LG). I deduced that I gained about 5 mins, because when I took PTs "unt…
  • Should be BR-ing the whole test! I have tried both -- same day and next day -- and personally I found both to be equally effective. It might largely depend on your learning style/personality.
  • My personality is exactly the type to attempt problems until I figure it out and like you, it's been very effective for me thus far. With that said, I used the PowerScore books to try and self-study and it got me to the upper 150s/lower 160s. Howeve…
  • @yurple591 said: Will we not be able to diagram must-be-true/must-be-false questions on the logical reasoning section? Sometimes those are not so easy to do in your head... You'll be given blank sheets of paper you can take notes on with a p…
  • Thanks for these examples! @"Lucas Carter" said: JY refers to this flaw as "The oldest trick in the book" because in some form or another it makes an appearance on every test. That's actually the exact line that had me wondering... I know t…
  • @"Alan Cheuk" said: @Lemongrab We will have an option to do problem sets in the future, but for now you can extend the amount of time you have with the timing options (third icon from the left, it looks like a clock) for up to 70m/section. Yo…
  • From my exp at testing centers, they've become super strict and if it's not a basic analog watch (literally measuring hour, minute, seconds, and potentially date) they say no; I've even seen someone get dismissed after they sat in their seat but bef…
  • This is really encouraging. I got a 161 on the Nov test and then a 161 on the March test... but for March we had some major distractions at the testing center so for me it was actually encouraging I was still able to score 161 given all the drama. …
  • I think you're putting too much stock into the idea that T14 look down on multiple scores... 4 of my really good friends went to Harvard, Yale, Chicago, and NYU and they all took tests multiple times, each of them scoring in the 160s their first tim…
  • It sounds like you burned out a little bit! If your test is in June, my recommendation is actually to just take some time off. I think forcing yourself to study when you're not in the best frame of mind may be counterproductive. I'm taking the March…
  • I feel like we are very similar in a lot of respects so hopefully this is helpful! I also self-studied for about the same amount of time and I had been averaging 156-158 occasionally hitting 160+... my November score was 161. My ultimate target is 1…
  • Hi everyone -- sorry if this has already been answered previously. I tried searching for it but didn't find quite what I was looking for. With the November results + test materials available -- now what? I've printed everything out but I'm not sure …
  • Citizenship should NOT be the reason you put it off, especially if you're a green card holder. Citizenship issues factor in most likely for employment related issues, and as a green card holder, you have all the same employment benefits as a citizen…
  • It seems like the issue might be that you are misunderstanding the objective of strengthen/weaken questions which is why you might be struggling with these questions. In S/W questions, understanding the rules of logic is only important to the extent…
  • I think it's incredibly rare, but I think it happens. I don't know if these were totally new games, but PT 72 game 4 (Sept 2014) and PT 67 game 4 (Oct 2012) were 2 out of the 30 or so PTs that I've taken that were pretty WTF for me, and I didn't com…
