I'm waiting on my September score to see if I need to retake (goal was 167+) but if I do decide to retake, I'll go back to my previous regimen of between 4-5 complete timed PTs per week. I work full time so my schedule during the week is mostly dri…

Madeleine, I'll give the same advice to you as I've given to others...because it was given to me and it worked out. Take the test at a law school if you can. Typically you get the big long desks that wrap around a room that law schools seem to lov…

Jiminy, the web feature that supports the flip is only supported by certain browsers. From the posts I've seen here, it sounds like some folks are having good luck with Firefox and chrome, so I think you might try one of those to see if that gets it…

Hi Zara, Here ya go, in JY's own words: http://classic.7sage.com/lesson/conditional-rules-trigger-v-irrelevant/ Also, something one of th4 other 7Sager's pointed me to early on: if you do a CTRL-F (aka Find) on the Course page, you can usually sea…

I agree with my island friend above but I don't think you should go this route. I think you probably have a better chance of being admitted if you retake and do better the second time around. The number of applicants applying at transfer is smalle…

I would try to change locations. If it won't let you, give them a call during the week and ask to change locations for free to a location with room. Also, word from the wise, take it at a law school if you can. You'll be more likely to end up wit…

Hey Allison, Sorry to hear about the bubbling. It could happen to any of us. I think since you were already scoring so high, I would do super hardcore BR. By that, I mean following the tips of some of the other scorers in your range who have pos…

Write out an example of each and name them for a memorable word in your example. Then refer to them not as valid form # whatever, but instead as valid argument ninja turtle, or valid argument Skywalker. Or you could think of them in terms of their…

Yes, it tells LSAC that the other people who don't feel as confident as you do that they are not lying. Your report corroborates theirs and adds weight to the consideration that perhaps Pace should not be allowed to administer the test in the futur…
-
@drackery Yes, scout your center. Two reasons: you don't want to get lost on the day of, and you want to know what you're walking in to. I went to my site the day before and learned the parking garage, got a map of the floor plan, looked at thermos…
-
Wow, even if I scored above my average, I hope no one ever calls me a jumper. Wouldn't mind scoring above average though...
-
Hm, that's a tough one. I tend to lean on the side of more information being better, but I know some folks go the other way. I think I would want to keep my score, even if I did poorly, just so I'd be able to see my errors so I'd know how to study…

You're a beast @grace! I never could have done it sick. Good luck in December!
-
If you retake, try to retake it at a laws school since they usually have theater seating with large curving desks instead of chair desks. Also, if you don't tell the LSAC, how will they know? I'm sure they want the best conditions for their test t…
-
Bah, my experience was totally underwhelming. Nothing special to report. The chairs were even comfortable! I had trained for months on a crappy wooden chair so I'd be ready if they gave us junk chairs. With the exception of how long it took to g…

Hi @rkg, The "curve" is the number of questions you can get wrong and still score a 170. You get your raw score, say 101 right (I wish!!!) and they translate that to be 180 or perfect. For each raw score, they calculate an equivalent normalized …
-
Hi John, Sadly yes, you are penalized for blank answers. For those who are taking in December take note, guess if you don't know. -1 is -1, doesn't matter if you got it wrong or just plain guessed. Same goes for +1. That's why the LSAT score is…

Don't eat anything you have not already eaten. You need to keep your body running on whatever fuel you've been giving it. Any changes could throw you off..why risk it? Just make sure you get up early enough so that you have time to go through you…
-
Sorta... You can filter that way for any given PT, but I don't think you can do it across all PTs. What you could do is go to Resources > LSAT Analytics and then pick any test... don't both filling in answers unless you want to. Click score to …
-
Ha, you won't be tossed out like a drunk. That suggestion was just for convenience. If you have your own timing method that works well and you're confident you can do it quickly and accurately, then do it. I'll be right there with you - one analo…
-
I think saving the tests for after the course is particularly helpful if you've not seen conditional logic before - I hadn't and I'm glad I waited. Reason is I would have felt like I wasted the material. Like a 16 year old driving a Ferrari... ver…

Ha! What an awesome surprise to come home to Thank you 7Sage!! My kindle has been severely neglected since March when I started studying. Will be nice to use this gift to re-populate it with post-LSAT reading that has nothing to do with physics, a…

Just FYI, terms of service specifically say you can't download without permission. Offline would be cool, but the videos are how they make money. Without DRM, downloading gets a bit hairy.

My printer settings for just about every PT: Print pages 3-35, 43-45, double sided, flip on long edge. For individual PT sections (if you bought the LG bundle): Print pages 3-11, double sided, flip on long edge. I'd bet all the money in my pockets…

Sicsemper, my recommendation to study up on weird games was made to a high scorer. If you're not realistically aiming for a 170+, I would advise working on any non-weird games that you struggle with. The reason is this: If you're not 170+, then y…

"That one you will be taking in December." JY, your sense of humor has made this very long process enjoyable. You're a great teacher. Thanks for the pep-talk!
-
Hi Tanya, I made a suggestion for a page like this to be created, but currently one doesn't exist. Also, there are not video explanations for every LR. There are LR videos for all the full PTs included in your package, but for LR prior to 35, the…
-
I mean like super early, like from PTs 1-12. If you've got them through 7Sage or the books, definitely look them over. They're super bizarre. A significant number of JY's videos for those games start with this phrase, " so this game is really wei…
-
Only watch the videos for the sections/question types you're not perfect in. You clearly already have a good system - don't mess with that a week before the test. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I'd do a mix of old PTs, and really old games. …
