I can't speak to what you or anyone else should do, but my plan is to wait until I know my score. My score will give me a better idea of which schools would likely admit me if I applied. This should save me both application money and gas money by …

Hi Alice, I started in a similar place as you and if you're aiming for February then you'll study as long as I have for my September date. If you actually do the work, meaning you watch the lessons and pay attention... you don't zoom through them …

@lschoolgo and other curious 7Sagers: The long life cartridge only costs that much if you get the official brand name one from brother. Tons of other manufacturers make it too, for between $10-20. For example, on Amazon, the Brother one is $45 and…

I can't answer this for you, but there are two things you need to consider in answering your own question. If you take a lot of PTs between now and test day, do you have enough time to properly blind-review your work (at least the questions on whic…

Jefferson, Smart move in pushing until at least December. If you're not pressed for time and money is tight, then maybe even February. The 7Sage courses are excellent. If you give it adequate time (maybe over winter/spring break if you take the …

Grace, I have ultimate and the additional material in the early lessons was very helpful. I also started taking the earlier PTs that come with the Ultimate and I'm only now at PT 52 and plan to complete through PT72 by September's test date. FWIW…

I guess I'm the oddball out in that I don't even notice it. The only time I notice it is when I've run out of time at the end of a section and draw a line through one letter for multiple questions (figure gotta get lucky at least once!). Try really…

@ttunden Nick asked for advice regarding where to go and when to take the test, not whether or not he should become a lawyer. Calling him old isn't relevant and it's rude which isn't in the spirit of 7Sage discussions. For shame.

I think JY and Jon would say don't take the test until you're ready. If you're not ready for September, push your test date back. Plenty of schools (including the most selective) list the December LSAT as an acceptable date for their cycle. I thi…

Jon, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Mind if I ask why you were considering going back? Presumably you left for a reason. Did you recently miss it or were there other considerations involved in your temptation?

Hi JSK, My two cents: It either won't matter, or it could hurt. The lower ranked schools only care about your grades and LSAT. They're worried about going out of business and since ranking affects their enrollment #s, and thus their cash inflow, t…

Brother HL-2270DW (which has approx. 1 billion reviews on amazon) plus a TN-450 generic toner cartridge (the printer already comes with the normal size cartridge pre-filled and lasts a pretty long time) cost about $120. I bought 3 packs of paper for…

It may not be highlighted in the list of links to other questions, but it is still the title of the page. If you look about 5 pixels above the video, you'll see the problem # like this, "LSAT Prep Test 49 (June 2006) - S2 - Question 02" followed o…

I talked with Susan about something similar, but mostly to help her get an idea of recognizing game types. Certainly not as comprehensive as the LR type cheat sheet post has become but you may find this useful as a starting point for a cheat sheet:…

"Ya, there you go." "Ok, that's nice, but so what?" "Oldest trick in the book."

I think it took me about 12-14 PTs before I started seeing the -2 and -0 land in LG. It was consistently my weakest area. Practice makes perfect. Don't be nervous about low numbers as you get started. The biggest jumps for me came after two revelati…

Using CFC's strategy for creating hypo's and eliminating wrong answers is especially helpful on MBT questions. My LG scores have gone up dramatically since trying this out. Try it!

Sweetsana, The practice test scorer here at 7Sage is THE BOMB!!! If you enter a test or two, it creates these awesome analytics for you, and one of the items is a frequency distribution of your LR question types that includes how frequently they a…

I work full time (I'll be +6 years out of undergrad for my application cycle) and I spend almost every moment of free-time studying. Every other week I go out to comedy night with friends so I don't lose touch. Also, comedy is strangely logical in …

@CFC152436 Using the stem to create a hypothetical and then cross out wrong answers never actually occurred to me as a strategy. I'm sure I've done it, but until I read your comment just now, I don't think I've ever done it consciously. I know I've…

Thanks JY! I can use all the material I can get and your commitment to keeping prep affordable is once against shining through.
-
Glad you find it useful Susan! If anyone else knows of indicators for these or other game types, please post! I always struggle with the more unusual games, so any helpful hints would help me too!

This is great @lsathopeful !! I'll try to keep your format too. Here's my contribution. Necessary Assumption questions (NA): Task: Identify the statement without which the argument falls flat. Difficult because: - Other possible answers are often…

For in/out games, I tend to look for something along the lines of, "Each does exactly one of two things" or "out of x# of people, x# will be selected." For in/out games that have groups on the in or the out side, I usually notice that the pieces ar…

This would be pretty awesome. Has anyone made one of these that they'd be willing to share? -Joe

Jason, I recently started drilling on old LR sections from PT 1-35 and I find it really useful. On weekends I do timed full PTs from 36-Now. On weeknights, I drill on old games and old LR. It helps with familiarity and keeps me sharp. I've noti…

Hi Sarah, I was in a similar boat on the LG section. Pretty good on RC and LR but struggled with LG because I freaked when I couldn't figure out how to diagram something that looked hard. When I started the LG set of lessons 2 weeks ago, there were…

E.T., We may have different goals (mine is to not pay for law school), but I think we all struggle with motivation while working towards our common goal of LSAT preparedness. When I think of all the things I could be doing instead of studying, I ju…
