Your BR scores look good, and suggest you have the fundamentals you need to score that 165. And you have plenty of PT's left, so that's awesome too. There's probably enough time for at least another 20 before June, and it's reasonable to expect tha…

I am no admissions expert, but my gut feeling is that if a school is that bothered by your GPA that they wouldn't take you with a 173, then they probably wouldn't with a 175, seeing how both those scores would be at or above the 75th percentile for …

Don't be discouraged. There are still three months until June, and you are only a few points away from your goal. It's doable, and you can do it. How many PT's have you done totally, and what are your BR scores like? If they are mid 160's to 170 I…

It's a flaw from the correlation does not imply causation family, but I'm not aware of a specific name for it. Different prep companies slice and dice things differently, and I don't think you need to focus a lot on what labels to attach to differe…

Go for it - there's value in knowing where you stand and what's likely to be the biggest struggle for you. Worst case scenario you'll have a less impressive improvement story than if you had taken it cold. But as they say, it's not about where you …

The foolproof for games following @Pacifico 's strategy, all the way. Especially if your biggest problem is confusing notation, spending a few solid weeks - a month going through the games in the early PT's (1-38), repeatedly as detailed in the link…

@nader.parham the CambridgeLSAT pdf's are gone for good. Looks like only paper versions of PT's from now on :-(
-
Only from third party sellers on Amazon, and the unused book goes for an eye popping $95 :-(

Welcome to the forums! Now seeing how this is 7Sage and it's full of people that have been greatly helped by the 7Sage curriculum, I'm going to go ahead and recommend signing up for that (even the Starter package includes all the lessons, it just h…

@Fish0701 I think most people just record the page, not their face or anything like that. In addition to the timing it can help pinpoint other things like crazy skipping around a passage, sloppy rule notation in LG, lengthy times where nothing happe…

"The bundle" is the bundle of LG sections from PT 1-38 (might be 1-36). Used to be available from Cambridge LSAT, but as of now they don't appear to sell it anymore. Seems like you would have to make your own "bundle" by photocopying the LG sectio…

I know it's very difficult to not let anxiety take over, but this is going to be a long journey, and agonizing about what's going to happen IF you get your GPA to 3.0, and IF you get your LSAT to 170 will burn you out and stand in the way of actual…

Welcome, and I hope your back is up to the task!
-
I think going through the syllabus and doing a couple of the problem sets should put you on a good path. The syllabus is structured not only to follow logically and build upon previously discussed skills, but also to expose you to all three section…

Congratulations! Hope you crush it in law school!

@amurphy I'm sorry you are walking through the valley of the shadows right now. But while there is no guarantee that a retake will improve your score, there are plenty of stories on 7Sage (@"Quick Silver" and @"Nicole Hopkins" come to mind immediat…

@170Feb2016 LSAC's admission chances tool can give you a pretty good idea of how others fared with your stats. Entering a 3.1 GPA and a 163 LSAT into their calculator gives you the following chances: Fordham 29-39% (at the median LSAT, quite a bit …

Awww, shucks! Thank you!!!

Congratulations, I can't think of more deserving person!

@"Jason Lai" - some awesome advice above from the usual suspects. The 5 minute panic is real, but the good thing is that it tends to fade a little bit as you go through more PT's. For RC, use the strategies suggested above to try and cut even a l…

I was hoping there were going to be a couple of new Sages - I know some that are more than worthy!

Yes, the BR includes the questions you didn't get to - if the BR scores you mentioned don't include those, then you might be in better shape with the fundamentals than the scores suggest. Essentially BR is supposed to tell you how well you would do…
-
Your BR scores suggest that it's not just a matter of reading speed, or speed in general. You still have substantial gains to make in understanding the material, which is normal considering you are only halfway through the curriculum. Based on thi…

@mcmlaw36 no, you can't say "(not) C or D ----> (not) A and B". I skipped this in my original explanation, but the very first step of the contrapositive for a compound conditional is the same as for any conditional : simply negate and reverse. Fo…
-
The rule of thumb is that you can split "OR" in the sufficient and "AND" in the necessary. For "if A or B than C and D" you have two steps Step one - split the sufficient: either A or B happening triggers C and D. So: A-->C+D B-->C+D Step …

If your next week is looking less crazy, how about doing your PT today and then BRing both today's and last week's PT's during the week?
-
I second all of the above suggestions to nail the games first. You are not that far from your target score, and the games can get you a third of the way there. And I feel like LR should be the next big area of focus (this is just my gut feeling for…
-
With the games, I think there comes a moment when things just click. After reaching that moment, you should never go back to missing 8 questions per section - maybe a couple, if you misread something, or if it's a particularly gnarly session and yo…

Congratulations, I'm a little jealous of all that NorCal goodness coming your way

There are some valid arguments where you are asked to identify the structure for the argument. Like you'll have "We know that Mike can take either the bus or the subway to school. The bus is not running today. However, Mike was seen at school, so h…
