  • The best way to close the gap is to take more PT's. It's hard to know exactly what's going on based on one datapoint. If you take a couple more and your BR's are still very high, then you'll know they are not a fluke, and you need to work on your t…
  • You should chat with someone in admissions and see what they advise. The scores might come out early enough to make the deadline (December scores came out right at the deadline, but historically they have been known to come out early). Unless ther…
  • I think both your options have a good bit of wishful thinking built in (that's not to say it won't happen, but I wouldn't count on it as a given). The transfer route hinges on the assumption that your target schools would take someone from Southwe…
  • Welcome back! I think October is a wise choice, especially if you are planning to go through the curriculum again and do all the drills before PT's as it would give you ample time to do so. I don't have any special tips about getting the juices fl…
  • @"Darth Jurist" . I'm so happy for you. Being free of pain is a great feeling. Just be careful about your stomach, NSAIDs in general and naproxen in particular can be very hard on it and you don't want to swap one pain for another.
  • @LSATConspiracy - would your schedule allow you to participate in the BR groups here on 7Sage? They might provide a different perspective on reviewing than your own, and you might find some productive approaches through the power of crowdsourcing.
  • @nader.parham, it would help to know a little more about your background - non-native speaker can mean a lot of different things, and they will influence how difficult it would be to get great at the test. I learned English in school, an hour a wee…
  • Hopefully with practice and enough hanging around here, the LSAT becomes that endless black hole... Before you know it you are sitting there, watching a movie, or being on Facebook and think "can I sneak in just one more game? Just a couple of juicy…
  • @DumbHollywoodActor is spot on. If you mistake a Necessary for an Sufficient, you automatically mistake the Sufficient for a Necessary, because you've illegally reversed the argument. On the LSAT they will be a bit more specific, so even if one ans…
  • I second @stepharizona's suggestion - since you haven't been out of undergraduate for very long and you don't have an employer that can speak about your intellectual capabilities, your best bet would be at least one, but preferably two letters from …
  • As @Pacifico suggested, you can still get them from Cambridge LSAT - there are a couple of ways to go about it - you can buy their "all games section" bundle that includes all the game sections from 1-70, and just drill the early ones or you can buy…
  • Everyone above is right - you are supposed to use LG sections from PT 1-36 to drill using the FoolProof method before you start proper PTing. There can be some overlap, of course, especially if you find you have a good grasp on the games after a fe…
  • Best of luck to all of you guys taking the test tomorrow, and especially to the ones (you know who you are) who spend a lot of their time helping the rest of us. May the LSAT odds be ever in your favor
  • @Pacifico is the man. I'd listen to that.
  • @allan.kogan - When you say "I can spend all day doing a set of games from an exam" does that mean doing them until you can do them easily, including watching the videos, or going through them once? Knowing that would make a big difference in the a…
  • The first statement splits the world of environmental problems in two: the ones caused by government mismanagement and the rest of them. The whole remainder of the argument deals with the subworld of problems that are not the result of government, …
  • You can go over the lectures and problem sets while getting a start on the bundle. Worst thing that can happen starting the bundle now is that you suck at a lot of the games and you get to watch JY's explanations for them and practice them until yo…
  • Hi @cmelman95. The strategy on attacking the questions depends on what type of game it is. For a simple sequencing game with a tree diagram, if the question asks "what's the maximum/minimum number of elements that could come after/before B", you ha…
  • I see those as a hybrid of Strengthen/Weaken questions, because they usually address an assumption made in the argument. For the correct answer choice, the two opposing answers to the posed questions would either strengthen or weaken the argument. F…
  • Thank you all! I did the experiment @MrSamIam suggested and it's about 3MB/minute (in case anybody wants to know). So, right at the upper limit of what @noobie1 estimated.
  • I'd take it as a good sign. You are aware it doesn't mean a definite yes, but I'd say it means you're not in the definite no pile or they wouldn't bother. TLS might have some tips for what I believe they call a JS1. And i think there was at least on…
  • There's fresh data from Mike Spivey's Twitter feed on this application cycle: "As of 1/29/16 applicants up .9%, applications up .1% At this stage last year, we had 52% of the applicant count. More granular data soon!" The granular data has been post…
  • Thank you for the honor!
  • @"Dillon A. Wright" might be able to confirm, but I think you need to click the "next" or "done" button below the video for the lesson to appear complete.
  • The 7Sage proctor breaks the 4 section simulation after 3 sections, and that's what I'd do as well. It tests your capacity to keep going for 3 straight sections without a break (and I'm not just talking about mental stamina here :-). I'm sure you wi…
  • Let's hope I got the right question - the one with reporting an accident, right? The stimulus boils down to "if an accident causes personal injury OR property damage >$500, the driver needs to report it, unless incapable to do so". Ted doesn't n…
  • @shannonv1029 I know you are saying that postponing would be worth the sacrifice if you believed that it would help you score into the 170's, but with the risk of sounding harsh, I don't quite see what you'd be sacrificing. From the limited informa…
  • @KiruKiru I would say of those the SA should be the easiest to get a handle on, and the Parallel Flaw probably the most difficult, as it would require mastering the "garden variety" flaw questions first. You might want to go over the curriculum for …
  • @"Grey Warden" you've figured it out perfectly. Telling the difference "on the fly" will become second nature with a bit of practice, now that you know what to look for. Maybe you'll even find yourself smirking at the test makers thinking "aha, I …
