@"Chipster Study" depending on how knowledgeable and supportive of your goals they are, you might think about asking colleagues/peers, especially ones you've worked with closely - people you collaborated with writing your books or doing research, pe…

I think I remember you mentioning that you still have a good relationship with your undergraduate department, so if you think they would be willing and write a solid letter, I'd ask. Maybe provide a list of ideas (I'd like to remind you that I had t…

@nader.parham - I feel your pain. I think the "write your own letter and I'll sign it" might be more common outside of the US, and it doesn't necessarily mean the professor doesn't care. It can also mean they are not familiar with the requirements…

I'm going to focus on work for now, and then I'm taking a vacation visiting family in Europe (different part of the family than the one I've just been seeing last week). Scores should be coming out just as we're sipping Champagne in France. Then I'…

@danilphillips said: Did anyone get a LR question about bats and heating? I think the London test is going to be different from the US one, so unless there are other London takers lurking, we won't be of much help. I hope you did better than yo…

Don't force yourself to take 4 PTs a week just to get through all of them. If you need to retake, it would be nice to have some fresh PTs left. As far as the order, I'd start with the oldest "fresh" ones (so, 38+) to build up your analyticals a bit…

Septic tanks must have been in the 25Q experimental, cause i had 3 LR and no septic tank.
-
@malthele - the new LR's can definitely be harder for a non-native speaker, due to the lengthier stimuli. Your experience is going to be different from that of a native speaker who might not even notice the extra words. Not much to do about it now…

Anyone remember how many questions were on Games 3 and 4 of the real section? 7 and 5 or 6 and 6?
-
Sounds like 26 LR section with the national interest/world literature question and the movie technology/recovering costs question was real. I seem to remember that they were questions 24 and 26, with the CEO/lawyer one being 25. Pity. I thought th…

LG with fridges was experimental
-
No septic tank and I had 3 LR- there must be two experimentals.
-
Were the real LR 25 and 26 Q? I had one 25 and 2 26's. One was a lot harder than the other (imho).
-
Very run of the mill LG. Makes me so pissed I choked and ran out of time.
-
The proctors only give 5 minute warnings. Some (most?) rooms have clocks (not timers, just regular clocks like you would find in an office), but it's best to bring your own ANALOG watch to keep time. If you have one with a rotating bezel, you can…

I'd recommend going through the whole curriculum, even if you do it on "fast forward". There are hidden gems in there that can help you have an "aha" moment on whatever your remaining weak spots are in LR (I understand that's your strongest section…

You guys have said everything that needed to be said. When I was training for the NYC marathon I read somewhere that getting to the finish line is not the hard part. The hard part is giving up a lot of other things in life to put in the time neede…

I thought that would take people's mind of tomorrow's test :-P

@"Cant Get Right" said: Wow, that's crazy that you find the answer choices on the newer tests more concise No, definitely not more concise - they are lengthy and convoluted as hell - but somehow I find the wrong answers more decisively wrong, so …
-
@malthele, I don't think anyone other than yourself looking over the sections is going to be able to pinpoint exactly how the new tests are more difficult than the old ones. I got a -1 total on LR on PT66, but I got a -7 total on LR on PT23 and a -…

I think E is overreaching, both for the paragraph and for the passage as a whole. There's no suggestion anywhere that the gap is widening - just that it exists. Looking at the wording of the last phrase, A would fit quite nicely with both the tone …
-
All 7Sage packages include the same curriculum, and the curriculum only uses old tests for practice to make sure the new ones are left fresh to practice as full PT's. The skills needed are fundamentally the same, so once you've mastered them on the…

I think technically they are not supposed to provide storage space, or allow you in with a backpack. There are however numerous stories on the forums about centers that allowed students to store backpacks at the front of the room, behind the procto…

I'm one of those people who think that if an answer choice doesn't make sense it's probably something about my judgment and not a mistake on the part of the LSAT writers, but I have to agree that the shift from "most" to "more" is very dubious. I p…
-
A giveaway for D not being the right answer is the use of "very few" as a qualifier. Even "a few" would be problematic, because the negation "either no turtles or a lot of turtles exist in captivity" leaves open the possibility of "no turtles", whi…

@montahar @"Nicole Hopkins" I wasn't thinking about seeing the room on the day - it would be too late to do anything about it, and everything I've read about the rooms was positive. Just concerned about being able to enter the building itself and u…

Thanks Nicole, love your talent with the gifs!
-
Thanks a bunch! And thanks to the other chatterboxes for all your insights and helpful comments!
-
That's pretty awesome! I think a systematic approach to games would help you a lot (7Sage is great, and I especially found JY's approach to in/out and grouping games to be the best of the bunch by a very long shot, but the LSAT trainer is also prett…

I'm going to add another vote for 7Sage, even though I don't have first hand experience with TestMasters. JY builds it from the ground up, so once you get through the curriculum and do the problem sets you should have a really solid foundation that…
