  • OK. I feel like the question sets are helpful but I also have a bad habit of either not reading or glossing over the question stem. I feel like my brain is saying "we know what type of question this is from the type of problem set, so we won't bothe…

  • First off, congrats, that is awesome. Secondly, Thank you. I'm retaking the LSAT in October (LSAT Round 2). I needed the encouragement, hoping to be telling a similar story later this year. :-)

  • http://lsatblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/hardest-lsat-logic-games-list-hard.html I think there is some overlap from the PowerScore list but hope it helps.

  • I have limited experience with both. I'm prepping for a retake in October. The first time through I read about half of The LSAT Trainer and found the excellent 7Sage LG explanations at the end of my prep. I agree I like JY's LG methods better. I sta…
    in LSAT Trainer: Compatible with 7sage? Comment by shine.on.me January 2015
  • I'm in the same boat. I have a decent amount of debt and I plan on relying heavily on loans, some savings, scholarships and grants to live on while I'm in law school. I'm on a debt management program that helps with managing my credit cards. They sh…

  • I can't remember where I heard this suggestion (Powerscore maybe). But I tend to work backwards on LR sections. I start on question 26 and work my way back to around 13 usually depending on page breaks, then start doing 1-12 or where ever I have to …

  • Even though I'm not the original poster of this discussion. Flaw and Assumption questions are my biggest hurdle as well. Everyone's suggestions I hope will help me.

  • It's posts like this that make me very glad I chose 7Sage. This gives me hope that my goals are possible. I'm looking for a 20 point increase at the very least. I'm hoping for mid-high 160s. I took the September 2014 LSAT and got a 145 (used PowerSc…

  • I third meditation. There's an app and podcast called Meditation Oasis some are free, some have a fee but meditation has helped me immensely.

  • I like listening to music. I have a playlist on my phone of LSAT songs. Its just some songs that motivate me (ex. "Graduate" by Third Eye Blind and "Carry on my Wayward Son") and some are not even that positive of songs and unrelated but I love them…
    in What do YOU do to stay motivated? Comment by shine.on.me January 2015
  • Again, I was about to post this exact question. I took the LSAT in September but I am preparing for a retake probably in June. I trying to start my prep work from scratch. I took the June 2007 PT this weekend for an additional diagnostic and to see …

  • OK. PowerScore did nothing for my score the first time around too. I just thought maybe viewing them with new eyes would help but I am wary of PowerScore. I think the big thing in all my prep has been trying not to get too ahead of myself. I think I…
    in Using multiple Test Prep Tools Comment by shine.on.me January 2015
  • I'm in the same boat as well and I very nearly posted a very similar post to this one. I am planning for a retake in June or October as well. It's my second time taking the LSAT. I got a 145 in September 2014 and I have a lot of work to do in fundam…
    in June or Oct LSAT? Comment by shine.on.me January 2015
  • I agree with jdawg113. It's the same advice I was given and that I've taken. Put it off a little longer, get more time to get good, Law School will always be there. Or as Billy Joel says "Vienna waits for you." After I got fired last May, I origin…
    in Low LSAT Score Comment by shine.on.me January 2015
  • I'm in Charlotte. I took the LSAT in September but shooting to retake in June or possibly October (so I don't have to take a day off work). If you want to study, my email is [removed]. I stay pretty busy with work but I can make time. I don't have S…
    in NC Study Buddy or Skype/gchat for June Comment by shine.on.me December 2014
  • I don't know if I have much to add. But when I first started my prep, I bought the full set of the PowerScore Bibles and the Trainer. I forget which one it was but there was one LG in my PowerScore Bible that made zero sense. JY's video explanation …
    in What do you guys think about powerscore bibles? Comment by shine.on.me December 2014
  • My favorite memory is finishing the first time I took the LSAT (September 2014). Even though I didn't perform well, I was confident. And I was thrilled to finally be at...well, not a finish line but a checkpoint. I registered for a 7Sage Starter cou…
    in [Contest] What's your favorite LSAT related moment? Comment by shine.on.me December 2014
  • Thanks everyone for your kind words of encouragement. I've put a lot of thought into law school and I know I want to be an attorney. My first LSAT was disappointing to say the least. I know to a certain extent where my issues are. Confidence, timing…
