The contract for my iPhone 6 is almost up, but Idk... The iPhone 8 might be out next year.
I might end up getting the iPhone 7, even though I don't see much improvement from the last; is it at least waterproof?

It's water resistant, they said. I just need it badly because the battery on my current one is sh*t.

Out of curiosity for my fellow December takers: if I am Ptin'g close enough to where I want come late November, but am uncertain if I will get the score needed to get into the school, should I take and then retake in February?

I am about to finish up one book by the end of the month and then jump into 7 sage for the last two months (alongside pt's). I really want to make it into the next cycle, and realize what kind of risk I put myself into if I apply post February.

If I get a score that would get me in, will applying in February dampen my chances or will my chances be equivalent so long as my LSAT is up to par?

Thanks all and I hope you guys are killing it.

Also, I am fully committing to 7sage with about 3 months left after playing around with Lsat Trainer/ PS bibles. Looking at the study schedule, it seems like 7sage has me taking tests for the last couple of weeks so I will mix in some PS LSAT/ Bible then too. What do you guys think? Is that too much? Should I stick to 7sage since they are pretty intensive on their own?

My plan was to initially do 7Sage with the Manhattan LR and RC Guides, and the Trainer book. What I ended up doing was reading the Manhattan RC Guide and taking notes and 7Sage. I plan on reading Trainer for the Flaw lessons, but other than that it is really similar. However, what I DO do is use Cambridge (no longer available, powerscore has a similar alternative) packets from PT's 1-38 to supplement the 7Sage lessons as drill/homework packets.

I think 7Sage is useful by itself, but A LOT of people combine it with Trainer. Do what works for you!!

PSA: LSAC just released tests 42-51 which were pretty hard to find before this. It's $30 on Amazon

Make sure you have a good command of conditional logic, invalid and valid argument forms (7Sage has a list), and Manhattan LR Prep does a good job at explaining them, although, I think 7Sage is what helped me with them most.

I am both happy and angry about this. I tried to buy a book of drill sets over these tests and it never came in the mail....

Just did my first RC drill. Went -4 with about 3.5 min remaining. And 2 of the 4 I got wrong I was 50/50 on with the right answer.

Way, way better than I did on my diagnostic and subsequent PT. Way better.

Let's see if I do this well in the rest of the sections I have to drill!

Not gonna backread this thread so far but just wanted to drop in and say I'll be taking December for my 3rd take. Sat out last cycle because I was unhappy with my score (162) and school options. If anyone has any tips for dominating RC please let me know, I struggle with timing. Looking forward to procrastinating with you all.

So, my Superprep II book came today! YAY!!!

I didn't order Superprep I since I'm using materials for drilling RC/LG/LR from 1-38 (partially the reason it's taking me so long to finish the 7Sage curriculum but hey, slow and steady wins the race right!?)

Anyhow I was flipping through the pages, I'm so, so, SO excited to go through the explanations when I do the aforementioned tests AND I plan on reading every single explanation, if it's penned by LSAC themselves there has to be gold in it!!

And..as I was flipping through the pages I saw the name Spivey, yes Spivey is mentioned as a member in a set in a game. I did a double take, and then thought WOW LSAC must really be frequenting these forums lol.

I know it's kind of a random addition, but I thought I would share lol.

It didn't come from TLS, no worries there. But I believe it did come after I attended the LSAT psychometrician stats camp (one day after a conference) and won like the camper of the day award. I also got a free stats book -- but much happier with the LSAT question. I think there is a youtube video out there detailing that question, as well.

Oh awesome. Your in a game as a subset of names lol, so not only are you in the game subset but additional questions for the game! I haven't gotten to the PT yet, but I certainly did a doubletake when I saw your name!

RC is kicking my butt too. I finally went -5 and that was a miracle.

The LSAT Trainer's RC section helped me a bit. Manhattan RC. 7Sage's memory method. I kind of mixed them all together and hopefully, with some practice, I can get RC down.

Nicole Hopkins RC webinar helped me quite a bit too.

UGH. The only thing that makes me a little hopeful is that I haven't earnestly prepped for RC yet. I am hoping once I actually do a bunch of RC sections I'll get a bit better. -4 would be like an early Christmas present on RC, lol.
