@"Dillon A. Wright" Dillon, I added a few random questions to the shopping cart in order to test the printing function for my blind review. I do not see a print function/option. Can you tell me how to print my question bank questions?

Hey guys!
So I graduate in may and I'm looking to move to Texas to gain residency. I am going to apply to UT next year, and one of their admissions criteria is geographical diversity, so they're looking for underrepresented areas of texas. I currently live 40 miles away from El Paso, Texas and 600 miles away from Austin. I am thinking they'd pass over someone already living in Austin. Am I giving this too much thought and this is really an unimportant soft factor?
On another note, I'm going to begin studying for the lsat again with 7sage as soon as I graduate. Currently scoring at 156.
Hey 7Sagers, I'm leading another twelve-hour long LR workshop (#4) over four nights (three hours per night) for five students to provide an intensive and comprehensive overview of all foundational concepts and their application to all types of LR questions.
Schedule
Session 1 - April 24, Monday, 7-10pm PST (10pm-1am EST)
Session 2 - April 25, Tuesday, 7-10pm PST (10pm-1am EST)
Session 3 - April 26, Wednesday, 7-10pm PST (10pm-1am EST)
Session 4 - April 27, Thursday, 7-10pm PST (10pm-1am EST)
Cost
Free. But! There's a $150 deposit to reserve your spot. If you show up on time and participate for the entire duration of all sessions, your deposit will automatically be refunded fully at the end of the workshop. Otherwise, it is forfeit. Please make sure you can attend the entire 12 hour long workshop.
#Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How will you select which five students will participate?
A: Lottery. If you are interested, please comment below in this thread within 48 hours. If selected for the lottery, you'll have another 48 hours to place the deposit to reserve your spot.
Q: Who should take this workshop and what will be covered?
A: Beginners. This means you haven't finished the Core Curriculum yet and you're not starting to take PrepTests yet. Imagine the workshop as a fast paced overview of the entire Core Curriculum that pertains to LR. We'll cover theory and we'll apply that theory to actual LSAT questions. It will be highly interactive and hence the limit of four students. Wherever you are in the Core Curriculum, this a great way to solidify the concepts covered.
Q: Can I sign up even if I'm not a beginner?
A: Yes, you can. I'm certain that it'll benefit you to return to concepts covered in the Core Curriculum. I'm also certain that you will find it very slow at times since I will be speaking to students on the assumption that they are beginners.
Q: Do I need to have a paid 7Sage account to sign up?
A: Yes, you do. If you have an expired account, message Dillon and see if he's willing to reactivate it for you.
Q: What materials are used in this workshop?
A: The workbook that you will be provided with will contain LR questions from PrepTests 54, 55, and 56. Yes, we will be "burning" those PrepTests in order to get a closer look at the modern LSAT.
Q: What do I need to do to prepare for the workshop if I get in?
A: You should print the above mentioned workbook. You should be in a quiet space where you can talk freely. You should have a fast internet connection. You should have headphones or earphones ready.
Q: How do I attend the workshop?
A: The workshop will be hosted on Amazon's Chime. Instructions and meeting location will be sent to you once you've successfully registered.
Q: Will there be more workshops in LR / LG / RC in the future?
A: Yes. This session accommodates east coasters who work during the day. Future sessions will accommodate others.
Interesting article.we don't need care much on requirement.
I'm high beginner/low int. in french and I got a 174 on the LSAT. We can skype/zoom? @"Dillon A. Wright" Sorry if this isn't allowed. Just delete me into non-existence.

I am going through the trial material right now and have already decided to postpone my test until the fall. What I am wondering is how intuitive is the material? Will it walk me through some of the more (seemingly) complex lessons in regard to practice tests, etc.? I have a little bit (lot) of anxiety regarding this and wanted to see if someone would mind sharing some of your experiences and advice you would give to a new user to the site.
I'm starting to confuse myself. Can someone clarify how they would do a logical negation of this for the NA Negation Technique?
"Any candidate whose visual image does not evoke many positive feelings in votes will not be elected."
Any candidate whose visual image does evoke positive feelings in votes will be elected.
Or
No candidate whose visual image does not evoke many positive feelings in votes will not be elected.
I am about halfway though the CC and all of these indicators have really turned into second nature for me.
Although this is the case, I would really like to see “caused by” added into the Group 1 indicators, as it has really messed with my head. A clear example of this is on LSAT #25 S4 Q12. This question would have been an easy one have I would have known earlier. Lesson learned!
What are other people's thoughts? Is group 1 even the correct rule?
So I'm brand new and 6 months out and cruising through the core curriculum at about 2.25 to 3 hours a day and I just came across the optional diagnostic. I've got to be honest, the idea of taking a test cold right now seems a little silly as I've only learned the basics of argument and grammar. Is there a serious benefit of taking a cold LSAT test prep-test? Any thoughts either way? My intuition is saying I rather learn everything I can before I start drilling prep-tests and blind reviewing.

We are searching for people who can explain complex ideas in simple, accurate, and engaging ways.
Top 7 finalists will each receive cash prizes of $350. Top prize will receive an additional $3,500. All will be considered for a longer-term video creation contract with 7Sage.
Send us your videos in one of these subjects
Test Prep: SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, Bar Prep
Law School: 1L Exam and Study Strategies, Civil Procedure, Contracts, Criminal Law, Torts, Administrative Law, Property, Constitutional Law, Legal Writing
The talent search ends on September 1, 2017
Frequently Asked Questions
**Q:**What subjects should the videos be on?
**A:**Test Prep: SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, Bar Prep
Law School: 1L Exam and Study Strategies, Civil Procedure, Contracts, Criminal Law, Torts, Administrative Law, Property, Constitutional Law, Legal Writing
**Q:**How many videos can I submit and on how many subjects?
**A:**We ask that you limit your submissions to one video per subject but you are welcome to submit on multiple subjects. For example, you're welcome to submit one video on the SAT, one on the GRE, and one on 1L Exam and Study Strategies.
**Q:**What are the specifications of the videos?
**A:**We request that the videos should not be longer than 15 minutes. You can, but do not have to, imitate 7Sage's style of voice over a digital whiteboard. You should try to pick a subject containing sufficient difficulty to showcase your explaining skills. If you're submitting a video for Test Prep subjects, you can go narrow and pick a particular question to work through. Or you can go broad and talk about an underlying theory tested by many questions. If you're submitting for Law School subjects, you can work through specific cases and rules, specific study strategies and exam strategies, or general legal theory.
**Q:**What are you looking for in the videos?
**A:**First, factual accuracy. Second, instructive elegance. We like videos that break large, challenging ideas into simple digestible pieces. Third, conversational tone. We like videos that sound like your smart and helpful classmate is explaining something to you at the library during a study session. Students should come away from the videos feeling like they have an intuitive understanding of the topic and a sense that it wasn't as daunting as they thought it would be. We are not looking for high production value. It doesn't hurt but it's not something we're weighing heavily.
**Q:**When will you notify the finalists?
**A:**Finalists will be selected and notified on a rolling basis. Submitting earlier is advantageous.
**Q:**Why are you holding this talent search?
**A:**We want to bring down the cost of education in all the subject areas listed above and we believe the way to do that is to find amazingly talented instructors and empower them to create video content. We've learned a lot about how to provide online education through our LSAT course and we're eager to share that knowledge and apply it to other subject areas.
**Q:**What does a video creation contract with 7Sage look like?
**A:**7Sage will offer you a contract to help create lessons and videos in one of the above subjects. You will receive resources and training and have access to our technology to reach thousands of students. You will be able to work on a flexible schedule from wherever you are with highly competitive pay.
Wasup 7sage community. So I took my LSAT in February... had been studying for 3 months at that point, but did not feel like I was at my peak. There was definitely room for improvement in all three sections. I still took it, and although I got a solid score, I know I can do better. So I'm deciding to take again and get it right this time...
The thing is, I am taking a two-year gap before law school. Ideally, I want to get solid work experience during this time. I am debating between taking it June or September... and am leaning towards September because the last thing I want is to rush myself again and put myself in a tough situation if I don't perform in June. However, I do not see myself full-time studying for 6 months... I want to look for a full-time internship/position. If I am giving myself 6 months, + the time I have already spent with the exam, is it feasible to hit my goal score range? Basically, is it necessary in the months leading up to the exam to be zeroed in on the LSAT or can solid prep allow for a more relaxed schedule? If anyone has been in a similar situation or can lend some words of wisdom, I would truly appreciate it.
I see them mentioned on here a lot, but, aside from @"Cant Get Right"'s webinars, I rarely see them discussed or practiced much. Could someone explain what they are and how you use them?
Thanks!
Are we allowed to have a water bottle, or a drink within a bottle, outside of our plastic bags and within arms reach during the duration of the test? In other words, are we permitted to drink our beverage in the middle of a section or can we only drink during the brief intervals between sections and during the 15 minute break?
Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well. I was wondering if any of you know of any apps in particular that really help you in places where you cannot study?When I am in the car be driven to work (I live in Saudi) I get car sick from reading, and I am just looking for supplements for when I cannot be staring at problems that are still helpful. TIA!
Can anyone comment on the ratio of Easiest, Easier, Medium, Harder and Hardest questions (On the 5 star system) on various sections (RC, LR and LG)?
I can get the easiest to medium questions almost all correct, but I cannot get the harder and hardest questions for the life of me, and I am stressed out about it.
How many harder and hardest questions are we expecting to see on each section?
thanks everyone
Hi everyone!
84 Days left until the June LSAT
I was going through some old discussion points and noticed a weekly thread for review.
Feel free to contribute via your schedule/goal for the weekend and don't hesitate to give me pointers on mine!
Keep going! You're doing great :)
I had a few questions about the rules of actually taking the test in person I was hoping someone could clear up for me.
It's my understanding that you are only allowed to work on the section they tell you to work on and you can't open to any other section whether you've completed it or it's an upcoming one. Is that correct? Meaning, if taking section 2 of the test and the clock is going, you can't look back to section 1 and you can't look forward to 3/4/5.
Second, are the test booklets closed during the break? Am I leave it open to the last page of the last section just completed or do all booklets need to be closed?
Finally, are the scantrons of the actual test the same ones 7sage has for PT's? Meaning are all 5 sections on the same sheet?
Here's what prompted these questions: I was taking a PT today and I had trouble with the last question of section 1. During sections 2 and 3 my mind would wonder back to that question and think about it some more. I then realized why one answer was correct and why the answer I chose was wrong. I thought, damn, I missed that question. But then I realized I could just erase the answer and change it to what I know is the correct answer while I'm taking section 3. I never turned the page of the test booklet back to section 1. The whole reconsidering was done in my head alone. I figured if it's all on the same scantron and I'm not technically working on a different section in the booklet can't I just erase the answer on the section 1 part of the scantron?
If someone could answer these that would be helpful thanks!
Hello,
I am planning on taking the LSAT in December 2017 for August 2018 admissions. I live in Puerto Rico and the school I am planning on attending requires a 150. Which course do you all recommend I take? I have a 3.7 GPA. When should I begin studying?
Thanks!
I currently have the Toptier timer lsat watch and it works fine, but im worried I won't have to time reset it in during the actual test. Should I get the more expensive ones (if they're even in stock) or am i fine?
Thanks
Specifically, I am looking at PT 68.S2.Q23, the second sentence: "We must therefore reject Tolstoy's rash claim that if we knew a lot about the events leading up to any action, we would cease to regard that action as freely performed").
So that would be diagrammed out as:
Not (know about events ---> ~freely performed)
Which I was told turns into:
(Know about events ---> freely performed)
My question is a theoretical one, and that is: WHY do you negate a conditional by introducing the sufficient and denying the necessary?

I started back up in January after graduating and moving and was hoping to be ready for the June exam. But with my new commitment to do this right the 2nd time round, it has taken me a lot longer to get through the CC. Plus, I have been really influenced by everyone on here to try and master the concepts better and I feel betting on myself in September will get me to my target score (168-170 range).
I hope this post helps those who are debating on pushing things back a bit. It sucks but I feel like I have a better shot at doing taking this test once and being done. There is nothing wrong with admitting you're not where you need to be if that helps you arrive at your final destination in the long run.
7Sagers - I'm aiming to take the LSAT again in June - my 4th go around as I really want to go to Law School (duh) in fall of 2018... Anyways, I fancy myself as one of the worst LSAT takers ever to come about - 144-146-151 (most recent)... I'm currently drilling at 161 average after taking 5 tests (and finishing most of the curriculum for a 2nd time) - 36-37-38-39-40... I've taken those tests before, but it has been a few years, so I think that my question recognition is distant and not an advantage....
The whole point - keep the faith - keep working hard and better results will follow.
One thing I've noticed - my confidence is on a whole different level than a few years ago... And I'm crushing Logic games - I average 2 misses per game roughly... That is key! Reading Comp is rough and Logic Reasoning is still frustrating. I'm not a robot and human... Really dig down the application effect for logic reasoning - don't gloss over the explanations!
My goal is anything over 158 come June and William and Mary Law!
One last piece of advice: find the right balance between practice tests and curriculum review!
