Hey everyone, hope studying is going well. I am writing this thread to seek some insight on my situation.

I've been studying since June. I plan to sit for February and I have for the most part been consistent with my studies. I have also seen my score improve 19 points since June (albeit I have only hit that score once, a more telling increase I would say is about 14 points). But unfortunately, I have realized that as test day looms closer and closer I am finding it increasingly difficult to remain at the level of consistency with my studies that I have had for the past 7 months going on 7 and a half.

Lately I'll sit down with my regular routine and start to study and I just cannot stop thinking about how "over this" I am. Like today, I sat down to BR these 2 RC sections I should've BR'd like about 3-4 days ago but kept putting off (to do other sorts of LSAT practice which I also had to rally up the motivation to do) and just thought "I really don't feel like doing this right now."

So I guess my question is, is there any advice on how to get back into a good mental space as game day approaches and get back to a nice level of consistency? I'd like to add that I don't really know if it's burnout because I do always take one day off a week(but for these past couple weeks it's been a little more due to issues described above). Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hello ,

i no this has probably been beaten to death on this forum.. but i was wondering if backing out of the February administration will count as a take?

were only a few weeks out and im still 7 points off my goal score. although im not giving up , i was just wondering what my options where if i decide to reapply to schools for the next cycle ( official LSAT 150 , 151av on PT, 153 highest).

thanks

As the title says, today's the last day! Don't miss it.

We're happy to announce that explanations for PT 79 (September 2016 LSAT) will be on sale at 7Sage starting today, Jan 9th.

The price will be $5.97 for roughly one week. After that, the price will go back to the normal price of $29.99.

You can pick it up here:

Does anyone have any insight on when or if we'll have it available for purchase on LSAC's site or Amazon before the Feb administration?

Also, if it does become available, what are the chances that 7sage will have explanations available in time for Feb?

Thanks!

Okay, I tried searching, but couldn't find anything. It's a pretty basic question. I found diagramming at first fairly challenging, yet have gotten much better. I find it helpful when doing the blind review to confirm my answer. However, on actual timed PTs, I find there just isn't enough time. Often the arguments have far too many wordy concepts that are difficult to diagram, and I end up just confused between terms. I find, more often than not, diagramming eats up a lot of my time, and I am getting better and better at just seeing the answer by reading the questions. Although I still diagram the questions that have many conditional statements and are very simple sentences, anything that is very complex, I find diagramming under the time pressure doesn't help me. Is it fair to say that diagramming LR questions (e.g. parallel, PF, and especially SA questions) is mostly for just learning the conditional statements, and strengthening the learning so that it becomes somewhat intrinsic? It seems to be working for me so far since I have had significant improvements, but just wanted a second opinion on this.

I am getting ready to propose to my girlfriend within the next few months,because she would like to get married BEFORE she graduates dental school and I have a really big question! Should I ask for her father's blessing / how should I notify him of my plans? My mother comes from old money but she she will just tell me whatever I want to hear, my girlfriend is against asking for permission , and my friends are yes men. I wasn't sure of our future because I didn't know where I was going to law school but my score will allow me to go just about anywhere so now is the time. Any way, what should I do?

7Sage Community,

I never thought I would be posting a discussion again now that I got my desired LSAT score and have submitted all of my applications. But I have to say... I seriously miss all of you and your encouragement. I could not even bring myself to delete the app off of my phone even after I submitted my apps.

So I have already pressed submit on 15 law school apps and after going through them and reviewing them, I noticed that the current address was wrong on one of them. After going through all of them, I noticed I made the mistake on 4 apps. I am absolutely freaking out... I have been told that revisiting or resubmitting apps after you submitted them is a huge NO NO and that it can hurt your chances of getting accepted. The mistake was super minor, I put 726 E instead of 736 E.

Should I just email the law school and let them know? Should I not even bother because most of them send denials/admits over email? Will they use my permanent address? (that one is accurate)

I am completely freaking out, what should I do??

Hi there..

I was wondering if there is an inclusive list that includes the PrepTests necessary for the different tiers of curriculum with 7Sage. I knew that the PrepTests didn't come with the curriculum but I found myself very frustrated today as I was trying to work through the curriculum only to find out I didn't have all the necessary materials.

Was hoping there was a list so that I can buy them all at once.

Thanks!

When your read the passage in 3.5 min, Jy says to summarize the main point of the paragraph into one line. Does he mean to do this within the 3.5 or after the passage has been read?

Couple of questions:

1. How does one translate "never" into Lawgic? I know this is a group 4 indicator, but could someone really break it down and give a couple of examples? I'm struggling with this word.

2. How would one translate this sentence into lawgic (of. 258 of the LSAT trainer) "Sarah will never date a funny guy?" Could you not only state the answer but also WHY you translate it that way?

Thanks in advance!

My goal is to score 160, I scored just a few points shy of that in December but during practice tests before then I was scoring 160 back to back on practice test with my highest score being 161. I am retaking in February with that goal score in mind again. Any tips/study plans from now until Feb,4th? Do I have to begin averaging 165 on practice test to meet this score?

Hey, everyone!

I'm looking for extra pairs of eyes to read over my diversity statement & give critique. I'd be more than happy to look over yours as well. Send me a PM!

Some schools ask what other schools I applied for...If it's not required to answer the question, should I leave it blank?

Hi,

Quick question...

I'm purchasing and creating CAS now, and I'm wondering, if I finished my graduate courses on December and attended graduation ceremony on the following May,

which date should I put, May or December?

Surprised to see we cannot edit info after we confirm it, so I'm kind of cautious...

Thank you!

Hi guys!

I hope to finish the curriculum in approximately 9 weeks in March. I plan to take 1 Pt a week and bump it to 2 PT with the 7SAGE group calls once I get a grip on my schedule.

What PTs should I take?

So far, my study plan says PT 36-44 and I know I need to be taking more recent exams. Does anyone have a similar study time who could give me their insight and plans? Also, should I upgrade I have the Starter, LOVE IT, thoughts?

Also, would it be too soon to start taking PTs maybe in my 6th or 7th week of curriculum?

I have done Blueprint which I loved, but 7SAGE matches my learning style and really brings all the logic concepts full circle.

Thank you!

in 27 minutes , bravo 7Sage

Hello all ,

i was just thinking , given the amount of time that has elapsed , and the fact that i dont remember which questions i circled, wouldn't it be better to re do the December LSAT as a timed exercise by splitting into its components. that way it would serve as practice for all three sections and at that point i could BR etc.

or i could simply just take all the time i need to answer the sections again and see if a second look improves my understanding .

looking for advice

thanks

Hey guys,

I'm sure many of you have seen this before, but I came across this article while I was taking a study break and thought I would share. Just a fun little logic game. :)

https://qz.com/863349/the-single-best-interview-question-for-pretty-much-any-job-in-tech/

do you see the ranking or specialization?

Within what rank is acceptable?

Such as...within 100, 50, etc.

If below this ranking should I wait for another cycle?

Can someone please further explain "the gap/ support" between the premise and the conclusion????

I need more clarity because this is really impeding my performance.

Can I rip off pieces of the page? I don't mean stuff with text on it, just blank margins.

I would like to cover the bubbles from previously-completed sections while working, to minimize the probability of accidentally mis-bubbling.

I hope I can explain this

1)I fully understand how to convert any sentence into Sufficient and Necessary conditions

2)Where I am having problems is identifying whether the sentence is supplying sufficient conditions for something or if it is supplying necessary conditions for something

3)What I am hoping to understand is the actual grammar breakdown for why it is the way it is

4)below are some examples from a book. what makes a sentence a "sufficient sentence" and what makes a sentence a "necessary sentence"... is it based on "what the main subject of the sentence is" is it based on the predicate verb? what is the actual fundamental grammar rules that dictate this. Yes i know if you say it out loud you would figure it out. but I am trying to understand from a pure grammatical perspective. Thankyou

You don’t deserve praise for something unless you did it deliberately

Deserve Praise for something --> you did something deliberately

Necessary condition

Doing something deliberately is a necessary condition for deserving praise for something

If you do something deliberately then you deserve praise for it

Do something deliberately ->you deserve praise for it

It would be saying that doing something deliberately is a sufficient condition for deserving praise for it

For those who have a math or econ or business background.

We learned that of any financial or math model, there are 2 kinds of variables-Endogenous and Exdogenous. And from macro-econ or Linear Algebra, the change of an endogenous variable does not change the model it self, as such, moving from X to X' is only a result of Y to Y'. And it does not move us to Z to Z', which needs the introduction of an exdogenous variable into the equation.

The exact same method is applied here.

By the question steam, you are able to formulate a principle, or a math equation, and the math equation only applies in this particular set of population-the population of dangerous activity.

Furthermore, if you think of dangerous activity be on your x axis and tax as on the y axis, the fact that dangerous activity does not result in tax on those activity can be thought as a correlation set where you can denote a +1 or - 1direction.

As such, by the question steam, "by the same token", we plug in variables, as we know that these are endogenous and push out a Y'.

Answer choice D perfectly describes the result of MBT from this answer choice while answer choice B does the opposite.

Answer choice A/E describes 2 phonomena. Answer choice E describes "food and shelter", which are variables that cannot be accounted for. And answer choice A "nonessential sports equipment and recreational gear" describes another market or population set. As you know, we cannot slap an equity valuation model onto an alternative asset valuation model, they are simply different kind of assets.
