Has anyone tried Manhattan's RC strategy? It seems like a waste of mental energy to me, but other people swear by it. If any of you have tried it, I'd be interested in knowing your experiences. Thanks!

I am currently working at a boutique law firm supporting eight attorneys and their paralegals. Since our firm is small and close-knit I've been able to work closely with every team member in various aspects. Any thoughts on a rec. letter written on behalf of all the attorneys or is it best to only have it written from one attorney? I already have two traditional letters but am hoping to have a powerful third. Thanks for your insight!

This weekend a large wind storm knocked out power at my house for a few days leaving me without access to 7 Sage! Luckily I had my untouched Trainer to satisfy my burning desire to study all weekend... Seriously though, I'm about 40% through the ultimate course and it got me thinking what would be the best way to implement both these resources. My initial idea was to first complete 7 sage using the old practice sets, which I was fortunate enough to download before the ban. Next, I was going to do some review and then go through the Trainer. Lastly the plan was to go through 7 sage again using the new sets while refering to both curriculums to see what ideas worked best and how they could be combined. From previous research I was planning on mostly using 7 Sage for the LG section but I feel like for LR and RC they could be used together. What do you guys think? Should I stay the course with my original plan or somehow go through them together?

I am in need of some advice from fellow LSAT takers and law school applicants. Just a little background about myself. I graduated with a 3.8 GPA with a BA in paralegal studies and have been working as a paralegal for over 5 years now. I love the work and I am very passionate about what I do. For this reason, I have decided to finally make the leap and go to law school. However, I am really having trouble with this LSAT! I have taken about 4 or 5 timed PTs and they all range around 145 to 148. I have a hard time finding the time to study as I work long hours right now and I guess I am just not very good at timed standardized tests.

Why am I having such a difficult time with this test and how can I get better at it? I am currently scheduled to take the test in October but am now wondering if I should put it off again. I would really like to go to law school next fall but I am really becoming worried about this test.

I was wondering about the reasoning why they did this. Do they really make more money by not licensing out PDF versions of the exam? Were websites offering them without LSAC approval? I was thinking about this today, and I find the former more probable than the latter. Long term trends for people taking the LSAT and applying to law school are down. Why raise the costs (at the margin) for those that want to study? Wouldn't this put even more downward pressure on people taking the LSAT, and thus, hurt LSAC's revenue growth? Raising the fee on the exam at least made a little more sense since they have a monopoly on the test administration, but there is competition for study materials. I don't understand what the purpose is, or in what scenario that this made any business sense.

I am really enjoying this site and the class I signed up for. I am curious if there are other non traditional students enrolled or on 7Sage such as myself. I’m an older student, 52 years old, considering going to law school…probably sounds crazy to many of you :-) I’d love to connect with fellow non traditional students—I think it would be very supportive and helpful. Thank you in advance!

I am taking my first timed test tomorrow woo! Anyways J.Y. says in the videos that you need to be 100% sure that you're answer is correct but also be sure 100% now why the wrong answer are wrong. I am confused because if I am doing a Logic game question for example once I find my answer I was planning on moving on? Should I sacrifice time for the method?

Also When doing a BR Review should I get a copy of that test and re-do it with now time limits? Just somewhat confused thanks in advance for the help.

does the proctor on 7sage website (not the android app) has a way to add distractions and control timing (30 or 28 min sections)?

these features apparently exist in the app but i am not sure if there is a way to have access to distraction/timing control proctor from the website.

PT66 BR Tonight at 7pm ET

You know who you are.

You know what to do.

Note on all groups

how do I print off the prep test?

http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-66-section-2-question-20/

Not having problem with solving this question but having problem with how to diagram a specific sentence.

Carrie: "the only thing that can be required for an action to be morally good is that it fulfill a moral obligation."

J.Y diagrammed this as bi-conditional. I am having a hard time to see it. Although it does have both sufficient and necessary indicators ("the only" and "required"), I just don't see how Fulfill Moral Obligation(FMO) can be sufficient for Morally Good. Intuitively, saying FMO is the only requirement does not seem to indicate that it is sufficient. Technically, I couldn't break this sentence into two sentence (one using the sufficient indicator and another using the necessary indicator) like J.Y has done for the other bi-conditionals.

Any thoughts?

Hi Guys

I have a question I hope someone can answer, I am currently on track to take the LSAT in this coming october. The question that I have is that due to some unforseen circumstances in the past i have to retake 2 courses in this coming fall as well. These courses will affect my gpa (in a good way). Will Law Schools take into consideration my final grades, will these grades be updated as the year goes on (if i dont get accepted in the first wave and would it make more sense for me to apply later for those law schools that will accept my application at a later date so everything is updated all at one point (vs applying early with a lower gpa). Thanks in advance

Hi,

Just wondering, when will the video explanations for PT 75 be available?

After reviewing, i understand the conflict is that Kendrick says cig ads should be prevented but also remain legal. I dont understand how that's a conflict.There are lots of things we all think should be prevented, but to make illegal would be over the top.

I am obviously one of those who fell for the sucker conflict and thought the conflict was that "how could it be legal to have fatty food commercials and not cigarette commercials?", but after reviewing, i still think my sucker conflict makes more sense.

can someone help me understand more intuitively why the previous was the conflict and not the latter?

How did you do compared to your first diagnostic? I'm very curious since I finish the curriculum next week and start PT'ing the following week.

Was it something drastic?

In addition, timing still seems to be a bit of a problem when drilling. Hopefully when I start PT'ing the rhythm just comes naturally after seeing so many questions!

Happy Women's Equality Day! :)

More work needs to be done!

Check out this article: http://fortune.com/2015/08/26/on-our-95th-womens-equality-day-women-are-still-waiting-for-equal-treatment/

Should I be practicing with untimed tests first or should I go straight to practicing with timed tests?

Anyone know how to adjust your bowel movement?

The last thing I want is to get distracted during the test by the need of going to bathroom. If I have my breakfast around 7:30AM, I will need to take a bathroom break around 10AM. I just realized that I have this issue, as I start to take more PT in the morning.

Again, I'm not trying to be funny here. Any suggestions?

I know this probably has been answered but i just wanted to understand again what the BR score conveys. Is it just time and press that is killing me? . Just did my second timed test and got a BR 162. I am aiming to get a 170+.

Thanks for all the feed back.

Can you conclude from A cause B cause C that A cause C?

I have three, great professors who all agreed to write an LOR, and I picked each of them for various reasons, one being that each has a different perspective on who I am as a person and on my strengths applicable to law school.

Do other 7Sagers ask their recommenders to write on specific subjects or to focus on certain points? Or do you simply send them the necessary forms for LORs? Do you view these LORs yourself?

Thanks in advance!

Hey!

So, I have nearly every PT that has ever been released and I felt it would be a tremendous waste to just forget about them as soon as I'm done with my application cycle.

I was figuring it might be a good idea to create a PT bank on a google drive with all of them. That way, those who don't have them would have access. In addition, for the 5 or so I don't have, we can add those to the group.

What do you all think?

I took a little over 6 full weeks off from studying for the December 2015 LSAT test. I was wondering, what is the best way to get back in the flow of things? I have started to do a mix of starting from where I stopped along with reviewing from the beginning, but I need guidance. Should I start from where I stopped, should I review from the beginning, or should I start from the beginning? You wise counsel would be greatly appreciated.

I find my true weakness in logic games is over-thinking the game board which causes me to make invalid inferences or duplicate game boards that do not need to be done. does anyone know how I can correct this mistake.

What are the rules for what I can't do during the 15 min break?

- can I exit to use the bathroom?

- can I do some exercises in the hall (such as shadow boxing and pushups)?

- can I do some exercises in the test room (such as shadow boxing and pushups)?

- can I make noise (yet not enough noise to he heard in another room)

- can I leave the room to get some water?

Thanks in advance!!
