Hello,

I am currently looking for a tutor for my January LSAT. I had one for the October LSAT, who was great. I just want to try out new tutoring styles to see if one will click. I reached out a few from the list of tutors on 7sage, but only one responded, leading me to believe not all are currently active. If you have any suggestions of a good tutor (esp for an ESL student scoring in the 150’s), please comment below!

Thank you in advance!

This happened to me a lot so I have to ask for some advice. I start doing a PT (especially I am talking about an LG section) where I kinda freeze at a certain game which I know is something I can handle. I stop the section and restart again and the second time it goes flawlessly. How can I fix this? This especially happens during an LG. I don't look for an explanation or anything I just gather myself and it goes great afterwards.

Hi, I have both an internal webcam and an external webcam, but I was wondering if it is permissible to use the internal webcam on a laptop. I know I have to do a quick survey of the room with the webcam, which is possible by simply moving the laptop around, but if I had to provide a view of my keyboard, I would not be able to do so with the internal webcam.

During flex, are we ever required to get a view of the keyboard (perhaps dependent on the proctor), or would a internal webcam be sufficient for all my rooming surveying needs?

Anyone from Ann Arbor/Metro Detroit?

Hi all,

I would appreciate any advice on canceling a score vs postponing the LSAT.

Here's my situation - I took the LSAT for the first time in August. A mix of test day anxiety and technical issues (having my test closed out for me) resulted in a score much lower than my practice tests. I feel ready/prepared for the November LSAT. However I have been pretty sick these past few weeks and this week I still feel a bit dizzy/head foggy. It seems to affect my performance by about 2-4 points. I'm worried though that realizing I'm not in my best mental state x test day anxiety will result in a worse performance, or perhaps I can power through -- obviously, no one can answer that for me. My plan as of now is to just take the test tomorrow and if I can tell immediately after that my performance was affected by not feeling well, I'll cancel it and then take in Jan. OR I could just postpone and take it in Jan.

My question is how does a score cancelation look on your record? How might this compare to the downsides of taking the LSAT in Jan, when I'll be writing applications to schools that I'm not even positive my scores will make me competitive for? Any advice would be so appreciated especially since this is so so last second.

Thank you!!!

"I am reviewing the writing prompt from LSAT 84 and I am a little confused. For this prompt, am I arguing for one bullet point and either the Canton or the Fuller space? Or, both bullet points and the either the Canton or Fuller space? I’m just curious because I read one writing response in which the test taker argued for the two bullet points and only one of the following points (i.e. Canton or Fuller).

I am aware I need to point out the strengths and the weaknesses in my argument, and the exact same in the opposing argument, while reaffirming my argument in end."

Say I retake the LSAT writing for November flex, with an approved writing sample already on file from a previous exam -- if, by the time November flex scores are released, submission for the retaken LSAT writing is still pending, could that affect my score release?

I'm told that as long as I have an approved writing sample from the past year I will be able to view subsequent scores without delay, but I was wondering if having a pending writing sample in addition to an approved writing sample could potentially impede that process.

Thank you!

Anyone from hell's kitchen in nyc?

I don't know if this is common knowledge but I just wanted to share if it isn't. I take digital notes and I didn't like writing down all the sentences when taking a quiz. For example, while doing the logic group 1 and group 2 translations quizzes. So I downloaded an extension called Web Paint that allows me to underline, draw, paint, etc. the examples on the web page instead of physically writing all of the sentences and working through them on paper. I think this has saved me a lot of time. If this sounds confusing then let me know and I'll further explain what I mean.

Does anyone know if 7sage provides question sets that are all set up the same way/have patterns that are commonly used within the LSAT?

Hi,

Does anyone know any reliable LSAT writing sample answer?

Nov was my first LSAT and I thought LSAT flex just skip the writing section...

Thanks,

Rena

I just got an email after taking the FLEX on Nov. 11th saying my writing sample was cancelled because my government I.D. was not clear enough and now I have to take the sample again. Is there any way to contest this so that I do not have to wait extra time to view my score. I wanted to apply to schools if my score was within my desired range and if it was not then I would study and take the January test, but if this processing takes additional time it sort of screws me over. Thanks everyone!

I wonder if I could register us lsat flex test while taking it in other country

Can somebody, who has taken the LSAT flex, comment on the differences between the LSAT flex and the normal full length LSAT. Is the experience better with the flex? And is your score considered just as credible by colleges as the traditional LSAT?

Anyone else ever felt like they blacked out during the test? I feel like this and I am flopping on the tests but during my study time in blind review I have gotten upper 160s. Does anyone have tips to amend this?

Disregard

Is the percentile you rank in different for every test you take ? Meaning if I get a 149 on one lsat which tells me I’m in the 39th percentile then I get a 149 on another lsat will my percentile differ ?

Do law schools look at percentiles ?

Hello, I am currently doing untimed practice sections for LR and I am finishing sections in 75 minutes and getting around -4- to -7. Should I be reviewing the strategies more, drilling specific questions type or keep on practicing with individual sections until I get my time down? I have read the Loophole book and it definitely simplified LR for me.

Hi all,

I've started to more consistently score in 170-172 range though my peak was a 174 over a month ago. Any tips on how to get into the mid-to-high 170s. For context, my undergrad GPA ain't stellar (3.66, mostly due to premed classes) and I plan on applying to Penn, UMich, UVa, Duke, and G'town. I'm taking the test in Jan.

My issue is that I don't just have one weakness. For example, in my last two PTs my score got dragged down by -4 in LG (silly mistakes I should've caught) and -7 in LR (PT 59, first LR section). There are some areas I know need work, like Parallel LR Qs and not freaking out when I hit a challenging game in LG. But sometimes things will crop up, like SA and NA questions, that I thought I had a handle on. I do think I'm getting better at RC, for a long while I'd get 3 to 4 wrong and be unable to figure out the right answer in BR, in my last 3 PTs I've managed to get the right answers in BR (-4) and then went -1 in the last 2.

I know a low 170 is a good score but I consider it the bare minimum.

.

Hi, so in the past two PT's, I've scored 173 and 174 respectively (175 and 179 BR respectively as well). I am wondering what people in this range do to maintain and improve from this point on. Do you continue with drilling sections and reviewing wrong answers? I find that I am spending less time than I used to on studying, and I am wondering if that's a natural result of getting more correct and understanding the test better. Would love any advice from 7Sagers who have been in this situation. Thank you!

I work at a law firm and my current assignment is to draft a protocol to terminate an agreement, and I'm having trouble applying what I've so far learned in logic. I'd love to hear what you guys think about this particular article in the agreement that we're asked to terminate. It's something along the lines of:

This Agreement shall come into force as of the share acquisition of the New Shareholder has been accomplished.

It's not so neatly put but my understanding is that it is a conditional statement, and that it can be translated as 'Share acquisition → Come into effect'.

My first question is do you think this is the correct translation??

The second issue is (let's assume the above logical translation holds here) that the acquisition of shares has NOT taken place in our case. A senior associate told me that the Agreement has not come into effect because of this, which made me think: sufficiency necessity confusion!! We cannot infer '/Share acquisition → /Come into effect' from 'Share acquisition → Come into effect'!!!

BUT I've come to think that he has a point..

All along we learned that given Jedi → Force, it would be fallacious to infer anything from /Jedi since the rule becomes irrelevant when we negate the sufficient condition. Why? Because we simply do not know what would happen outside this world. In the '/Jedi' instance, you could be a force user or not, we simply do not have enough info from just Jedi → Force.

But in this case, we have an entire agreement to figure out what happens when. And in our agreement, there is no other condition or instance that makes the agreement enforceable. No sort of 'This agreement shall enter into force upon signature by both parties' clause, etc.

So, my second question is, since our conditional statement has become irrelevant (since the sufficient condition about share acq. has not been satisfied) and since we have no other condition to trigger the necessary condition, can we conclude that the necessary condition will also not take place (/Come into effect)??

Sorry for the length of this post but I'm looking forward to a discussion :)

Hey guys! I’ll be taking the LSAT for the first time in January of 2021. I have been studying like crazy, and plan to study everyday for a few hours at least until that day. Unfortunately, I am unable to afford any formal LSAT tutoring, so I have been using Kahn Academy, one LSAT prep book, and basically any YouTube videos and methods I can get my hands on. I was wondering if you guys had any other study tools that I could utilize. I’m currently scoring around 160 on practice tests, but would like to get that up. Thank you!

Hey everyone, so since my fall semester just came to a close, I am about to start serious LSAT study again. I am pretty stressed about it all though, because for about a year and a half I’ve been studying the CC and full proofing LG. I have gotten to the point where I’m pretty comfortable with LG, but it has been so long since I’ve done any LR or RC. I am just concerned that all of the studying I did previous to fool proofing has been for nothing, since I didn’t keep up with it very well while I was fool proofing. I wanted to start taking PTs over the winter break, but I’m unsure if I’m ready since I haven’t done much LR training while I was foolproofing. So I guess my question is, how important is consistency if I’ve already studied for so long? Should I go ahead and begin practice testing, or should I redo all of the CC on LR and RC, which initially took me about 6 months?
