What’s the distinct definition of and/or explanation of the assumption in a mistaken reversal. Mistaken Reversals are daunting at times when I’m under pressure, sometimes I pick up on them, sometimes I don’t 🤦🏾‍♀️ 🥴🥴😩😂 I’ve found at times that when comparing the variables A and B in the premises that the follow A and B Variables in the conclusion; I find they are never identical 😩 that’s why I sometimes mistake- mistaken reversal for mismatched concepts instead; because my variables never follow in order for me to confirm the “like terms” were flipped 🥴 also if that is not the case should I always follow the necessary variable in premises and make sure it isn’t flipped to the sufficient in the conclusion ?!? #Help lol am I overthinking it?!?

URGENT help/advice needed...

I am taking my LSAT in January. However, I just got notified that my LSAC Fee Waiver to Law Hub expires in seven days and that there is NO way to renew it until November 27th, 2026 (a year from now). I have completed the core curriculum on 7sage and am in my first week of drilling. This means that I will be left without access to any prep tests or drill questions starting next week as I lose access to 7Sage materials due to losing my fee-waiver-provided subscription to Law Hub.

I can not afford to purchase a standalone Law Hub subscription (hence why I am on the Fee Waiver). What should I do? I already applied to law schools as the deadline was Nov 1st (the January LSAT is the last accepted LSAT score for this admission cycle in Ontario, Canada) and so this upcoming LSAT score would be the final/only score on my application....

Hey everyone! Currently in the midst of doing this for UVA which requests that all applicants:

"list your significant extracurricular, extra-professional, community and/or other activities in the order of importance to you. Please provide a brief (1) description of each activity, and (2) specify your involvement, (3) length of involvement, (4) special projects, and (5) responsibilities."

I know a couple of other schools ask something similar so UVA isn't the only one that this applies to.

Anyways, curious as to what the optimal strategy here is in terms of quantity vs. quality - probably like a lot of people I joined a TON of organizations but probably only had a serious and sustained involvement in 3-4. On my resume I've limited the number of organizations that I list to just those that I would be confident talking about if anyone were to ask me about it - I mean after all no one is really going to believe that I had a meaningful involvement in 12 different clubs/organizations.. do you think the same principle applies to this type of statement: List and explain everything you did in the handful of clubs and organizations that actually meant something to you or exhaustively list everything you were engaged in and emphasize those organizations that were most important?

Also, been out of school for 3 years now and have not been involved in any extra-professional activities - how bad is that? Not super worried about it but kind of feel like I probably should have been doing SOMETHING lol.

Hey guys, you might have noticed that it's been a while since I've responded to comments. Sorry. I must have kept many of you waiting.

I'm withdrawing from responding to comments, broadly speaking. There are a two reasons for this.

First I'd like to focus on making videos which is an incredibly time consuming thing to do.

Second, I'd like to encourage you, our community, to help each other out. I realized that going forward, in the long run, if I keep responding to comments, I would be in effect encouraging the community to always specifically ask for my response, my help, which has the unintended effect of discouraging other students from responding. That's not good for building a community where we are both teachers and students.

I am still reading the comments. If there's enough confusion, I will clarify. But, you guys are smart and very nice to each other (thank you) so I don't anticipate many problems that you cannot resolve among yourselves.

You might have noticed that our commenting system has improved. First, recent comments show up directly on your command center, after you log in. Second, we've added the "Like" feature so now you can vote up helpful comments.

Hi everyone.

I've been studying for about 8 months and finally scored above my goal of 168 to get a 169!! My average is currently at a 166. Does anybody have any recommendations for prep in the 4 weeks left to keep up this momentum and push my average a few points up?

Section wise - LG is about -2/-0, LR is -1/-6 and RC is about -3/-8 I'm currently taking a full PT and a Flex about every week with 2 days of blind review, 2 days of review and 1 day a week off. I try to foolproof and do RC passages on days I review also.

Let me know about any stress management or PT advice. Thanks guys!

Hello, I am located in Hampton, VA and looking for someone studying for the December LSAT between Williamsburg, VA and Norfolk, VA who is scoring in the 160 to 170s range that I can discuss questions and strategy with. Thanks to J.Y.P. I have gotten pretty awesome at the LSAT over the past six months. I am going insane having conversations with myself, explaining why answers are wrong or right and the logic behind my reasoning, especially with the rare difficult questions. I take a new practice test every Friday or Saturday morning and do the blind review shortly after - let me know if anyone is interested to get together a couple days a week.

So, I scored a 146 on my november LSAT with about three weeks of intense prep. Obviously the score is crap and I plan to retake the LSAT with a target score of 165. I took some time off from studying and started studying intensely about 6 weeks ago with plans to take the March LSAT. My highest PT so far is a 152 and I have about 45 more days of studying. I would ideally like to start law school in the fall. Should I cancel my March LSAT registration and plan on taking the June LSAT instead OR can I make that much of a jump from 152-165 in 6 weeks? Perhaps I could get a private tutor and nail it in 45 days. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hey everyone!

Hey guy! Im registered for the oct test. I have taken 5 PTs in July and managed to score between 159-161 ( LR -6, LG -5 RC -7 BR 164) in all of them. I have been blind reviewing and maintaining a error journal. Im starting to get really frustrated about my lack of progress. Can anyone who was in a similar place recommend what they did differently to see an increase?

Hi all

I am currently wanting to sign up for November, and have never used LSAT resources before. At this point I only have about 2 months and some change from now until test day for November 2020. Is this a viable timeframe to try to get 8-10 point bump? I've previously taken it and scored 147, a few years ago without test prep materials. I was not sure if 7sage put a strong emphasis on having months versus just 2-3

Hey quick question guys, I took my first prep test and it says 163 average score. I am asking because i have never gotten over 153 in the past so how is this graded and is this representative of your actual lsat score?

I just got my August Flex Score- 166! So happy about it and thanks so much to 7sage. However, I scored a 157 in June, should I write an addendum even if schools don't ask? Don't have that much of a reason for the jump other than just being really nervous for the June test and also studying more.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for the spreadsheet that was showcased during the LR skipping strategy webinar held by two former 7sagers (don’t have their usernames) a few months ago. I‘m not having any luck with finding the original thread.

I’m hoping someone was able to copy down the spreadsheet setup they used for tracking LR timing, confidence levels, and I believe the diminishing returns? It was a really cool and different way they used to track their progress besides just recording how much time was spent per question. I ended up not taking notes, expecting the webinar to be recorded and posted on 7sage somewhere so that’s my fault.

Anyway, I appreciate any help! Thanks everyone.

Are you someone who wouldn't settle for anything less than 170? and have correctly your friends' questionable reasoning? Or while listening to NFL's play-off season stats and started to setup splits? Well, please join us in the next few days, we'll be doing live LSAT PT section on discord server, and subsequent reviews. Many of us are getting ready to take the Jan LSAT, (myself included). We are pretty serious people, and if you are not an unserious person with similar goals, come join us at the party: https://discord.gg/QrfxGD9eD8

hi everyone. i'm currently planning on taking the february lsat which would be my first time taking the lsat. i'm prepping from now which gives me about 7 months ~ 26 weeks to prep. i just finished up this first week by taking a diagnostic and sort of practicing the blind review method with another practice exam as i heard it's really helpful among other test-takers. now i'm stuck and not really sure where to begin or how to start with the official course of prep. if it helps, i'm scoring better on logic games than LR and RC and i usually get bored very easily in the RC section and have the habit of rushing through it and getting distracted. i have access to powerscore bibles and official LSAT preptests. i'm not hoping to spend too much money on material but i am willing to purchase one of the study plans from 7sage as i've seen it's significantly more affordable than other prep websites. any help on how to start and how to space out my study days is greatly appreciated. thank you!

Hi all! I wanted to post one last time to the forum to offer my gratitude to 7Sage and well wishes for those who are still studying. This program was instrumental in getting me the score I aimed for (146 --> 167). I just got accepted to UGA and am waiting to hear back on eight others. I just want to encourage everyone to keep up the hard work and offer help to anyone who feels they could use some guidance (e.g. on tough LR questions you can't parse, LG tricks, or just a friend to vent to). I'm honestly a little sad to no longer be studying, so don't hesitate to throw questions/thoughts my way. I know how tough this process can be, and just want to do my part and make it a little easier. My access to 7Sage expires in 5 days, so the best way to reach me will be through: dmarwh0@gmail.com.

Good luck to everyone! You got this =)

I like taking timed individual sections (as opposed to a full PT) and BRing/Reviewing them right after. As of now, the digital tester does not allow you to grade individual sections. So for now I'm going to be doing it the old fashioned way (on paper).

My question is as follows: Should I use a bubbling sheet when taking these timed sections? Is doing it without it going to inflate my score? I was thinking that ditching the scantron is closer to what the digital LSAT is like where that is not necessary.

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I have been studying the LSAT for the last year and have been working on my foundations. I began consistently PTing two months ago and my current stats are 160-165 for PTs and 170-179 for BR. My average PT score breakdown is -2 for LG, -6 for LR and -8 for RC. RC is by far my most volatile section. I want to spend the next few months closing the gap between my PT and BR score. I have a drilling schedule for LG. For those who have been in a similar situation, what helped you the most in bridging the gap? What are your recommendations for LR and RC specifically?

Thanks!

Took the august flex and not 100% sure how it went. I am back at school now for my senior year so work is adding up and havent touched any lsat stuff since the test on the 29th. Should i just wait till my score comes out to figure out if I need to take again or what.. really dont want to take again and i wont be able to study as much with school work soo not sure what to do

Confirm action

Are you sure?
