Hello everyone. Both test 90 and 91 are from May 2020. What is the difference between them. They are totally different? I mean totally different questions?

I am trying to set up drills, but when there are fewer questions remaining than any of the number of question increment choices, I'm getting an error message for creating drills.

E.g. I have 4 questions left in the "Let Virtual Tutor Pick" logical reasoning section, but since the lowest increment of # of questions is 5, I get the following message: "Sorry, we were not able to create a drill based on your criteria. Please try again."

#help

I haven't taken an official test yet or a proctored exam. I'm hoping someone can answer a few questions about what I can and cannot use on the exam.

1 - Can I have my laptop connected to an external monitor?

2 - Can I use a external mouse & keyboard?

Confirming:

Are there any other significant constraints that I need to be aware of?

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know if my score will post instantly after I decide to keep it via Score Preview or do they keep the window open for the full six days (like they did with the AR Field Study compensation)? I'm wondering if I can plan on submitting my applications on Wednesday or if my score will basically be pending until that score preview window closes?

Many thanks,

Brian

Hello,

I'm writing this post to see if anyone who is in the process of BR or has done well with BR in the past has any advice. I've worked my way through the curriculum and am familiar with BR, it is a process that I've implemented with my own studies. I've now worked through the 7Sage CC, The Trainer, and LoopHole. I'm really starting to get to the meat of drilling, fool proofing, PTing, etc. When I BR, I'm able to go through the ACs and follow the steps that J.Y. has laid out with proving four wrong ACs and one right AC. But I often struggle with the more challenging questions (ones that I struggled with the first go around). I feel as though I get in a monotonous BR mode that is reevaluating the stem, stimulus, and ACs but is not conducive to seeing what went right/wrong. So my question is: is there anything extra that you have done with you BR process that you think is tangible in your results? I do use my WAJ which is a big help, but I'm just looking for that extra edge when I'm BRing. It's nice to BR an easier question you missed and have your epiphany moment and I would like to have that as often as possible!

I'm open and appreciative for any suggestions! I know BR is different for everyone so I'm just trying to take in as much as I can.

I have an LSAT absence on record from February of 2020 when the LSAT was in person...should I write an addendum explaining why?

How often should I take a practice test? I am following the 7sage syllabus and have only taken a practice test once where it was a part of the syllabus. The practice test was form 2007.

I took the October 2022 LSAT and did my writing sample for it. I wanted to redo my writing for my January test but I got caught up in turning applications in by February 1st that I forgot to redo it. January scores are released tomorrow and applications are due, I wanted to know if I retook the writing tomorrow before submitting my apps if it would count?

When answering the prompt, should you introduce the topic as though you are speaking to someone who doesn't know anything about the topic or as a response to a question? In other words, should you introduce the options at the beginning of the essay or just start with the answer?

I took the LSAT in June 2022 and hit my target score (ty 7sage), I've been planning on attending law school with the post-9/11 GI bill after serving in the Army for 3 years. Long story short, the application process takes forever and I'm worried about my score expiring before my Army contract is up. Does anyone know if my June 2022 score would be good if I were to matriculate in August 2027? It's more than 5 years but less than 5 full testing years. The 5 testing years for the application cycle that'd lead into 2027 would be: 2026-2027, 2025-2026, 2024-2025, 2023-2024, 2022-2023. But I see on the LSAT website that July 2017 scores seem eligible for current applications which would indicate six testing years including the one coinciding with the application cycle: 2017-2018, 2018-2019, 2019-2020, 2020-2021, 2021-2022, 2022-2023. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Am I allowed to chew gum during the exam? Is it at the discretion of the proctor?

I wouldn’t have any gum containers on the table ofc, just some in my mouth when the exam starts.

Hello!

We've got a new post on our 7Sage LSAT Newsletter, discussing the importance of isolating targets when studying. Check it out here: https://7sage.substack.com/p/isolate-your-targets

Hi, leave a comment below if you'd like to proctor each other for a prep test this Saturday (2/11) over Zoom! I thought it'd be a good way to keep each other motivated and accountable while also getting in the rhythm of an actual test setting.

We can coordinate to find a time that works.

My webcam showed up as mirrored when I test my equipment through proctorU, so when I hold up my ID it’s mirrored. Will this be an issue on test day/ can I fix this? Does anyone have experience with this?

Thanks!

Does anybody have all of the flaw questions that has circular reasoning as a correct answer choice?

Hey 7sage community,

This post is going to be edited multiple times by myself over the next several days/weeks...

TLDR: Free Lsat RC tutoring and LSAT coaching. Ideal for students who are really early in their process of studying or what to revamp their approach/mentality. I am intentionally starting with RC because I want to challenge the myth (yes myth) that it is the toughest section to overcome. If that's what you think, then guess what, WTF are you going do in law school? Read below for more info!

Deadline for the Application: March 10th

Short Story / About Me:

First of all, if this is a violation of the 7sage discussion forum, admin please delete this. I have not been on this website in a long time and I understand 7sage now has a tutoring program.

A little bit about me - in my last semester of law school (Dalhousie University - Halifax - Canada) and my passion for the teaching the LSAT has not gotten away from me (https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/22608/giving-back-to-the-7sage-community-free-tutoring). Secondly, I am teacher by profession. Honestly, nothing made me more happier in law school then having one of my students get accepted into York University's law program (weird but it was the honest truth). I cannot believe I am about type this - > I think law school only increased my passion for the LSAT!

Reflecting back on my law school life (loool....I should write about this in another blog), I think the best way I can give back to my law schools Weldon Tradition (google it) is to alleviate access to justice by getting more people from marginalized communities into law. I really believe this is the best way of dealing with "injustice" in the justice system.

The LSAT - I cannot stress this enough - is a great exam for developing your skills to be a great law student and lawyer. Only if I knew this, or thought of the exam differently before hand (I actually did - but I decided to have a kid LOL and that destroyed my law school timeline). TBH - I am going to restart studying for the LSAT post April and want to take my final LSAT probably next year...don't know why but I really want to ink down 170+ on my LSAT transcript. Its always been a weird passion of mine and I do not want to let this dream go (I know I am weird).

To get my free RC tutoring & LSAT coaching - DM me with the following (the more detail - the more it will help you!)

My goal is to create a group of three students - to teach you how to read RC (perhaps 7 to 8 sessions it may take) and then create a new group of three students, and continue this process. Also during this journey I want to coach you on your general LSAT journey.

.....

Stay tuned for my next LSAT post: The LSAT mentality!

P.S. I am not sure if other alum feel this way, but writing posts while being in law school about the LSAT is weirdly therapeutical LOL.

First time using 7sage. I've already taken the LSAT twice - 147 and 150. I feel confident with LG - I don't think I need to re-learn how to LG by watching the videos. Also feel pretty confident with RC.

How should I incorporate 7sage with my prior knowledge of LG + RC?

Should I skip LG + RC lessons and continue practicing? My tutor wants me to do 1 RC section daily M/W + 1 LG section daily T/Th.

LR is my weakest section. I have been studying by doing half an LR section daily M-Th with one full section on F. Averaging around -11 to -15. Clearly I'm not understanding LR. Should I only do the LR lessons and then do half an LR section once I complete the LR lessons?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, I am about halfway through the old LR CC (around Weakening Question problem sets) and I am looking to switch to the new beta CC for LR. Has anyone done this? I am looking for advice on the most efficient way to make the switch!

disclaimer: this is about my personal study schedule not 7sage's.

Hi, I am retaking the exam in April after having taken it in January this year. I am not working so I can study full time, however every time i sit down to study I get extremely overwhelmed and have no idea where to start because I know the basics and can't get a solid routine down for my week. I got 153 for January and my main issues are with LR. My PTs range from 151-159.

If drilling takes over the problem sets, (aside from few of the most recent PTs) I will not be able to take all 4 sections of any PT without some questions being spoiled, assuming I've done all drills. Therefore, if I took all 4 sections of PTs, my score would be inflated. On the other hand, if I took the 'simulated modern' version, PT 45 and onward would not be spoiled and my score would not be boosted, giving me a more realistic score. But I have heard it is good practice to take all 4 sections. So what should I do then?

Do you like to read about unknown facts? For example, about nature/animals? I think I'm the only one

Would one W on my transcript taint my applications - particularly for t-14 schools?

Hi Everyone! What LSAT prep test should I take after the diagnostic or does it matter? Thank you!!

Hey, curious how to flag specific questions in the practice tests. Is there someway of doing this?

Aside from the study breakouts offered here on 7sage, is anyone interested to cram study for the upcoming April test? Zoom modality, maybe?

If a good set of people is available near the LA area and is willing and able to meet at some library or conference room (i.e. Law Library), that would be even more interactive and efficient.
