Would anyone be willing to look over my LOCI??

I'm an idiot. I registered for the LSAT prior to the deadline for November. It asked for a photo and I just uploaded a selfie from a while ago because it was perfect - plain photo background, no shadows, etc. I began to read the requirements and I think I'm screwed. For starters, I lost about 25 pounds since then. Secondly, I shaved my beard about 3 weeks ago so it's not as full. Genuinely worried that my test is not even going to happen because I was being stupid and wasn't thinking carefully. The anxiety is officially through the roof. Not sure what to do.

Are the sub game boards necessary for this last game?

Thanks!

Is there anyone in the Philadelphia area that is interested in doing a Study Group? I am taking the August 2021 LSAT and looking for a study buddy/buddies to review PTs and individual sections with. I have a pretty open schedule during the summer months!

I'm confused as to why people think it is easy. The LG and LR was definitely easier than normal but I think the RC made up for the lack of difficulty. I got right around my average score. I'm not sure why people think it's an easy test. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Just started with 7Sage! Is it recommend to go through the coursework in chronological order first before utilizing the live classes? Can anyone share how they go about using this as a tool?

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 :)

Anyone have any tips on how to approach these? Are they essentially just MSS questions?

It seems I consistently make 1-3 LR confidence errors per test. If any of you have had this issue, how have you fixed it? Thanks for the help :)

accidentally filled in wrong score manually.

Since there is no Logic Game for the new LSAT, what fundamental concepts can we skip? Many lessons on the "Conditional and Set Logic" chapter seem to be most relevant to logic game. Should I just skim thru them if I am taking the new LSAT without Logic Game?

Looking for an LSAT study buddy in metro Atlanta for September/ December LSAT.

Hi,

Is there a study guide that lists all the questions on the LSAT and their type. When I answer those LSAT questions, some of the questions can be confusing and I don't know what they are asking. For instance, I did a MSS question but I thought it was a Most Sufficient Question. If I had known it was a MSS question, I would have chosen the right answer choice. If there are resources on that, please let me know.

Lately, anecdotal evidence has me thinking that the LSAT skews more toward the later answer choices (D and E) in what seem to be harder questions. I wonder if anyone has run some simple statistical analysis on this, and this would seem to be the site that does it.

Here's a few research questions that might yield interesting results (or not):

-For LR, taking the last 10 questions of all sections that have been released and taking a look at the distribution of correct answer choices. Is there a skew toward D or E?

-For RC, take the last 2 questions of each passage that has been released and look at the distribution of correct answer choices. Is there a skew toward D or E?

-For both of the above. Instead of just looking at the distribution, one thing I have noticed is that on many of the more difficult questions, LSAC tends to insert a misleading answer toward the beginning while the correct answer is at the end. This tactic exploits a psychological tendency that people have called "priming" where a given stimulus (like a tempting but wrong answer choice) shapes the way a test taker views later information. So for all questions in which more than 15% of test takers wrongly chose A or B, what is the distribution of correct answer choices? Is there a skew toward D or E?

The last research question is especially helpful because it provides a vital piece of information when you've narrowed down answer choices toward the end. It's a more pointed way at educated guessing than blinding picking D or E. I'd love to hear what people find, if anything.

Due to school and personal obligations, I've been studying for the LSAT on and off for about a year. I took the LSAT twice, scoring a 162 in June 2020, and then a 164 in August 2020. From November 2020-January 2021, I was PT-ing an average of 164 but with an average BR of 173. After not having studied for about 4 months, I retook the 2007 test and scored a 166 with a BR of 171.

Does anyone have any advice on what my next move should be? I repurchased the 7Sage Ultimate monthly bundle.

Should I be drilling over my problem areas or should I redo or skim the LSAT curriculum as a refresher?

I'm hoping to take the LSAT again either in August 2021 or October 2021.

Thanks!

Hey guys,

Hope you all did well on December LSAT. Is anyone thinking about applying to Fordham or has already applied? I heard mixed reviews about acceptances and was wondering if anyone has some insight.

Thanks!

Hiyo! Looking for a study buddy in the NE Ohio area. I'll be taking in June. E-mail me at bluesmurf13@gmail.com if you're down. Thanks much!

Hey, leave a comment if you're not an American citizen and are prepping for admission to law school in the US. Would appreciate insights into how your processes have been.

hey guys, does any one have tips on highlighting with MacBook, on RC passages, and LR premises?

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?

Recently been having trouble with the app. on my cellphone (android). Two problems in particular :

The background noise function is seemingly permanently turned up to 10. It just spits out constant noise even at the level 1 setting.

Oftentimes after like the 1st/2nd section the app will act as if it were the 4th/5th section and play the recording for turning in answer sheets and stop timing. I can fix it just by resetting the app, but it's kind of irritating when it happens in the middle of PTs.

Anyone else have this issue? How did you fix it?

Hey there,

We noticed an issue with our videos not playing on our app after the latest iOS update. Sorry about that!

We're investigating a fix but it might take a while. In the meantime, to access 7Sage on your iPhone or iPad, please use Safari or Chrome and go to 7sage.com and login from there.

Let us know (studentservice@7sage.com) if this is affecting you and we will add +1 month access time to your account for the trouble. 

Hi, my name is Erika, I'm looking for a study buddy in the Austin area. if you're interested: e.gtz157@gmail.com

On drills, I usually go -2 on RC, -2 on LG, and anywhere from -1 to -3 on LR. But when I take PTs, my mistakes double. This has been going on for several months now.

Most recently, I split PTs 63, 64, and 65 into four individual drills. After adding up the score from each drill, my totals were 170, 173, and 171, respectively.

I just took PT 65 as a full practice test and got slammed with a 165.

It hasn't always been like this. In July last year, I was hitting the 170s with relative ease on full PTs. I took a break from hardcore studying because of work, but I made it a point to keep up with drilling. So why am I doing so poorly on PTs? Any wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Any New Orleanians in here?
