Hey y'all,

Since I've already taken PT 60 to 68, I have been foolproofing games in these PTs alongside ones in 1 all the way up to 40 and A, B, C, Feb 97 and C2. I personally like this combination very much. But I haven't touched PTs in the 70s yet.

With the exception of the last game in 72 and the virus game in 79, would you say games in the 70s are more or less very similar to games from 60 to 68? I'd like to know whether foolproofing games in the 60s(I've repeated each and every one of them at least 3 times thus far) in addition to the old PTs has prepped me well for the 70s or not.

Thank you :)

Hey 7Sage community,

I fluctuate between -5 to -12 on RC with little consistency, which really grinds my gears given how much I've tried to improve RC. I've honed in my notation, worked on parsing difficult argument structures in previous RC passages and even in my extracurricular reading, and avoid referencing the passage under timed conditions unless a question specifies a line or word. Can't say it's the science passages that get me specifically, since I usually find them to be the most straight-forward. I'd chalk up my RC pitfalls to two things: (1) I always run out of time -- I'm usually hitting the 30 minute mark when I'm about to start the 4th passage; (2) I find "Most Strongly Supported" questions are the ones that invariably give me the most trouble.

Bearing in mind these two issues, does anyone have any tips and tricks that have helped them improve their RC performance?

I'm registered for the November 2018 LSAT and as of now the earliest date I can postpone to is January 2019.. I'm going to apply next cycle so I'm thinking about the September 2019 date. It doesn't look like this option is available yet. I already emailed LSAC about this but anyone know what their reply would be?

Thank in advance.

For those of you who mastered logic games, how long did it take you? I’m considering retaking in November, but I don't know if that's enough time to go from -8 to 0 in LG

I just got my scores back from the September lsat and scored eight points below my average PTs. Could this be a fluke? I did have trouble bubbling in my answers on time. Does anyone know if we can request a copy our of exam with the scantron sheet?

Also, I am applying to law school for the Fall of 2018. Would it be too late to apply in November? Do I still have a shot at getting into schools?

If there is no PDF to review for a particular section on the lsac website for the Sept test, does that mean that was the experimental section?

Hi Guys!

Ive have been a member of the 7Sage community since December. I have been to BR sessions, Webinars, and have done the classes. I got my September score. Using the 7Sage Predictor, I atleast have a decent chance of getting into one of the schools I wanted. 11% for my dream school but hell Ill take what I can get and apply.

I started from a ghastly diagnostic score of 136! and most forums talked about how you can only get up to 10 points. I call BS on that because I am one of the outliers that proved those forums wrong. Albeit Im not the golden-180-unicorn, my point increase is more than 10. So for those worrying about their diagnostic score, take it with a grain of salt. I think as long as you work hard and actually push yourself to improve it is possible to get a decent score. Live and Breathe LSAT (for now). If becoming a badass lawyer is your dream, it will take courage and perseverance to get there. By the words of Mr. Specter, "I believe in work, I dont **** with luck". I still have a long way ahead, but 7Sage videos and the community made the LSAT bearable.

I was wondering what other people feel about their scores? This community has kept my sanity intact, and I want to give back.

What do you guys feel about your September 2018 score? Was it what you expected? What will be your action plan from here on out? Applications, Retake, etc.

is there a CC lesson on LG rule substitution Q's? i think JY mentioned it in one of his LG explanation videos.

thanks.

Hi there. I live in Asia. But as it turns out, I'm travelling to the US in November and I was wondering whether I can take the November LSAT there, even though I'm not a citizen or a resident. I'm guessing it shouldn't matter? Anyone know anything about this?

How important is the LSAT score in getting a scholarship? I'm an international student and from a poor family. I must get a full scholarship and it's the only way I can afford going to law school. I took the LSAT once and got 175. Is it enough? Should I take it again and try to get a better score or should I work on application essays and other things? Which schools give out more full scholarships to international students? Thank you for your advice!

After getting my September LSAT score, I'm pretty disappointed. I first took it in June without much preparation, and got a 151. After studying the entire summer, my PT has been around 160. However, my September score was almost the same as my score in June. I plan on taking the November LSAT, and I would really appreciate if you guys could please give me some studying advice. Thank you!

Looking for opinions from those of you wiser than me! I scored a 159 on September LSAT...exactly my practice test score. Here's the complicating factor...I missed 12 on LG, also typical for me. Long story short, I have a weird spatial learning disability that makes diagramming and inferring from diagrams quite difficult for me. I am a non-traditional student at 49 years old, have a great GPA and Phi Beta Kappa membership from undergrad, am finishing an MA in the spring, and owned my own business for 20 years prior to this endeavor. So, do I try to find some additional LG resources to complement 7Sage and re-take in November? I'm not aiming for Top 14 but financial aid is an imperative. TIA for your expertise!

I just typed out this mass of text for a comment, and thought maybe it could help others as well. This response was in regards to a question about overcoming nerves and test day stress. Hope it can be useful for you:

Simulate the real experience, and induce even more pressure.

Be realistic, and thus, relaxed

Be healthy

Nerves only exist when there are contradictions in our own minds, such as: having deep desires to achieve things that we know we probably can't actually achieve, or placing overwhelming value for specific results even when we know some things are not within our control (I use to have these contradictions in my head, and they rocketed my stress). Reconciling with our own self, and having our expectations connect with reality is the best way of getting rid of nerves, but if that isn't possible right now, then try to simulate even more extreme stress, so that the stress on the test day seems more tolerable in comparison (Imagine going sky-diving to overcome the fear of heights).

Why does it say this? "unofficial score report"

I do pretty decent on RC section and by and I thought I’d share a resource that I love that I think would be good for people to practice reading comprehension on science topics.

It’s a website called sciencedaily.com and they have abstracts from a lot of scientific journals. It’s laid out like a normal online newspaper but it is all very heavy sciency stuff on lots and lots topics. In length they’re about what a RC page is.

Anyway, I read it for fun and it does make you familiar with a wide range of science topics without getting too long and too deep into specifics

Premises: 1) a survey of 17-year-old has found that many who do not drink report having taken a pledge to refrain from drinking; 2) almost who drink report having never taken such a pledge

I wonder whether what these premises establish is a mere association (some weaker form of correlation) instead of a correlation???

Does anyone have recommendations on main conclusion questions? I am struggling in that category and can not seem to get it down. Seems like my biggest problem is finding the conclusion and premise when there is nothing but an argument starting with But,although, and however. The easier questions I don't seem to have issues with, its when we start getting towards that the harder questions.

I wanted to know if there is a general trend among people to feel one question type as more difficult than the other. So I added ones where I seem to have most frequent errors.

What do you guys think?

Hey guys!

I was hoping someone could possibly shed some light on this question. My break down of the stimulus is:

Conclusion: all whale- hunting should be banned

Premise 1: a ban on the whaling of endangered species cannot be enforced without banning the whaling of all other species

Premise 2: hunting endangered whale species should be banned

When I read the explanation in the book, they mention that premise 1 tells us that “a choice has to be made: either we do without an effective ban on the hunting of endangered species or else we ban the hunting of nonendangered species. The argument comes down in favour of banning the hunting of nonendangered species but provides no justification for preferring this choice over the alternative”

The problem I’m having is that I initially viewed that as a conditional statement. I dont see how we could chose between two options.

Any insight on this would be super helpful!

Thanks guys! :)

I am rereading PS Bible for MSS/MBT and encountered this statement (FYI; I am using 2017 edition; page 122)

The statement is "many people have some type of security system in their home"

PS classifies this reverse statement "some people have many type of security system in their home" as wrong;

while reading, I did have the sense that the statement is wrong; but I am interested in the logic behind this reversal;

I thought many is some; wouldn't these two statements be the same or am i missing something?

Hello 7Sagers!

I am wondering if someone could give me advice about what they think is the most efficient way to retain and review lR material. I want to create something that I can review everyday and that in the end will help me put all of the pieces together. So far I have been writing notes from all of my lessons, and then I rewrite them to make them look neater. I want to kind of create a cheat sheet for all of the things I am learning in the LR section.For example: I have a sheet on MBT questions. Am I doing too much? Is there a better way?

Right now I am more focused on the quality of school over scholarship opportunity. I am already signed up for November and will definitely score it, but If I am not satisfied with my score, can I still apply to a upper tier school (#10-30 range), or is my chance of getting in too low to even bother applying.

Hi. I dont think I am ready for the November test and really anxious. I know it's still a month but now I am debating if I should wait til January :( Please help?!

Can someone please explain why answer choice A is correct.

My understanding from the reading of 43-48 is that biologist were transformed into the new discipline of Molecular Biology. It makes me think two things.Either that they simply revised the old discipline of molecular biology. Or they former a new disciple of molecular biology that was not around yet.

Please help me with this question because I eliminated A based on the fact that I thought that molecular biology might had already been around and that this discover just furthered the already existing discipline making it the new discipline.

Hey guys, I have been having a lot of trouble with this question type. The easy ones I don't really have problems with, but for the harder NA questions, It seems I can always get it down to two answers, and always the correct answer is one of the two, but I sometimes end up choosing the other answer -_____-.

I always Find the conclusion first, identify the support (premise) after, then try to spot the gap in the argument. I always am able to get it down to 2 answer choices (always the correct answer choice is one of the two) and then I try to Negate the last two choices. It seems that because its difficult to pre-phrase NA questions, I have more trouble with this type. Also have been practicing the Negation techniques and seem to be improving on those as well. Any advice on what I can add in or what I have to change with what i'm doing? PLEASE HELP!! Taking test in November, I feel almost every question type I have improved so much on, just these NA questions are killing me!!! ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! Thank you!
