I took the June LSAT and I still haven't submitted my writing sample! I put so much focus on the multiple choice exam that I didn't even give thought to the writing portion. Now I have questions and I really need to get this done. For instance, do you need to actually complete the entire essay? I struggle with the time constraints so I'm not confident I can draft a whole quality essay in less than an hour. Also does it have to be several paragraphs long? I've read some example submission and they seem way too long to convey simple thoughts or ideas. Help please!!!
How important is the length of the essay? I'm reading a lot of "filler" words and sentences in the examples. I feel like I could have stated my thesis, support and conclusion in 3 short, efficient paragraphs. Is there a thing of being too concise??
@Kevin_Lin I agree a fresh test is best. However I would take anything you could possibly pull together. This would be extremely helpful to see the strategies taught being used in a timed session. I think that's most important to me. Thank you for the consideration!!
I don't know if this is a feature or more of an event. But I'm new to 7Sage and I have really enjoyed the live sessions. That got me to thinking...is it possible the tutors could record themselves completing an entire LR/RC section or PT in a timed situation? I would want to hear their narration but not necessarily their entire explanation of the question and answer choices. I just want to see how the pros do it!!
I also think 7Sage could use this to raise money for a good cause because I would be willing to pay a nominal fee to view. It would even be great if the tutors could challenge each other like a heavyweight fight and see who scores the highest!! I don't know all of the details needed to make that happen but I think others would be excited to view as well. Thoughts??
@Kevin_Lin In general, if an answer choice provides a direct contradiction to the stimulus, should we ALWAYS choose to believe the stimulus over the answer choice (even if the question stem says "if true"). This happened in Q2, answer A.
I would think talking is not allowed right? I'm having the same questions so hope we get some wisdom before the scheduling tool closes.
If it helps, my score actually got worse....so there's that. Best to you in your LSAT journey!
Is there a way to calculate your score excluding the questions I did not answer? I want to know how I'm performing without using guessing. My timing of each section is poor but until I build up speed I want to see my score and know if I'm improving or not. Hope this makes sense and thanks for the help.
I'm having a hard time with the timing component. When I do drills, should I only answer what I can or is it better to answer all the questions even if they are guesses? As I'm looking at my analytics I can tell there is a problem because I'm guessing on half the section. When I just look at the questions I actively worked my percentage correct is better. Thoughts?
@DaliaGolovco Thank you!! Great to hear from you!!
