I think this is something that many people don't fully come to but once you realize that every flaw, weaken, strengthen, SA are the same, .A flaw ask you to speak out the problem, A weaken asks you to actually identify the flaw and expose it with a scenario. every strengthen question asks you to shore up the flaw in the argument. and SA questions ask you to find the link between premise and conclusion which is a flaw.

Memorizing common flaws will help you with at least 3 of the 4 above and is a game changer for speed and accuracy

Ok, I see. Are there any resources besides the CC that you'd recommend for memorizing common flaws? Or would you say the CC is the best place for that?

Understanding flaws is crucial to Flaw questions, assumption questions and weaken/ strengthen. I had a hard time intuitively understanding common flaws until I Read the flaw lessons in the LSAT trainer. Instead of memorizing all the individual flaws. Mike Kim categorizes them in a very particular way that gives you a glimpse of how the test makers make arguments in the LSAT. once I understood that, Flaw, NA and SA became much more transparent.

LSAT · Does “probably” mean “most”

No. Absolutely not in any context within the LSAT. most is an existential qualifier while probably is a representation of probability.

General · July LSAT Score Release Date

arman6592

Wednesday, May 29 2019

The deadline for October is Sep 10th I believe. That leaves us with less than 2 weeks from getting the score to deciding wether to take October test. The problem is that while it’s before the deadline, many preferred test centers will be full by late August. So if we register for October and pay the fee, do we get a refund from LSAC if we end up cancelling our July score?

@ @ I might give this a try! How well did it help with RC?

I think the 7sage course is fantastic. Other then doing PTs/drills to apply and perfect what you have learned in the CC, I think the course is really all that is necessary. Just make sure to drill flashcards on important information----it's worth every second spent. If you're only 38% off the way through, there is probably another 150+ more hours to learn from, exciting!! :D

You are on the right track.

However, I did read the Bible Trilogy after I finished the CC. I thought it was by no means even a quarter as comprehensive as the 7sage CC. I only pulled out tips here and there from the books as most of the points hit were covered in the CC, but it was a good refresher starting up again for a retake.

The trainer was tremendous help with RC! Mike Kim, the author of the LSAT trainer emphasizes on reading structure. it helped me understand how to approach RC: examining the passage and understanding why the author is writing the passage rather than trying to comprehend the specifics of what the author is saying. in my experience, it's made me more confident approaching RC and helped me bring down my -10 avg per section to around -4.

General · Need A 20-25 PT increase. Any advise?

in addition to all the great advice above I also recommend you pick up the LSAT Trainer for RC. I went from -10 min in RC to -4 avg in a week thanks to the trainer.

The CC is phenomenal for mastering the fundamentals and LG. I personally recommend the LSAT trainer in addition to the CC. It really emphasizes on reading structure which is crucial for RC. The trainer also categorizes flaws in a very particular way that increases your ability to critically evaluate arguments for flaws/Assumption questions and Strength and weaken.

General · Digital LSAT Tester Live (Opt-in Beta)

arman6592

Saturday, Apr 20 2019

I just took PT 62 through the digital beta. first off I'd like to thank 7sage for rolling out digital versions of PT's! I'll be switching between digital and paper versions of PT's for the july test since we don't know which version will be administered.

Secondly, I'd like to emphasize on a glitch I found with reading comprehension. I apologize if this has been noted as I haven't read all comments but I'd like to point out that when I underline or highlight text within the passages using my stylus, the text becomes indented as if i'm pressing tab in a word document. Is this a glitch or is this purposeful? Also, I'm using a surface book 2 with a surface stylus with the latest google chrome.

@ @

When you say the angle is supposed to be 30 degrees, do you mean the angle of the stand (Angle A) or the angle of the tablet (Angle B )? Picture for reference: https://ibb.co/L1K52Gq

I know this question is super nit picky, so my apologies! I like my screen to be upright so I might have to adjust accordingly when I PT.

You have two options: lay the tablet flat on the desk or tilt the surface stand as far as it goes which will automatically create the 30 degrees i mentioned earlier. You cannot tilt it midway to keep it upright. To reference with the picture, tilting A all the way back will make B stand at a 30 degree angle. I hope that helps.

I have no idea what was wrong with your tablet, but that is not at all how mine functioned or anyone around me who played with the option. It was absolutely adjustable to varying degrees of being propped up. My tablet was maybe 1.5" off the table and held just fine. It was definitely not an all or nothing kickstand like prop.

I think you misunderstood lol. Yes it is a normal surface go tablet and you can adjust in multiple angles but the proctors strictly forbid us to hold them upright and told us that it has to be flat or tilted all the way. that is what I meant when I said "you have two options" lol. Maybe the proctors were wrong at my center? idk I'm just relating my experience. Hope that helps.

My experience was smooth! I actually loved it, specially the stylus/pen. It’s a pen with the eraser as the stylus. So intuitive and fast. There is no need for switching pencils, resetting watch, bubbling answers. Procedurally felt quicker as well. Very similar to 7sage digital as well. Just remember if you are practicing with a tablet, you cannot raise the tablet more than 30 degrees.

LSAT · ⚖ Official July 2019 LSAT Discussion Thread ⚖

Tuesday, Jul 16 2019

Reddit and Powerscore users are hypothesizing that LSAC sprinkled experimental questions all throughout the three LR sections. This seems plausible if you assume that LSAC will re-use the same test for the test takers that had technical issues with the tablets and couldn't take the test on Monday. If they do re use the same test then it's absolutely plausible since they wouldn't want people knowing which section is the experimental.

Admissions · Spivey predictions for 2018-19

arman6592

Sunday, Apr 15 2018

These predictions are somewhat putting a smile on my face since I'll be applying next cycle. I agree that the GRE pool is too low to make a meaningful impact and in addition, I believe that contrary to what many believe, the GRE will not have a trickle down effect. My uneducated prediction is that the point of the LSAT was to establish a standardized measurement that can be measured across all applicants. Throwing the GRE as an official option for all ABA accredited law schools will require admission offices to rethink their approach and possibly create a complicated system of comparing applicants with different admission tests. The GRE and LSAT are not similar. The prep that is required to excel in each test is fundamentally different so creating a standardized Z score may be harder than you might think? Maybe, I could be wrong.

P.S: New 7sager here, nice to meet you all.

I do them on my surface, so I don't print for any drilling material, just PT's. if you dont have a touch screen tablet or you want to keep committed to test conditions, then a cheap brother laser printer with generic brand toner is cost efficient as well

General · Should I still apply? Top 14

arman6592

Tuesday, Aug 07 2018

First off, take a breath. You’re 19 years old who has just graduated with a T-14 acceptable gpa. Congrats on graduating at such an early age.

Now on to Business. You should definitely aim for T-14 if you want to. However I would recommend sitting this Cycle out for 2 reasons: first, Having a year more for LSAT will substantially help you achieve a high score, given that you use the time wisely. Secondly, at such a young age, you should spend this year growing, working, building your resume, enjoying life. You are way ahead of most people so relax a bit and please don’t rush and haphazardly apply this cycle because you’ve got way more potential than what you can put in in a month!!

LSAT · RC Passage Speed Improvement

arman6592

Saturday, Aug 04 2018

instead of trying to understand details about what the author is saying. focus on the reading structure of the passage for your initial read. You don't have to understand the technicalities as long as you know what role those technicalities play in the overall structure of the passage. Is it a premise? main point? example? or any other relevant structural role that is appropriate. Of course if there is a question about the specifics of those technicalities, then you'll have to read it again. but in my experience I've been much quicker by focusing on structure for the initial read.

General · Should I augment my LG studying since the LSAT is going digital?

arman6592

Thursday, Aug 02 2018

I used my surface pen all throughout CC as well as using the surface for fool proofing LG 1-35. Of course i've had to move on to paper due to post CC PTs. However i'll honestly say that using a tablet is actually easier since you can erase instantly without wasting time.

also, to add to the topic of digital LSATs, if the digital format rolls around, i guarantee you will have the option of the traditional paper format. the GRE's has been computerized for over a decade, yet paper tests are conducted several times a year.
