Did I miss a PDF for the valid vs. invalid forms or are they just in the videos?

I hope everyone is keeping their heads up in these times.

I got waitlisted and would like to send an updated resume. Since I finished the LSAT, I have been learning the Russian language. I know Arabic, Hebrew and conversational Spanish and I chose Russian because I love the language and have always wanted to learn it. I also know that being a multi-lingual lawyer can only be a competitive plus. Does anyone know how I can go about sending an 'updated resume'?

This is what I have so far but it feels so bland. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you everyone.

Dear Admissions Committee,

Thank you for reviewing my application for admission to XX School of Law. Since completing the LSAT, I have been teaching myself the Russian language. A multi-lingual lawyer is indispensable and learning Russian can only open more doors of opportunity for myself and put me at a competitive edge.

Furthermore, I would like to express my continued interest in the school of law.

Sincerely,

XX

Hi everyone.

I might be a little late to the party with this question but does anyone have a list of conclusion types?

Perhaps even with an example Q to go along with it for reference (if not I am still appreciative).

I came across a NA Q (PT 70.1.13, for those who are interested) and I struggled with this Q until I saw a comment that cleared it all up for me. I don't want to put this person on the spot by publicizing their 7sage username but to quote their comment, " [the] key to answering this conclusion requires identifying what type of conclusion is made. in this question, the conclusion is a comparative statement about the effectiveness of an ad". As soon as I noticed that the conclusion was in fact a comparative statement, I knew what I had to do and the AC I eliminated time and time again became the obvious answer.

That is when I had my 'aha' moment! So then I said to myself we can have a causal conclusion, comparative, one based on a likelihood/probability, cause and effect, etc. "What conclusion types are there and what do I do when I have spotted it" became my train of thought.

Being that the LSAT is a marathon and not a sprint, and with that being said, I am ready to close my LR gap a bit further now. I suspect that being able to identify the type of conclusion made in an argument helps close that LR gap.

Is this something that I missed in the CC?

High LR scorers: do you implement this in your analysis of an argument?

Very interested to hear your comments because I think this is key to what is holding me back in LR.

(I also struggle with RC and I think taking this ultra-sensitive approach might help me as well.)

Thanks 7Sagers!

I was making a note to myself that in grouping games, if they tell you there are X amount of groups and they don't give any rules regarding who can go in which group number, then I shouldn't worry about making game boards based on if M can go in groups 1, 2, or 3 because it doesn't matter, as long as it isn't with P.

Don't let the group numbers interfere with your game.

Get it? Game?

Where are my New Yorkers at who would get this?

Hi everyone. I started full-proofing LG in PTS 1-35 and am wondering....

Q1: Is it worth printing out the games I need to continue full-proofing or is it redundant when I can just hop back on laptop, open up my problem sets and re-do games?

Q1a: Is the idea that it is just quicker in general to redo a game and check on my setup/inferences by just flipping over my printed sheet of paper which would have one clean LG and the other side would have the setup?

I dont mind printing, its just taking me a while to print, etc.

Q2: IN ADDITION, how come the games aren't set to print on 1 sheet, each game I print ends up splitting onto 2 pages. Anyone know the remedy for this? #help #admin

Thanks!

I don't remember seeing Eval in the CC and can't find it either in the CC. JY explains 'toggling' for the ACs on PT 79.1.17 and I have no idea what he means by this. I am assuming he means looking for a vacillation between strengthen and weaken per AC? Not sure how to approach this Q-type.

Can someone let me know where I can get some study material on evaluate the argument as I read they are more common on the recent LSATs.

Thanks.

I started out doing full length PTs and transitioned to Flex PTs soon after LSAC announced the flex. I recently took a full-length PT and my score went up by 5 points! It was beautiful. Then I realized that it could be variance, and it could also be that my RC scores are poor and that having 2 LR sections offset my overall score. Any thoughts on this? Should I stick to 3-section PTs as a more accurate measure of my scoring which seems like the right move?

Further, is there a way convert my score from LawHub into 7sage to reflect both a full-length PT AND a flex-pt with 3 sections? I would like to see how my score would be scored as a 3-section PT in addition to the conversion I made from into 7sage from LawHub as a length PT if that makes any sense.

On another note for those of you who would like to share their feedback, being that my scoring in RC is subpar, should I spend extra time working on RC or solidify my LR which is my 2nd best section after LG? Looking to yield the most points before November, obviously ;)

Thanks 7sagers!

Hi everyone.

I understand this is an incredibly competitive cycle but does anyone know if this is the case for P/T programs as well? I get that people are working from home and it makes it much easier for a student to study for the LSAT-hence all the score spikes, but honestly it is much harder for me to be able to study as a mother to a toddler. I am a part-time applicant for that reason and so I am wondering if anyone has any insight.

Thank you and best of luck with everyone studying/waiting for schools to respond!

Last LSAT I took was a nightmare with my proctor. I made sure to tell my proctor that I am home alone, that I left my turned-ff phone in another room, and kindly requested I not get interrupted during the exam. I basically wanted to do what I could to avoid a horror story.

My proctor only chatted with me–I did not think anything of it.

During LG, she couldn't see my chin so she messaged me. I had a flashing box on the lower-right hand corner of my screen and had to click on it to open it. I adjusted my face and continued writing on my scrap paper. A second later I got another flashing and her message was a thank you. Again, I got interrupted and had to X-out of the chat box. At this point I got annoyed but contained myself and continued working. Then I got a smiley face! I shouted, "please stop interrupting me!" I might have been rude but at that point she threw me off focus for silly things and I made sure I was clear at the start to avoid interruptions.

I apologized at the end of the exam but I did not need 'thank you's' and smiley faces during my LSAT.

If I get another proctor who wants to just 'chat', can I request a different proctor? Maybe I am being a bit over but I really do not want to get thrown off my game again. Then again I heard of proctor's that forgot to mute themselves. >.((/p)

Any advice would be appreciated.

My takeaway: Keep your chin up.

RC is holding my back from getting the score I want. LG is my strongest section and LR is my 2nd best. RC however-is horrible. I am almost embarrassed to say this but whatever...I can get anywhere from -8 to a whopping -13 (and it is usually the latter number)!

I have tried just about everything from low-res notes, passage structure, slowing down, reading faster, feigning interest. It is making me feel like I will never get over this hump. I usually do an RC section a day or every other day. I took a few days off from the LSAT since the Oct-Flex to freshen up but just bombed an RC section that I took.

I keep seeing people post about RC and I implement the advice others get so I am not sure how many people will be able to suggest anything new or different, but I am open to anything at this point.

The crazy thing is sometimes I will finish a section and be like okay, this is working I think I did well-only to be super disappointed when I see my wrong Qs after BR.

PLEASE HELP!

Hi everyone,

I am not taking anymore PTs so I do not get burnt out but would like to continue doing sections and BRing. I heard that LSAC will be using 'older' non-disclosed LSATs but does anyone which PTs would be most similar to January expectations?

I also remember the Powerscore podcast from November making predictions but not sure if they are applicable to January.

Good luck to everyone and thank you 7sagers.

I have made strides with RC but have noticed that the Qs I am missing are all inference Qs. What should I do differently to tackle inference Qs? Are the AC's typically weaker since we are making inferences?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Have there been misc games in the recent tests? I am full-proofing LGs in PTs 1-35 and don't want to spoil the more recent tests for myself but would like to know if I should be dedicating equal time on the misc games as much as the rest?

Hi everyone. I applied to law schools and realized I needed to also submit an addendum. Anyone have any suggestions how to email the school and ask to add the attached file to my application file?

I feel absolutely sane asking this Q to other LSAT students, since a common theme is asking how to read and discovering that reading is a skill and one needs to be active in order to read with conviction.

I would like some insight as to how you imagine what you are reading on RC, or rather how you visualize the passage. I hear this strategy works wonders, and I can do it if I really take my time (going too slow that I can't finish under timed constraints), but I can't go insanely slow.

People say they imagine a speaker, a friend, someone they know who is always questioning things, etc. Do you have a specific face for a science passage, humanities, legal passage, etc? I end up wasting precious seconds debating who to put as the face to my passage and I don't think it is worth it.

At one point I was scoring -16 on RC and now I am around -8 so I think I am learning how to read with the an improved agenda. I want to close in on that gap and I feel that this idea of creating a visual can be valuable.

Making connections in the passage has been helpful but visualizing requires extra effort on my part and takes away from my time. Again, I understand the concept of putting up extra time on the passage and flying through the Qs but I am not talking about passage reading totaling 3 minutes, it could be 6-8 minutes depending on the passage.

Furthermore, I actually do enjoy the passages for the most part-and the ones that start out a bit slower, I engage and act excited and I think that helps!

So, fellow 7Sagers, how do you picture what you read?

Hi all. I am 31, graduated over 10 years ago from an undergrad in architecture. Since then I have worked in the real estate sector and have lived abroad teaching English (also got TEFL certified). I want to go into Real Estate law. I have no background in law whatsoever.

I plan on taking the LSAT in August to apply for fall 2021. My GPA is a 3.2. Should I focus my studies on the LSAT or should I take an online 5-week summer pre-law program (only 3 hours a day), to spruce up my resume. I feel like I am competing with people who are paralegals or have pre-law backgrounds and so wanted something to make me more appealing to an application board.

I am a single mom and finding time to study quietly is hard enough as it is. So worth doing this online pre-law course? Would never have been able to do it in-person so thought of taking advantage of it being offered online.

Pros, cons? Thanks a lot guys and good luck with your LSAT studies.
