Weird LSAT Experiance - LR-LG-RC-TOLD Experimental?

I had LR which I found very difficult but I think I pulled through. LG was harder, but not crazy, then RC was quite easy. BUT my last section was a experimental that was a variation on logic games with survey questioins. Did anyone else get this? It was told in BOLD this is an unscored section, and it seemed like they were testing something new? Lemme know if this happened to anyone else?

I just read an article that the LSAC is changing the LG section due to a lawsuit that was filed in 2017 regarding the denial of an accommodation sought by a legally blind test taker. Google Angelo Binno. They chose to use the June 2022 LSAT to include the survey-experimental section. As someone else stated, changes may be coming in 2023.

48 possibly 49 depending on how the LSAT goes. :) I worked as a paralegal for about 10 years in law firms and with the US Attorney's Office. I'm excited I'm finally doing what I've always wanted to do. Cheers and well wishes to everyone on your pursuit to becoming a successful lawyer.

I am a NTS with a less than stellar GPA (3.04). I was told by a law school admission rep that I did not need to provide an addendum to explain my GPA because I have been out of school so long. Is this true across the board or would I need to contact each law school I plan to apply?

So basically LSAC is saying, there has been too much success on the LG section due to 7Sage's "free" LG videos and therefore, these must be removed to ensure there will not be "as much success" on this section. Is that the understanding? By the way, THANK YOU and everyone else who creates the BEST learning environment one can experience with 7Sage!!

I second what trishues said above. I've NEVER been a morning person. I used to wake up at 8:20am for my 9 to 5 shift. But now that I'm married and working full time, being free to hang out with my wife after work is essential! So, this year I started waking up an hour earlier and gradually moving that time back (I'm at 4:30am now!).

It sucks at first. Like, a lot. But it's SO worth it to finish your work day and realize, "oh, hey, I've already studied for an hour today!" It reduces that post-work crunch feeling (dinner, studying, socializing, and suddenly your day is maxed out). When you study first thing, the post-work period feels refreshingly...discretionary?

Like, if you want to see friends, see them! If you really bombed that logic game, go ahead and drill for an hour. And so on.

I've also found that working out first thing in the morning dramatically increases my mental acuity and mood, so I HIGHLY recommend doing so if you're able! After a good run, a shower, and a cup of coffee, the morning grogginess is no longer a factor.

Ultimately, you're going to have to find the life balance that works for you. Consider this a great opportunity to piece together a disciplined routine that can apply to law school and beyond! For me, thinking about what kind of student, what kind of husband, and--more generally--what kind of person I want to be lead to the breakthrough where I just felt "I'm going to HAVE to be a morning person for this to work."

Thank you for this advice. I too am NOT a morning person and this has truly been my struggle..."It reduces that post-work crunch feeling (dinner, studying, socializing, and suddenly your day is maxed out)." I am willing to give morning studying a try. :smile:

Hi @, @, and @

Sorry for the trouble. We rolled out a fix and you should now be able to access the Logic Games video explanations for the PrepTests you have access to in your course.

Let us know if you're still having issues.

Awesome! Thank you much for the quick response!

Is there a chance to upgrade to retain access to the LG explanations for a shorter amount of time for those taking the November test?

Hi there,

The only options for upgrading are to Premium, Ultimate, or Ultimate+. However, you will only pay the difference between the courses. For example, if you upgrade from Starter to Premium, you will pay $170.

Please note that with the Starter course, you will continue to have access to the Logic Games video explanations for the PrepTests included in your course (PrepTests June 2007 and 36-44). The explanation videos are available on the Explanation Videos tab (https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-explanations/). You will also continue to have access to the full Core Curriculum.

Let us know if you have any further questions!

Hello Juliet-

It keeps saying that I cannot access the logic game explanation videos for the prep tests that I have access to (since I have the starter package I should have access to the games video for prep test 41) unless I upgrade to premium or higher. On the discussion forum, you stated that folks who have the starter package would retain the explanation videos for the games of the practice test that are included. Can you please help me troubleshoot?

I have the same question. I thought these videos would still be included. Did I misunderstand this information?

This is the message I am now seeing...We regret to inform you due to forces beyond our control these LG explanation videos are no longer freely available. For more information, please see 7Sage Forum or Reddit.

The full set of LG explanation videos are only available to students with LSAT Premium or higher level courses.

You need LSAT Premium or higher course to see this video. Enroll now in less than a minute.

Hello Alicia. I just finished the MSS problem sets in the CC. A couple of tips that really helped me identify the correct answers were to ask myself, “Can I prove this?” “Why should I believe this?”

"Says who/where does it say that?” for each answer choice. I echo what @ says as well. I began to paraphrase the stimulus in my own words then determine what I think the answer choice should be and type out "why" I believe that is the correct answer choice and type out "why" the other answer choices are incorrect. This made a world of difference for me. Hopefully these tips will help you out.

Some law firms give free donuts on Fridays.

And the firm I worked for had a bar, juices, sodas and snacks. So there's that. :)

That's an older article from May I believe. Here's the most recent update:

http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/plan_to_drop_law_school_entry_exam_requirement_withdrawn_before_house_vote

Ok great. Thanks for the update!

Hello 7Sage Community! As a non traditional prospective law school student who has been out of school for awhile (94) and thinks this is a necessity, I would love to find a mentor to walk with me, share their advice and experience with applying to law school and attending law school. I truly believe having a mentor in the area that you are pursuing your dream/passion is vital. I am new to Houston TX, so I'm not sure what avenues are available to seek out this information. I would like to know if anyone has any ideas and/or suggestions on how to find a mentor. Thanks in advance!

There are apparently some big changes in place for law school admission testing requirements. Interesting times ahead indeed. Let's stay focused and continue to study hard regardless of the test you decide to take for law school admission! http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/aba_legal_education_council_rule_change_end_admission_test_requirement

Working FT During Law School

Hey Everyone,

I am curious. Will any of you be working FT during law school? If so, how do you plan on tackling/managing working FT and going to law school PT? I've heard a few people advise that you should not work at all your first year of law school, but honestly, that is not going to be an option for me. Is any one else facing this situation?

Unfortunately, there will no longer be free access to the videos on 7Sage either, but we have decided that students enrolled in our Premium, Ultimate, and Ultimate+ courses will have access to all Logic Games video explanations (currently PT 1- 87). That way, you don't necessarily have to buy U+ in order to access them.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

So if you have the Starter course we will no longer have access to the LG videos?

I'm also interested.

Interesting article-especially this LSAT info: Amid the rise in applicants, the council is moving forward with significant changes in how the LSAT is administered. The exam will be given 10 times a year starting with the 2020 admissions cycle, up from the current six times. And the test will go digital in the spring of 2019—it’s currently the only graduate admission test given on paper. https://www.law.com/2018/07/30/number-of-law-school-applicants-surges-especially-among-high-scorers/

Confirm action

Are you sure?
