January LSAT?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently due to be taking the November LSAT here soon but I am at least 5 points off of where I want to be at the low/mid 160s with a 3.7 GPA. Will I be screwing myself over by taking the January LSAT and looking to apply this cycle? I'm not looking for T30 or even T80. Just want some opinions if the score boost will be worth the later applications.

Thanks

How to Choose Class?

Hi everyone, I'm looking to watch the recorded classes, but because there are so many available for any given tag, I'm having a hard time choosing which to watch. It doesn't feel efficient to go through every single one of them until I find the one that clicks for me, but maybe it'll pay off in the long run? Anything would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Live class idea

I have a hard time prephrasing. In some live classes we do pre phrases before going into the AC's. But I was thinking that it would be good to have a class that focuses a bit more on prephrasing and how to actually prephrase correctly.

How often do analytics update? I did around 40 questions in the past 24 hours but no change in my analytics -- this includes no changes in the percentage and the questions taken. But when I check my drill history, the questions are there. Do analytics update at a specific time daily? Can you change it so that it update in real time?

I also noticed that the ones not included tend to be my 1-3 question drills. 10+ questions at a time update normally.

LSAT

Hey

I got a 152 on my Oct LSAT unfortunately and I’m looking for advice. Do I try again in January for a score boost or do I apply next cycle. I’m applying in Canada so most apps are due on the 1st of Nov. my apps are done and my undergrad I’m currently in is Engineering. Is it worth doing a masters/ work experience then revisiting law school after or try to push myself for the January one

I’m looking for I guess things to do differently if I am writing in Janurary. Is it worth it to try especially when it will be a blind score being attached to my applications. I was scoring consistently 160 on Pts leading up to it so I don’t know what happened tbh.

I’m just upset with myself so any help would be extremely appreciated, I also don’t know if I should cancel my score or not or leave it.

Essayist: The historical figures that we find most engaging are very rarely those who are morally most virtuous. What most commonly distinguishes them is their bravery and creativity. Thus, moral virtue is not among the characteristics that we admire most, since the people whose lives we would most like to live are those with characteristics we admire most.

Which one of the following is an assumption required by the essayist's argument?

A) The historical figures that we find most engaging are those lives we would most like to live.

B) Bravery and creativity are characteristics that makes it more difficult to be morally virtuous.

C) Historical figures are very rarely morally virtuous.

D) People develops their conception of what makes an individual admirable based on what they know about historical figures

E) Moral virtue is the characteristics of historical figures that we find least engaging.

Why is the correct answer A and not B?

Website Bug Issues

Is anybody else having an issue in the explanation videos where the page reloads for no reason, and it boots you out of the video? Super annoying and happens to me like 2-3 times every video. Yes, I've reset my computer. I also use Chrome if that makes a difference.

New feature: more options for blind review

Did you know you can customize what 7Sage recommends for blind review? We've added two new options to give you more control:

  • Random correct. We'll recommend a couple of random questions for blind review. This is a great way to keep blind review more blind. The setting is off by default.

  • Multiple answer changes. We'll recommend questions where you changed your answer two or more times, since you probably weren't certain of your final answer. The setting is on by default.

Change your blind review settings here.

Hey, in the latest update to the UI the feature where you could see when you selected a certain AC during the time you were taking the question was removed. The time bars you see after you take a drill/section are all grey, instead of having green or red to mark when you selected a correct or incorrect AC.

Not having this feature makes me record my sessions so that I can manually collect this data myself -- Please please add it back to the UI ASAP please as I'm sure it was just a mistake.

Thanks

Flaw Type: Unrepresentative Sample

I came across a question that said something along the lines of "In a survey 60% of participants said yes and 40% said no" and the conclusion was "This shows more people believe yes than no" (Granted the question was much more nuanced and another flaw was present but thats besides the point of my question).

One of the ACs said "They draw a conclusion about the population in general based on only a sample of the population"

Even though I got this question correct because I saw the other flaw in the argument, the AC above was wrong which confused me because the explanation why it was wrong specifically said "there is nothing inherently flawed about drawing a conclusion from a sample. What would be flawed is relying on an unrepresentative sample".

Does this mean that if it said "We surveyed NYC, here are the results, therefore more people say yes than no" would be correct? or is it incorrect because it included information regarding the sample. In the question above there was no information regarding how the survey was conducted or who was a part of it but, they still made a generalization of the population from whatever sample they surveyed.

On PT110.S2.Q23, I had each conditional, contrapositive, and chain mapped out correctly; however, I still got the question wrong. I watched the video explanation, and I'm still stumped. I can't understand how any of the answers are correct, because they all seem wrong. The correct answer is E, and I see where ONE of the conditions (inspires revulsion -> threatening) is met; however, the answer choice includes the word "and," so, it seems like both conditions would need to be met? But the second condition (physically dangerous -> threatening) is NOT met--the correct answer explicitly says the monster is NOT physically dangerous. Can someone help me understand why E is still correct?

Do you know what I think would be a really helpful macro on this platform? To add a macro for question type be able to turn on and off what question type is being administered during the test.

The macro would start in the off position but would act much like turning off the timer counting down. This way...you can reinforce pattern recognition of question types and apply in real time. Push this to the top!

Kevin Lin

To be fair, I have heard great things about 7Sage for a long time, but Kevin Lin is the reason I'm here. I'd really like to take a class that he is confirmed to be teaching. Tutoring would be great too, if possible. Can anyone advise?

Hello! I've been thinking about this for a while, but it would be helpful to create a custom review set. For example, I'm trying to review all of the questions I got incorrect the first time and got correct in blind review to see my conceptual gaps. The only problem is to see my "actual take" and "blind review" answer choices, I have to go all the way to "review" for the Preptest the question came from. For single question from a drill set, that isn't really possible since I haven't done the whole exam or if I look for the drill set the question came from (hard when you've done so many questions). Otherwise, my only other option is to click on the magnifying glass or go to the explanations tab to review the question (which doesn't show my previous answer choices). Maybe there is a way to do this and I'm not aware - please let me know if that's the case! Thanks a bunch! :)

Hello! I am not sure this is the right place to ask but I need to solve this asap.

A couple of months ago I used my old email to create a 7sage account. I also bought the monthly plan linked to my lawhub. Now I'm back to LSAT so I decided to go with 7sage again. However, this time I used my new email and I was unable to try to link the coach to my lawhub. The error messaged stated that the "coach was already assigned to this user" but I could not access 7sage materials.

Anybody having idea how to solve this? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Admin note:

Your LSAC Prep Plus subscription can only be connected to one 7Sage account. If you have another 7Sage account already linked to your LSAC Prep Plus subscription, this is most likely the cause of the issue. To resolve this, please make sure you are using the 7Sage account that is already linked to your LSAC Prep Plus subscription/Lawhub account. For assistance, please send an email to studentservice@7sage.com, and a student service representative will assist you as soon as possible.

CAS and LSAT scores

I am looking to begin the application process, but I am waiting on my LSAT score from October to come back. I currently have an LSAT score from August. If I pay for a CAS report, will it automatically use my August score because I have not received this new score? If so, will it update automatically with my October score if it is better?

Also, do I need to submit letters of recommendations before I order CAS? I feel like I am missing information about the "right order" for all of this.

Missing Timing in Drills

In the Drills that can be launched from the Dashboard page, the timing always appears blank, even though it records when I select an answer. I like to compare my time to the recommended time, so I hope this can be fixed!

Flaws about Samples

I recently did a spot the flaw question where it said something along the lines of "We did a survey and 50% of people surveyed believed if A then B and 25% of people surveyed believed if B then C. Therefore more people believe if A then B compared to if C then B"

I saw two flaws here:

1) They draw a conclusion about the population in general based on only a sample of the population (we do not know who many were surveyed)

2) They have a mistaken conditional where they switched if B then C to if C then B

The problem was that EACH were mentioned in the answer choices with #2 being correct.

The explanation why 1) was wrong is "there is nothing inherently flawed about drawing a conclusion from a sample. What would be flawed is relying on a unrepresentative sample, but thats not what 1) says"

This explanation threw me for a loop. I understand unrepresentative as in "We asked 10,000 kids so it applies to the whole population" because these are different groups

BUT does this mean if it said "We asked 10 people, 50% said yes and 25% said no so more people believe yes" it wouldn't be a flaw?

OR

Because the question did not mention anything about the sample, there is no way for the sample to be unrepresentative for the argument even if we draw a conclusion about people in general for the sample like if the argument said "We conducted a survey and 60% said they believe in Santa and 40% said they do not, so more people than not believe in Santa" is not a flawed argument

If you want to find the exact question it starts with "A recent survey showed that 50 percent of people polled believe that elected officials"

Hi all -

I took an extended break from studying and am currently working a new job after declining admittance into law school. I believe that if I am able to give myself ample time to study, then I will be able to make a better score, get better scholarships, and in turn get into a better school.

Does anyone have any advice as to how to get back into studying? I previously used 7Sage and was wondering what the pros/cons of using it would be. Thank you all!
