I still don't understand the concept of drilling, isn't it basically blind review of similar concepts?

So the common denominator between all 3 of these question types is..logic.

I have been through the curriculum multiple times. I know how to translate into logic. I have memorized the indicators. I understand existential quantifiers.

Why am i struggling so much with these?

I just wanted to see whats a somewhat reliable way of figuring out whether or not you will be accepted to a certain law school. I am interested in going to either USC or UCLA for law but I wanted to see how my GPA/LSAT would measure up. Anyone have some website or data source? Thanks.

I was curious if any one here knew anything about what Teach for America could do for a law school applicant? I want to practice law that involves children's rights, specifically be an attorney ad litem, so I think working with the children that Teach for America reaches would be great for my career as a lawyer. However, I was more curious what it could do for an application.

Hey everyone,

sorry if this questions has already been answered, but I was just wondering if the full prep test 81 will be available on 7sage for printing and with explanations for questions before the September test? I know the Logic game answers are up, but just wondering if the rest of the test will have answers up and if the whole test will be downloadable here?

I'm wondering if I have to buy the entire new set of tests that includes the 80s from an online source. I'd prefer not to because I have already bought a ton of the 70s as individual tests online, so don't need to buy a new book. It would be great for me if 81 was downloadable here.

let me know if you know!

So i have narrowed down my problems to MBT, and SA. Which tutor would you guys suggest for intensive stimulus breakdown and analysis into its logic

UPDATE: Submissions are now closed. Thanks to everyone who sent us their work. After Amy and Chris each pick an essay, we'll email all of you with their decision.

I'll post separately with details about the webinar, but we'll hold it on August 23 at 9 PM ET. Mark your calendars!

Hi everyone!

On August 23, 7Sage Editors Amy Bonnaffons (@amycbon) and Chris Schlegel (@cbschlegel) will do a live critique via webinar of two personal statements, and we need your help!

If you like the idea of a free critique and you're comfortable with sharing your story, send your personal statement to us! Amy and Chris will choose two essays in the coming week. As soon they choose, we'll stop accepting submissions, so the sooner you send in your essay, the better your chances.

Please follow these guidelines:

By submitting an essay, you agree to let us use it in a webinar and, possibly, in the admissions course. (We can wait until you start law school to use it in the admissions course).

I can't wait to see what you send!

Best,

David

how can i find an explanation to a lsat question if i dont know which test it was asked on all i have is the question

Hi! I am looking for a study buddy, ill be in the states from August to October. I am not sure if I will be retaking the LSAT on September or December 2017. I will be moving around from Sacramento, to LA, to NY, but ill be staying more in Sacramento.

At 2:00 of his explanation video of PT57.S3.Q18 (https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-57-section-3-question-18/ ), J.Y. refers to "the Dramamine question."

I think "the Dramamine question" is PT4.S1.Q4 ("A survey was recently conducted among ferry passengers") but does anyone know if there is a video of his explanation of "the Dramamine question" in the CC of 7Sage?

Or is there another LR question about the effectiveness of treatment of seasickness?

Thank you in advance :)

So I submitted my transcripts a while back and also received an email confirming that they were processed. However, I am unable to view what my LSAC GPA is online. Any ideas?

Lessons now appear in a different order, my study schedule now shows that I haven't completed random lessons now assigned to last week but have completed ones assigned to future weeks...how should I address this moving forward? First go after the lessons from last week before moving forward?

I've been approaching 156-160 on my PT's 46-52 however I took PT 80 and scored a 152. PT 80 seemed extremely hard to me. Are the later prep tests getting harder?

How do you drill?

What do you drill?

Just wondering what qualifies as a prerequisite for drilling

Hi everyone,

So i'm thoroughly into 7sage now and i'm really feeling like this program is changing the way I originally thought about this test. I took the June exam and got a 154. It was a 10 point increase from my cold and I just self studied with the Powerscore books. I really didn't do that many prep-tests (I think maybe 3-4 in total). I knew I was underprepared.

Now that i'm getting in to this course, which I fully intend on finishing, I'm beginning to wonder who all has been in my shoes before. If anyone has ever done a retake after doing 7sage for the first time, would you mind sharing what type of change in results you experienced? Was it a small jump? A big jump? Did you feel more prepared for the exam? I'm trying to crack 160 with everything in me and i'm putting in as many hours as I can squeeze in to a day and not burn out.

Also if any 160+ people have any tips for cracking 160, please help a sister out!

Thanks everyone!

Hi, i received 170 on the 3rd LSAT last October. As of April i have requested for a deferral for 1 year.

Recently i heard the news that LSAC removed the restriction to take tests for 3 times in a 2year time-frame.

I am planning on working as a paralegal and retaking the LSAT for re-negotiating my scholarship option.

I have two questions and i will greatly appreciate assistance if anyone can give me 2cents.

Is it likely that i may receive higher amount of scholarship from the school i have requested for deferral, assuming that I score higher?

Anyone with an idea of strategy from 170 to 172+? my track record has been 164->170.

I started studying for the September LSAT in May while working 40hrs a week (which I will be doing until the end of August). I feel like I've plateaued with my last 4 tests - 162+/- 1pt and as much as I drill logic reasoning (I average -5 per section), it seems like I always get the same number of questions right. Also, when I drill the question types I have problems with and time myself doing so, I get about 90% of them right.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Would it be better to do a mix of drilling and timed sections instead of full prep tests? Would anyone recommend taking a break? I'm not really sure what to do.

Seriously freaking out because my goal is a 165 and it feels like the September test is really creeping up!

I'm applying after already finishing my MA a few years ago, and am trying to figure out the best approach for letters of rec. I was hoping some of you might have ideas about the questions below!

When academic letters of recommendation are preferred, is there any preference for undergraduate vs. graduate recommenders? Obviously my grad school professors have more recent memories of me, but I finished my grad course work 4 years ago, so it isn't all that recent either.

Since my undergrad professors previously recommended me for grad school, would it be absolutely crazy to ask them to submit and/or adapt the existing letters for law school?

Will it reflect badly if I don't submit an employer recommendation, after having been in the workforce for a few years? I'm certain they'd write me a good letter, but I'm not feeling comfortable disclosing quite yet that I'm applying to law school, since I wouldn't be matriculating for over a year at this point.

Thanks, all!

I finished up a lesson today, and when I checked back on my Syllabus, my lessons were in a completely different order. My intro to reading comp exercises were wayyyy down (and obviously marked completed). I had been following the Study Schedule correctly, but now everything is jacked up. It says I'm still on my 3rd week of exercises, but I know I'm not. Is this happening for anyone?

Should the RC passages all take the same time, or should you expect some to take longer than others as in LG?

Can you wear your watch during the LSAT or does it have to be on your desk?

Thanks!

So i was wondering what the difference between A and D was

The potential free personal statement edit for the webinar got me wondering. What are the potential drawbacks of posting your personal statement online to get advice?

I am not all that worried about my personal statement being exposed as mine, though the possibility could merit some slight censorship of any details about my school or location.

For me, the main concern that I can think of would be that it could be plagarized or that elements could be copied. This might make it less unique. Is that just paranoid? If it is, why do most people try to get edits via swaps rather than posting them?

Are there other drawbacks I am not thinking of? What are they?

A friend of mine who is also studying for the LSAT recommended this supplementary material concerning Flaw Questions to me I so figured I would post it so everyone can enjoy it. I personally struggle with Flaw Questions and this is a book that explains to you what the specific flaw is (ad hominem, appeal to fear, appeal to ignorance, etc...), gives several examples that includes a few lines from a piece of literature, and then gives an illustration. I found this particularity helpful and an enjoyable read. I especially like the use of line of literature, it really helped me visualize the Flaw better. Hope you all can find something useful in it!
