Hey Guys,

I was wondering if anybody familiar with testing accommodations could answer a question. I was wondering if you guys think I will get extra time. I have something called Raynaud's Disease. Long story short, when I get nervous, due to Raynaud's, my hands and feet get numb cold. I can barely move them. I also get extremely short of breath. I am writing to LSAC saying that I have difficulty moving my hands and breathing. I genuinely cannot turn pages or bubble answers quickly. I also have the medical test that proves I have the disease. Do you guys think that this will qualify for extra time? I took the sept 2016 lsat, before I was diagnosed. I have never gotten extra time before on anything; I just got this diagnosis in December.

Study buddy wanted

Hi! I'm looking for a study buddy in the GTA (toronto) area to blind review and keep each other motivated. I'm taking the June LSAT. Message if you're interested

It would be better if I can see which section has the live commentary video. It really helps me a lot with timing and real strategy, but it is hard to find them. Some sections have it, but some don't.

What is a Blind Review Call? Why have I heard about it from Sages and other community members saying that it expanded their knowledge of the test elevating their score bands while surprisingly providing a place to build friendships that have lasted beyond their LSAT prep into Law School?

Vanessa and I are here to answer your questions with an interactive experience Thursday night, Feb 16 @7pm EST.

Answering some of the most common questions –

  • When in my PT prep should I join?
  • What do I need to do to prepare for the BR call?
  • What questions are discussed and how are they determined?
  • What if I can’t make it on time?
  • How long do they last?
  • Why to not be intimidated to join the discussion and voice your reasoning?
  • Why on occasion do we use a whiteboard app?
  • What to do if still not completely understanding a question?
  • Do Sages actually join the calls to provide insight when available?
  • Most importantly, for the people who are involved in the BR calls, will opportunities be available for intensives and workshops based on the needs of the people participating?
  • BR Calls provide a challenging experience to verbally explain your thought process on any given question – whether it was tough and need another person’s perspective to find that “AHA” moment or to share with someone that is struggling to be able to “really get it” so they won’t make the same error of reasoning in the future. We all have different strengths/weaknesses and learn so much from each other.

    To make it a truly interactive experience, please post any LR question up to PT49 for us to be able to provide examples of how the process works!

    The last 3 words of the conclusion states "such as diatoms." Doesn't that only mean that some of the Antarctic algae COULD be diatoms? Or is that stating that diatoms were in fact a large portion of the Antarctic algae? I hesitated on answer choice D because if diatoms weren't the only type of Antarctic algae then this answer choice isn't as relevant. Thanks for any input.

    Hey guys,

    I just signed up for 7sage but I've been studying for the june lsat for about 3 months now, around 10-15 hours a week. I've gone from low 150's high 140's starting out to averaging 163 over my last 4 preptests. My question is what do you guys continue to work on as your scores improve? I signed up for 7sage for the test analytics and as a way to get a new twist on areas of the test I struggle at the most. Any ideas on how to "max myself out"? I'm currently working on my weakest areas which are LR assumption questions and flaw questions.

    What I'm doing right now is trying to go through old preptests I've taken and ace individual timed sections, 35 for LR and RC but 30 for LG, taking at least one test a week. I've taken close to 20 tests. I have yet to actually ace anything but I do -1 to -2 on LG and RC a fair amount but can't seem to crack around -5 on LR. The more tests I take the more I realize you can struggle in 1 section with a -5 but if you can 0 or -2 a couple sections it is huge for high scores.

    Hopefully, this isn't to incoherent. I just really want a 170 score and want to spend my remaining 5 months getting as prepped as possible.

    So I am currently working on incorporating the memory method into RC and have had mixed results. I'm losing a lot of time on the questions portion. When y'all go through the AC's, once you find the correct one do you then skip the rest of the AC's or read the rest just in case?

    I'm early on in the process but I'm ranging from 30 secs over to hitting 5:09 on the questions. Just want to see how everyone else is doing it.

    Hi all,

    I apologize in advance if these are silly questions. What is the difference between drilling and taking a full Prep Test? How do you know which you need to do more of? Is drilling more for the days you get off work & school and are totally wiped out, so save the full PT for the weekend? Is drilling better for the older PTs? or? I am currently still in the Core Curriculum but I wanted to clarify my understanding before I finished the curriculum and started regularly doing PTs.

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello, all!

    After personal reasons forced me to step away from the LSAT for some time, I'm just now getting back into the swing of things. What was clear to me back then is not as clear to me now. Thus, I must ask: why can't we infer "B most A" from the statement "A most B"? Perhaps what I'm struggling most to grasp is this: what does one assume in making this erroneous inference?

    Thank you all for your time!

    Can I get some feedback on law school in Florida and what you guys think? I'm considering UF's law school and FIU but I'm open to all other options as well. FSU is a great school as well. But what benefits would I have picking one over the other? There are many factors to consider but can someone jump in and throw their two cents of knowledge. All feedbacks are welcome!

    Hi all,

    Blind reviewing the aforementioned Prep Test and having trouble with PT.63.S.1.Q.10. I almost never have these kinds of very basic questions below (i.e., what exactly is the conclusion?) But bear with me, I found this problem sneaky.

    "Thus, Ms. Sandstrom should pay for this damage if, as the Mendelssohn claim, she could have reasonably expected that the column would lead people to damage the Mendel's farm."

    Is this entire last sentence of the stimulus the conclusion? Or is the conclusion only the first clause: "Thus, Ms. Sandstrom should pay for the damage"? Does that have something to do with why A is the right answer?

    Why is D incorrect?

    Note: I've already watched JY's explanation videos but would appreciate if someone could thoroughly break the stimulus down and answer the 2 questions I have above. Thank you SO much in advance!

    Hi Guys,

    I am having a bit of difficulty with this question.

    https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/banana-epidemics-na-question/

    https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-34-section-3-question-03/

    It's the banana question.

    I have a hard time distinguish B. I mean, it is a sufficient assumption, yet it is the correct answer for the necessary assumption too.

    I am feeling a bit, how do you call it, mumble jumble right now.

    Can any one help to explain?

    Hi guys,

    I was wondering if you wondered the same thing when you entered into this lesson question:

    https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/regulating-the-banks-na-question/

    https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-30-section-2-question-15/

    Is it correct if I translate the argument into a logic as:

    Tightening-->Loan Less-->Economic Downturn

    Tightening

    Conclusion: Economic downturn

    Aside of this logical flaw, the problem is wrong due to temporal causation flaw.

    Am I correct about this?

    If so, I guess you can still generate answer choice if the argument is bad as a start even logically invalid?

    Thanks,

    Panda

    My LR score recently improved from consistent -8,6 to -3,2

    At this period, focusing on specific question types in detail really helped

    However, ever since my score improved to -3 range I stopped seeing any pattern in questions that I miss

    and I am actually amazed by the fact that its almost always 3 questions wrong per section no matter what type it is.

    (as if I am destined to miss 3...)

    Would there be an advice on closing the gap from -3 to perhaps 0?

    I took a cold kaplan PT and got a 134 (i know its not a real LSAT exam now) so I started study with 7sage for 6 months and took another PT. I got a 149 w/o a bubble sheet and a 143 with. For the last 5 exams Ive been suck between 146-148 and feel horrible after each PT. I tried BR but I found looking over the answer's I got wrong on the computer without knowing which AC I got wrong was more helpful. I don't know what to do. Any advice? I hope to get a 160

    Hi all,

    As JY has mentioned in many of his videos we should be expecting a "weird game" on the new LSATs, and if it doesn't appear, it's an added bonus.

    That being said, where could I find a list of "weird games" to practice?

    Also, have the "weird games" on the recent LSATs (PT's in the late 70's and early 80's) been similar to any other games you have seen in the past?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello everyone, this may sound or seem like a dumb questions, but where do I find: All PrepTests in Starter (36 - 44) are now viewable and printable as DRM protected e-docs? And what does DRM mean? Thanks.
