Heyyy 7sagers,

I have literally looked at 7sage, LSAT Trainer, and Kaplan's approach to necessary assumption questions and I just don't get it.

I have been drilling these questions down and I still have trouble with them. It takes me super long to get the answer if I somehow do even get them correct.

What has worked for y'all? I can use all the help I can get.

When I studied for my nursing boards I would use NCLEX books as I went along and go over my week points. I never did a full test until I went to Kaplan. Should I take the same approach with the LSAT since I am not taking them until June 2018. I bought the Kaplan book and have a few others hoping if I learn the concepts then I can start taking the practice tests later on.

I have started to consider taking the GRE after receiving my September LSAT score and consistently getting similar scores on practice tests I have recently taken. I have had difficulty improving on the logical reasoning portion of the test so it was no surprise that I scored a 145. Based on a high GRE practice test score, which I took before reviewing any material, I feel that I could score in a higher percentile than I would if I were to retake the LSAT. However, could the presence of a very low LSAT score on my application overshadow my potentially high GRE score and a 3.8 gpa?

while i agree AC b is incorrect...still seems to be a perfectly valid argument to me....anyone care to parse this one with me?

validity of answer choice B

Has anyone received accommodations for a specific date and then decided to postpone? I don't know if I will be approved yet, but I am strongly considering postponing until June. I just don't know if the accommodations will automatically cary over to the June test, or if I will have to apply again.

Since I have to start writing my own LOR for an old boss I went to the internet to look for some samples and found this site that I thought was pretty helpful. Wanted to share it in case others are in the same predicament as moi:

How do I determine goal time per game during foolproofing? JY sometimes mentions them in his explanation videos, but when he doesn't should I just assume it's ~8.5?

Even better, does someone have a spreadsheet of these?

The whole argument is about SSH mechanism.But I think there is a huge mistake.All the author wants to prove is that the SSH is an independent factor affecting bird's status.And he did it.The question is that if a juvenile male bird with higher SSH confronts an adult male bird with lower SSH,who will win?And according to author, this question cannot be answered,because these factors are independent.So how can the SSH mechanism achieves its goal that it can reduce the conflicts?

Just wanted to get your opinions on what PTs I should do.

So I took the September exam (cancelled). and to prepare for the September exam, I used PTs from 50s to 70s (I have a couple of PT in 70s that I haven't done, only a couple). Now I am taking December LSAT and have been doing PT's in 30s and 40s because these are the ones I haven't done when I was prepping for my September LSAT.

For the last month, should I just redo some PT's in 50-70s instead of going for older PTs that I haven't done yet?

I am finding older PTs to be pretty different from the recent ones, so I am thinking it would be better to redo the recent ones.

Hey all,

I was wondering what you all thought of this. My GPA and LSAT makes me competitive at a few schools - not a shoe-in but pretty dang competitive. Specifically, I'm thinking of sending a round of applications out to Georgetown and Cornell as soon as my letters of rec are completed (in 1 week). I'm really really confident in my letters and my personal statement. I'm slated to take the December exam to make me competitive for higher ranked schools, but I kinda wanna just submit some apps now so I can hear back from some places earlier than February.

Should I do it?

would AC e be a close second....i seem to have glossed over d and missed it choosing e realizing my folly on BR. But isn't e another version of d so plausible in the absence of d..

what would you reckon??

So...how did you guys decided what to write about? The obvious choice for me is to write about the military, but that feels like such a cop out. I've tried to brainstorm other, more interesting ideas, but I'm basically the king of boring town. How did you get the juices flowing?

Hey everyone,

I was wondering when you suggested asking for letters of rec from professors? I don't want to ask too early as I'm taking classes with both of them right now and am using it as an opportunity to try and impress but I also don't want to wait too long and have them take too long to write. I'm taking the LSAT in December and hoping to send my apps right after we get those scores back.

Thoughts?

It's now available for pre-order on Amazon.

I am a senior at an "average" college, and I have a 3.99 GPA. I am a transfer student, so my combined GPA is a 3.8. I am aiming for a 170 on the LSAT, but I wouldn't be surprised if I wound up closer to a 165. Anyway, I am concerned that I won't get into schools that look for decently high LSAT scores unless I score well above the median score... like maybe I will need the 75th percentile score to get in without scholarship. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this issue or if anyone has any thoughts on it.

Hey Folks,

I made the classic mistake of not sticking to my schedule and fell behind my LSAT prep. At this point I’ve taken 3 PTs and have done progressively better but still have a ways to go before I reach my target score. I’ve covered the fundamentals of LR and LG. Any tips on how to finish strong over the next month?

I’m done with the LSAT and I sold my powerscore and lsat trainer through the pre law society Facebook page of my undergrad. Haven’t been able to find somewhere to sell my LSAC prep tests and those “10 actual official” books

Hi everyone, so with the long LR drills from test 70-79. Do any of you time them? or do you just do these questions free form to further understand things.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I can't believe I missed the date to register. I honestly thought I had longer. I have no idea why. I am kicking myself. I can't talk to my family, or they are going to judge me for not marking my calendar. I am venting. February test here I come, and it looks like I will put off entrance until 2019. Good grief. I guess that'll give me some more time to save some money, and my kids will be a bit older also. I am so angry at myself.

hello!

there used to be filtering options in the blind review pages, like there are in the question bank. it was very useful when sorting the questions according to difficulties etc when just looking at a section.

it's been gone and i assumed it was a bug or it was temporarily disabled for updates and such, but it's been gone for a while now. is this an intended change? would be nice to have it back!

bonus: the passage above provides most support for which of the following?

a) at least some of the 7sage users miss the feature :)

b) my cat likes to drink milk

c) all Jedi use the Force

d) everybody dance now

e) give me the music

Hi everyone,

My biggest issue right now is not freaking out while taking timed prep tests and I'm stuck on how to get over this feeling. I'm BRing in the 170s, so I know that I know the curriculum and that's not the issue. But every time I sit down to take a prep test and I start the timer, I feel my heart racing, I start panicking and I just fly through the questions to get to the end, and it's really impacting how well I'm doing on the timed sections.

I'm not sure what to do to calm my nerves. I've tried doing breathing exercises before sitting down to take a test but it doesn't seem to help.

Any advice would be helpful!

I decided to change my test date from December to February today and will need more material to study for the next 3 months. I haven't decided if I will be applying for Fall of 2018 or Fall of 2019 entrance; it depends on my PT scores for the next couple of months.

I'm on a very tight budget, but I feel that the Starter package may not be enough to help me ready.

I took the September LSAT (low 150s) and underperformed as compared to my PT scores. I'm aiming to obtain a score in the high 160s or low 170s. Any suggestions?

I just wanted to give my quick thoughts on the LSAC forum I attended.

1.) Many of the schools were giving out fee waivers (didn't apply to me since I'm applying next cycle) but for the most part it seemed like most were giving them out.

2.) The seminars that I attended were quite informative:

I went to the Forum 101 and What do Lawyers do ones and both had very generous Q&A's. The 101 one had a couple of Admissions people running it so it was quite nice to ask specific questions that you may not be able to ask otherwise. The Lawyer one had about 6 attorneys working it, most of them practiced different disciplines of law so they brought a wide perspective. Again, there was a nice Q&A and they also stayed afterwards in the hall to talk to us (this was fantastic since there was an M&A attorney that I got to chat with).

3.) A lot of heavy hitter admissions/deans were at the booths. As mentioned in another thread, great way to network and setup a contact within the law school you are targeting.

Overall, definitely worth the time if you are applying the same cycle or if you have never been to one. If you have already done a lot of your homework on your target schools, it may be redundant. I was in the latter but I still walked away with some new knowledge. Hope this helps.

Has anyone ever had a "student conduct" violation on their record that gave them issue while applying to law school?

When I was a freshman I violated my UG's Alcohol policy and got written up for it and I'm worried it's going to hurt my chances. I requested a student record to confirm that the violation is listed. It's the only "mark" on my record.

Hey all. So I love the 7sage community. But. I think I would do better with a human on some LR questions to really understand the reasoning and where I'm going wrong. Sept test showed me I've not fully grasped LR which may have been fine if I hadn't bombed RC. I plan on taking again in June after seeing so many ask, what's the rush in applying? I'm shooting for a 170, which I'm 100% convinced I can achieve if I can blow LR away. Games are a breeze now and RC and I are in couple's counselling, so it's just the two-section doozy I'm dealing with at the moment. Thoughts on enrolling in a class versus getting a great yet affordable tutor? How can I maximize my time? Thanks everyone!
