Hello all,

I've seen the word modality thrown around a lot in discussions. As related to the LSAT, and in everyday English, what is modality? Examples are welcome! Thanks in advance.

I am finishing up my law school resume and wondering if it is entirely necessary to put how many hours per week that position was? I feel like it would be helpful for the reader, but it makes the Resume look cluttered and not as clean.

Additionally, Do I have to put the month of the year that I started the position? Or is the year sufficient? Due to formatting, I would have to completely redo my resume if I put the month of the year, but if it is necessary I am absolutely willing to do so. Thoughts?

Thank you 7Sage community! Oh how I wish I could have find you all before I paid $1000 for an in person prep course...

So this section is by far my worst... I think the timing aspect is really killing me, any ideas on how to improve, or how perhaps you've seen gains within this section?

I've been averaging about 8-12 correct per section (I know, it's pretty bad) but after BR I usually get about 5-7 more answers correct. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Admin edit: Ahh! No full-caps in titles, please. I'm a very timid admin and I don't like being yelled at. ):

As you all know, many law school offer the options to do early decision, essentially meaning if you get in, you have to go there and you have to withdraw your apps from other schools. I have 2 questions on this I was hoping you guys could help me with.

1) Early decision increases your chance to get into that law school, correct?

2) A big decision on which law school to go to is scholarships. If I wanted to go to Harvard hypothetically, and did early decision there and I got in, but they offered me no scholarship, while I at the same time got into Standford and they offered me 50% tuition scholarships, I would for the most part go to Standford. Would I still be binded to go to Harvard even though I got no scholarship? Or would I be able to say something like hey Harvard I got 50% scholarship at Stanford so if you dont match that I do not have to go to your school?

Hey I just purchased the Ultimate pack for 7sage. I have a question about the schedule.

Is there a document that shows what we need to do week by week?

cause what i see is just a list of the topics and tests

Thanks.

Hey everyone,

I am waiting for my December LSAT score and i just registered for the February LSAT just in case i don't get my target score. I've already applied to schools this cycle and they are all waiting for my december results. This question might be premature since I might have done well on my December LSAT but do you believe one can improve with only one month of studying? I would start studying after my score comes out if I fall short, which gives me January to February. I've finished the core curriculum. I think my main weakness may be the logic games section this past test. I genuinely have no clue what i got on that section but i'll be happy with a 70%. I felt like i was guessing a lot even though i felt adequately prepared for the logic games section and was looking forward to it after my 15 minute break. I honestly can't explain what went wrong. I did take a few days off of studying before my December test and i'm wondering if that had something to do with it. Generally, it's the RC section that gives me trouble. FYI, I have consistently scored my target score during practice tests, so I felt ready to write in December and i wasn't nervous or tired during test day. LG might have gone horribly wrong, i just don't know.

Hello, seen from old posts from the past but I'm curious what you guys frequenting the forums now think about studying and music.

I probably listen to music 1-5% of the time while studying, mostly just when I'm pounding away at games. I don't think I could listen to music when I'm doing LR or RC.

Its hard for me to work in silence for too long. When I do listen to music I feel like I can get more work overall in. In undergrad I almost never studied without blasting music and this helped me pretty consistently pull off 6- 8-10-12 hr days most days of the semester in undergrad. My work consisted mostly of reading though so I never found lyrics and loudness to be distracting.

Thoughts?

Nothing much to say here except that after a grueling month and a half of study, I finally broke the 170 barrier! Here's hoping it wasn't a freak accident and I can keep it up. I'm taking the February LSAT and I'm starting to feel pretty confident!!

Whenever I take a PT I find that there are about 25 questions (on the entire test total) that I'm unable to get to or finish while timed. My total number of questions wrong is much lower than that, and when I do these questions untimed I have no problem answering them. What are some techniques that some of you used to finish the section within the allotted time without compromising on accuracy?

Hello, would like to hear from other students as well...

So I'm thinking to visit the schools that I would like to apply.

Would it be helpful to talk to admission people there or can it actually hurt?

I do not want to give negative images and thought if so I would rather not visiting them...

In which case it can hurt application and in which case it can be helpful?

What questions would you ask them and what questions would you avoid?

Thank you!

Sorry for the click-bait title.. But I was wondering if anyone has taken a test and went ahead and registered for the next test while they waited for their test results?

To be more specific: I have just taken this December 2016 LSAT, and I am thinking of registering for the February 2017 LSAT because I want to enroll in law school fall 2017. I know if I took prep-tests all throughout this month and next month then I will be set for confidently scoring high enough to get into Emory with my GPA and resume. I just froze on the logic games portion on the December test because I forgot how to set-up the game board for two games.. I didn't have enough time or energy to practice the foul-proof method during the semester, so I'm beating myself up for that... However, now that I am on Christmas break and done with the 10-hr internship plus work 25 hours a week and five classes, I have SOOOOO much more free-time and focus. With my schedule it took me 5-7 damn months to finish the freaking 3 month curriculum because I took my time with learning everything (even though I watched everything on 2x+), and I honestly didn't have enough time to take like any practice tests, BUT when I did a blind review with my friend I was getting everything right, and I passed out and woke up and took the LSAT the next day (sounds horrible I know).

I need at least a 165, and I have talked to Emory officials, and they stated that they only look at the highest LSAT score. So with that being said, would y'all recommend me registering for the Feb exam and taking serious practice tests until Jan 4th when the scores are released..? I also talked to an LSAT official, and they said they would refund my entire $180 if I emailed them my situation that I am content with my December score. IDK, IDK WHY I AM SO LOST.... I get anxiety when I see everyone set and here I am all late n'shit. I haven't even started my application process or anything.........fjdngdjf;s

Thanks in advance for responding. <3

Sometimes in your LSAT prep you may feel demoralized or unmotivated, but remember you are determined, fierce....

the real deal...

and with hard work you can slay this test.

Hi guys

So I am reluctantly applying for accommodations for February. Three years ago I began exhibiting symptoms of OCD and I've been receiving treatment for it ever since. I took the December exam, but didn't apply mostly because I was really anxious about it, and also because after reading up on the accommodations online I realy didn't think that I would get approved. I am registered with my university's program for accommodations, but I haven't had to use them. This is mostly because my condition was diagnosed only a year ago and I've taken very few classes since then. I have been approved for extra time if needed by the university, but I just didn't feel like I needed it in the past. Well that changed in December. During the break I had a minor anxiety attack. I felt like I couldn't read when I opened up the first section...lol, and my OCD was off the charts. I think it's just because I've never taken an exam that has been this stressful. The LSAT triggers anxiety for most people, and having an actual anxiety disorder made this experience horrible. I want to see if I can get approved for February so I have a fair shot at actually finishing the exam without losing control of my mind. Basically wondering if anyone with a similar condition was approved and, if so, any recommendations for documents I should send in with my request. Just filling out the form right now and I'm hopeful I'll get approved without an extensive history of accommodations.

Thanks guys :)

Also for everyone recovering from December, how are you picking back up and studying for Feb? I took a week off (not really I had to submit my final thesis for my undergrad), and now I'm going to start with some LR questions to warm up. Maybe I'll do a PT in a week or so to see where I'm at.

I took my first LSAT, this December. I am staying optimistist about the result, hoping I will score enough to get into the school I will me applying. But then again, there is always a chance I might have to take it again. I decided not to mess with February since, I want to take a break and on top of that, I don't think I can improve my score substantially. Wondering, what do you guys do while waiting for the results?

The dude

I did not, and I am regretting it. My last section was LG, and I was feeling pretty defeated.

Hey guys so Im planning on sending LSAC my transcripts so i just wanted to clarify something. IF I directly order a transcript from my CC and university that I attended, do i still need the transcript request forms? I was planning on just going to my CC and requesting them to send in my transcripts. And then just order my transcripts to be sent from my university as well. I'm just not sure if I still need the transfer request forms or not? Thanks!

Need advice on whether to keep this December score or apply with a February score alone for this cycle.

Took the test for the first time on December 3 but it did not go well, partly for physical reasons. Was not a complete and unmitigated disaster but was not close to target, for sure.

Applying this cycle. The December score can likely (though not 100% guaranteed, we can only estimate our score roughly of course) get me into most of the schools I have already applied to earlier in the fall in Canada (they are just waiting for the December score to come out), but I am also applying to T6 in the US using my February score, which I know will be higher.

All schools (in both countries) I am applying to will look at February score (with the exception of certain T6 schools we know who they are), but for half of them it will put me at a disadvantage because of late completion of the file, and the other half not.

I am debating between 1) keeping my December score and get in somewhere first but leaving a low score on my record, or 2) cancel December and just use February alone.

The chief advantage for 1) is I will likely have a few offers before March, perhaps even in January, and ultimately I guess it is the higher score that counts. The good thing for 2) is that there will be no record of a low score, and I tend to think that "cancellation & 172+" will look better than "something in the 'what's going on' range & 172+" to T6 when the February score comes out in early March.

(And needless to say, if my PT is not at 172+ by the February test date, I will just not apply to T6 this cycle. My GPA is around T6 median, and softs in their range too.)

Thank you!

Hello all,

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the difference between a necessary and sufficient "switch" in a flaw question (i.e., a conditional reasoning logical fallacy.) In the LSAT trainer it mentions on pg. 101 that a flaw that mistakes sufficient for necessary is one type of flaw (I.e., it mistakes one way for the only way.) I understand this.

It then goes on to state, however, that "You may notice that this is the 'mirror flaw' of mistaking necessary for sufficient, which we discussed in the last lesson."

I guess my question is: What exactly is the difference between mistaking (necessary for sufficient) and mistaking (sufficient for necessary)? Any examples would be helpful.

Hi all,

I wanted to see how many of you would be interested in a study group for all us parents. More like a study/support group as being a parent while studying for the LSAT presents its own unique set of challenges. I think we can learn from each other as we go through this process together.

Let me know!

For those who have taken the LSAT, can I view my answer sheet along with the correct answers? I did a lot of erasing, which might make a fake-wrong answer. I see the portion of LSAC that shows PDF's after the LSAT is taken. Can I view it there?

Long story short - I took a years worth of a challenging foreign language as a requirement to graduate with my second major of choice. My GPA suffered as a result. Should I explain this in an addendum or will the Admissions Committee review my transcripts and disregard it since its a foreign language and has little to do with my ability to succeed in law school? If I should write an addendum, how should I go about it without sounding like a whiner/arrogant?

Additionally, I took the LSAT more than once and plan on writing an addendum for my LSAT score. Should I keep the two addenda separate and attach two separate addenda or upload it as one file, on two separate pages?

Thanks! :)
