Hi guys,

do you guys notice any trends in your PT scores from 60s to 70s in different sections?

Hi all,

The logic game section has been the hardest section for me. As soon as I realized LG kept me from reaching 170+, I have been drilling TONs of games for the past several months. I've done drilling every single game from 1-40 for 6 times + almost all sections in 40s, all sections in 50s, and some sections in 60s (I guess that's about 1500 games). I also analyzed my mistakes by creating review notes.

So now I can finish any game and usually have 5-6minutes left after filling in the bubbles. But the problem is I constantly miss 3-4 questions... The worst part is that the questions that I miss are those that I answered with great confidence. I've thought about redoing questions after finishing the section but I think it's a very risky strategy since I can't expect I would have 5-6minutes left on the test day. Also, because I am certain that I have answered all questions correctly, I don't even know which questions I want to re-do and check my work...I have only one month left till the test day and it's really frustrating...

Does anyone have advice...?

Thanks so much!!!

Hey guys I'm having a hard time with this one

For anyone who is willing to try it out can you show me how you diagrammed it and came to choosing A over the others.

Thanks in advance!!

For this question, I was able to see that the flaw was a equivocation between a substantial budget and an adequate one. Answer choice E seemed to reflect that train of thought, but I didn't find the wording to be clear. In particular, the answer choice mentions that the meaning of "adequate" needs to be reevaluated in the new context. Wasn't the word adequate brought up only in the conclusion? Where has the stimulus evaluated the use of adequate prior to the conclusion? Additionally, would the "new context" be the during the dissolving of the Soviet threat of confrontation?

Hi,

When you do LG do you always have complete, perfect diagram like JY's?

I found I often have diagrams that are incomplete...very similar to JY's but did not have enough inference or did not divide into sub game boards etc.

Does this happen to you or am I just not mature enough on LG yet?

Thanks

Hey! I am currently working on my personal statement and would love some feedback. I am also more than happy to take a look at yours too and do a little switcha-roo!

Am I the only one who from time to time wishes it could just be a research paper....lol

What is the consensus on talking about things not explicitly mentioned in your application? In a discussion about social justice, I have a sentence that goes something along the lines of:

"... I have always been inclined to help when I can. For instance, I spent a year as an ****** at *******, I have grown up serving food at ******, and I have helped organize a demonstration on campus to...."

I have listed the first under the extra-curricular section of my application, but the other two have not been mentioned because (a) I don't have a contact for the second one because I don't go on a consistent basis, and (b) there is not a relevant place for me to mention the third one. Should I just leave these two out, or are they worth keeping in there? If it helps, it is part of a larger discussion about why I want to be a lawyer, and less about listing off my accomplishments.

For this particular problem, I wasn't able to clearly articulate why answer choice C was incorrect. I interpreted the conclusion to be a causal one, specifically one that claims that the author's political party is responsible for the decrease in unemployment. I do see how the premises contradict the observation that unemployment decreased, but I'm not sure why answer choice C is incorrect. I saw answer choice C as providing an alternate cause and showed how the perceived changes in employment is not due to the author's party but rather seasonal fluctuations.

Hey All,

Can someone explain this question to me? I got to E by POE, but I am not completely seeing why E is correct.

Conclusion: "There is no genuinely altruistic behavior."

The reason for this (the conclusion) is because behavior that appears to be altruistic is actually self-interested. Shouldn't E read: "takes for granted that any behavior that can be interpreted as altruistic is in fact self-interested"? Where does "interpretation of self-interested behavior come in?"

This implies that we are supposed to treat altruistic behavior and self-interested behavior as synonymous, but isn't that out of the scope? Or at least premature with the information we are given? All this argument establishes in terms of the relationship between altruism and self interest is that altruistic behavior implies self-interested behavior. We're not saying self-interested behavior implies altruistic behavior, correct? I'm confused why E treats them as synonymous terms of the argument.

Got to keep y'all on your toes. And I know it's sad that PT 79 hasn't been released yet, but...

Yes, I picked this PT just by putting my favorite number twice. Sometimes decisions are that easy. Like Sufficient Assumption questions should be. I may not be on for the call (my silly boss decided to schedule a working retreat on a weekend). But the Saturday group practically runs itself and @"Cant Get Right" or I should be on hand to kick it off!

Note:

Please check. It seems that such application errors are prevalent after the version updates to the iOS 10.

My cumulative GPA is blank - my degree summary GPA is 4.0 - any idea why that is?

Hey Gang,

LSAT can knock you down sometimes. When that happens there’s only one thing left to do.

Hey guys! Hope studying is going well! Recently, since starting 7sage a month ago, I've been making pretty solid progress in terms of going through the curriculum. I aiming for 15-20 hours a week. However, I'm also in school full time, and I have an internship so I've found myself burning out, but not so much because of the studying, but because everything else has been piling up. My study time has decreased a lot. Also, I have fall allergies and I live in the NYC area so it has started to get cold. This has affected my energy levels, and on top of everything else, I find myself fatigued and unable to focus which also lowers my productivity effectiveness while studying. I'm not good when it comes to time management and routines and it's hard for me to stick to them. Any help or tips on how you guys do it? Very interested in your suggestions! Thanks!

Hello friends. I am eyeballs deep in 1L. I just wanted to pop in and say that:

1) Law school is insane but insanely beautiful

2) Enjoy your life before law school (see #1)

Law school is all consuming but I often think of you all with the warmest of feelings. This is helpful as an alternative heat source as it is getting cold in Chicago.

Hi.

Just joined the 7Sage.

I am from India. Currently in my second year of undergraduate studies. Would it be a wise option to pursue law in the US after my undergraduate?

Any help regarding this would be appreciated.

Dumb question....I know, but it eases my anxiety :D Will 7sage still be around in 3 years when I need to study for the LSAT??? This forum is so awesome and everyone says the prep course is so amazing so I just reallllllllly want to be able to use it when I study:)

Hello Sages,

I just joined the community quite recently and this is my first post. That being said, I had been PTing using the practice tests from the 40s to the 70s, with just a few more new ones available and with some of them done more than once. I found I have been very inconsistent in the scores I get. I can get low 170s and on the next one go down to low 160s, and when I get low 160s I often bomb different sections, sometimes RC and sometimes LG. Anyone had similar situations? What would be a good way to become more consistent. I registered for the December test, and I'm planning to apply next year. What should I do before the test at this stage. Any advice from you Sages would be greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone,

I'm sort of cramming law school apps, since July is when I decided that I wanted to apply. I started using 7Sage in August.

In the beginning, I was about -3 or -4 per LR section, even with flexible timing. With JY's videos, he has helped me to master LR. On my last PT (I think it was # 61) I went -0 and -1 on the two LR sections, with time left over to spare.

I actually enjoy doing LR now. Every question is like a mini word puzzle :)

Thanks 7sage,

Steve

Hi everyone,

My undergrad institution has a co-op program that most undergrads take part in. Starting in sophomore year you have the option to alternate between 6 months of full-time work and then a regular academic semester. So my undergrad career was 5 years, and for 3 of those years I was on co-op January-July then class as normal from Sept.-December.

These gaps are shown on my transcript and reflected on my resume. Will admissions understand this plainly? Or should I write an addendum explaining

My personal statement is 3.5 pages long. Is that too long?

How early is too early to get a REC letter. I got one assuming I would be applying early but I am retaking the the LSAT in February. I have a REC on file from late October. Should I get the Professor to resubmit so the time stamp is sooner or keep and use the ones on file. This is all assuming I apply for the Fall 2017 class. Obviously if I delay 1 year I will ask for resubmissions. On that note do new REC letters have to be different in anyway from ones that are on file.....as in can school see the old ones that I have on file with LSAC. Was just going to ask the teachers to resubmit the old ones they previously wrote to save time on both ends.

Admin edit: Please don't post in all caps on your title. I'm sensitive and don't like being yelled at. :c

I'm usually around -6 or -8 for timed sections. Just got a -10 and am beginning to get frustrated because i feel like I understand games pretty well, but then do terrible on the clock. I also basically never ever experience test anxiety (when studying or on test day) - so "pressure" doesn't seem, to me, to be the issue.

anyone else have similar experience? or would anyone have some advice?

thanks
