For those of you who record sections or PTs, where do you upload them? I got tired of trying to find space on my measly 11GB phone and upgraded to the GoPro. However, it takes my computer nearly 5 hours to upload just one logic game recording on any cloud service.

Maybe it's my wifi? Do y'all just go to Starbucks or a place with fast wifi to upload? Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!

Hey, 7Sagers! Got a question from a student that I thought you guys could help me out with. Here it is:

I'd love to get your advice.

I've been studying for the LSAT for about 4 months. I've been scoring in the high 150s for my last five practice tests but this past weekend I scored a 169 and then went back down to 157. I took the test I scored a 157 on at home around 9pm (after studying for 4 hours in the afternoon). I took the 169 test the day before, at 10am in the library (no studying beforehand, and the last PT I took before that was 5 days prior)

Is the 157, most likely closer to what my performance will be in September given that it's been closer to my previous tests (158, 159, 159) or is it possible for me to score consistently in the high 160s beforehand.

Also, can you explain the sudden increase from high 150s to high 160s?

I came across this today and I had a good laugh. I wanted to share this with the rest of you to give you a little laugh and some encouragement to keep going!

Personally 19 - 21 are my favourites!

This is a principle question.

I'm actually completely lost on this one.

I thought the principle to be extracted from the stimulus was somewhere along the lines of, in order to gain acceptance for a theory, there needs to be some evidence to support the ideas expounded in the theory.

The reason I thought this was because even though scientists did not find such a force as evidence, new instruments allowed continental movement to be confirmed by observation which I thought acted as evidence.

A) No idea what to make of this or do with this

B) Doesn't do anything to the argument. In this particular theory science has not identified the force, so this answer choice is irrelevant.

C) This I think could be considered irrelevant, this changes the scope of the argument. Measuring instruments appear to make theories harder to work out, what does that have to do with the stimulus? Absolutely nothing.

D) Science is concerned with mass behavior, ok, but what does mass behavior have to do with a force that can make the continents move? Nothing. I think this is irrelevant.

E) This is the correct answer. I can see how this could be correct because there is no explanation for the posited theory, yet the evidence is there/detected.

I guess if someone could explain why A is wrong and why E is correct that would be great. I was really confused with this question.

I ran into this on a Principle question. I diagrammed it as a unless condition, I was not completely sure though and really nervous about it.

Is it the same as either or/or not both? I looked in my notes for the group 1-4 lessons and I didn't find it in there.

Please someone explain to me why B is incorrect and A is correct. I don't understand in the slightest bit and I have read so many explanations but still don't get it. B seems to match the reasoning in the original statement.

Hey guys, I was just wondering if you guys know which Prep Tests have reading comp sections with comparative passages? I want to practice those but I can't seem to find the PT's that have them. Thank you guys in advance.

Hi everyone,

Every Sage that I've heard from talks about discipline and great study habits as being key to success on the LSAT. During a study break, I watched the video below and thought about the discipline and habits that are required to be an Olympian. We probably won't be famous or receive a gold medal for our LSAT scores, but we can learn a lot about the work ethic and positive attitudes that Olympians cultivate.

All the best to you in your continued studies!

Hi,

I'm on my study break and well..... bored.

I figured at this point you've decided that you are going to take it or you aren't sooooo how many people on 7sage are taking the September LSAT? And where? Maybe people can meet up with each other before and/or after the test! On that note, I am taking mine at Brooklyn College (I think?.. I should probably check...).

Oh and 39 more days. Enjoy!

I took the test 2 years ago, but unfortunately didn't score the best to my ability. Even though I scored low, I still had confidence going into the exam. After buying 7sage, my score has increased 8-10 points. It has been consistent the past couple of months, which leads me to believe that I'm ready for September. However, I'm having severe anxiety the close I get towards the test date. Granted, I'm currently moving to a new state, which is adding on a lot of stress because I believe it will interfere with my studying. I still think I'm ready, but I have a fear that I will blank out the day of the test. Anyone else feel this way? Anyone know how to relieve this stress and anxiety?

Hello all! Another question...

Recently I applied to work at a law firm for next summer as an undergraduate student. The lawyer I may be working for is a family friend (we don't know him that well anymore though). Anyways, my question is, as an undergrad, will he want me to show him an official transcript of my marks and everything? During the interview he just asked me how my grades were and I told him and he sort of just left it at that...he has to discuss it with his partner to make sure he's cool with hiring me before he gives me the green light :) I know as an actual law student they want to see your official grades but since I'm not going to be articling and basically just doing jobs there that the lawyers themselves don't have time to do (like reading through some things to figure out what's junk and what's not) do you think I may not even need to show them my official grades? I'm actually wondering because when he asked me I got nervous for some reason (it was early in the interview so I wasn't settled in yet) and I kinda blurted out that I had a couple more A+'s than I actually got in my first year lol and I didn't bother correcting myself at the risk of sounding dumb (Insert laughing emoji).

Am I able to view any questions and logic games explanations w/only the free trial?

I'm wondering how long top scorers usually prepare for. I desperately want to get a score in the 170's and think it's absolutely possible.

I started studying the beginning of June with a diagnostic of 152 and I'm currently sitting around 160, with the majority of lost points coming from RC (getting roughly half wrong). I still feel like I need some time to polish up LG and LR before incorporating RC. I had planned to take in September but I'm about 95% sure I'm going to postpone until December.

I think the progress I've made is pretty good. I've only been studying roughly 2.5 months and I've boosted my score roughly (it fluctuates) 8 points.

How long do most top scorers usually prepare for?

I was not sure about the question sentence...it says "If three subzones in all are designated for retail use and a subzone in Z2 is designated for housing, then which one of the following is allowed?"

But zone1 cannot have R, why it says "If three subzones in all..." I thought it's just impossible...where did I misread the question sentence?

Hi all!

Great advice on here, so I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this siutation. I've heard that LSAC can and does make some common mistakes calculating GPA. I have a fairly high UGPA, but some courses I took in high school bring that down (if only I had known then...). I expected this, but it seems like they brought my GPA down more than I expected. My LSAC gpa is lower than what I calculated on 7Sage LDAS GPA calculator. The two that I'm concerned have been miscalculated are one 2-quarter class where I received a B and B- and another where I received an A- and B+. The first has three credits listed under B and one under C while the other has all four credits listed under B. Everything else looks like I had expected.

This may be correct, but I'm obviously unfamiliar with the process. Does anyone know if this is the correct calculation? Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone has ever noticed a trend with june and september lsats being similar in difficulty? Or that the june lsat is ever in any way similar to the september lsat?

Giving the test this September so just wondered :)

Emailed a professor who I'd really love a letter from but he hasn't responded. Sent the email two weeks ago, should I follow up or just wait another few weeks and see what happens? Don't wanna annoy him, but at the same time I'd like to have him do it now before the semester starts. Not really sure how to proceed, if anyone has been in a similar situation I'd really appreciate some advice. Thanks!

Anyone else think that game was the easiest game, once you recognized that it was a weird pattern game? I've heard many people complain about it but I still don't understand why.

Hi everyone, I have been going back and forth on whether or not to sit for the September LSAT or to wait until December. I was wondering if anyone had any good insight or advice - my diagnostic was a 147, took another PT and got a 147 again. When I look over the sections and see what I'm missing, it is mostly in the LG section, where I only got 7 total points on both PTs. I actually don't finish my LG sections completely either... but the first 20 or so questions I do get to, I miss about 4 or 5. My RC could be better also. I'm worried that doing so poorly indicates that I should not be going into law in general, but I also think attaining a goal score in the 160's is generally possible, any advice? Thanks ahead of time!

I'm having hard time to solve substitution Qs like PT58,S2,Q12 and PT59,S1,Q10.

Is there any effective tactic to crack this kind of the Qs?

Please someone enlighten me.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all. Does anyone have any advice about the deferral process? I'm looking at Top Tier (really top 6) schools and thinking about applying this fall and potentially deferring for a year if I get in. I don't want to put off applying because there's a chance that I may not want to defer. Does anyone know how difficult it is to get a deferral from Harvard, Yale, Columbia etc.?

Hi, So I was wondering what is the best strategy to adopt for bubbling the answers on the answer sheet for the LR section? Is it best to bubble per question, or once you've solved all questions on both the open pages, or after having solved all questions possible in the entire section? This may sound trivial, but I have been experimenting with different strategies and they have a not so insignificant impact on my timing. Just wanted to know what works best for most people and if there is a consensus on which one to follow.

When you see a conditional statement in either the stimulus or the answer choice, do you always translate to the contrapositive to check if it matches your pre-phrase? I noticed that I almost never translate to the contrapositive, and that may be why I get hard sufficient assumption questions wrong. It seems like you HAVE to translate to the contrapositive because that's how the test designers make it more difficult.

A good example is PT73, S2, Q12. The correct answer as well as the most tempting have to be translated to the contrapositive to fill the gap, and the translation also gets at the nuance in their differences.

What does everyone think?

I have been studying since June and I am now seeing some big score improvements.

The problem is that I go back to school in early September and whilst I was planning on taking the December exam, I am afraid that I won't be able to devote much time for the LSAT during the school year. I am afraid of actually becoming worse at the LSAT because I won't be able to devote much time for the test.

The deadline for late registration for the Sep exam is tomorrow :( (eek)

Should I study hard during the next month and take the September LSAT or postpone till December or February? Or try my best to study for the LSAT during the shcool year and take a shot at the December exam?

Any advice will be deeply appreciated!

thank you!

Hi, just wondering...

And would like to hear from someone who did old games...

Do you think if we do more old games, it helps to solve those irregular newer games? :(

If so, from which PT to which PT would you suggest to do??

Thanks in advance!
