Is it possible for you to take an LSAT that has a real section that you have done as an experimental on a previous take?

I usually get 6-7 wrong per LR section in late PT50s or early 60s. Yet, when I did PT40s(PT42), I got 10 wrong per section. I felt lost and confused. Should I review the CC before doing more timed section or PT?

So I have been Blind Reviewing for the past two weeks since I am new to 7sage. Before i used Blueprint as well as The LSAT Trainer but heard very good things about 7sage. Anyways I was wondering if anyone else second guesses themselves when they are Blind Reviewing. For many questions I am getting wrong that i Blind Reviewed because I wasn't 100% sure if it was correct i end up second guessing myself and chose a wrong answer when the correct answer was my original answer if that makes sense lol. Let me know if this is happening to you as well and any tips?

Hello fellow 7Sagers,

A thought struck me this morning and I wanted to share it with you guys. Correct me if I am wrong, but I remember JY Ping saying that the difficulty of questions (Easy, Easier, Medium, Hard, Very Hard) are based on the data of 7Sagers who take the preptests. If enrolled members adhere to the order of taking the exams from older to more recent, and in the process of doing so, it is reasonable to assume that their logical skills are improving and hence their accuracy, then doesn't that eschew the representative difficulty of questions on the more recent tests (i.e. 50s, 60s, and 70s)?

I would very much appreciate if someone, with the appropriate knowledge of this, could clarify or correct my misconceptions. Thank you.

So....

I JUST SUBMITTED MY APPLICATIONS..... except for UT Law because they warned me in advance to wait until closer to deadline to submit since my February score will be coming in then.

Anyway, how does the process work normally and how long will it take for them to respond upon receipt of my February LSAT score? Do we get e-mail notifications from the school or does the LSAC let us know?

For real. Don't do it. Every so often I come across people who've made the conscious decision to take on the LSAT and are failing miserably at understanding fundamental concepts because they're too focused on searching for a shortcut to hone down the material. Cut it out. The LSAT will challenge every ounce of knowledge you possess. It will humble you and make you feel defeated. Get back up and really try to understand and learn what you're playing with. You have to develop an appreciation for the beast. The skills learned to get good at the LSAT aren't useless. Realize what you are implementing to achieve a high score will give you an astronomical advantage in Law School whether it's discipline in sticking through reading dense material (love you too, RC), scoping out a main argument or discrepancy in a piece of writing,(you are NOT the real MVP, LR) or reading a list of facts to give determination of what is true and what must be false. ( I see what you did there, LG). Bottom line is the LSAT is not something that should be viewed as redundant or extraneous. Seeking short cuts or silver bullets will result in a standstill in your prep and you'll be left to wonder what could have been done if you just went through this the honest way. As Chef said, do it properly or don't do it at all!

Hey 7Sagers,

I had someone write in with concerns about adjusting their schedule for the June LSAT (since it's in the afternoon and not in the morning) and I thought you guys could help! It's a very brief question, so here it is:

I have a specific concern regarding June, namely, I know for a fact that my mental focus fades really bad mid-afternoon, while being sharpest mid-morning. Any suggestions that you may have would be most greatly appreciated.

Hi guys,

I really need some advice. I applied to the University of Victoria in BC, Canada. My index score (based on my GPA and LSAT) is quite high compared to most of the students who have posted about their acceptance on lawstudents.ca. BUT I applied on Jan 15, five minutes before the deadline... I did not do a good job on my personal statement, despite being a good writer, because I was anxious and procrastinated for far too long. I have this uneasy feeling that this HUGE mistake (which I know was a major fuck up) might have cost me my acceptance. What's the best thing to do now? Just wait patiently and hope for the best or get in contact with the admissions team? I mean, I don't know what I would say, I just know that I really want to get in...

At a loss for next steps... has anyone had this happen?

Thanks so much ♡

P.S., no I am not being hard on myself. My PS actually sucked.

Good Afternoon, I hope everyone is doing well. I have two questions about how to navigate the CAS service that I was hoping someone could answer for me:

1: If my UG major is not in the dropdown menu for the "First Major" tab, am I forced to select the "Any Area not Listed" tab? Is there anywhere where I can fill in my major?

2: I was a transfer student, so I technically attended two undergraduate institutions. Is there a way to indicate this on CAS? I seem to be only able to select one undergraduate degree-granting institution. I am planning on sending both transcripts to CAS for GPA calculation, so I am concerned that they will not be able to indicate where part of my GPA came from.

Thank you.

Hey guys,

It still feels so weird to be on the other side of the LSAT haha. I (surprisingly) received an interview invite from Columbia today. I would greatly appreciate any insight! I've heard their interview can be pretty tough.

Hi,

We've all been there. What would you do if you messed up an LG? As in, you either realize 3-7 minutes in that you misdiagrammed a rule by misreading or otherwise, or you made an erroneous inference and none of the questions are making sense. Strategies to minimize the harm done, please?

(Note: This is strictly from practice test experiences, but it got me thinking what would happen on the real test... :S)

Hi all,

Just a quick question, does the word "can" indicate a relationship or is it indicate like "could", "might" a probability?

For instance, the sentence, "Some reporters can scoop all of the reporters", can you translate it into: Reporter X(-Some-)Scoop all of the reporters. Or is it just a statement indicating probability of this relationship?

if that is not true, then, as a rule of thumb, you can never translate a probabilistic statement into a conditional statement since conditional statement are 100% of occurrence?

How gauge if we are dealing with a NA “bridge” or an NA “shield” question?

The very large array of skills and materials we need to master in order to succeed on the LSAT can make it difficult to know how to approach the task of studying for it. On any given day, where do we aim our efforts? This is an important question, and in my own studies, I frequently got it wrong. Overcoming this challenge was prerequisite to succeeding on this test for me, and I wasted a lot of time and effort learning it the hard way. I hope that by sharing my experience and my study methods with all of you, you can do it right from the beginning and save yourself a lot of hassle.

Hi Guys,

I was trying to prove the following statement, please help to see if it is correct:

(A-->B)-->C

not (A-->B) or C

(A some/and B) or C

C->(A some/and B)

is there more step to go below this?

So all I can get to is that, if C fails, then some A are not B.

Hi guys,

I have some confusion going on here between the difference of the following question:

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-25-section-4-question-23/

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-27-section-1-question-23/

In sum,

From PT25-S4-Q23, we learned that:

If A cause B cause C, then it concludes C causes A; this is wrong because the possibility of C some A, or C and A, is ignored.

If that is true, so why is: PT27-S1-Q23 answer choice A wrong.

If most A cause B, then B, therefore A, the structure of PT25-S4-Q23, then, if we had follow PT27-S1-Q23 logic, it gets down to: (negating "most" to "some not", then it follows that some B is not A is ignored, which is what answer choice A says isn't it?

Greetings everyone,

I am writing because I was supposed to take the Sept LSAT and apply to law school fall 2016. I took a Testmasters course summer 2016 and only saw my score improve by a few points (142 to 147). Part of my low performance was my lack of commitment to studying and another part of it was how it was taught. Since that course, I bought the LSAT Trainer and have studied from that for about a month or so. I graduated from undergrad in 2014 and work full time with an awesome immigration attorney since then. My point is that I'm lost as to how to approach studying for the LSAT. I want to purchase 7sage because it offers explanations and more structure (which is something I desperately need). So, has anyone had a similar experience such as mine? I fear I will jumble up all the methods and be even more miserable than I currently feel now. I plan to take the June LSAT and I want to get a score 160-165. I know I can do it, I'm just not sure how to do it. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

I just noticed that none of my lessons are marked as completed. I still have the different percentages at the top of the page but that's it. If this is a new change how do we now determine which lessons have been completed? I'm logged in from work and haven't checked any other computers or phones. Using Internet Explorer. Can't access other browsers at the moment.

Has the flash player option for videos been discontinued? Sometimes my computer will not load the default player, and I noticed that the alternative option doesn't seem to be available for me any more.

Is this the case for anyone else?

So I'm finally getting my hands on the earlier PT used in the CC (I have been using the silent videos)...yay me! This is probably a dumb question, but how are y'all timing yourselves with the question sets at the end of each section if y'all are using paper copies since most are in different tests and maybe even books? Seems like it would be hard to get an accurate time measure switching PT books for one question.

I know it's recommended to wake up early or be ready by 8:30ish to simulate test-day conditions, but what about the June exam that starts at 1pm?

I'm an early-morning person so the June start time is a serious nightmare (or rather, afternoon-mare) for me, because I tend to hit an afternoon slump, or at least feel not as alert around noon. I've tried waking up later, but having a hard time with things like giving up morning runs when there's less traffic, to generally feeling bad about losing that morning study time, when I'm studying full time and usually get a good chunk done before noon. I feel more productive on an early morning routine, but perhaps it's not worth the risk of a mid-day-slump-during-June-exam?

Any thoughts or experience on getting used to the June LSAT start time?

Hi All,

This is a difficult flaw question and I intent to give a shoot at explaining it, which is different from JY. Please help and check my explanation's validity.

The question link is here: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-27-section-4-question-25/

For flaw question, the first step I do is always noticing the logic and try to draw it out. This helps to distinguish whether the logic fallacy is a formal fallacy or informal fallacy.

Under this question, the logic are breaking down into the following:

Premise 1: Reporter knowledge-->Press Agent-->Tells Everything-->1 reporter knows more->Scoop other reporters

Activator: Tells Everything

Conclusion: Scoop other reporters

By this we notice that it is a SA/NA fallacy.

However, we are not finished. As time consuming as drawing the logic out, the question steam puts the final hurdle.

The question didn't ask "Which one of the following most accurately describes a flaw in the reasoning in the argument", but instead, it says, which one of the following which isn't stated, but is consistent with the flaw.

In other words, we are trying to find one thing that is consistent within the flaw, which we have defined. And we are not defining the flaw here, but a consistent use of language.

Which marks E correct, which translates into: 1 reporter knows more-->Reporter knowledge. I agree, the translation isn't as perfect, but it does draw a great deal of similarity.

Had the question asked to identify the flaw in this question, then B becomes the correct answer, which states: one doesn't have to be a reporter and not scoop the reporters. To see this, refer to PT25-S4-Q23.

Please comment on my explanation.

Thanks,

Panda

Hello,

I'm not sure how to contact 7Sage customer support. Is there a "Contact Us" feature that I'm not seeing? I initially purchased the Ultimate package with the expectation of taking the June 2017 LSAT; however, I just accepted a new job that requires an out-of-state move as well as juggling two jobs between now and July. Given all these changes, I won't be able to devote enough time to studying between now and June and am hoping to extend my access to the content I purchased through September. Is that possible?

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I wonder if you can help and check my analysis to see if it is correct or not.

The question is here: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-20-section-1-question-22/

I used logic to solve this question.

The logic goes of the following:

Law abiding people->Environment->Character->Criminal Action->Crime

And the conclusion states:

Crime->Law abiding people

That is why answer E is correct.
