Thanks!!

We are moving the site to new servers tonight. This will affect both the site and the App.

We are taking the site down starting at 12am Eastern (9pm Pacific) time. ​We hope to have the site back up within a couple of hours, but it may take longer, so it may be down until the next morning. Sorry for any inconvenience!

The good news is: based on our testing, the site should be significantly faster after the move :)

Sorry for the inconvenience during the move!

If you are still unable to access the site tomorrow morning (February 2nd), please clear your DNS Cache (https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/CKB/How+To+Clear+Your+DNS+Cache). If that doesn't help, please send us an email.

Edit: Site is back up and running way faster than before :) Total downtime was about 50 minutes. Sorry for the interruption.

Hi all,

What are your thoughts on Practice Test retakes? Are the scores you get utterly insignificant? Or not?

If so, are they still worth doing? Thoughts?

So I know that on the LSAT correlation can never, ever, ever equal causation. I know that correlation being there can strengthen causation and a lack of correlation can weaken causation.

My question is this: does causation equal correlation (on the LSAT specifically?) In-depth explanations welcome, as are examples. Bonus points: LSAT questions off the top of your head that use that concept (rare, I would imagine)

Hello everyone,

I am new to the 7sage community currently taking the Premium Course. After wasting thousands of dollars on another course, and after taking a year off school I am putting all my effort and focus into taking the LSAT for June latest September. I am wondering if it is worth it to purchase the Ultimate Plus Course, as I am not quite comfortable doing only easy problem sets as everybody knows the LSAT is definitely not at all easy. My cold diagnostic is 137 as I did not attempt alot of questions due to the need to work on time management and 151 with blind review untimed and answering all the questions. I at least want to aim to get a 160 or 155 lowest on test day. Money is super tight but I know investing in education is priceless if it can open doors. Anybody find the Admissions package helpful? I would appreciate any insight.

Thank You,

Michelle

I know Lawgic is incorporated in the CC in order to gain a full understanding of the the LSATs components. However, I find that trying to use conditional logic to try and solve LR problems actually confuses me and slows me down. I actually understand the problem better when I just read the LR stimulus very carefully, focusing on the indicator words and parsing out conclusions and premises. Is it ok to not worry about conditional logic for LR or am I going to need it when I get to later question types? Thanks!

Anybody else anxiously awaiting for their admissions decisions? So far I have only gotten back two decisions out of ten. One was immediate and the other took an entire week. I do the online application check at least once a day and they have said that they have been in review for at least a week. Is this normal?

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone had any advice in regards to how to resume studying after taking a break? I finished the core curriculum in December, and decided early Jan that I wasn't going to be ready for the Feb. LSAT. I also decided to postpone my LSAT studies until April, when I finish my undergrad, so that I have the time to dedicate myself to full-time studies. I was just wondering if there were any tips for keeping my brain LSAT-engaged so it doesn't feel like I have to start all over again in April. Also, how people got back into the groove of studying full-time after taking a couple months off? Any help is appreciate, thanks :)

Hi Guys,

When would you recommend I completely stop studying for the LSAT if I am taking it this February. Do you recommend warming up on test day or the night before?

Thank you :)

Can someone let me know which other games are similar to this one?

This is the first time that I have encountered this kind of set up.

This Saturday will be my first time taking the LSAT and so far I've taken more prep tests than I can count over the past months. Although I will probably take it again, I'm one of those people who historically does significantly better when taking the test twice. Thus I'm planning ahead and taking it this Saturday followed by a later try during my last year of college.

Best of luck to everyone and please make sure y'all are winding down and destressing. Take care of yourselves and see you on the other side. (3(/p)

All,

I'm new to 7SAGE. I haven't started PT'ing yet. I am going through the course curriculum first. How long did it take you to get through the curriculum? Just trying to order some PT's and plan out my schedule. I have a full time job while studying for the LSAT. Planning to sit in September. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone's had a similar experience to mine and has scored well on their LSATS. I started at a 148 without reviewing the material ever and I'm trying to get to a 160. I'm currently studying about 3 hours per day (I work full-time) and about 5-6 on Saturdays and 5-6 on Sundays. I'm hoping this can get me where I need to be! I'm taking the LSAT in June and need a little bit of encouragement. Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks to this community I've improved my RC and logic game scores tremendously, yet for some reason my AR score has gone down. That was the section that I was strongest in. I'm supposed to sit for the Feb test Saturday but I think I'm going to parlay that into writing for the June one instead. I was still planning to take June anyway, but was going to take Feb since I was already registered. My husband said he thinks taking the test Saturday is still a good idea, for practice reasons, but I don't want to chance it. I was devestated after receiving my Dec score and I read here that the day of score could be lower than PTs when you account for day of jitters etc. it's just that I'm older than most of you tenderonis and cannot afford another year of waiting. sigh I have to remind myself it'll be worth the wait.

I have a story to share for those who are at a crossroads. Keep in mind that I am overwhelmed with emotions that my grammar & steneces may be off. But I knew the best time to write this would be when I was in this state of mind. I took the LSAT October 2015 & did not perform well-at all. I was devastated because that meant I had to take a whole year off & I didn't know what my next should be. I decided you know what I'll try this 7Sage curriculum-what else do I have to lose. After relearning the LSAT, rigorous hours of prep tests, & preptalks I decided to retake the LSAT in December 2016. I promised myself that no matter my score I would write about my experience with 7Sage to help other students that are in the same boat as I am. Because trust me, I had thoughts about whether I should quit on my dreams & just settle. Well I just found out, like five minutes ago that I got accepted into the school that I had been wanting to since I began this incredible journey!! So those of you that can relate don't give up, keep trying, & have faith! So with alllll that said, THANK YOU SO MUCH 7Sage you seriously were a huge part of the beginning of my legal education!

Sorry so long!! :)

Hey All,

So we have this health study that found that people who gained approximately 1 pound per year after the age of 35 tended, on the whole, to live longer than those who maintained the weight they had at 35. However, there have been other studies that indicated that weight gain tends to lower life expectancy.

Pretty standard resolve the paradox stimulus. I'm thinking: "Okay...well 'weight gain' is a pretty vague concept. 1 pound a year versus 10 pounds a year will certainly yield different results. Maybe the answer choice has something to do with that? Or maybe we find out that one of the tested groups were not representative-- meaning maybe they were poor eaters or the weight gain was a result of muscle gain because they were regular gym goers."

Well, none of the answer choices did any of those things (not completely anyway).

I eliminated the correct answer (C) because it says that smokers tend to be leaner than nonsmokers. It says nothing about weight gain.

If (C) read: Smokers, who tend to be less likely to gain weight than non smokers, tend to have shorter life spans than nonsmokers, then I could see what the test writers were getting at. (C) would be providing us with an example of a situation in which another factor (namely, smoking) can effect the outcome of the study. (C) would give us a potential reason that these two studies yielded different results because the group was not a representative group. I think (C) would still provide a very weak resolution because it is not specifically linking the scenario in (C) with our stimulus and we are just given a vague possibility that may or may not be relevant. However, I'm not a fan of the other ACs either, so I guess (C) is what we're left with. The "may" part of "may or may not be relevant" is apparently enough.

HOWEVER, my contention with C is what I mentioned earlier. During my timed section (and even BR...) I eliminated C because it said nothing about weight gain. So smokers are usually leaner? Okay...? Maybe there is some sort of propensity in leaner people to smoke? Maybe people who eat less are more inclined to pick up smoking habits? The point is we don't know...so how on earth can we assume that weight gain is playing a factor at all in the scenario in (C)?

Thanks in advance.

I finally decided to withdraw Feb LSAT. I felt underprepared and have advantage on this application cycle. I didn't take enough PTs and RC practice. It's a really hard decision since I prepared for more than three months.My target score is 170.Currently in around mid 150s.

I may apply for another master degree while preparing for June/Oct LSAT.

Hope my skills will get improved.Life goes on.

When doing NA questions that are not logic based, it is a lot easier for me to get the correct answer, especially with negating the answer choices.

However, when NA questions are logic based, I have a very difficult time getting the correct answer.

Cans someone please give me some advice on how to do NA questions that are logic based?

When doing SA questions that are logic based, I do well seeing as I know how to diagram the statements and link them up accordingly.

However, when SA questions are not logic based, I have a very difficult time getting the correct answer.

Cans someone please give me some advice on how to do SA questions that were not logic based?

Hey guys! I just got notified that HLS is offering me an interview! Wondering if anyone has been through it and would like to share some tips?

With 5 days left, I want to wish everyone who is taking the upcoming LSAT the best of luck. I also wish anyone going to the class of 2020 the best of luck, too.

We salute you.

A friend of mine and I were discussing PT 76 (a PT I had never done before), and I went rummaging through my LSAT material, when I found PT 76, its cover a sort of sea green. Now, my first reaction was that PT 76 does NOT "feel" like a sea green to me. My friend said the same and voiced his dissatisfaction with PT 77's vibrant red, a point I myself was about to make!

We both agreed PT 72 felt right with its purple cover and that PT 77 needed a more neutral color. Does anyone get this way when looking at these PTs? There's some psychology to this, I just know it!

I don't know why it takes a whole month to release LSAT scores, but is it generally not advisable to take the Dec. exam if you're planning on applying that cycle to very competitive schools?

Reason I ask is because I'd like to take Sept and Dec (as backup) but if I don't get scores until January I feel like I might as well wait until the next cycle to apply. A lot of this is based on what's ideal and I know many would point out that I should take the test when I feel ready, but timing and a backup plan are strategic considerations that have to at least be factored.

Is anyone else having trouble focusing on the LSAT with everything that is going on? This is an incredible space and I do not wish to compromise its neutrality. I am simply having trouble focusing. Does anyone have tips on staying the course?

I just found out that I didn't submit my summer school transcript. Could I estimate the GPA before submitting it on CAS?
