Why??

Does it affect anything?

If you have used the Powerscore LR Bible, this question is for you!

I have previously used the LSAT Trainer and have just begun the Core Curriculum (Starter Kit). My LR can improve to say the least. That being said, is there information to gain from the Powerscore LR Bible that I cannot gain from 7Sage Core Curriculum and/or LSAT trainer?

Any additional advice towards improving LR would also be much appreciated! :)

Hello,

I have a question about these two choices

1. the argument takes for granted that the higher sales of established products are due to effective advertising

2. the argument confuses a condition necessary for increasing product sales with a condition that will ensure increased sales

So I thought in the stimulusu says

lower sale(This season's sales...)→ill conceived（Thus...）

Then 1. says effective ad→higher sale

So this looks like contrapositive of what the stimulus says

（ill conveived=effective ad）

In 2. I thought it says higer sale→effective ad is actually the correct one, and because the stimulus says lower sale→ill conceived, it confuses the sufficient and necessary.

Why I cannot think this way?

Thanks

I understand why the correct answer is right, but I'm not so sure about the incorrect answers. If someone can check my reasoning and see if I am correct, I would be so appreciative and grateful!

A) This answer choice discusses luck which was never talked about in the exchange. I also think it is wrong because of the word "rarely" while we know that some farms have positive successful rates which the critic argues against, we don't know the rate of the farms success.

B) The critics do not show that the results would be different if twice the amount of farms were studied; they only say the farms studied were the ones that were amenable to natural methods, the results would be the same because of the farms selected under study

C) This is true except for the fact that the critics show justification for their reasoning (farms that were selected for study)

D) They don't demonstrate that natural methods are not suitable for the majority of farms; they only point out that if a self selecting group is used for a study, then it is not representative of all farms using natural methods

E) captures the flaw, the study is saying natural methods success rates is possible, not that it is representative for all farms

I would love some feed back. I gave it to a couple of my professors but they are understandably busy and haven't gotten back to me yet. Trying to apply by 10/19/2016

Hey Guys,

My original plan was to start law school next August. I took the sept. lsat, and I have my transcripts and LORs in. I now think I want to delay it for a year.

My question is: will the LORs and everything be good? Do I need to get new updated LORs and all that other stuff?

I took the LSAT last December with the attention of going to Law School in Fall. I was extremely busy when I originally took the test and barley studied. Unfortunately, I scored in the 150's. I decided I was going to retake the test when I had more time to study and not apply to last school until the next year. However, several schools sent me application waivers. Out of the schools that sent me application waivers one was Northeastern which is a school that I am interested in attending. They have an excellent public interest law program which is my area of interest. I'm now studying for the LSAT full-time to retake in December with way more time on my hands than I had last year. My goal is to score to score "165" but whatever my score im likely to score way better than the first test I took in December based upon my performance on practice test. Should I wait to submit my northeastern law application until my new lsat score comes in in December or should I submit it with the old one?

Hi!

So I've been practicing LG and I've run into a timing problem on one of them. I can easily get all the answers right in 8 min, but it is considered an 'easy' game. I think what the problem is, is that there aren't really any inferences from the rules you can make, so the questions are all 'If this....then what?' questions. This obviously requires a new board, but I'm even finding in order to eliminate all but 1 answer choice I need to draw 2 boards (ie a block of TWE that goes into 567 and then TWE going into 456 because those are the 2 places those blocks can go). Has anyone found a way to do this more quickly? Or should I just expect to spend more time on these types of games?

Hello,

I was wondering whether it is worth re-doing the same RC passages.

I know some people say re-doing LR questions are beneficial, but is it the same for RC passages?

Or for RC passages, should we put more focus on quantity instead of quality?

(I mean, do more different RC passages instead of re-do the same ones...)

Thanks!

Do law schools even have admissions counselors? If not, who do you have look over your PS?

I have a few professors that are willing to look over it but they don't have any experience with law schools apps. I do know some attorneys, but they all went to the lowest ranking law schools. I'm definitely still going to have all of them give me feedback on my PS, but I would like to know how to find someone really knowledgeable to help me out.

Hey folks,

I could use some help here deciding what to do re: scores, tests, prep $, etc.

I self-studied for the Sept 2016 LSAT. I decided to take it pretty quickly and chose the date as a drop-dead to push myself to committing to law school (vs. continuing to stall.) Using a combo of the Trainer, 7sage free game videos, and the PS Bible for LR, I was PTing ~168-171 on the few tests I took, losing my points in LGs (too slow!) and the curvebuster LRs. I did NOT do the thing where I waited to take the actual LSAT until I had the score I wanted; my PTs had not yet plateaued, I still hadn't cracked the games, and I was continuing to add points in timed sections. I don't think I did that well on the actual test and am debating retaking and if I did I would want to add another tool. I have a splitter GPA for my stretch schools (3.66), am an older student, and can imagine how a higher score could really change my options (although, at the same time, I am still deciding what I actually want.)

I don't have a lot of $ though, especially since for a variety of technicalities I don't qualify for a LSAC fee waiver and am worried about application fees at this point. My gut would be to go with the Starter Course for the Core Curriculum, but I worry that I won't need a lot of it and that because it is mostly the easier drill qs and older tests I will not be getting what I need most. My other option would be to get the LG Bible, buy some more practice tests, and really focus on games and the hardest LR qs self-studying.

I would love to hear from some folks with this profile about which course they decided to take with 7sage (if any at all.) I could figure out how to make some money to at least lessen the blow for getting one of the more expensive courses, and I understand the reasoning behind "$800 now vs. thousands later," but now is also now and baby's gotta eat.

Thoughts? Your time is much appreciated.

Hi guys!

Can anyone offer some advice on how to actually get to the fourth passage on time. I always only finish 3 of the passages.

I try my best to get through all the passage and questions fast enough tot get to the fourth but it never happens.

Any advice on how I could drill RC to get better?

Thank you.

The September exam has come and gone; for me, it was my second take. Honestly, I wasnt too confident about my take due to the laquer passage and thr virus game. I was wondering when would be a good time to start studying again, just in case I need to retake a third time. Should I study again on Gray Day? Although having a much needed rest after studying 2 years is enjoyable, some part of me is concerned about my skills becoming rusty during the 3 week time period.

Hey Everyone! I'm new to the 7sage community and I'm so happy that I signed up! I took a 2 and half month classroom course this past summer which ended 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately, it wasn't as helpful as I had hoped and I didn't increase my score at all (considering I didn't take that many prep tests). However, since beginning the 7sage curriculum, it seems as if I have learned far more then in 2 weeks then I did in that entire course. Wish I would've started this earlier!

Anyways, my diagnostic test was a 141, which I was extremely disappointed about. I took a second PT after a month and a half and scored a 133 because my instructor told me to just focus on the first half of every section. I haven't taken another PT since. I plan on taking the June 2017 LSAT. I've read on various forums that it's impossible to break the 170s with such a low diagnostic (personally, now that I have 7sage, I don't think it is). However, with dedicated and deliberate prep, realistically speaking, is it possible for me to score in the high 160's (165-169) or even break 170's with about a year prep? (Sept. 2017 LSAT).

And, anyone who has done this, how long did you study? How many hours a week, on average? What other resources beside 7sage? How did you schedule your prep/time management? Did you have a study buddy? Any other commitments besides prep? (I'm a full time senior in undergrad). How did you avoid burnout? Did you plateau or hit a ceiling, and how did you break through?

Sorry for the long question, just trying to set realistic expectations so that I can set some effective study goals. Thanks for your help!!

I was just wondering if anyone else goes through this... Sometimes, 1. while taking a PT, I lose concentration during certain portions of the test, which end up hurting my score. Does this happen to you? How do you stay focused throughout the entire test? And 2. During Logic Games, the time pressure makes me miss questions I should have easily gotten correct. When i go back to BR, it really confuses me how I miss some of the questions because I completely see my mistakes when I BR. Anyway, this is pretty frustrating because when I have days where I focus better, I usually score at the higher end of my range, and it's just frustrating to not consistently score as high as I can.

I consistently finish LR around 6 minutes early when I'm doing it timed and I get around 158-160.

I've taken a couple PTs untimed and I finished the LR sections around 5 minutes past the time limit and I got 165-167.

Clearly time is very important...I'm not sure if I'm just in panic mode and rushing through it or if I just need more practice pacing myself? I do look at my timer a couple times but usually it just encourages me to speed up rather than slow down

Any advice?

Hey guys,

I have Superprep II, in hard copy, and I only bought it for the C2 exam, but is there anywhere that I can get C2 as a PDF? So that I have a clean copy of it after I take it. I like to print out LSATs rather than doing them in a book, too, so that I can easily insert my experimental section in there.

Hi 7sage community! I'd like some advice before I hire a tutor to help me achieve a higher lsat score. I am not opposed to spending the money, but I would just like to hear any input sages or mentors or anyone else has to offer before.

I started seriously studying in May, 2016. My first PT was a 155. Since then my best has been a 162. My RC has always been strong but I still get anywhere from 3 to 6 wrong. I have made tremendous progress in Logic games. I'm definitely proud of that. I can solve basically any game. The problem is timing. Lastly, LR is hit or miss for me. I have also improved my comprehension and the ability to zero in on what the argument is and what its support is. However, my timing is off. Recently, I've been trying to do the first 10 questions in 10 minutes. I've also been marking obviously wrong answers much quicker and spending less time reading all the answer choices in depth.

However, I am worried. I am registered for December but have absolutely no problem with postponing until February. I work full-time but I am motivated and committed. When I made that first jump, I was happy but I'm eager now to see another big improvement soon, hopefully into the late 160s.

I have 23 PTs left. When I started out I did not have a plan to use my resources as most efficiently as possible. But now I am much more cognizant of those resources. So I've been spending time drilling the the PTs under 38.

I finished the 7sage curriculum and I'm just not sure where to go from here. I liked that there was a schedule. I think another schedule might help but I think I also need strategy in order to create that schedule.

Any thoughts? I know Nicole Hopkins says she is particularly good at these organizational skills. Anyone else in this position?

I don't want to "waste" ANY PTs and I do want to score above 170. I believe I can but I'm lacking strategy.

Thoughts?

Hi! We're all obviously very heavily invested in our PS's and I thought it would be extremely useful to have semi-anonymous feedback from each other. Would anyone be interested in swapping and reviewing?

Also, if anyone has any knowledge on this, are there any differences in what different law schools look for in the PS?

Hi all,

Have anyone experienced a significant drop in your RC scores from PT 60s to 70s?

Do you think RC passages in 70s are harder than those in 60s?

Hey guys!

I really want to upgrade today and get back into the grind, but I'm confused about what the Ultimate+ package includes-- are the lesson materials all printed out? On the purchase screen it says I need to purchase preptests on my own, which I am fine with, but do I need those preptests to start today / get into the grind of the lessons? Thanks!

I just realized I hadn't posted! Sorry! I hope everyone was able to pull up the calendar to see what's next! Better late than never?
