I am a little confused. I got a raw score of 80 on my latest LSAT. What scaled score does that translate to?
Hey all. Just wanted to write and foster a discussion about weakening questions. I don't really fully understand them. Sometimes I will get them right and then other times I will completely mess them up. I am really quite sad about this, as I obviously want to conquer them. Any insight into approach would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
hey guys, how long does it take to BR and do you have a systematic approach that works best for you? I feel like i need to experiment a bit with my BR process. Thanks in advance!
When there is a premise saying A cause B, For example.
A.
Premise(1): A Cause B
Premise(2). There is B
Conclusion: There is A
Is this a valid way of reasoning?
B. This is valid reasoning, right?
Premise(1): A Cause B
Premise(2). There is A
Conclusion: There is B
Just wondering, when do they publish PT79?
Where do you usually get PTs?
And, when does 7sage publish explanations for newest PT?
Hey everyone!
This is my first post here. I'm planning to enroll with 7Sage imminently. Excited for the journey!
I have a copy of Mike Kim's Trainer and I was wondering if it's a good idea to incorporate it along with 7Sage's Core Curriculum.
Should I do one before the other instead? Does it even matter?
Additional info: I plan on taking the LSAT in September of next year
Thanks in advance!
As I am completing the core curriculum, we are required to obtain PT 39 and 40. These two tests are (for me) nearly unobtainable. The only access is to buy a book on amazon going for almost $140. I'm curious to how other Sager's work through this conundrum. Is there a better way to obtain these two tests without dishing out over a $100? If not, how did you get around this barrier? Perhaps am I looking in the wrong place for these two tests, or have other people just skipped PT 39 and 40 in the curriculum (which I am contemplating doing)? Any thoughts? I have found all other PT's I need, just not PT 39 and 40 :-(
Hey guys, I do not have an available printer that I can use without having to pay to print out certain problem sets at my school library. My biggest problem is the time limit still, finding the right answer has not been an issue for me. I was wondering if printing out the problems to do actual marking on the problem sheet would increase my time dramatically and also help me improve my overall score. As of now I am just doing using scratch paper to answer the questions. I am still learning and improving but I was just wondering if having an actual paper document in front of me to mark would would help me more to the point where it is worth printing it out. Thanks!
I got PT 60s raw score around 165, but when I review PT 40s and 50s, I still got 159 and around. Really upset about that it. What will happen on PT 70s and on the real test?
Hey guys,
I am graduating from college in the Spring of 2017. My projected GPA will be around 3.7 or 3.69.
Does it make a difference for law school admissions to have a GPA of 3.7 as opposed to 3.69?
Thank you.
I plan on going into public interest law and so the personal statement discusses my drive for social justice. I've written it and had a couple of people look at it, but now need to fine tune it.
Hey guys so I am a football player at a Division I football school with a scholarship. I'm not trying to say that being a student athlete is a justification for a low GPA but I am sitting around a 3.3 cumulative but a 3.9 major GPA. However, I'm scoring in the high 160's/low 170's for the LSAT, and I still got 7 more weeks till I take it in December. I also have 2 years of law internship experience and I have three solid letters of recommendation. I also know that some applications allow you to justify a low GPA in an essay. However, I heard that the Law School application process is computerized, and it automatically denies students below a certain combination of GPA and LSAT score. So am I kind of already screwed over in the application process? or do I just need to increase my LSAT score even more? Anyone's opinions would be nice. My goal schools are NYU, Columbia, and USC. Thanks!
If I have:
/G most W
--------------
W some U
And, I want to draw "W some U".
Are these possibilities?
/G most U
/G most W
/G some U
/G most W
/G ---> U
/G most W
I don't see how this one works.
/G some U
/G most W
So we also wanted to check in this week on the time change. Since we've been going so late, the idea was to start a little earlier for the east coast folks. I figured, the east coast usually needs to leave early so let's bump it up a little for them. If west coast needs to be a little late, no problem, it'll balance out. My worry is that the psychology of being late may be different enough from leaving early that folks are willing to leave early but not arrive late. Or, the drop in attendance could just be the normal post test attendance drop. Anyway, I've attached a poll so that you guys can pitch in. We just want to make sure we're accommodating as many people as possible. Thanks guys!

Note:
So I've taken a look all around the forums, and watched the videos on the Memory Method, but I was just wondering how you guys think I should try and implement the Memory Method into my test-taking habits for the December LSAT? I have the freedom to study everyday, so whatever you guys suggest is cool, I just want to improve my RC a little bit, at least (I'm consistently at like -13).
Essentially, I want to know how often to practice, and how I should practice using the Memory Method?
Thank you guys, appreciate any help I can get!
I think I am confused with causal argument and conditionality.
I felt when causal argument has something to do with explanation, giving explanation/hypothesis in the conclusion. Then, there is some kind of bi conditional relationship between cause and effect. (if there is a cause there must be effect, if there is a effect, there must be cause, and there is no alternative explanation)
However, if there is a premise describing a causal relationship, would it be okay to think that there is bi conditional relationship between cause and effect? I feel like there is only one way relationship. Cause being the sufficient condition and Effect being the necessary condition.
Plz Comment. I am using this idea when I am doing questions. I am still unsure.
Hey everybody!
Before I graduated from my university, my advisor suggested I write an addendum for my science grades. He has since changed professions and I cannot get a hold of him. His replacement is not very helpful. I completed 3 and a half years of premedical preparation before deciding to go to law school, and quite frankly, I decided in my last semester. There are two rather dramatic events that are described in my personal statement which caused the change. With science grades included, my GPA is a 3.43 and without them, it is boosted to around 3.7. Is there an eloquent way to write an addendum or should I avoid it completely?
Thank you!!!
Hey guys, a while back some of you asked for an accommodated proctor. It took a while but we just uploaded a 5 section, accommodated LSAT proctor up on YouTube. We're hoping to get it worked into the app soon as well.

One of my friend recommended this book to me. I just want a second opinion. Thanks!
Hey guys!
I'm on the Main Point and Main Conclusion Problem Set 1, and the first question is from Preptest 21. But according to the pinned post here https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2770/list-of-affordable-pts-paperback-hard-copy/p1 , it says that for Ultimate+ I only would need PT 36-77. So do I really need all of the PTs to do all the homeworks? I'm just confused about what materials I need, especially because I like having all the questions in hard copy to practice with. Will this happen again in future homeworks as well? What should I do? :/
Thanks so much!!
Hi All,
I've been pretty good with setting up and reading conditional chains for in-and-out games but for some reason I'm really confused with the conditional chain for PT 34 S4 G4 (if you recall, it's about splitting six doctors to either the Souderton or Randsborough clinic).
Here is the simplified version of the conditional chain for this game:
~N --> ~O --> J --> ~K --> P
When I look at this, the minimum number of doctors that needs to be in the in group (Souderton) is two since we have two separate OR pairs (~O --> J and ~K --> P) as was asked in question 21 (and the correct answer was "two").
So this is where I get really confused. If this is the logic we are using to interpret a minimum number of doctors, why can't the correct answer for question 19 (which asks for a complete and accurate list of doctors at Souderton) be E (N and P)? Why can't the ~N --> J pair be treated the same as ~O --> J? If we only have N and P, aren't we still good since we have at least one of N and J and one of K and P?
I guess I am really confused as to how to correctly account for the OR pairs when there so many overlap between them in a particular chain like you see above? Thanks for your help in advance!

Hey Ya'll,
Just less than 2 months before my December exam, I am at a crucial point in my preparation. I want to start Blind Reviewing and taking full PTs by October 24th. However, I will not be able to complete the entire curriculum. Fear not, as I've already taken a Kraplan course before and have a good understanding of how to approach all LR and LG types - I feel as though I just need more practice.
SO, should I sacrifice finishing the CC for Blind Review (2 pts a week) starting October 24th? My plan is to do a PT one day, spend the next day blind reviewing, and then the third day I would watch CC videos for anything that needed clarification. Do this routine twice a week with one day off.
Should I risk begin only starting to PT by November 15thish or do you think actual practice can be more rewarding than the CC?
...without burn out?
If so, how??
Hi,
I was just wondering...
Anyone had this combination before the break?
Would there always be the experiment section in the morning?
Thanks
