Would anyone be willing to read over my personal statement and provide some feedback? I can read over yours if you would like and provide feedback. I've made a couple of drafts and am at somewhat of a loss on what to change, if anything. I find a stranger's opinion can be helpful in these situations.

Really liked 7sage. I wanted to hear from others if its worth investing in the course.

Hi @"Dillon A. Wright"

I had purchased the Game pack when it was available but all of those tests (below 36) do not show up in my LG question bank. It would be really convenient if they did. Is that just an oversight on my account, or not a feature available?

Note:

Will someone explain to me why all the answers are wrong and why B is correct? I know it somehow links the premise and the conclusion, it's just so over my head I cannot figure it out.

Thanks in advance!!!

Hey everyone,

Long story short, the plan was to sit the October test. I ended up moving it to December, from which I withdrew. The new plan is to take the June test, and apply for the 2017 cycle.

My question is, is there any benefit to taking the June test over the October test? From what I've gathered, by applying around June, you end up competing with less people, for more seats. I've also read that there isn't much of a difference.

In any case, I don't intend on registering for the LSAT until I am absolutely certain that I am ready.

On a totally unrelated note, do you guys take notes while watching the videos in the curriculum? Just curious. That is currently what I am doing and I am starting to realize that it is slowing me down drastically - can't tell if it's helping or not...

June Test takers!!!! JUNERS!!!!!! It’s our inaugural BR group. Our focus?

FUNDAMENTALS

Get them tonight at Group BR!

June BR Group Schedule: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/6171/june-test-takers-group-br-schedule-updated

Note: PT 29 is part of the 7Sage curriculum and, for all intents and purposes, is a retake. That being said, I think it’s a great way to build up our LSAT fluency by taking an actual PT without having to use the modern tests until we absolutely have to. Another way of thinking about this is we are essentially going to do BR groups of the 7Sage curriculum, something I know a lot of students have requested. Some people might disagree with me, but I don’t think it wouldn't be a waste of time or effort for those who are still working through the curriculum to do this PT, BR it and then meet up for the call.

Note:

Well, my application cycle has come to an end. I just got accepted to Penn today, where I will be attending next year. 7sage has helped me tremendously and I'm confident that I would not have this opportunity if I had not chosen to sign up for 7sage, complete the curriculum, participate in the BR calls, and remain active on the forums. I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful the 7sage community is. People are supportive and everyone wants the best for each other. For those of you who are starting with a low diagnostic score or are plateauing well below your target score, you need not give up hope. I scored a 147 on my diagnostic, but after nearly a year of hard work, I improved tremendously and did well enough on the exam to become a competitive applicant for many of the top schools. My advice to all 7sagers is to utilize all of the resources available to you. Join the BR calls, stay active on the forums, and learn to love the LSAT. If you are having difficulty with a question or want a critique of your studying schedule, reach out to veteran 7sagers. I have spoken at length with many of the most active 7sagers and I can assure you that they will be more than happy to assist you in any possible way. Remember, we are all going through this together. I hope everyone has an amazing application cycle and I hope to see some of you at Penn next year.

This question went completely over my head and I still don't understand why the correct answer is (C) for all the tea in China. If someone could please explain this question it would be greatly appreciated!

Perhaps some insight to these questions in general. These use to be my best question types until I hit PTs in the 70s...

Thanks!

I had originally planned on applying this fall, but due to LSAT taking more time than I originally anticipated, I've decided to just send applications next year instead. However, my letters of recommendation have been submitted by my professors on LSAC. Is there an expiration date on the letters? Will I be able to submit them when I apply next year, or will I have to request them again from my writers?

Hi everyone! If anyone has some better insight as to why (E) is the correct answer I would greatly appreciate it! I see why (E) would be the right answer but I also believe (C) could be a correct answer. The only issue with (C) that I do see is possibly the word "many" but that's about it.

I recognize the phenomenon begging for the explanation would be the fact that even though the number of students who enter as chemistry majors and the job prospects but number of people earning chemistry degrees has declined.

Thanks again!

Is there a template or general format available to model your resume after?

I understand now that the answer is A, but I am having a difficult time seeing why B is wrong. Answer Choice B says Theodora is ignoring the research cited by Marcia. Which I agree with since Theodora mentions people loosing their jobs in the meat industry and can't afford nutritional diets due to people becoming vegetarians. This shows Theodora ignoring Marcia's claim from the research.

I got confused because I feel there are two separate ideas being discussed. The first idea is in the first sentence in Marcia's argument and the first sentence in Theodora's argument. Which talks about whether vegetarian diet lead to nutritional deficiencies or not. Then there is the second idea, which is the second sentence in Marcia's argument and the second sentence in Theodora's which is lengthier. Marcia's second argument is vegetarians can get nourishment from nonanimal foods. Theodora argues by ignoring Marcia's research and claiming something else. Theodora gives the example of the people loosing their jobs and not affording nutritional diets. Since the second idea from both women's second sentences was lengthier from Theodora's argument I felt that was more important and chose answer choice B. How should I have approached this problem? I fail to see how the strength of the language in Theodora's first sentence vs Marcia's first sentence can be lead to the analysis and picking of answer choice A.

I did not understand the explanation in the video.

I diagrammed the following based on my understanding.

ES and PIL ---> OS

PIL ---> OS/e

Therefore, /E and PIL

I chose answer choice A thinking the only part that is missing from the premise to the conclusion is ES---> OS.

What is the difference and any insight here? I have looked around but have not been able to find much.

Note:

Do people usually have applications done and ready before taking their LSAT exam and then wait until they get their scores back to submit or how does the process go? I know submitting as soon as you can is best considering a lot of schools do rolling but could you technically submit your application before you get your score? Or to take it a step further, can you submit an application even though you plan to take the test a second time and just update the school?

Given the LG section tests efficient use of time to accurately complete all four games within 35 minutes, what criteria do you use (if any) to determine when to template hypothetical diagrams (or not)?

An observation not judgement: JY in his videos tends to err toward mapping out possibilities early, which can recover time later on via more rapid answering of the questions. Equally important, the process tends to systemically reveal deeper inferences - absolutely critical to LG success.

On the other hand, there exists some point of negative returns on time invested. Too many hypotheticals take more time, can add clutter rather than clarity, and in the end not all were necessary. An alternative is to build hypotheticals "on the fly" specific to each question, and thereby build understanding along the way.

Clearly arguable trade-offs exist, but also for each LG (examined in hindsight) an optimal path. So my question to everyone (since we are not armed with hindsight) going into a new LG: What is your criteria and, most importantly, for each criterion what is your reasoning for doing so?

Hi everyone, I have just began the process of filling out my online applications on the LSAC website. Does anyone know if there is a way for us to obtain a copy of our driving records? I have had a few speeding tickets over the years but I don't think any of them are over 10 mph but I would like to verify prior to filling out the character & fitness portion of the applications. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Hi! I'm looking for someone to Blind Review Sections/entire exams with. I have found this to be VERY helpful for me in the past and for other people I have worked together with. We would take an LR section/entire exam together, and then each person would go over every other question, articulating why every wrong answer is wrong and why every right one is right. Let me know if you're interested! Send me a message.

Is there a way to notify the forum that someone has posted a question from one of the course sections, without flooding the forums? I've seen people question whether anybody actually views the posts throughout the course if they don't get responses to their questions. Just wondering if there's some way to notify the forum, just as some questions posted the the forums are "bumped" to the top if not answered? It seems that once the course has been completed people generally do not go back to the questions posted throughout the course. Any questions are then posted in the forums. When I'm bored at work I often browse the forums just as I do social media and chime in here or there. It's just more "visual." More eyes are viewing the forums than are viewing the questions posted throughout the course, so maybe better chances of a question being answered in the forums. I've seen mentors and admins reply to questions but of course you guys have lives and can't click on every lesson in the course everyday to make sure questions have been answered.
