404 Error?

Hi,

When studying the syllabus today, I suddenly received a "404 error page not found" when trying to access materials. I was studying without any issue just minutes prior. I tried an incognito tab and logging out to no avail. Is the site down for maintenance? Is anyone else having this issue?

404 Error

Hi guys! For the past 5 mins it says 404 error on every page i try to open on the learn --> syllabus page. Is the site undergoing maintenance? Would anyone happen to know when this will be resolved? For context i have tried opening 7sage in different browsers and through the application itself. Thank you!

UPDATE: False alarm - I was in too deep. AC E is a fine conditional statement alone, but it does not fit into the premise chain. Obviously, you can't say exceed budget this year --> renovate next year - we have no way of knowing this is true. This is why the answer choice must be D.

I'm having a hard time with a fundamental principle exposed in PT94 S4 Q13.

premise chain: renovate this year --> renovate next year --> exceed budget next year

conclusion: exceed budget this year --> exceed budget next year

Gap: where does exceed budget this year fit into the premise chain?

AC D (correct): renovate this year --> exceed budget this year

AC E (incorrect): renovate this year --> exceed budget this year

I understand why D is correct. It would create the following chain: exceed budget this year --> renovate this year --> renovate next year --> exceed budget next year. This would allow the conclusion: exceed budget this year --> exceed budget next year to be properly drawn.

I do not understand why E is incorrect primarily because I do not understand why we couldn't formulate a correct premise chain like this: renovate this year --> exceed budget this year --> renovate next year --> exceed budget next year

This still gets me to the correct conclusion. I guess I just don't understand why renovate this year must be necessary to exceed budget this year and cannot be sufficient.

I posted a PSA that you can request to remove the experimental section of the LSAT as part of your accommodations and got a ton of questions. So here is some basic info that might help:

-Extra time is only one of many accommodations you can request

-For example, you can request to provide your own pencils, own paper, you can get stop/start breaks, use of reading highlighter tool...You can request Beyonce sit in on your test... literally anything. Your letter of support from your provider will just need to elucidate your specific need.

-This process is clearly outlined on LSAC's website. If you're not clear on the process you can call LSAC and have them explain it to you. It's basically a list of requests, backed up by your provider, which usually implies a diagnosis. You input all your paperwork and wait for LSAC to grant or deny your requests. Requests are generally granted if you provide support from your provider.

-LSAC can take forever to get back regarding decision. I got my approval the day before my test, which was stressful and annoying, but LSAC sucks in general so that's to be expected.

-Law schools don't know who has accommodations. Legally LSAC cannot disclose any information regarding accommodations.

Hope that's helpful!

Please consider adding 'accommodations' as a discussion category on 7sage @"David Busis"

Just got my June 2024 score back, and although not terrible, I will be rewriting so wanted to ask the following question to redirect my studying. When studying for the June test, I noticed that my BR scores were consistently above 172 (peaking at 177), whereas my PT scores averaged around a 165-166 (peaking at 170). My blind review process usually took the time and a half of an actual PT, so its pretty clear to me that my disproportionate scoring is due to speed issues. There are other factors as well (being able to fool proof LG in BR easily, being able to take mental breaks, etc.), but I think timing is the major issue as opposed to fundamental issues.

I wanted to ask those of you who may have experienced the same thing, how you improved your scores, or in other words, made your BR scores a reality? Since my best, or at least most reliable, section will no longer be on the test, I'm trying to offset the potential for a scoring decrease. I know practice is likely gonna be many people's answers, but I felt that I hit a plateau in terms of timing and improvement, where if I had more time and continued to just practice the way I was, my improvement would have been minimal. This is why I figured I'd ask for any specific advice to help with my issue.

Additionally, I'm willing to spend a bit more money to invest in other prep materials to maybe break out of this plateau (cause I'm rather desperate lol). So any recommendations for prep materials that helped people with this issue would also be greatly appreciated. I'm considering purchasing the Loophole and the RCHero course, so insights into these prep materials and perhaps whether they helped people with speed issues is also greatly appreciated! :)

Sorry for the post, just figured I'd restart my studying by hearing some people's opinions on this. And for those of you who were also not satisfied with your June mark, keep your chin up and keep fighting, soon enough we'll all come out of this having conquered this dastardly test!

Third Test?

Hi all,

i took the June 2024 LSAT and got the EXACT SAME score as my previous January one, a 157. I was REALLY hoping for a 165+ and feel so discouraged and upset. My UGPA was only a 3.81 so it's also not optimal. I'm now debating a third and final test, but I don't know how that will look on applications. I don't have fellowships or anything, but I do have a gap year full of amazing experiences. I think some law schools only take the highest score, some average, but do they see how many times I had to take it? I don't want to hurt my chances any more than I already have. any advice is strongly appreciated. I'm truly so lost and upset I can't stop crying.

I recently did AP3 RRE1 Exc1 PF1 and didn't get question 10 correct. I chose A because it mentioned synthetic products ... which does not mean that they are natural. However, this choice was incorrect. Can anyone explain how they got the right answer?

Been waiting 6 months…

Is there anything I should do if I applied to law school at the end of December and still haven’t heard back from the law school I applied to? I was moved to “no decision” in March

I've taken a couple of prep tests and haven't really seen any improvement. Should I be drilling more? Go back to lessons? How do you guys make the most out of what 7sage offers and how can I see more improvement? Taking the LSAT in September 2024.

As application season approaches, I was wondering what people to ask for letters of recommendation when I am taking a gap year to work? I have a great relationship with my boss and a few professors that can speak to my on-the-job performance, but what other things are admissions officers looking for?

Thank You 7SAGE

167>168>173 (January, April, June)

Holy shit I can't believe I scored this! (Well I mean I can it's been two years man.)

Working full time and studying and I finally got it - and you can do it too. Just give yourself enough time!

I could not have done this without 7sage's video tutorials and their analytics tool - what a time saver. Also your podcasts were my rituals during my commutes. @JYping thank you for creating an affordable and effective resource.

Hey guys! 166 June, wanted 170+. It's nice to say "okay, I'm going to law school," but MAN--I wanted a higher score! I was scoring 170s on PTs, so I'm shook. What can I do to study for August? I've already put 200 hours into this test.

I took the April test and scored 164, but was PT-ing in the high 160s. My goal is to score in the 168-174 range, but rushed to take the June test under unideal circumstances (I'm studying abroad and was not in an ideal testing environment) because the logic games is my best section. I scored 162 which I'm not happy with, and plan to retake in the fall -- any opinions on whether it would look worse to keep this lower score or cancel it? If I keep it, is it worth writing an addendum at all?

LG is the section that gives me the most trouble, but I wanted the give myself another chance on the June 2024 LSAT, just got the score back and it was 8 points below my August 2023 score. I decided to take a gap year to work so I have time to get married and complete my applications before Thanksgiving, but I am wondering if retaking the test is something I should do as well. I was accepted last cycle for the school I will most likely attend, but I was hoping to improve my LSAT to correlate more with my GPA and give me a shot at going to a better school or receive more scholarships. Any advice appreciated!

hello, i got a 146 on my lsat and i was wondering if i should just cancel it or keep it ? Im trying to get in the high 150s which i believe i can achieve by the next LSAT exam i take .

Specific reference questions ("the author mentions X primarily in order to..." and so forth) are the only RC question type I really have not mastered at all and they come up in almost every PT. If anyone has any resources that would be great.
