Hi everyone, I have been going back and forth on whether or not to sit for the September LSAT or to wait until December. I was wondering if anyone had any good insight or advice - my diagnostic was a 147, took another PT and got a 147 again. When I look over the sections and see what I'm missing, it is mostly in the LG section, where I only got 7 total points on both PTs. I actually don't finish my LG sections completely either... but the first 20 or so questions I do get to, I miss about 4 or 5. My RC could be better also. I'm worried that doing so poorly indicates that I should not be going into law in general, but I also think attaining a goal score in the 160's is generally possible, any advice? Thanks ahead of time!

Am I able to view any questions and logic games explanations w/only the free trial?

I'm wondering how long top scorers usually prepare for. I desperately want to get a score in the 170's and think it's absolutely possible.

I started studying the beginning of June with a diagnostic of 152 and I'm currently sitting around 160, with the majority of lost points coming from RC (getting roughly half wrong). I still feel like I need some time to polish up LG and LR before incorporating RC. I had planned to take in September but I'm about 95% sure I'm going to postpone until December.

I think the progress I've made is pretty good. I've only been studying roughly 2.5 months and I've boosted my score roughly (it fluctuates) 8 points.

How long do most top scorers usually prepare for?

Hi, So I was wondering what is the best strategy to adopt for bubbling the answers on the answer sheet for the LR section? Is it best to bubble per question, or once you've solved all questions on both the open pages, or after having solved all questions possible in the entire section? This may sound trivial, but I have been experimenting with different strategies and they have a not so insignificant impact on my timing. Just wanted to know what works best for most people and if there is a consensus on which one to follow.

I don't know about any of you, but RC was my weakest section. I was shocked at this because I am a very good reader. What I have concluded is it was my weakest section because of attitude towards it, not because I don't understand the material. Ever since I changed my attitude about the section, my score improved. I tried really hard to be positive and WANT to do the section, rather than HAVING to do the section. I also tried to steer away from looking at the questions as simply questions and I started to look at it is as more of figuring out a puzzle ( answering the questions is putting the puzzle together). I found I was better able to interact with the passage and the questions.

Maybe I am actually just going insane, but I think attitude is everything.

Happy studying you smarties :)

For some reason I can't remember exactly what these question types are called, but they're typically at the beginning of each section and read something like, "Which one of the following could be the composition of each of the teams...." So if someone could refresh my memory on what exactly this question type is called....that would be great!

For these questions we're supposed to go through the rules one by one and eliminate incorrect answers.

My question is this: Typically I find that each rule eliminates ONLY 1 answer choice. There are rare instances where a rule will eliminate 2 answer choices, but this is rare. After I identify an answer choice that a rule eliminates, should I continue to apply that rule to the other options, or can I move on to the next rule. In the interest of time, I've been moving on to the next rule after eliminating an answer choice.

Who else says "screw the LSAT for tonight" and binge watches John Oliver instead? Lol

I narrowed this question down to A and B but ultimately chose A.

A isn't necessarily wrong, but since this is a "most closely conforms" question, B was determined to more closely conform to the advertisers reasoning. I understand how this could be the case, but it does raise a question about relative terms like "many."

I'm hoping someone can provide some clarity.

The stimulus says that, "advertisers will not pay to have their commercials aired during a TV show unless many people watching the show buy the advertised products."

Correct Answer (B) states, "If a TV show would be canceled unless many people took certain actions..."

When many is used in the stimulus it is used to refer to a subset of people. Namely, those who watch a specific show.

When many is used in (B), it is used in a general sense.

I crossed (B) off because I thought these two instances of "many" were very different.

Say 200 people watch a certain show. Let's say many people, in this instance, is 150 people. In the general sense, this might not be considered many people, since many is a relative term. I mean, if we're just talking generally, who knows what many is.

I know some of us have been there, when you are sitting in front of your LSAT material and thinking to yourself " DO I really want to study on this beautiful day?" I have certainly been there and I am experiencing that right now, it's about 100 degrees in New York and very sunny, and all my friends are at the beach/pool/ waterparks! I am just sitting at a desk in the library really tired/bored of the LSAT even though I know I have to study. I was wondering has this happened to anyone, and if so what do you usually do? Also quick question about how the LSAT has had an impact on your personal life. I know the LSAT has strained my relationship with my girlfriend as well as my friends. My girlfriend was more understanding and actually encourages me to study but sometimes I feel guilty because I know she wants to hang out with me for the day ( My girlfriend is a senior at college just like me, and actually has a lot going for here. But she still finds time for me, but I can't say the same, I have been with her for over 7 years). My "friends" honestly stopped talking to me altogether ( we were a clique of 5 people who basically grew up with each other since we were in middle school/ high school). They just ignore me now and always tell me I do not have time for them ( they really do not have anything going for them, they are all college drop outs and work full time). I didn't mean to sound harsh in the last statement but a majority of my neighborhood is like that ( I am from the projects of New York). So I was wondering has anyone else had any similar experiences or stories they would like to share? I know the LSAT is a lot of stress but extraneous factors may also be leading to more stress, so I decided to talk about it with 7SAGE, because maybe someone may be experiencing similar situations and talking about it helps relieve my stress. So feel free to share your story or comment on mine!

I just looked at my Academic Summary Report. First thought was.... WTF! This is so confusing. I have no idea what the first part is all about. I scrolled down to the bottom and saw a degree GPA, and a cumulative GPA. Which one is considered my LSDAS

I just had a professor that is writing a LOR for me ask for a CV. After a Google search, I now know what that is. What all do I need to include on a CV?

7Sagers,

This Monday, at 9 pm EST, I’ll do a second round of live lightning consultations.

What’s a lightning consultation? Basically, I’ll try to be as helpful as I can in five minutes. We might brainstorm personal statement topics, strategize about addenda, or discuss LORs.

If you want a free five-minute consultation about your law school application, I’ll need you to post a few things in the comments section:

I’ll get through as many people as I can in one hour, working in a mostly random order. Please don’t post to this thread if you can’t show up for the consultation. If you do show up, test your microphone beforehand. Make sure you have a strong connection to the internet, and that you can speak and be heard on GoToMeeting. If your microphone isn’t working, I’ll have to skip you.

To join, just follow this link: https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/196286165

We’ll use Citrix GoToMeeting. The meeting ID is 196-286-165.

Can someone please explain this question to me? It's the principle question and mentions distant periods etc. The correct answer choice is A and I literally have no idea how it is correct. Help

I know that the Logic Games Bundle doesn't appear anymore on 7sage but where can I go purchase them? Do I have to get LSATs 1-35 and do it that way?

Any advice on identifying the experimental section on upcoming LSAT with ease..

Dear 7Sagers,

Quick announcement here: We're making changes to Ultimate+

(1) All U+ accounts will have access to video explanations for PTs 1 through Present (77) where "Present" will be updated to reflect the addition of new PTs from LSAC over time. Now, this is not going to happen indefinitely. (Like we're not going to continue this policy through PT 145.) But, for the foreseeable future, we're not changing this policy. No action required on your part - this will be added automatically.

(2) All U+ accounts will soon have access to explanations for PTs A, B, C, and C2. No action required on your part - this will also be added automatically.

(3) All U+ accounts will have access to David Busis' Admissions Starter course. We announced this here. Please email Dillon to have this added to your U+ account. (dillon@7sage.com) David is an amazing editor, writer, and teacher.

If you'd like to upgrade to U+ in order to get these addition of course you may do so.

Lastly, LSAC will release PT 145 about 23 years from now assuming well, lots of things. Crazy!

My plan was to wait until 4 weeks to rip into the most recent ptests (60s and 70s). Someone who took the LSAT told me to do these recent tests closer to the test date since they are fresh tests that gauge my skills and give me a good indication of what I'll score.

But I'm thinking that it's more important to get a feel for the modern tests earlier than it is to get an indication of what I'll score. Maybe I should just get started on these already?

(p.s. I've already done some p-tests in those range: 60-64, 68, 69, 70, 72)

Thanks, y'all!

Besides you are getting better at solving LSAT questions, do you think or not think studying LSAT helped you to grow in some way?

Hey everyone,

I am thinking about upgrading to Ultimate + but when I looked at it, it only says +3 months access when I upgrade to Ultimate+, but when I log out and look at it it says 18 months access, does that mean if I upgrade from starter I only get a total of 6 months (3 mos from starter, 3 mos of Ultimate) or are my reading skills so messed up I only understand RC passages?

[Admin note: Ultimate+ includes 12 months now]

Is there printed material that goes along with the course that I can print all at once, or should I just print the pages as I go when I get to them?

I purchased 7Sage about 2 months ago to help my prep for the September (and maybe, but hopefully not December) LSAT. My purchase of 7Sage was primarily driven by my weakness in Logic Games. I just completed the LG curriculum, and I have improved tremendously since starting. The 7Sage method is definitely the best and simplest method I have learned. I am, however, still struggling with timing. What should I do in these final six weeks to really be ready for test day? I've seen that some people just do full sections over and over again... what are your thoughts?

I was watching J.Y explanation for PT 68 Game 2 and he mentions that the stimulus allows for one day to be empty, and later on using the rules he infers that none of the days will be empty. But during the time section when I was reading the stimulus I thought otherwise because it mentions "hearing takes exactly three days" and I automatically thought this means at least one witness per day because if one day is empty the hearing does not takes exactly three days but happens between Monday to Wednesday.

My question is that, did I get lucky or I am allowed to make such deduction?

Hey everyone!

I'm currently studying to take the December LSAT, and am at about 75% through the CC (will have studied for a little less than a year by December) and am really trying to let it sink in as much as possible and have been taking my time with it.

I'd love to be ready by December, but know that it's better to set yourself a goal score and not an LSAT ultimatum.

Is anyone studying for December with a February retake in mind? This December would be my second take, and February would be my third and final.

Most school's I've talked to (at the D.C. LSAC Forum) stated that they still accept the February LSAT score and it didn't sound like it would be too crazy detrimental to my application process.

Know anyone that took the February LSAT with a happy application outcome?

Suggestions? Ideas?

This is a method of reasoning question. I don't understand answer choices A and C. If someone could explain those to me, I would be most appreciative!

A) Literary theory could be considered myths. What throws me off of this one is scientific explanation, couldn't it mean that the second part of J's argument "Myths are not told..because they are no longer bodies of generally accepted truths.." be considered a scientific explanation supporting his first claim? The only thing that makes me think you could eliminate this answer choice is the word problem, because he and G never indicate that there is a problem of myths only giving different explanations (one saying it is solely in the traditional world, and another saying it can also be in the modern world).

B) While G advances an analogous situation, this answer choice can be eliminated because it is not address the generally accepted truths aspect and acknowledges its example is not a narrative which would not be included in J's version of myth.

C) I have no idea other than J does address a distinction between traditional societies and the modern world.

D) It does not do this, regardless this is irrelevant.

E) It does call into question J's version/definition of myth by showing an example where a myth is not a narrative but still operates as a myth.

Please help! Thanks!!

Hello all,

I am currently a third year student in law and political science at the university of Lyon, France, and I am planning to go to the US or Canada for the first year of my masters degree in international law. We have access to several universities for that kind of exchange, and I thought it would be interesting to have American students give me advice on which ones are better and why. The universities I'm interested in are:

- USA: Boston university, the university of Southern California and Brooklyn law school

- Canada: McGill, Montreal, and the university of British Columbia in Vancouver.

Could you guys tell me what you think about them and which one would be better according to you, especially for someone looking to study international law?
