Hey friends—

I'm working on a special something-something. I need your help!

In the comments, please share (ranging from one-word answers to full lengthy posts) your answer[s] to this question:

What makes 7sage unique?

Here are some examples:

—Complicated ideas broken down in simple digestible language.

—A dose of inspiration to help you push through the pain and self-doubt.

—An honest approach that presumes that you have the capacity to understand even the hardest questions on the LSAT.

But we want to know ... what makes 7sage unique FOR YOU? Any part of the 7sage experience—from the analytics to the forums to the problem sets to the Dragon Ball analogies.

evals?

When doing my first letter of red I put my prof. for a evil. she did it too. But my other prof. I just left it. I heard since they're a new thing is it even worth assigning it to schools? I did it to "increase my chances" but I think someone on here said they're annoying to the admissions office. I think it was pacifico lol not sure. Should I just delete the eval? Thanks for your inputs!

I feel like this is a really silly question, but I tried searching on Google and on the forums here and couldn't find anything... So here goes: When do we get to write our names on the answer sheet on test day?

I've been using the 7sage proctor and the section 1 instructions aren't long enough for me to write my name (I have a very long name...), and the proctor mentions to not write on the answer sheet. So do we get to write our names before the section 1 instructions are read? Maybe someone who's written the test before could shed some light on this (laughably simple) question... Thanks in advance!

I find myself getting answers incorrect because of key information in a stimulus's background info.I usually underline the conclusion and bracket the premises/support, but then i'll get an answer incorrect because the background info had something important. How do I fix this problem? The Trainer teaches us to not worry about Background and only focus on the relationship between premise and conclusion, but then something like this happens.

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:

  • For the newbies: Add me on Skype, using handle dmlevine76 and PM your email for Google Hangout.
  • For the regulars: If for some reason you're not in the group conversation[s] already, just message me on Skype.
  • For everyone: take the PT under timed conditions; BR as you are able; join us for all or part of the call—everyone is welcome.
  • Note: For the purposes of the call, we like to check our group blind review score together at the very end of the call :) So at least don't say ... "No guys, really, it's D, I checked it.” Use your reasoning to win the argument.
  • These groups work best when folks from ALL stages of prep and with all different goals join in! Not just for "super-preppers" and definitely not just for the casual LSATer (does such a person exist?).
  • The only expectation anyone has for these calls is for you to have fun and ask questions as you desire. We are just a bunch of LSAT lovers who gather via Skype and intellectually slaughter each test.

    Feb re-takers, what do you suggest is the best way to go about PTing? I did all of the 70+ tests, most of 50-69, getting ready for December, so now I worry that my LR drilling isn't as effective because I recognize a fair amount of the questions. For example, I just did PT 63 and I recalled quite a few of the LR questions as I've done these questions before in preparation for December. LR is my strong point, and I know I can make gains on LG/RC too, but I wanted to bolster LR because there is a small, and some what trickier shift in LR stimuli in PTs 70-76.. Through the analytics on here I can see that I've dipped a considerable amount in the 70+ tests in LR. Should I just focus on the more recent exams and BR the hell out of them, or should I focus on earlier exams like in the 30s/40s for fresh(er) questions ? When it comes to RC and LG, I feel that those can be recycled because you can always get quicker in your deductions for LG and more proficient with RC.. Thanks for the input!

    Curious Question.

    Has anyone gone back and identified the percentage of where the Fake section in the Test's lie? As in 20% it is first 30% it is last etc? I am just curious. Also it can show up anywhere correct?

    Accepted :)

    Hi!

    I kind of thought I would never make this post. I'm a long time 7Sage user!

    I wasn't going to apply this cycle (I thought my LSAT was too low), but my boss urged me to apply and I was accepted early in the cycle yesterday. :)

    I could not have done it without 7Sage and this amazing community of people.

    & I am so happy I never have to touch an LSAT book again. :) mwahaha. I'm also from Canada :). YAY ok. Thanks 7Sage!!!

    I know speed comes with accuracy, but I am having trouble over 15 questions per LR section. I usually run out of time between 13-15 questions. I know I can't answer every single question, but I at least would like to have time to answer 20 per LR and I'll take random guesses with the remaining ones

    Does anyone know what the protocol is for requesting late applications to be considered for review? i.e. University of Toronto & Osgoode Law Schools.

    I'm awaiting the Dec. LSAT score release and hoping to go the a U.S. school but am applying to local institutions as a safety net and can't gather much from relevant information from their websites.

    Does one just send an e-mail requesting a late application to be considered and wait for a response or is it best to send the e-mail with unofficial transcripts and resumé attached?

    Thanks so much advance!!

    I'm confused how to write the conditional logic for this. Can somebody please explain this? When I see how the video skipped over labeling the first sentence like a premise, I got confused why he then uses it in conditional logic (TMU---> IASC)? I also got confused with what to do with the third sentence. I thought its a conclusion because of the keywords thus, until I got to the last sentence. I understand how he got the conclusion as /TMU.

    PT49.S4.Q08 - ancient relic

    I had it down to A and D and chose D. With that said, can someone destroy my reasoning for why A is not the right answer so that this sticks...

    Ok, so what if pollen is transported from one region to another by wind, and human movement, we would have to assume that the pollen transferred is indistinguishable from the pollen that is KNOWN to have been unique to that area.

    Corey and Nicole are going to help us get our principles down. They have a little pre-lesson homework: understand the pleasure principle.

    We no longer need to be on the lookout for the link for this conversation link.

    Here it is: https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/380207005

    Only 100 spots are available! First come, first served! :)

    Fine Print (NOTE: you all want to be lawyers; reading fine print is what lawyers do, so READ IT!)

    • We are NOT going to use Skype for these sessions.

  • Instead, we are going to use GoToMeeting.
  • There is a space limit of 25 per session. This limitation is dictated by both GoToMeeting and the function of these workshops, which is interactivity. If we had more people on, the interaction would be scant, at best.
  • Approximately, one half hour before the the scheduled workshop will begin, a link will appear on the forums, inviting you into the workshop. We now have a space limit of 100. Yay!
  • If you want to attend these sessions, you MUST click that link.
  • Here’s an FAQ on GoToMeeting.com: http://www.gotomeeting.com/meeting/online-meeting-support
  • Then, download the application (for your computer or mobile device). No need. Just click the link.
  • Attendance will be on a “first come, first served” basis.
  • Once the workshop is full, it’s full. Nothing to be done.
  • Chances are, if you’re going to be late, there is a strong possibility you won’t make it in.
  • There will be no recordings of interactive workshops.
  • If there is demand, we will repeat interactive workshops at different times.
  • These groups work best when folks from ALL stages of prep and with all different goals join in! Not just for "super-preppers" and definitely not just for the casual LSATer (does such a person exist?).
  • The only expectation anyone has for these calls is for you to have fun and ask questions as you desire. We are just a bunch of LSAT lovers who gather via GoToMeeting and intellectually slaughter each test.

    question about rec letters

    If I have someone writing a rec letter, is he allowed to submit two letters (one that is school specific and one that is general for all law schools)? Would I send him the rec letter request twice?

    Please let me know!!

    Hey Gang!

    Before the June-testers's BR Group jumps into the PT phase, the 7Sage tutors would like to offer some free interactive sessions to workshop different fundamental skills. Think of it like a lab in a Science class except you won’t have to dissect anything. We have a schedule in place for the first two weeks. Here are the topics and 7Sage tutors who are running them:

    Times Are EST

    Active Reading (@c.janson35) - Wed Dec 9, 2015 8 pm

    Blind Review (@nicole.hopkins) - Fri Dec 11, 2015 8pm

    POSTPONED. Possible replacement is in the works.

    FIRST JUNE BR GROUP ( PT 29) Wed Dec 16, 2015 8pm

    NEW: RC Question Types (@"Quick Silver”) Sat Dec 19, 2015 12pm

    Principle LR Questions (@c.janson35 and @nicole.hopkins) - Tues Dec 22, 2015 8pm

    Assumption/Flaw (TBA) - Sat Dec 26, 2015 8 pm

    While this is geared for the June test-taker, all are welcome. If these are successful, hopefully, we’ll have more throughout the year. Hope to see you there.

    NOTE: There are still a ton of details to work out between now and then, but if you’re interested in attending, please let us know in the comments (please specify which workshop(s) you plan on attending). This will really help us to figure out which platform to choose to provide these workshops.
