Hey guys!

Looking for some advice :) I have been studying for about the past 8 months, and have gone from a diagnostic of 144 (-14 LG, -12 LR, -14 RC) to my most recent pt of 167 (-2 LG, -4 LR, -5 RC). I am shooting for a 170 on this June LSAT, which is 3 weeks away. I'm taking a break from work so that I can just go all in on studying. I've finished the entire 7sage syllabus (which is the main thing that has helped me so far), and am halfway through Reading Comp Hero.

What should I focus on for the next 3 weeks? Any advice would be greatly appreciated:)

Feeling Lost

I'm hoping to get a 170 on the June test (6/6/24). Usually I do the best with logic games (-1/-0). Lately, I'm feeling like I'm regressing as I get closer to my test date. Any tips? Ways to stay motivated?

Here's a breakdown of my PTs (I've been taking 2-3 a week for the past few weeks, but my earliest one was 6 months ago):

PT66 - 149 (earliest)

PT68 - 149

PT20 - 159

PT47 - 165

PTJ07 -163

PT72 - 163

PT76 - 167

PT77 - 162

PT79 - 167

PT80 - 171 (when I started doing 2-3 a week)

PT81 - 166

PT82 - 168

PT83 - 177

PT84 - 168

PT85 - 169

PT86 - 166

PT87 - 167

PT88 - 166 (today)

Any help/advice/motivation would be appreciated :)

Missing Foundational Videos

Is there any way to get an estimated timeline for when the videos will be released for: Conditional and Set Logic, Logic of Intersecting Sets, Formal Logic Flaws, Logic of Causation. I appreciate it takes time to record the videos, however I find it much harder to focus and absorb the lessons without the audio component. If it seems the videos will take too long before August, I would rather try to learn these lessons from other sources. I appreciate any feedback or advice!

Hi all! Does anyone have any wrong answer journals or LSAT checklist templates for curriculum V2 (for those taking the LSAT after June 2024)? I would love to keep track of my answer choices and progress and just started the logical reasoning section. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!

This is the one I was previously using, but no longer works since I switched to V2: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gpOWHerIw8RBo1PbgIJtN9wIpIKpTl3SFClYzaEBsIo/edit#gid=0

Hey everyone! I'd really appreciate some advice on this issue as I am scheduled to take the test in a few weeks and am really struggling with conditional mapping/translations. I have already read the conditional logic section of Loophole and done the majority of the 7sage lessons on conditional logic. I definitely understand the basics, but when it comes to mapping actual long and complicated sentences and linking conditions I am struggling. I either completely mess them up or when I do get them right I take way too long. In a perfect world, I'd have time to go through and re-watch every single 7sage video and do every single SA, NA, and parallel reasoning/flaw question there is, but I need to be practical since I only have a few weeks. As of right now I am just drilling and drilling and watching explanation videos when I get something incorrect in the hopes that it will click in time. If anyone has any recommendations or advice PLEASE let me know, I am desperate lol. Thanks!!

Hello! Does someone have some insight on this problem?

I selected E. fails to consider that the individuals judging and disagreeing about works of art may be experts in making such judgements.

I chose this because it demonstrates an "objective" or at least standardized professional manner of reviewing art.

The correct answer is D. fails to consider that people who disagree about the artistic value of a given painting may be incorrectly applying the same evaluation criteria to that painting

Three Ways to Weaken?

What are the three ways to weaken an argument again? I only remember alternative hypothesis. I swear there was a lesson that taught this but I don't remember which one.

Hi, this is Ben. I am studying LSAT as a Full-timer.

My cousin who went to T6 with over 170 advised me to form a study group, and I totally agree with her detailed tactics to be a successful study group. So, as advised, I am going to make it very tight so that all my members can get some points over 170.(at least 170)

(Ground Rules)

  • Promises must be kept. (study schedules, pt homeworks etc)
  • Be dedicated. We can definitely go further with trust each other. I am a dedicated one so you should be too.
  • details can be added with full agreement between members.
  • Your current stats are not a concern. below 160s are welcome but you should be dedicated no matter what.

    If you are interested, then reply to this post for your invitation.

    Once I gather 3 buddies, I will delete this post, invite you all and we are going to set up schedules and progress per session. My study will continue until all members get at least 170.

    Ben.

    Currently studying full time, trying to maintain a consistent study schedule for the June exam. Doing mostly okay, but some days I've been having difficulty staying focused and motivated.

    We don't need to share a schedule or anything, the goal is to just keep each other accountable for whatever goals we have for that specific day. Ideally, we'll hop on Zoom at 9AM(KST), cams off, and share study goals we set for that day, and report any missed any goals(if there is one) from the previous day. The whole process ideally takes less than 15 minutes to make sure everyone can stick to whatever schedule they're keeping to. I already have another irl friend who's studying for something else but will join us when we start.

    The group will meet every Monday~ Friday, excluding weekends, until June 6th. Because of the nature of the group, we're mostly just looking for people who are either in Korea, or are in similar time zones where 9AM KST is still early morning.

    My friend and I will be starting next Monday. If anyone's interested, DM me and I'll shoot you a Zoom meeting link.

    Will there ever be answer choice where both authors disagree with it and that would be considered that they both agree (to disagree) answer?

    (Example: LSAT 80, Logical Reasoning I, Q18)

    This is a both agree question, however, I was wondering if there could be a scenario where both of them disagree on an answer choice (and that would be considered an agree to disagree)? Feel like there’s a simple explanation for this but I was thinking about it.

    So, I am starting 7Sage today. I plan to take the LSAT in January (giving myself enough time to study) for around 6 hours weekly. I have ADHD, so I was planning on using the study schedule that 7Sage can make for the added structure. I don't see a diagnostic test on there. I found the link, but should I hold off on it? I do want to know my baseline and what my natural strengths are, but I've never been great at taking standardized tests, and I am worried that if I get a low score, I will be discouraged.

    Am I cooked?

    RC can kick rocks. I have been studying my ass off to get better at RC and have watched my scores get significantly WORSE! WTF, this shit makes no sense. I am consistent -3 to -5 on LR and consistent -0 to -3 LG, but my RC is anywhere from -4 to -12. And the worst part is that I don't even know what to do. I have tried reading like it is super exciting, slowing down to just comprehend, focusing on language strength, identifying main points, I've hired multiple tutors, and done the RC hero method. Bro, why does none of that shit work? What do I even do? Am I cooked?

    I finished 1L at the Fordham Law. I want to share.

    The Cost of Attendance was $116,782

    Tuition was (the following year more) $71,224

    Class size for 1L: 93 (the number of people in my classroom).

    My points about Fordham law:

    The quality of education: as low as it gets.

    The professors need to be more engaging and interested in their topic.

    Most students would not attend the classes if not the mandatory attendance.

    I have a law degree and practiced law outside of the US. And I loved it. But experience in Fordham law school would make me feel the opposite.

    Hi! I was wondering if anyone was in a similar position or can help guide me in my current situation. I did two years of undergrad at one Canadian university, and then I transferred to another. Since not all my credits transferred over, and because I did not complete a full course-load in my second year of undergrad, I have to do an additional fifth year. I know each law schools are different whether they look at your best two years or your cumulative GPA, but do they look at your transcripts from the school you transferred from and take those marks into account for GPA calculation/or as one of your best academic years? When I transferred to my new school, my GPA was wiped clean. As well, I don’t require to take a full year’s worth of courses in order to graduate this year in my fifth year, but if I do extra courses to bump my GPA, will they count those even if they are additional courses not required for me to graduate? I have been trying to do research these questions on chat forums and on Canadian Law school websites but I have had no luck.

    I appreciate any help!

    Thanks!

    I have been immensely stressed about this test. It has monopolized my thoughts since I took it last Nov. and didn't score that well. However, if any of you are like me, maybe it will help to hear this: you ARE capable. Put your game face on, and show these test-makers who the real boss is. Know that your knowledge and preparation will not fail you on test day. The hard work you put in will pay off! Keep striving and keep hoping, because you can achieve anything you put your mind to. Best of luck to all of us next month and to those in months to come. LET'S DO THIS!!!

    LSAT exam in june

    Hello, I am a junior will be a senior next semester and I have been studying for the lSAT since January. I got the Kaplan book and read front to back, completed all the practice exams on kahn academy, have a tutor who i work with frequently, and have done many lessons to improve my scores but i am still in a range of 146-153 ( scored 153 once and it was my best otherwise i get 149,148,147,or 146 alot). Anyway im taking my very first lsat exam on june 7th and i feel like at this point im not going to do well. I have a 3.9 GPA playing Divison one soccer. I am very dedicated and really want to get into law school but have never been the best test taker. i never get to answer the last 5 LR questions normally to my best abilities because i am rushing with time. Im not sure what i should do at this point. I have spent so much money and feel like a lot of time to do well on this exam but if any one has any advice they could give me i would really appreciate it!

    Hi everyone!!

    I would love to create a welcoming group for LSAT studying. I am in greater LA area near West Hollywood/Burbank. Please let me know if anyone would like to join!! I can create a discord/Group Me. Currently studying for August but that may change due to my scores lol.

    Shoot me message if interested!

    So I am taking the LSAT in September with the new revised model, so I am skipping the LG sections and focusing hard on LR and RC. I wanted to ask what is the best routine to integrate drills into the study session.

    I hear a lot of the drills come from PT, and burning though Drills means come PT time, you have essentially already seen some of the questions prior (do I have this right?).

    So I wanted to ask if this is the same for post August PTs aswell, and for those taking it without LR, how are you using your PTs and Drills

    Any help is valued. Thanks!

    Can someone help me with the word "only." It is a word that is giving me so many headaches when trying to do conditionals. I seem to be having trouble when only is mixed with "will"

    I am doing the skill builders on this lesson - https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/skill-builder-kick-it-up-to-the-domain/

    I am having trouble with question #12:

    High school teachers who teach AP courses will only tutor students they believe to be in danger of failing and they believe that only students who missed Monday’s class are in danger of failing.

    From previous classes, we have learned that "only" is a necessary conditional indicator. But when it comes to statements above, I seem to get confused. In cases like these, does only modify the "second action"

    I will only go to class on Mondays and Wednesdays.

    Tim will only write the exam when he is ready

    I will only make eggs if they are fresh

    Would this be the same as:

    I will go to class only on Mondays and Wednesdays

    Tim will write the exam only when he is ready

    I will make eggs only if they are fresh

    I am so stress with this upcoming test. First, because it will be the last with LG, so I am expecting the worst, to have the most difficult games ever. Second, I am getting loose in LR cause my focus is LG that I am getting incorrect responses, and when I do the blind review i get them correct, and then I think why I cannot think when I am under time pressure. Can someone give me an advise ??? I know my Core curriculum fundamentals are there.
