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!!

Febbers! We’re less than 6 weeks away! Come to Group BR tonight!

Wednesday, December 23rd at 8PM ET: PT64

IF YOU DON’T CLICK THIS LINK YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE BR GROUP

February BR Group Schedule: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/5520/february-test-takers-group-br-schedule-very-tentative

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.

    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! :)

    Tuesday, Dec. 22nd at 8PM ET: Principle LR Questions with @c.janson35 and @nicole.hopkins

    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.

    I place a because after the statements of interest in the stimulus and the statement that makes sense with a because coming after it I deem to be the conclusion. Is this an ideal strategy for argument labeling and mp questions?

    I did not understand how and why he figured out which parts of the sentences he could use to make conditional statements from the video. He did not use conditional logic for the first sentence even though it had key words "not" and "are".

    His diagram had:

    LECC--> ELCI

    ELCI--> LCI

    LCI--> IH

    I don't understand how he took from the sentence, "many people would do so" and instead wrote LCI. I'm just confused.

    I started prepping for the LSAT about 2 weeks ago in hopes of being ready for the Feb 2016 test and apply late in the cycle. I've been going through the video lecture (about 20 hours in) and just took my first PT (2007 LSAC Practice Test) this morning. I scored 164 which was a little disappointing since I am aiming to score 99% (174+). What is a realistic score increase by the February exam date assuming I continue to study 3-5 hours a day (I have a full time job)?

    I was just curious if anyone knows much about the loan forgiveness for those who opt to practice public interest law. Is it a program sponsored by the individual schools, the employers (gvmt, non-profit etc)? Do you know if there are a lot of restrictions involved? Is anyone planning on utilizing this option?

    0

    So, thus far I've figured out one of my biggest problems is that I have trouble taking PTs as if it were a real test day setting. I was looking for courses that just offered weekly live-proctor settings, unfortunately I had no such luck (unless I were to enroll in a full course, and sell a kidney).

    Does anyone know of a course or group that does just live proctored LSAT PTs? If not, would anyone in the San Antonio - Austin area be interested in getting together every so often (weekly, bi-weekly or monthly even) to take live proctored PTs??

    I know of a few class rooms here in San Antonio we can use, and a few people willing to proctor. I did this alone once and it went really well. But I figure if I'm going to go through the trouble of setting up live proctored PTs, other people should benefit too.

    Any who, I'd appreciate it if someone let me know if they know of groups out there already meeting for PTs, or if anyone is interested in starting one. :)

    I'm currently scoring in the low 160s, aiming for a 170. I want to know what you guys do for skipping questions and when you skip questions in LR. Do you usually read the stimulus and immediately skip if you didn't understand, etc? Do you not skip until you read the answer choices? Is there some type of strategy where you do all the easier ones like 1-14 and then the last 2-3 questions in the section which tend to be easier. Thanks

    Also, I'd like to know if most are you are reading the stimulus once, twice, three times, etc in general to answer a tougher ?.

    I get why (E) is the answer here, there's a flaw between the premise and sub-conclusion. Just because a majority are unaware doesn't necessarily mean they disprove of the attempt.

    But I'm having a tough time eliminating (D). If we just isolate the sub-conlusion (premise) and main conclusion we get: Since a majority of them obviously disapprove of THE attempt, graduate students at this university should not unionize. Ok, so they disapprove of THIS attempt, but isn't there the possibility that they may want to unionize for other reasons, which is what (D) says? Or maybe I'm just reading this wrong. Any help woulf be greatly appreciated!
