Hey Guys,

While 7Sage lists 19 different flaw types, The Trainer lists 3 (piece does not equal puzzle, apples do not equal oranges, and 1+1 does not equal 3). I'm a little confused - can the 19 different flaw types fall under these 3 categories? If so, do you prefer going by 7Sage or the Trainer's methods when doing flaw questions?

Thanks so much!

Hey guys!

I'm still a bit new to this website, so I apologize if there are other threads that are similar to this one. I'm looking to see if there are any students close to the Toronto area that are planning to write the December 2015 LSAT. Which law schools are you interested in applying to, and what mark are you hoping to achieve? I am not certain on where I would like to go just yet, and am instead focusing on obtaining a high score on the upcoming test.

Would love to chat with fellow students in the area. Always nice to talk to other students about their plans and/or experiences :)

Saturday, Dec. 19th at 12PM ET: RC Question Types with @"Quick Silver"

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.

  • 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).

  • 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.

    MSS questions

    I'm doing really badly on this question type. I am going to rewatch the videos and lesson for this question type, but does anyone have any advice on how I can improve?

    When I did this question type in the past, I got frustrated and skipped to the next question type, but this time I want to master it and do well on it. If someone could give me some constructive advice, I would be most appreciative!

    I'm studying the curriculum and found the negation of "all" a little confusing.

    I understand that the logical opposite of "some" is just "none."

    But isn't "not all" the negation of "all"?

    In other words, does "some... not..." mean the same thing as "not all"?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello Fellow 7Sagers,

    I was recently emailed by the Georgetown Law Admissions Office asking if I would like to participate in an in-person interview with an alumni from the Law Center (of course I said yes!). I was wondering if anyone could provide any insight into the kinds of questions to expect or were actually asked during the interview. Thanks in advance!

    Really need study buddy

    Hello my fellow 7Sagers, I'm studying for the June LSAT, and am in desperate need of a study buddy. I'd love to keep each other accountable (more or less according to the June BR group schedule graciously made by @DumbHollywoodActor) and work through concepts/teach other stuff/BR together. I think Skype would be a great forum for us to do this (unless we somehow freakishly live near each other). Please, please reach out to me if you think this is something you'd like to do! Thanks!

    Feb Test Advice..

    Hey everyone, I wanted to see if anyone could share some insight on their strategy for Feb. I took the test in Dec. but cancelled the score. Anyway, I was averaging around 164/168BR through pt 69, then dipped to 160/164BR through Pts 70-76. I believe I have a stronghold over LR.. I feel like I just haven't fully adjusted to the nuances with the 70+ tests. That's not to say they're harder per se, but one can't deny a subtle shift in LR stimuli and harder RC passages --- sans the most recent administration ;) . I average around -5.4 for LR, -7.4 for games... and -9.7 for RC on PTs 70-76. Where do you guys think I can gain the biggest improvement in time for the feb exam? Should I focus on games? I know I can do better with RC, but I feel like I can make quicker gains in the other sections... thoughts? Should I start PTing asap or in Jan?

    Hi! I'm looking for someone to Blind Review Sections/entire exams with. I have found this to be VERY helpful for me in the past and for other people I have worked together with. We would take an LR section/entire exam together, and then each person would go over every other question, articulating why every wrong answer is wrong and why every right one is right. Let me know if you're interested! Send me a message.

    Question Bank Access

    Hi @"Dillon A. Wright"

    I had purchased the Game pack when it was available but all of those tests (below 36) do not show up in my LG question bank. It would be really convenient if they did. Is that just an oversight on my account, or not a feature available?

    I noticed a few of our users having the same issue with the video player, so I'm posting this quick fix in hopes that it helps all of you out!

    If you're unable to see the videos or are getting constant html5 issues, the first thing you want to try is clearing your cache and cookies. This varies from browser to browser (and operating systems), so you'll have to look up how to do it on your browser.

    If you're still having issues after that, go into your settings (http://classic.7sage.com/account/) and make sure "Use Flash Player" is checked off, then click save.

    This should fix your problem, but please note you won't have any of the fancy playback features anymore! (Meaning you won't be able to make J.Y. talk like a chipmunk anymore, which is pretty funny.)

    Hey everyone,

    Long story short, the plan was to sit the October test. I ended up moving it to December, from which I withdrew. The new plan is to take the June test, and apply for the 2017 cycle.

    My question is, is there any benefit to taking the June test over the October test? From what I've gathered, by applying around June, you end up competing with less people, for more seats. I've also read that there isn't much of a difference.

    In any case, I don't intend on registering for the LSAT until I am absolutely certain that I am ready.

    On a totally unrelated note, do you guys take notes while watching the videos in the curriculum? Just curious. That is currently what I am doing and I am starting to realize that it is slowing me down drastically - can't tell if it's helping or not...

    Study schedule question

    Early on in my decision to take the LSAT, I took the June 2007 PT. I did this to see what the test was like and how I would score in a non-timed situation. Now I have started using 7Sage to prepare for the June 2016 LSAT. For one of the lessons this week, I am supposed to take the June 2007 PT, which I foolishly wasted early on in my preparation. My question is, should I take PT 34 in place of the June 2007 PT? Or should I skip the lesson entirely?

    Thanks!
