I don't understand what is the difference between the biconditional used in the video G(-) /W and when you write the conditional G-> /W? If the biconditional means never together and always apart why can't we use the conditional. The conditional is going from positive to negative, which means you can't have both, and can only have one or the other.

This may be random but surely someone on here knows this answer... I can't find it anywhere on Google.

I just want to know simply how I will be notified of acceptance (or not). Will it be visible on LSAC? If so, where? Should I expect and email or a letter in the mail or both? I just want to know where to look because I am becoming very impatient haha! Thanks for any answers or advice!

Also, if it matters the school I applied to is SMU, and I did the early application thing ...idk if each school does it differently or what

Defendants who can afford expensive private defense lawyers have a lower conviction rate than those who rely on court-appointed public defenders. This explains why criminals who commit lucrative crimes like embezzlement or insider trading are more successful at avoiding conviction than are street criminals.

Does anyone have any advice for the morning of the test on how to get your brain awake? I know there have been plenty of posts about a good breakfast, caffeine, etc., but I was wondering about brain exercises in particular. I was thinking of watching about 30 minutes of the training videos (basically the indroductory video of each type of LR question) and quickly reviewing the four logical indicator groups the morning of the test in order to get my brain into 'LSAT Mode'. Does anyone like, dislike, or have any suggestions about this idea?

Hey Feb Peeps! I know the test is this week, but we got work to do!

I’ll be there for PT 58, after I stop by at the Pep Rally!

Be sure to click the link of the conversation you’re attending and announce in the comments which group(s) you’re planning on attending.

Note:

December Test Takers! This is it! This is what you’ve all been waiting for! One last BR and then on Saturday, it’s game on!

My advice: taper down on effort. You don’t necessarily have to do nothing this week (especially LG. Use it or lose it), but this week should require less effort from you than the past 10 weeks have. In other words, don’t do 5 PTs this week. And if you can, don’t look at the score of any PTs you take this week. Confidence is so important for the LSAT, and you don’t want yours wrecked by one stupid score. Just take the PT and BR and then have fun discussing the test in a BR group. And that leads into the last piece of advice for this week: Have fun and remember this Saturday’s test is just PT 77. That’s it! Best of luck to all of you!

Hope to see tutors, mentors, and friends (maybe Mike Kim again :) ) at the Pep Rally. Show your support even if you aren’t taking it this Saturday!

Be sure to announce in the comments which group(s) you’re planning on attending.

Note:

If I decide to retake a PT that I have already taken just to rewrite and re-evaluate, is there a function for that?

It would be great to compare my previous score to my new one if that was possible.

Thanks in advance

Hey, I just started my 7Sage curriculum. I've read many positive reviews on the LSAT Trainer online. I'm considering combining the two together while I'm studying the fundamentals (before taking PTs). Can anyone give me some advice on that? Or any general opinions about the Trainer?

Thank you!

I'm looking to write February LSAT currently, averaging in the low 160s, (163 last PT) aiming for a 170. That gives me two months and change before February. I think I can make the jump to 170 but I see a lot of people recommending skipping February and aim for June. However, I feel as though I can hit my peak within the next two months. I think June would be dragging it on, don't think I'd even have enough material to last to June. What do you guys think? PS. I study approx 30-35 hrs a week. Thanks!

Whats the lowest ranked law school you would attend and why?

Ok I played around in undergrad a bit much and graduated with a 2.9 gpa. The schools I want to go to looks like I need to score a 158 to 162 to get in. I've been scoring low 150's in the PT'S. I am scheduled to take the LSAT in February. Any guidance or assistance anyone can provide is greatly appreciated. I have all of the power score bible books as well as the book from LSAC to study. My biggest issues have been with logic games....any guidance out there?

I am supposed to be taking the December LSAT, because of numerous reasons including school, work, and health issues I haven’t given my self enough time to study. I am in a predicament, if I don’t take the LSAT I will need to take a year off after my undergraduate (graduating spring 2016). I have great contacts at the moment in law schools, city officials, and law offices. I am not sure how long they will be there and on my side for so time is of the essence. If I take the LSAT this weekend I may do terrible and not even get into law schools. I am just trying to weigh my pros and cons and would love your opinions. I am not looking to go to any top school. Is it worth it to wait for the February or June LSAT? Would any schools accept the February 2016 LSAT to start in Fall 2016? How do you view taking the LSAT more than once, since I could possibly take the lsat this week and if I do terrible take the year off and take it a second time. Any info or opinions is greatly appreciated.

Is anyone not doing one?

I know a similar thread was created about which school is your dream school, but I thought I would create one about interests in the field of law. Which practice groups are you interested in? I guess I'll go first. I'm interested in litigation and transactional law.

I am wondering whether I should withdraw from the December test or to go ahead and just take it. My pt scores are around 168 and with my gpa below the medians at HYS, I need a 172 at least. I am hoping maybe the adrenaline of test day will give me a 5 point boost at least. Tonight I was -7 on the two LR sections combined, -3 on LG and -3 on RC. On test day, can I get to -2 on LR combined and -1 on RC and LG? Or should I swallow my pride and keep plugging away till June? I was planning on applying next fall anyway so there is no particular rush. But I thought I could get the test done now with 172+ score and confidently approach next fall's cycle. What do you wise folk think?

For example:

if N or M is selected, S is out.

Since or is in the sufficient condition, N and M are INDEPENDENTLY sufficient for S. So does that mean we can have just N selected, just M selected or both selected?

Also another example:

If S is out, N or M is selected.

Since or is in the necessary condition, N and M and JOINTLY necessary for S. What does that mean? Does that mean we need N and M BOTH to be selected? We can't have just N or just M selected? I'm so confused about this concept when applying to logic games... Please help, thanks!

Hi all!

My course says it's expiring on Dec. 4th. Does that mean I'll be able to access material on the 4th, or only until the 3rd?

Thanks! :)

Hey guys!

I just recently joined 7sage. I was originally planning on applying this cycle, but after taking the LSAT in October and getting a low score, I decided to take the December test. Well, December is here and guess what? I'm not ready! So I decided to postpone my applications for a year and focus on the LSAT. I'm planning on taking the June LSAT and applying for the Fall 2017 cycle. Anyone on the same boat? I need to kick up my prep a notch and I thought joining a community like 7sage would be helpful. You all seem very nice and welcoming! It seems like people enjoy the BR Groups (I'm still trying to learn the lingo around here.. lol).

A little about me:

Graduated from USC this past May, 22 years old and working at a Labor and Employment Law firm in Downtown LA.

I'm a URM and I'm the first to graduate college and apply to law school, so this is all new to me.

Some difficulties I've been having on the LSAT recently:

Well, I seem to be able to hyper-focus on sections and improve my score notably, but my other sections fall behind. I just can't seem to hold my best scores for all sections at the same time!

Some materials I've used:

LSAT Trainer

Logical Reasoning Bible

Blueprint LSAT Prep (Full in-class course)

Blueprint to Logic Games

Do you guys have any words of wisdom? I hope to get to know all of you guys throughout this journey!! Feel free to reach out!

While it’s not the day of the show, it’s very close...

Note:

Does anyone else think this PT was particularly difficult? It seemed like there were a ton of questions that more people put the wrong answer than the right, and I usually don't see that many on the LSAT Analytics like that. The RC really threw me off, and the second LR section. I'm taking the Dec test, and I guess I want to see if it's really just me.

Hello,

I am taking the December LSAT. This week I plan on taking PT72 and PT 74 I am debating if I should take PT75 OR PT76 as my last PT for the week. PT76 is a great indicator of how I might score on the December test, but I have been unable to find explanations for the test thus far. Should I take PT75 since I can just buy the 7sage explanations?

Thank you,

I'm taking the December LSAT this weekend in Munich, Germany. I foolishly assumed my test would be in the morning, but it turns out I don't have to be there until 2pm. Does anyone have any advice as to how I should spend my morning/lunch? Should I wake up early to study? Practice a few sections? Drink coffee? Relax and walk around town? Any insight is much appreciated.

From the stimulus, I got two conditional statements:

1) knowingly brings about misfortune --> should be blamed

2) not knowingly brings about misfortune --> should not be blamed

But because of the "for example" part, am I supposed to add "could not have reasonably have foreseen it" to the sufficient part of the 2nd cond'l statement I wrote above?

Also, Can anyone please explain why (A) is wrong?

Can I interpret "it did not occur to Riley" in (A) as "not knowingly brings about misfortune?"

I have not taken any of the PT's in the 60's or 70's except for PT62. As far as games go I do not want to miss something because I have never even seen a game like it, although I am sure it will still happen. What I mean by this is that the Circle game (for instance) is very unique so I have made sure I really have that game down. Are there any other games types that don't follow our normal set-ups? Also has their been any type of trend for games in the later PT'S? My last week I am really only going over stuff I want to review but am doing games games from Pt's that I have not seen yet in the lower PT Range <30. So anything dire I should see games wise in the most recent 25 PT's?

As always thank you. Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving

Brief background:

Top 10 Public School, right below median GPA for Harvard. Aiming for YHS, trying to lock in CCN or T14 with significant scholarship.

Graduated in June, and currently working as a legal secretary for top 100 biglaw firm. Gained exposure to different practice groups (m&a, securities, real estate, IP litigation, and overall litigation - state and federal courts).

I realized I want to do regulatory work (more specifically in international trade), and work in DC (seeing as to how DC is the center for regulatory work). Would applying to jobs in DC, then gaining work experience in DC (as a legal assistant/paralegal in biglaw or something related to international trade) then studying for the LSAT on the side and going to law school a few years from now make more sense as compared to staying in my current role and locking in a high LSAT in June then applying early next cycle? I feel that the WE as a legal secretary wouldn't be viewed very highly by YHS specifically (even though it is in a biglaw firm) as compared to more specialized WE in a higher role (paralegal or regulatory analyst).

Scored around 167 on PTs, and still have roughly 30 fresh PTs left. Very confident in 170+ LSAT in June, aiming for 175.

Thoughts?
