I'm on waitlist for NYU and I got a Kira invite-to do an interview. Any and all advice welcome and what kind of questions are they likely to ask, that I should be practicing? (other than why law/why NYU)

Hi,

I know that receiving consulting can make a student seem privileged and maybe even negatively impact their application if it came down to them and a student who did not receive that service, but what about tutoring? Would an explanation for that be more plausible? I am thinking of receiving it because I tend to not be a bad test taker and I have been able to save money. I’m also a first-generation, low-income student.

I've just started to take practice tests. I "wasted" two (testing w/LG before deciding to wait to test in August) and it feels as though there are less tests available on 7sage for the August 2024 format. I'm worried about running out before I'm done studying.

I see the most recent PT available is from 2020. It's been 4 years. Do very recent LSAT tests not become available anywhere?

hi guys. While I was using the analytics feature and the question bank to filter out mistaken questions, I found out it only includes mistaken questions in the PTs I've taken, but not all the questions I've done when drilling. Is there any way I can include the drilling questions as well?

I keep seeing people say that if you apply on the later side schools may run out of scholarship money, but then I see people talking about re-negotiating scholarships after the first seat deposit deadline in April.

Does anyone know how this works/how much money schools usually have for later negotiations? I'm trying to get an idea of how much scholarship money a school would have left for an application submitted on February 1st if it was a top application for the school. Would they still have enough scholarship money to give that top applicant a good scholarship or will that applicant have to try through renegotiations?

Hello

Any suggestions? I am able to get my wanted score only in BR.

On June it will be my 4th attempt.

Hi everyone! I am taking the June 2024 LSAT and am registered to take it in person at a testing center. The registration for choosing the day you take the test opens tomorrow for the Wednesday and Thursday test days and the day after for Friday and Saturday test days. Is there an advantage to choosing a certain day of the week? I had been planning on taking it on Saturday, June 8th because that works best with my schedule but wasn't sure if there is an advantage to taking it on one of the earlier days instead. Thanks in advance for any advice and insight on this!

TLDR: Stuck in 155 rut for months, despite 171 BR, want to break into 160s, wondering whether something fundamental is missing or its just be like that. Highly appreciate any insight!

Study Time so far:

Studied full time mid July to start of September 2023, took 2 PTs got 142, 145, was using 2015 Kaplan book, good foundation for logic but meh strategies

September-October: Break

November 2023-Mid January 2024: studied full time with 7sage Tutor and Live classes, PTing 153-157, BR 161-167. Took Jan LSAT, got 150, # of practice hours hit 300 a few days before. Improvement from diagnostic which is nice, and even now feel like I've learned so much.

February to now (May): Studying part-time (9-15 hrs a week, 450 study hours so far) while working, still PTing 155 but doing August 2024 format and went from BR 165 a month ago to now BR 171, so understanding has been improving at least. Sometimes skim LSAT Trainer for exercises and tips, and focused heavily on 7sage curriculum, found Phenomenon-Hypothesis strategies extremely useful. Worse questions usually are Flaw and RC Sci/Law passages with ambiguous author opinion.

Currently focusing on perfecting LR 10 in 10 drills for a section's first 10 questions, and can get 80-90% right, but realistically need 100%. Working on paraphrasing questions, and being efficient and accurate for easy to medium questions, especially for flaw Qs, as I stand to gain the most points there. I also think practicing staying as calm as possible during sections is starting to help, because I tend to make mistakes on questions I find really easy without the time pressure, and rush in general.

Consistently 8-10 wrong on LR, but 7-12 on RC. Have got only 2 wrong on RC or LR sometimes but each on different PTs, would love to get both at once lol.

Considering everything, with a BR 171 and a 155 actual, it seems there's potentially huge room to improve timed, and I appreciate the skills I'm learning through the LSAT, but its still somewhat demotivating being stuck in the mid-150s since November, especially with an improving understanding through BR. Granted, studying has been part-time and LR/RC is slower to improve than LG, so who knows. Unsure what to do, as I consistently BR, journal in-depth about right/wrong answers, ways to improve, what I misunderstood. I try to only do a PT when I feel I've worked on a large number of drills for problem areas. Want to say its the time pressure stress, but still get cooked on harder LR sections even when super calm and highly accurate with the easier questions, but we'll see. Have considered more tutoring/live classes.

Highly value anyone's thoughts!

Thanks for reading!

Do you Blind Review questions you didn’t have time to answer? Or just the ones you flagged?

At my university, we have discovery credits, which allow us to designate 1.0 credits of undergraduate courses as pass/fail on transcripts. Having recently completed my fourth year, I'm considering utilizing one of these credits for a course from last semester, which would boost my GPA. However, I'm curious about whether law schools might view the use of discovery credits unfavorably. If anyone has experience with this, please let me know (I am applying solely to canadian schools). Thank you.

I had a quick question regarding answer choice C: Most agree that introduced species can cause extinctions.

The passage says that ecologists realize that when humans introduce new species into existing ecosystems, even pristine, species-rich habitats are threatened. So I thought that because it says "ecologists think", we could say that "most ecologists agree that."

However, is the reason this is wrong because when the LSAT says "ecologists think", we don't know exactly how many ecologists that think that? E.g. it could be 2 ecologists think, but it would be not provable to say that it's "most ecologists think".

Just curious to see if this is an actually right interpretation of the difference between these concepts. Thanks.

Just reviewed two full sections that I scored in the August format on 7Sage and the old discussions seem to be missing from all the videos. Would be nice if the team could find a way to port over all of the old comments #help. Thanks!

Hello all,

I want to type out notes for questions while taking the logical reasoning section. However, I do not see an option to type out notes on 7Sage when taking a test test. My questions:

Thank you all!

Sincerely,

Stressed New LSAT Studier

I took a college course at an accredited university over the summer of 2022 but it was a part of an internship program and required. I got a grade for it but never transferred then credits and it did not apply to my gpa, do I still need to submit the transcript to lsac?

I just took a practice test on LSAC Law Hub, and I am reviewing my score. I swear it marked some of them wrong that I actually got right. It even says I selected answers that I had crossed out. It is too many questions for it to be me mis-clicking. For this reason, I think my score should have been higher. Is anyone else having this problem?

I have been studying with 7Sage for the last 4 months and improved my diagnostic from 148 to a 170 yesterday (pt83). Please feel free to reach out for questions about study schedule or my process. Happy to help!

Just Curious

Hey I am very interested in joining and just want an idea on how to even approach this course. Currently I am thinking about going through all the curriculum(I have 8 hours a day to spend on this), taking a diagnostic test, seeing where I am at, going to sign up for either a class or coach version, take drills and get a custom study plan. Is this a good plan, what plan do you suggest? I also want to know how do i know when to take my prep tests, do you guys offer any type of timing or anything so i can know whether or not I am taking an exam to early or too late. Also what is the difference between the coach plan and a private tutor. I mainly just want to have a structured plan (without me having to guess when I have to take a exam etc) while also getting real feedback?

After finishing the core curriculum, I've found it really hard to push on and keep practicing. I approached learning LSAT concepts with a lot of optimism, but the same can't be said for mastering them. How have you guys maintained your motivation after completing the core curriculum? Or is this just a me thing?

Hello Everyone,

I have taken basically all of the preptests from 60-94 within the past 2-3 years. I am taking the June 2024 LSAT because i want to get one last shot with the logic games (currently my best section).

I want to keep doing prep tests till the test in June. But all of the tests past 94 do not have logic games in 7Sage. What should i do? is there a way to switch it to 3 sections after 94 and do a random logic game section as my 4th section?

#help #admin

I know the correct answer is E, however I am stuck at how C is not the correct answer even after watching the

Johnson is not a commercial raspberry grower AND he got a plant that carried a virus. We know that these two qualities (plant with virus and non-commercial growers) are the complete opposite of the type of business MOST large nurseries do. So, would that not make it probable that Wally's is not a large nursery because the type of customer and plant received by Johnson is the complete opposite of what MOST large nurseries offer?

Is this a case of C not necessarily being incorrect, but E is just a better answer?

Hopefully that makes sense and thank you for any help

I am currently still so frustrated to deal with NA questions,

and i think i still haven't figured out how to practice negate strategy in POE.

Does anyone know the most helpful videos or any sources to parse it out or just help me make them clear?

Thanks a lot!

PrepTest B - Section 1 - Question 19

can anyone come up with an explanation for this.

Admin Note: Edited title. For LR questions, please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

PrepTest C - Section 3 - Question 08

I am confused as to why the answer is A and not C.

In the conclusion:

"But this cannot be so, for unless some uses of words are literal, there can be no nonliteral uses of any words."

is the first part:

"for unless some uses of words are literal"

a part of the premise?
