Hello,

I took the June 2023 test following two months of extensive prep, and I will be taking the test a second time in October. My plan initially is to not do the core curriculum all over again and just focus on timed practice, full PT's, drilling and just going back to the core curriculum as needed for the topics I find myself struggling with the most.

I have a full time job and need to optimize my prep as much as possible.

For context, the last 8 PT's prior to the June test I consistently scored in the lower 160's, but I ended up scoring 158 on the actual test. I am targeting 165+ on the October test. Also, I am using 7Sage for the first time.

Any thoughts on this?

Hi everyone,

I am attempting to study through chunking. What I mean is, in order to get myself back in rhythm of studying I'm going to use the chunking method so I don't burn out, so I can understand what I am learning, and to properly execute what I learned through practicing.

My main concern currently is how should I chunk the material?

For LG I do pretty well, I'm somewhere between 3-4 questions wrong (this is was the case in FEB) I don't know where I stand currently until I do some practice LGs.

The biggest section I want to focus on is LR. So,what should I chunk? Should I do 3 30 min chunking sessions throughout the day and have different concepts to chunk such as MP/MC, STR, Weaken or do 1 30min chunk session with 2-3 concepts and then later on in the day go through some flashcards to reinforce what I learned and do a couple of practice problems?

I believe this could help a lot of people if they don't have time such as myself.

What are your thoughts?

I'm taking the LSAT Flex at the end of this month. My laptop's built-in mic hasn't been working for the past week and I learned, today, that replacing it would mean replacing the entire laptop. I have a desktop microphone I can use but I'm unsure of whether LSAC allows this while taking the Flex and I can't seem to find an answer online or get anyone from LSAC on the phone.

Anyone have experience with this?

I would like to thank 7Sage for supplying the December 2014 LSAT. I know other programs do it as well, but I really appreciate 7Sage, J.Y. and the staff for allowing me to look over my mistakes on the 2014 Dec LSAT. I plan on taking it again on June 8th and feel confident that if I go through the course a 2nd time and go over the 2014 exam ( and any other PT I take), endlessly that I will do a lot better in June.

When I was studying for the Dec LSAT I put all my eggs into one basket, the Logic Games section. I would get 3-5 wrong and this was my saving grace. I was getting constant 156-157. Of course it's not the best score, but I felt good doing well in 1 section.. The others were average. In December of course, the games were a lot harder than most of the PTs I had taken (I think we all remember the rug game). I was never good at In/Out with a combination of Grouping, and I always put those off. Well, that bit me right in the ass.

That's some back story to my Dec. LSAT. I will be working hard for June! Congrats to anyone that did well in December and good luck to those studying for future LSATs!

Hey guys,

Hope there's been good news going around. I got into one of my top choices which is University of San Diego and they offered me a 36k scholarship for the first year, with the option of it being renewable if I keep my GPA above a 2.8. That seems pretty easy but I hear law school is on a different grade scale than undergrad. I'm a first- generation college student so I'm really trying to maximize my funding. Wondering if anyone has any tips or advice/forums/blogs anything on how to get the max financial aid.

Also, has anyone attempted to be flown out to schools on their dime? I'm trying to do that but am feeling uncomfortable approaching it.

Thanks,

Stephanie

Hi,

I chose C here because I thought it was supported by lines 5-7 and I didn't choose B because I didn't see how the passage showed how laws were less/more rigid (since I didn't see anything about laws being flexible or changeable). Can anyone help explain why B is right and C is wrong?

Any #help would be very appreciated!

Thanks!

I was WL by HLS. Really happy!

If anyone has experiences of what it is like to be on wait list for HLS schools, LMK.

Already submitted my LOCI. My favorite professor at Columbia University (got an A+ and worked alot together this year) wants to submit another letter of rec because she did not write one since i was not done with her course during my application period. Even tho HLS generally advises against this, should I do it? Should I call them up to ask or just send in a compelling LOR?

Hey guys,

just a quick poll, are we supposed to do the "drilling materials" section as a whole PT or as the title indicates just use them for specific types of problems. I'm a bit confused cause the curriculum lists them as whole tests and puts them before the modern tests. Just wondering if I should skip them in favour of the more modern tests. Opinions welcome and thanks.

First impression wise, not a bad argument, but we're looking for an AC that shows that despite the fact that broadsides had statements about morals, it doesn't mean that most 17th century people were serious about moral values.

Maybe people back then bought broadsides for other reasons unrelated to those moralizing statements. This is the loophole in our argument.

B - gives us another reason why people bought broadsides: they were drawn to the sensationalized account of crime and adultery rather than to the morals.

B shows that broadsides were also entertaining in nature, not just moralizing.

A - regardless of whether broadsides are of low or high literary quality, they were still moralizing in nature, and people still bought them, but we're still left wondering whether people bought broadsides because they cared about morals or something else.

C - gives us an irrelevant mini history lesson.

D - premise booster. Tells us what we know already, namely that broadsides were moralizing in nature, so it makes sense for the clergy to use the broadsides for moralistic purposes. But we're still left wondering whether the people actually cared about moral values or not.

E - it doesn't matter what well-educated people think or feel about broadsides but how they think about moral values. Also tells us nothing about what the remaining non-well-educated people think about morals, which means we most likely can't justify the "most" statement in the conclusion.

Help!!!

Ive written the LSAT before and scored a 150. I am writing in Jan 2021. Last time i studied, I felt like I knew the concepts decently well. I was pting about 160 and even got up to a 168 at one point. But I was being very lenient with my self on time. Come test day I completley freaked out and my anxiety took over me resulting in a 150.

I am BR-ing at about 160 currently. Its taking me some time to refresh some concepts in my mind but I am not necessarily worried about knowledge. I am looking for some help with strategies to deal with the timing aspect of it and not freaking out. Even when I sit down for practice tests I get super anxious and I can't think straight, let alone get through a test. Any advice would be super helpful! :(

For reference, I reside in Canada and have applied to Canadian law schools. My gpa is solid so I really only need around a 160 to get into the schools of my choice.

LG I would say is my strongest.

LR is decent, average about -7

RC is my worst. I have thought about just doing the three passages and trying to do them well ensuring i get the most possible questions correct and then if theres time remaining make educated guesses on the last passage. I would do this to make sure im doing the passages with the most questions first, and with the assumption that im doing well on my other sections. Do ypu guys think this a good strategy or do you have any other tips?

Any help is greatly appreciated!! :)

I got 168 from January and some drops on points from July flex.

I am not really sure if I should apply with this status, or if I should give it one more shot.

I am an international, is there a good chance for an international to get into T14 with 168 and AA?

Hi guys,

I am currently prepping for 2021 April LSAT and it has been so hard since I work full-time in advisory. I have finished all the LSAT prep courses and are doing prep tests now. Looking for someone to meet once a week via zoom/in-person ( I am currently in California and will be back to nyc in December) to go over prep tests and keep each other accountable.

Thanks!

Best,

Sherry

Hello,

I noticed that I am having trouble diagramming questions whenever I see the words "some" and "most" appear. In some cases, those words are used to indicate a some or most conditional relationship, but in other cases they are not. I noticed that sometimes I am diagramming some or most relationships where none exist, which is making questions take longer and making them more difficult for me than they really are with my skill/knowledge level. For example, I diagrammed question 22 from section 4 from pretest 70 (not sure if I can copy/paste question on discussion forum) as having some and most relationships when they didn't. When I watched JY's explanation, I realized that that problem should've been so easy, but I diagrammed it wrong. Does anyone have any advice about how to know when a some/most relationship triggers and when it doesn't? Thank you!

Hey everyone,

So I'll be taking the December test after getting my 165 on September. Hoping to crack into the 170's by December.

Anyway, I was wondering how the LSAC transcript stuff works for me if I'll be applying right after the scores come out for the December test. Am I going to have to send an updated transcript with my fall grades to LSAC? The only thing that I'm worried about is it taking too long to process and not having my apps ready to fire off as soon as scores come out. I would actually like them to be updated because I think it'll bump up my GPA ~.03 points (minuscule I know).

Thanks!
